    Correct, that's because there is no mux switch and non DC screen = LVDS lcd and the newest and fastest card that supports LVDS video signal is 980m. After maxwell generation Nvidia dropped support for LVDS. Therefore you would need a DC screen to upgrade to newer cards + backlight mods. Parts : - DC screen and cable - newer gpu - backlight cable mod Alternatively you can get someone to build a custom lcd cable to connect the lcd connector of the motherboard to any modern 30/40 pin edp display. Parts would be : - custom edp cable - standard laptop eDP display - new GPU - backlight mod cable Getting a custom edp cable has been done before, on taobao it is possible to order some custom ones based on the laptop lcd connector.

    Honestly no, we would need a board level rewiring to make the eDP from motherboard use DP_D position on mxm slot. Not viable in my opinion. What is viable however is to do a backlight mod, meaning you have to use an MXM gpu with regular DP (display port) on DP_C position. Then use a backlight v2 mod cable to get an image on the internal lcd. There's still a problem with windows drivers but that can be fixed as well. This is by far the best method and the mod cable is easy to install with no soldering.

    @ssergey931 Yes that is because the iMac vbios has eDP on the correct spot for the zbook 17 g3. Other vbios have eDP signals on the wrong spot resulting in black screen if dGPU mode is selected. You can use my vbios overclocking program to get more performance out of it. I can get 1898Mhz on my core and 4504Mhz vram with my programs vbios. You feed it this iMac OC vbios and then select the clocks you want. The program only modifies clock tables, display tables are untouched and you will still be able to use the screen in dGPU mode.

    Very nice, with an overclock you should get >1070M overclock levels of performance! Yes, I saw your post on techpowerup. It should work. If it doesn't send me your vbios and I will take a look.

    Yes it happens with unsigned exes. You can download the source code, download python 3 and run CPR_MAIN.py and it will run the code directly without going through the packed exe. I see what you mean. The way the program works is by allowing the card to reach higher limit clocks. Meaning it will figure out the frequency/voltage points. It's not like msi afterburner's clock slider that uses the same voltage points but for higher clocks. For example, my p4000 stock vbios gave a maximum of 1240mhz @ 0.750v After the overclock from my program is applied it reaches 1898Mhz @1.050v. Unfortunately I doubt I will be able to obtain voltage control, I only found one person talking about voltage points and I could not find correlations with the clock table.

    Hi, Yes this is the same method as on this thread but the mod is done on the motherboard. Counting the pins on the second picture, pin 27 is actually the 9th pin after the big ground pad of MXM slot, so his method is also blocking the PWR_LVL signal from being sent to the MXM gpu.

    I checked again on the 8570w boardview and the LCD connector is wirred to DP_D of the MXM slot : Meaning no need for vbios mod I was wrong. If you have DC screen evey GPU with eDP support should work. What is the problem with 1070m @KbX ? no image ?
  8. JadeRover
    Unfortunately no, since non DC screen go through the LVDS port of the gpu and all pascal cards and above (including 1070m) don't have LVDS pins, no vbios can fix that. What it should do is make the 1070m work on DC screen since it wasn't possible before due to eDP placement mismatch in vbios. The 8570w doesn't use integrated graphics and the internal lcd goes directly to the dGPU if I am not mistaken.
  9. JadeRover
    That is due to a vbios mismatch with the mxm slot regarding eDP placement on the 8570w. What he needs is a custom vbios that has eDP on DP_C position of the card as that's where it is located on the mxm slot of the laptop. Most laptops have eDP on position DP_D of the mxm slot so most vbios have it set to that. He can use this Macrumors vbios for 1070m that has eDP on DP_C (that luckily exists) : https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/imac-2011-maxwell-and-pascal-gpu-upgrade.2300989/page-10?post=30799977#post-30799977 I discovered this when my p3000 worked with the internal display of my zbook 17 g3 (eDP on position DP_C) once I used another "Mac compatible" vbios

