  2. MX5000B-XA | NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell MXM GPU Module DP 2.1 x 4 115w
  3. I am on bios version 1.5.0 and have been a long time! And I have not yet created the bootable USB drive for RU yet. Thank you for looking into this for me Section_PE32_image_Setup_Setup.sct.0.0.en-US.uefi.ifr.txt
  4. If the BIOS mod was created by Prema after the GPU was released it should be supported and it is about 99% certain it will be supported. If it was before the GPU was released then it is very unlikely. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about that kind of nonsense anymore. Sometimes I forget how bad laptops suck. Even the better non-BGA turds with desktop CPUs and MXM suck without a lot of stupid rigmarole. In hindsight I don't know how I put up with them for as long as I did.
  5. Do you have the Pro Ada 6000 MXM specs? VBIOS? X-VSION cards are high quality too. Nice soldering and nice composition just the software side is sad... Aetina's Ada 5000 (4090) has DP++ on all ports I believe. Which is way better lol but the price? Not better.
  6. they will say whatever, just like the eDP thing. They don't control anything. the design is made by pro partners/nvidia. the vbios is whichever vbios gets leaked that can work in mxm form. I'm also going to pass for now. At that price i'd rather buy the pro ada 6000 mxm card which is high quality. Heatsink shouldn't be a huge issue. the die size is determined by nvidia architecture.
  7. Not worth getting these cards. No more DP_D. The cores are big and maybe more heating than Ada. Stupid design that makes our custom heatsinks "obsolete" unless we drill the holes for them but overheating could happen. 0% eDP pure PEG compatibility unless I do a flexcable mod that I'll never do unless someone gives me 500€ for it lol. DP_B to DP_D thru hardware mods, without soldering and then it'll work with eDP maybe... Why did X-VSION lie about the design... I don't understand that. Wish we could fix the DP_B non-PnP issue with the EDID override and the 4080/4090 will work perfectly.
  8. I told you design will be different. design is based on the pro cards. I'd rather have my 4090 than that 5080. I'll see if I can sell some stuff for 5090 later. Would be fun to get working in AW18.
  9. Yesterday
  10. Mine came from System76, so its got their open source coreboot BIOS and EC. I just switched the GPU subsystem ID over to the X170KM so all drivers install without modding. I never backported NVPCF ACPI code for Dynamic Boost so it always runs at 150W, and I believe one of the display outputs no longer work (mDP maybe) because of physical wiring differences on the SM vs. KM board. The TB3 on the back definitely works as that is what I use all of the time. Oh and I am not sure if the seller on taobao is active anymore but back then I got a set of fans modded from the A51m R2 to work in the X170. More CFM and quieter!
  11. https://www.x-vsion.com/product/mxm-embedded-module-rtx-5080/ @ssj92The 5080 is available for 1600USD!!!! 2600USD FOR 5090?? WHAT Design is different. Why did they tell me it'll be like the previous ones?? Thankfully there are screenshots of GPU-Z. I could only find the RTX 5090 which is the 98.03.5C.00.88. And oh boy. It's eDP in DP_B!! WHICH MEANS... it'll act the same as the RTX 4080/4090. Also there's no DP_D so it won't work in 95% of the laptops out there. So the best card out there is the 4090 for us with EDID override or RTX 4070/3080 Ti without EDID override. Miscellaneous: By the way, I tested the DCB reader software for the RTX 3080. It says DP + HDMI on DP_B but it doesn't work. Only DP_C (HDMI port on the M17X but somehow the software states as DP/USB-C) and DP_D (DP) work. VBIOS is 94.04.35.00.21
  12. When you upgraded your SM-G to the 3080, did you have to perform any special steps to get it working? (Aside from the usual INF modding that is). My machine came with Premamod when I bought it, so I'm guessing that makes the 3080 pretty much plug and play from there.
  13. Actually this version might be even better. I adjusted more obscure timings after doing a bit more research. Totally stable with my G.SKILL Trident F5-8400J4052G24G kit. Testing now with the TeamGroup Xtreem CUDIMM kit and seems to be identical. Below is a link for the settings. Z890 Apex 8600 Validated - BIOS 9901
  14. Check your BIOS version in CPU-Z and tell me which version you’re on. If needed, you can send me the extracted text file as well. First, downgrade your BIOS to 1.7.3 since newer BIOS versions can lock or restrict some settings. Have you made the bootable USB for RU yet?
  15. Interesting. Yeah their website is still up, but I see no more products for sale. Weird.
  16. Hello, I have a W870CU where I believe the GTX 460M is starting to die (it needs to be underclocked or else the system will hard crash). I decided to take a gamble on a Dell NVIDIA Quadro 3000M as it was cheap and also Fermi. I installed it into my machine (it was quick and easy, no need to modify/change the heatsink), but when trying to power it back on, the screen is all black with the laptop beeping continuously. Has anybody who has had success with upgrading one of these chime and let me know what GPU’s work and if this laptop has a vBIOS whitelist?
