Nvidia Quadro K3100M/K4100M/K5100M overclocking vBIOS mod
loopster replied to valuxin's topic in Components & Upgrades
Overclocking capabilities vary from chip to chip. Yours is simply not stable under these extreme conditions. Try a vbios wih lower clocks or mod your own bios to test out the max stable parameters for your specific card. Which one did you test, 1202 MHz? I have a spare K3100M lying around, but I've never gotten round to gauge its OC qualities, so I have no experence on its limits. -
HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
loopster replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
@GuitarG In case you can't fix it, pm me, I got a spare one lying around which I am willing to donate for free to a mad lad for the good cause. Postage costs only.- 92 replies

Buying a shorted mxm GPU : worth the risk ?
loopster replied to JadeRover's topic in Components & Upgrades
@GuitarG Are you still rocking that RTX 5000 in your 8570w btw? Impressive mod. I could only ever muster an overclocked M1000M in that machine 😁- 4 replies

Quadro P3000 & P4000 unlocked/OC vbios
loopster replied to TheQuentincc's topic in Components & Upgrades
Can't remember honestly... I guess I would have to retry to be sure I probably just did cmd.exe as admin cd into file path nvflashk --protectoff nvflashk -5 -6 newbios.rom, or maybe just nvflashk -6 newbios.rom This was from stock bios to 86.04.70.00.1B, which I took from techpowerup upon reading about it in this thread -

Flashing 86.04.70.00.1B onto P3000 worked with NVflashk on my zbook 17. -

I'm tempted to try this on my P3000. Could you do a before/after comparison of performance or benchmarks, please? -
Quadro P3000 (mxm type B) on HP Zbook 15 G2
loopster replied to Zeht's topic in Components & Upgrades
Oh btw., Zeht, your thermal problems may have had to do more with the fact that the Die of the Quadro P3000 is just a bit flatter than say K3100M, and the heatsink didn't make proper contact with the card. On my zbook 17 I used a maybe 0.5 mm copper shim between P3000 DIe and the heatsink right away when I replaced my K3100M to have the heatsink exert good pressure on the chip. I noticed this problem (heatsink not making optimal contact with the die) first when I replaced K3000M on Elitebook 8770W for a M4000M, but in this instance it was the threads of the M4000M MXM-bracket just being a teeny bit taller than of K3000M. In that case, I simply swapped the MXM brackets around and the thermals got to where they are supposed to be. I knew the max temps from the same mod I had done earlier on 8760w (replace Q3000 with M4000M). The first M4000M came with no bracket, therefore I had to take the bracket from the q3000. -
Quadro P3000 (mxm type B) on HP Zbook 15 G2
loopster replied to Zeht's topic in Components & Upgrades
Thanks guys for your answers. I only had little time in the past few days, upon testing a little further I found the card is boosting even beyond 1800, and it indeed performs way better in unigine superpostition than before. In 1080p medium it went from 6000ish to 7500ish. Annotation, I had to use nvflashk for flashng 86.04.70.00.1B Dell Bios, as stock nvflash wouldn't let me override the board ID. -
Quadro P3000 (mxm type B) on HP Zbook 15 G2
loopster replied to Zeht's topic in Components & Upgrades
Apparently I had this crappier Bios version (1240 MHz) of the Quadro P3000 on my card which I've been using in my Zbook 17 G2 (replaced K3100). Stumbling on this thread, out of curiousity I tried this 86.04.70.00.1B Dell version from your post, and loo and behold, now my card is utilizing the full 100W the slot can deliver. However, it is now boosting to a whopping 1746 MHz, and not only to 1493, as indicated in the GPU-Z readout. I don't mind that at all, temps with max. 75°C are well within sound range, but I was wondering why the huge boost difference? Is that a false readout, or can anyone explain a bit further?