    V1.3.4 released. GitHub updated. Anyone with a pascal mobile card, a 1.8 volt firmware flasher like CH341a and spare time is welcome to use the program and try creating some custom vbioses. If you encounter issues I will ttake a look as to improve the program ! I can also use some testers for quadro P6 and P106m so that I can look into creating completely custom vbios for these cards.
  11. JadeRover
    @Will Short answer : Yes and yes Yes, the dGPU will be used a a video accelerator selectable in windows. This allows even GPUs with no display outputs at all such as MXM gpus like the quadro tesla M6, P6, P106m, etc, to work in MXM based laptops Yes, I had put a P3000m in my zbook 17 g3 and I would get no dipslay out if I forced dGPU in the vbios, the reason being that zbook had eDP on DP_C and the card had eDP on DP_D. What I ended up doing was bridging the 3.3v and PNL_ON and PWM of the MXM slot and then forced the graphics mod to dGPU only in the vbios to get a video out. I then had a picture on the screen with no way to adjust brightness, it was stuck at 100%. Using an eDP cable mod v1 or v2 will be much simpler (and less stressful) than soldering direclty to the pins. HOWEVER, nvidia drivers will decide "screw that" after they install and will disconnect the dGPU from the screen, usually ~10 seconds after windows loads and the driver starts. SuperMG found a workaround in windows to force the screen to stay on after the drivers install luckily, it is detailed in his "eDP cable mod" PDF instrutions.

    Hello everyone, Good news, an actual working version of the tool, v1.3.4 is in the works. The secret? Actually do some real life rigorous testing 😉 Here is some extreme overclocking on my p4000: That's right, compared to the base 1240mhz core and 3000mhz vram, we have a +800mhz core and +1500mhz on vram. Netting me a nice score (8th currently due to thermal throttle) : 3D mark p4000 leaderboard The tool should work with all pascal mxm modules. P1000 and P2000 are still in the works (not sure if I'll implement them) all others are functioning. Release coming soon.

    Hello, yes they make such flex cables that go from 40 pin .5 to 40 pin .4 I have used such an adapter for my precision 7720 to connect to a 4k .4 pitch lcd. They are a but flimsy and yes they have no retaining clips. However the sellers provide double sided tape. What you do is insert the male of the cable into the lcd (secure with tape so it won't move). Flip the flex cable around, remove sticky tape and stick it on the top of the lcd controller board. Voilà you converted your lcd to .5 pitch! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the installation. Here is one of the flex cable.

    Hello, so a bit of an update I got 2x8gb of 3200Mhz ram at a good price, using smockeless UMAF I first booted into the "Advanced" bios with some 2666Mhz ram and limited Ram speed to 2933Mhz. If I booted directly with my 3200Mhz sticks, since the machine goes for the highest speed you ram can achieve, it will not boot at 3200Mhz and gives a ram error code. Doing this method allows me to then swap the 2666Mhz ram for my 2x8gb of 3200Mhz ram and here are the results with a 102.7Mhz BCLK ! That's right, thanks to BCLK overclocking my ram is now running at 3011Mhz ! 3Ghz barrier passed ! Also for skyake the PCIe and BCLK clocks are seperate, I went over the documentation again and that is why you can get high BCLK value without causing problems for the rest of the system (only ram and cpu get a clock boost). I still need to find a way to get more than 102.7Mhz that is limited by intel ME version. I know it is possible as in this review of the MSI GT83vr with 6920HQ cpu, they achieved close to 105Mhz bclk : Overclocking sur le PC portable MSI GT83VR 6RF-037FR (SLI GTX 1080 / Core i7-6920HQ) Zoom of the picture :

    Hello, how is your project doing ? I am curious, did you isntall the xeon motherboard ? If so can you get throttlestop and check if the cpu has some overclocking bins ? I am curious if xeons have them as I am currently hesitating between getting a xeon motherboard or a 7920hq motherboard that I know for a fact has +6 turbo overclocking bins. Thanks.