  17. I spoke with Janepa and he did both hardware and software ways. So it's very difficult for anyone to try. For X-VSION 5080/5090. I asked for the VBIOS and it's been 8 days since they replied to my emails. Their last email was I have already submitted your request to the company for approval I will reply to you after confirming I just wanted to see the VBIOS before purchasing. Yes they don't give them away for free to testers... Either they are in vacation (they didn't inform me) or they blocked me like ZRT and I can no longer purchase from them? (Hopefully not). I hope there's a fix for the DP_B port. Because it's a non-PnP data. Yes Windows device manager shows "TWO screens". One non-PnP (error 43) and one PnP (internal LCD EDID override). If we could fix the DP_B to be PnP then we can use the external DP port with the drivers. Or only edit the VBIOS DP_B part. Switch eDP to basic DP and test the VBIOS. I hope the security doesn't take in account the one port of the DCB! I'll also receive in 1-2 days my XWH200 WirelessHD receiver for the M17X R4 DMC card
  18. You may be able to get the heatsink from rjtech / sager. That is where I purchased mine. It was around $300 total including shipping. I still have my x170sm with the 10900k LTT golden sample and 3080m. Thought about selling it though to fund some new purchases.
  19. yep i got three bottom 140mm fans blowing directly into the GPU fans, that in turn push the air up to the top of the case before its pushed out via the push/pull on the radiator. got another 140mm fan on top of the gpu backplate cooling RAM and SSDs directly, but also provides airflow to the WVPII / gpu connector in front of the fan. for context, gpu temps are in the low to mid 60s with the matrix vbios and max stable OC applied, with the temp sensor in the WVPII never having breached 60C. im more in the mid 50s with the inbuilt WVPII fan barely spinning at like 20%. im suspecting it has something to do with uneven cable pin seating, since im getting fluctuating results based on installs. just now i switched back to the original cable that i used for my 4090 previously (since the backup seems to be even worse) and currently running BMW as a stress test in the background: whaddayaknow, the six pins show super even current load again. while i switched out the cables i also reseated the WVPII and now used two different 8 pin sockets on the PSU. ill hold on to the 5 additional cables i ordered, can never have enough of these crappy cables it seems... ill let it run for a while now and analyse the results via HWInfo64. will report back. compared to smoking the 5090 which currently goes for like 4-4.5k € new i dont mind spending 110 bucks total on 5 cables to have in reserve LOL
  20. Does your chassis have fans in the bottom blowing directly on the cable and GPU? I also wonder if the width and frequency of the temperature delta between room temperature (cold) and maximum sustained load temperature affects anything, even when the high is totally fine, how often it experiences that range from low to high to low. The frequency of that delta shift might be causing fatigue of these incredibly fragile turds? It is unusual how fast your system chews through these crappy cables. But as you said, thank God for the WVP2. It is a reasonable expectation for PSU cables to last beyond the lifespan of anything in the system, including the PSU. But, these are such $hitty examples of engineering incompetence that it is not the case. There is no reason that anyone should ever have to replace any PSU cable due to any reason except for accidental physical damage (cuts, pinches, etc.). "Normal wear and tear" is an unacceptable reason, especially if they are less than 10 years old.
  21. your guess is as good as any. whatever the case may be, environmental conditions inside "normal" values shouldnt have such an immense impact. i mean, its not like were in the tropics / desert / arctic circle here...
  22. I wonder if ambient conditions such as humidity come into play with the connection integrity? I don't think I've ever seen or heard that mentioned anywhere and I can't help but wonder if it has any effect.
  23. nope thats with the matrix 800W vbios, although in BMW the wattage barely breaks 600W, maybe goes to max. 620-630 at most. seen much higher wattages in other titles or benchmarks. duuude im SO happy i got the WVPII, bringing those "invisible" failure points to my attention! edit: aight, ordered 5 different cables from 3 different sources, lets get our cable binning ON! lulz at least im glad to see that the variable really seems to be the cable and not the GPU, the WVPII or the PSU, that would suck even more. wish me luck guys!
  24. I bought 40 pin cable for upgrade, I'm thinking about making another separate thread for documenting upgrades 🙂 I want to upgrade GPU, too.
  25. Sorry to hear about the 2080. You might be able to see if Tony at Northwest Repair could fix it for you. Worth a shot asking. Probably much cheaper than a replacement or upgrade if he can. I suspect the problem is failed memory chip(s). I think Rockitcool are still in business... https://rockitcool.myshopify.com/
  26. Thank you, I really appreciate that. I will happily pay for the shipping. I haven't tried contacting Rockitcool yet as I've hear they've gone out of business, but it never hurts to try. I'll try messaging them. Also thanks for the heatsink link. I almost bought the wrong one, claiming it was the right part. Pay attention to pictures guys.
