    Hard to keep up these days, so many changes. mVolt 0.33+ add many new features, including fan controls, new System Clock and Video Clock Offsets. No idea what they are for. Also have a new Xbar Ratio that allows even higher Xbar according to some. https://github.com/b00nz/mVolt/ @Mr. Fox Sorry to hear about your fuses, but glad it was just that and you'll have them fixed up with higher amp versions soon.

    not to be difficult, UK users cant see IMGUR pictures, so all i see is a blue block. Awesome progress though. Shame the 8570W journey ends. Did anyone uncover the HP LVDS cable pinout diagram? i seem to recall its in an older post (i'll go hunt for it. Happy to try recreate the cable, just need to get a bundle of LDVS to sacrifice 😄
  6. Mr. Fox
    I do not disagree. It should be priced under $200 or not at all. But, less money compared to their other offerings. Their new loss leader for losers. The notion that they would sell a 4GB version is beyond laughable and worthy of harsh ridicule.

    For less money? Depends on the eyes that see. Still heavly overpriced. Should be more like "more garbage for more money"😎 PC Partner warns of rising GPU prices and budget card shortages — analyst suggests makers are hiking prices beyond memory costs The question is whether price increases have benefited anyone beyond those early in the supply chain. Jon Peddie, who has been tracking the graphics industry for about 25 years, does not seem to believe that all the graphics card prices are due to increased costs. "[This all does] not necessarily equal an increase in profits, although I suspect it does, and the AIB suppliers are taking advantage of all of the press reports on higher memory prices and shortages to raise AIB prices more than the delta in memory costs," Peddie said.

    Hi, I am not planning to sell separately the components, sorry.

    That little zip when the fans spin up can happen and doesn’t necessarily mean the fan is failing, especially if everything else is running normally. I’d keep an ear on it for now, but if the noise gets louder, turns into grinding/rattling, or starts happening constantly, I’d definitely use the warranty rather than risk it.

    I got that to work in the P870 and P775 without the power connector! You just need a new heatsink for it.
  14. harkaz
    It's a pity that I do not need the entire chassis, but only the modified heatsink for a RTX3080 I recently ordered (I want to avoid the Chinese ones). If you would be interested in selling the heatsink only, please let me know, as I am based in the EU.

    Confirmed only blown fuses. GPU is totally fine. I bridged the F1 fuse solder pads with a wire for testing and it's good to go. Now I just need the fuses and we'll be back to normal +1 fuse for extra capacity.
  18. Mr. Fox
    Nothing has changed, unfortunately. They are still as stupid and incompetent as ever.

    It may, but I don't have one of those. I got the 2080 super at a very good price but don't exactly have the funds to go buying newer cards. Plus, the 4070 mxm is a different shape and does not have the clevo power connector, so it would likley be a chore to fit into the laptop. I think anything newer than the 20 series also requires an updated cooler because of hole spacing differences. The dram chips are fine, the spacing is similar enough to the old 10 series card that I could just reuse the thermal pads with slight adjustments to spacing and make fine contact with all of them, the vrm is the main thing I am worried about. Old nvidia driver is an interesting idea, I never knew that the powerlimit setting was not intended. Seems rather stupid to lock useful functionality for no reason.

    What have changed the last months @Mr. Fox?🙄 August update crashes games and has bugs such as black screens The August update for Windows 11 (KB5121003) can cause games like Arc Raiders to crash and is struggling with other problems.

    Latest win updates done on the ltsc's, all well as always :O)

    pretty cool, couldve gone 50 other ways straight to gpu melting hell instead 😄
  24. Mr. Fox
    I am actually kind of surprised they have not already blown the way I have pushed this GPU for benching. I've run way more than they should have allowed me to, but Steel Nomad is famous for the massive power spike in the first couple of seconds and I think that experimenting with the 2000W vBIOS together with the shunt modding was the straw that broke the camel's back for the fuses. I normally have used a 800W or 1000W BIOS.
  25. SuperMG
    Hello. Won't the RTX 4070 MXM fix your issue? It performs like the 3080 150W and it only uses 115W. You need to cool down its VRAM chips too. The GDDR6 on those can achieve 90C max if well cooled. The VRM don't get too hot and I never had any shutdown issue with it. Second option: You can use an older Nvidia driver, it's a bug that allows to set the power limit.
  26. cathoderayfish started following Reducing power limit on Clevo 2080 super and other questions about p775dm3
  27. cathoderayfish
    I upgraded my p775dm3 to a 2080 super, and it all works OK; however the modifications I had to do to the cooler and unholy stacks of thermal pads I had to make to get contact with the VRM makes me weary of the 200w power limit of the card, I also notice that the system does experience a hard shutoff if I run a GPU stress test for an extended period of time. (I assume the VRM is having a thermal limit trip). MSI afterburner and similar linux utilities do not seem to know much about the card, and I am not able to lower the power limit in them. (I did have to do the inf mod for Windows drivers and I am on Wayland in Linux, so perhaps it is just a coincidence and both of those two are actually causing the issue). I know it may sound stupid, but I am pretty worried about the VRMs overheating and/or the card drawing too much power from the laptop not desiged for it, so I would like to find a way to lower the power limit maybe to 180w or 150w. Anybody have a VBIOS for the clevo 2080 super with a reduced power limit? Secondly, I am a bit confused about BIOSs for this laptop, as I understand there are some BIOSs that change the ID such that the inf mod is not needed on Windows. Currently, the laptop has an older version of Dsanke bios (had it when I got it), probably pre-rtx. For a daily-driver, would it be better to update to the latest dsanke version (maybe one with rtx support) or to go with a Prema bios? What is considered to be the 'best' bios for performance option unlocking as well as daily stability and full functionality?

    Basically a stack shift to shoe horn in a very poor card where a 9060 should go while those former prices have all shifted up and will most likely continue to shift upward. This card is bad for the price. If it was $199.99 it suddenly becomes an ok budget card but $280? And this was the 8GB version..... I can imagine the 4GB version is just going to be extreme trash versus just normal trash on this one. WOW......I mean I'm glad to see the fuses doing their job but damn..... Hopefully this will be a quick and easy fuse swap and upgrade, but yikes.

    Hi, Purchased a sweet nebula red unit to go alongside my other red M15X I'm planning on swapping over the i7 940XM & GTX 970M (6GB) into this M17X R2, then eventually buy the same parts again to go back into the M15X. BIOS: Currently on version A6. Would i be able to update the bios without the battery? Using my genuine 240W dell charger. I would like to use an unlocked bios as my intention with this machine is to do some cpu overclocking. I was heavily limited to just turbo boost multiplier adjustments on my M15X. GPU: Do these M17's accept newer mxm cards like this Dell 970M i have? Down the line if possible it would be cool to throw dual 980M's inside this thing. Display: Sadly this ones a 1440 x 900 panel. Can i simply install a new WUXGA LCD providing its the same pin layouts / matching specs of a standard WUXGA these shipped with new? Battery: As expected, the battery is not present. Where could i find a half decent aftermarket one to? Bottom cover rubber feet: Some of rubbers have gone missing, Is there a decent alternative i could use? Any help / info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Everything we discussed was done right from the start, yet the problem persists. I’ve noticed that the card heats up—meaning there is power—but the system and BIOS absolutely do not detect it. I’m not sure if flashing a Dell VBIOS would help.
