    All of mine are lvds and I've read comments on the old forum that it doesn't work in the M18X R2 so I haven't tried it.
  2. nforce4max
    That doesn't surprise me as I've had similar experiences where some cards just worked in win 10 while there were issues with 7 for example.
  3. nforce4max
    Sigh, give it one last shot in the m6700 with the IGP driving the display and see what happens. If it doesn't work out there then this card probably isn't suitable for laptops.
  4. nforce4max
    Should if the card supports edp otherwise it is probably only good for a SFF desktop. If all else fails you could try to see if it plays nice with an IGP in either the M6700 or M18X to help rule out some other odd compatibility issue like system bios or the EC etc.
  5. nforce4max
    I think that there is a good chance it will work as I got an M6700 with the same panel and it worked well with an WX 7100.
  6. nforce4max
    Would it be possible to give it a go in your second m17x r4 with the 120hz screen as that should be edp.
  7. nforce4max
    Be sure to check if your M6700 has an edp screen, if not then there is a chance it might have the same results as the M17x R4 as it is clearly not playing nice with the IGP. If it doesn't play nice with edp then this experiment would likely rule out this card from being a viable option for laptops.

    I have to assume that it doesn't support LVDS and a big maybe for EDP hence not working in peg mode. If the m6700 has an edp screen it is worth a shot despite all the work needed.

    Just burn it.

    There is some real eye bleedingly bad heatsink mods in another thread to ruin your day lol.
  11. nforce4max
    Boards are very cheap right now even compared to food right now (amazing times for all) and chances are good that everything else is going to be ok.
  12. nforce4max
    Personally I would look into modifying the spring clip rather than chopping up the fin stack to make it all fit but either way the HP version is a real piece of work to physically install.
  13. nforce4max
    Much rather just toss in a Quadro M2200 for low effort or a Quadro T1000/T2000 with some effort.

    Issues with msata slots are pretty much nonexistent so far in my experience, the only gripe is the cost of 2TB but beyond that no physical issues. When there is a lack of msata there is the option of pci-e to nvme however most slots out there are limited to 2242 due to the physical length of the space provided while others no space at all and I've been having trouble with extender cables lately.

    Well finally bothered with installing the HP version of the Quadro RTX 3000 and it well well thus far aside from having hell with modding the heatsink between the offset core (news to no one) as well the coils blocking the heatsink. Would have preferred to have an cnc machine as more precise work would have been nice but without having much for tools didn't help. I made no change at all with the fin stack and there is a little room for the heatsink to be slightly offset without causing any real issues with the rest of the machine. Should anyone bother with installing this particular card it would be prudent to have a spare heatsink as it is surprisingly fragile.
  17. nforce4max
    The power requirements are pretty much at the limit but having already used an WX7100 with the M6700 being a 150w card I don't see this being an issue upfront so it should work however the real problem is the coils blocking the heatsink.
  18. nforce4max
    I would love to have one of those along with a good pcb printer with a pick an place machine to make my own mxm cards but oh well. There is a little bit of the lower body that has to be trimmed where the two heatsinks meet for alignment but only requires some pliers to break off. Other than not having an hot air station I only got one of these cards and having to decide between two machines which is to get this upgrade. The other machine is an top spec 7510 and I would have to remove the ethernet port along with a small header on the board then mod the heatsink however boards for this model aren't as disposable as the 4800 should something go wrong.
  19. nforce4max
    I have the card on hand and it will fit however it does require some real effort though the display cable isn't going to be a problem aside from removing the clip. What will suck ass is having to remove one of the rear ports and heavily modding the heatsink.
  20. nforce4max
    It will work but you will quickly realize that it is a furnace, the 2860qm is the same chip at stock just 10w less and noticeably cooler however overclocking that is limited to just tinkering with the turbo. I don't remember what the vrm limits are but pretty sure its the same as the M6600 just with a lot less cooling.
  21. nforce4max
    I didn't do extensive testing as the temps were not great at stock but would have expected at least 3.2 give or take.
  22. nforce4max
    Options are limited beyond the M2200M and they're fairly expensive while requiring some modding. The Quadro T1000 and T2000 are known to work including the HP versions but the heatsink is lacking. I do believe that it is possible to get an RTX 3000 from HP for the Z2 Mini however this is an 80w card and you'll have to mod the heatsink as well desolder one of the rear ports as the card is much wider normal.
  23. nforce4max
    Installed a 4TB Kioxia nvme drive (KXG70PN84T09) and it worked without issue. After a few hours of use I have to say the temps are noticeably better at idle than the kbg40znv1t02 (1TB) drive it replaced while at load it was a few degrees higher overall.
  24. nforce4max
    Don't remember temps as much beyond that they were not satisfactory though something like honeywell ptm7950 would help. As for the program Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and for the version I got installed is 4.2.0.8 for compatibility reasons.
  25. nforce4max
    With an program yes but thermal performance isn't great but regardless Dell sold loads of M4600s with this cpu and got one myself.
