Do u have any pictures of how the holes looks like?

Take a look at this: It might help you, since the card has the same layout. Anyway, I’d go with thermal putty.

Yeah, I didn't get the "DVD" thing either. He must've mixed it up with the M6800.

Are you using the latest driver? And what about the brightness adjustment, is it stuck to the max or can you adjust it normally?

That's nice! Please, let us know if everything goes well and you're able to get a larger capacity (suppose 16GB) running stably at 2933.

Awesome topic! I’m definitely going to try these mods on my 7720 with the Xeon E3-1535M v6. I’m really interested in the RAM overclocking and RAM SPD writing, do you think it’s possible to push the memory beyond 2666MHz stably? Anyway, I’ll be patiently waiting for the full guide. Keep up the amazing work!

As the title says, based on your experience, what’s the best way to remove the sticky rubber coating/soft touch finish from surfaces like the palmrest or the laptop lid, especially on Alienware and Dell Precision models?

Just to let you know, I tried running 3200MHz on both the 7710 with an i7-6920HQ and the 7720 with a Xeon E3-1535M v6, but it wasn't possible. I only managed to get the 7710 to boot once with a single stick in a single slot, but it was extremely unstable. Otherwise, it would always throw memory-related LED error codes and fail to POST entirely. Now just out of curiosity: I once saw a listing on Xianyu for a 7720 motherboard with a Xeon E3-1575M v5 (the one with 128MB eDRAM L4 cache) where the seller claimed it ran 3200MHz stably, but I'm not sure if that's actually true.

Hey, did you get it installed? Did it work?

UPDATE #3: A few more parts have arrived: • Dell Latitude E5550 Keyboard with Backlight (DP/N 0383D7) • Dell Precision 7720 US Keyboard Bezel (DP/N 0KKXK6) • SATA M.2 Interposer Board (DP/N 0WPTND) • SATA M.2 Bracket (DP/N 0Y1WJX) • UHD (4K) eDP LCD Video Ribbon Cable (06GXDN) • Dell Precision 7720 Screw Kit The SATA M.2 Interposer Board is working perfectly. Here’s a speed comparison and a picture of how it looks like installed in the HDD caddy: The keyboard is also working perfectly (I hadn’t installed the keyboard bezel in the picture). Now something I hadn’t noticed before: the Xeon E3-1535M v6 motherboard that I got has a missing SMD electrolytic capacitor: I’ll look for an identical capacitor and try to solder it. I don’t have much knowledge of electronics, so if anyone can tell me exactly how I should search for it to buy the same one, I’d appreciate it.

What about AMD cards? Do you know if it's the same thing? Your FPC cable would also be necessary and work? I have a Dell Precision 7720 and i'm planning on maybe upgrade its GPU to a RX 6600, specifically this one: It comes from a Thunderbolt eGPU dock and looks identical to the X-VSION card (has display port on DP A, B, C and D). Do you have any ideia if it might work? Thanks in advance

Hey, could you provide some pictures of the heatsink/MXM slot modification or the installation process, please?

UPDATE #2: The motherboard I bought from Aliexpress has finally arrived. After a visual inspection, I noticed a few things: • Indeed, it's a Precision 7720 motherboard (LA-E321P) • The seller forgot the CPU heatsink mounting bracket • The NS692417 IC chip has a cracked package • The seller told me it was a Xeon motherboard, but the DP/N 05V4K9 indicates it is an i7-7920HQ model. At first, I thought there were two possibilities: either the seller sent me an i7-7920HQ motherboard by mistake, or it's a motherboard that was previously repaired and had its CPU replaced. • Judging by the solder flux residue marks and other details like "bubbles" on the insulation sheet, the latter option is correct: the motherboard has been previously repaired, as expected. After the visual inspection, I installed the motherboard in the chassis and tried to boot it even without the CPU heatsink mounting bracket. After some struggling with shutdowns due to high temperatures caused by improper contact between the heatsink and the CPU die (I didn’t want to take the CPU heatsink mounting bracket from the 7710 motherboard because I want to keep it as "original" as possible), I was able to access the BIOS and got confirmation: the CPU is indeed a Xeon E3-1535M v6, just as the seller told me. NOW IT'S OFFICIALLY A 7720! After that, I booted into Windows and tested all the functions: RAM slots, SSD slots, MXM slot, WLAN slot, etc. Everything is working normally. As for the CPU heatsink mounting bracket, I have already bought a defective 7710 motherboard to remove its bracket. While I was installing the "new" motherboard, I made a mistake. I really wish I had seen this comment earlier: So, the thing is: the 7710 left side IO daughterboard (DP/N 0CJFG2) connected just fine to the 7720 motherboard, but when i tried to connect the right side IO daughterboard (Dell P/N 0GMNG8) to the 7720 motherboard, I noticed that it wasn’t fitting correctly, even though it was perfectly aligned, so I forced it and ended up damaging the plastic guides for the connection. Now somehow I will try to fix that plastic guide, and I think I’ll have to buy a 7720 right side IO daughterboard. Well, despite everything, I consider this 7720 motherboard was a good deal, since it’s working and I got it for really cheap.