    Ouch, that's unfortunate, maybe the age of the liquid cristals is making the image burn in ? I did notice that the DC screen on my m6700 would get very hot at the bottom of the screen bezel, where the eDP to LVDS converter sits, like 60°C hot !

    Hello, Yes, keep in mind all green pcb M3000m are the same regardless of HP or DELL branding, the only reason they call some DELL and others HP is for the different vbios. So yes if you convince the seller to flash that vBIOS for you it will work. Regarding driver install, you will need to mod an official driver yourself with nvflash (not complicated there are plenty of short tutorials on how to do so). No whitelist has never been an issue for me, only MXM laptops that have a whitelist and that I know of are lenovo P70 and P71 as well as early clevo dual MXM gpus laptops. Haha ok, honestly I would get a CH341a programmer, it really isn't that difficult to get it working, you can then flash 84.04.9B.00.14, especially if you still have your m3000m card with a zbook 17 g3 compatible vbios.
  18. JadeRover
    Hello, Yes luckily M3000m is getting really cheap, I got mine for 70 euros last year, now the price has dropped ! Probably the best price to performance card you can get for a working MXM card with little hassle (it also has LVDS support for even older MXM laptops). I would get the "for DELL" version. I had gotten mine from aliexpress for my precision m6700 that also has eDP on DP_D (just like your system) it was branded "for DELL" as well and it did have the correct display outputs set in the vbios. It was plug and play and my internal LCD worked properly, I didn't check the display port but I assume it works as well. - I think "for HP" is for the zbook 17 g3 that these cards originally came from where you have eDP on DP_C -> You would have the problem you had previously of diplay output mismatch. - I think "for DELL" is for dell precision 7710 that these cards where shipped in as well. That laptop has eDP on DP_D -> Would fix your problem. Good luck ! You can always sell your old card for probably the same price you got it for on ebay.

    Hello, yes I think I know what the problem is. You 8770W with dreamcolor screen connects directly to the GPU in the MXM slot meaning that the GPU must be configured to have eDP output to the dreamcolor screen (dreamcolor LCD uses LVDS but all laptops from that era with DC screen use an internal eDP to LVDS converter -> GPU needs eDP output to be set on the correct lane for it to work) Your 8770w had eDP on lane "D" of the MXM slot *, the signal then goes to the LCD connector, then to the eDP to LVDS converter and finally to the LVDS DC screen. See schematic of your 8770w, eDP are on the last 10 pins of the LCD connector, signal are named DPDx_Dx = DP_D The issue is that the zbook 17 g3 you got the card from uses eDP on lane "C" ! So the card is configured to output eDP on the wrong channel compared to your 8770w = no display. (I know this from my first hand experience getting MXM cards to work on my 17 g3 and getting no display as well because of eDP lane mismatch) The fix is simple, you need to flash a vbios that has the correct display configuration to the card. This dell vbios has eDP on DP_D (as it is from a precision 7710 that has eDP on DP_D): https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/221521/221521 They are several ways to flash the correct vbios. I recommend getting a CH341a programmer with 1.8v adapter, it costs 10 dollars max. Good luck and ask away if you have more questions * This is good news as this is the standard for MXM gpus, you could even upgrade to an RTX card by x-vision or other brands that come only with a vbios configured with eDP on DP_D !

    BTW what does gpu z show? Because it communicates with the Nvidia driver to get the clock values. Maybe I messed up (again) and have the wrong algorithm to read/write clocks. It would be nice to see if gpu z shows my custom clocks ore the clocks you are seeing in benchmark. Thanks.
  21. JadeRover
    OK that is unfortunate. No clue why memory clocks work on p106m but not on p6 as the actual hex values are the same. Same thing for the core clocks on p6. Maybe 2000mhz is too high, we can try 1800 mhz next. Also you can try a custom vbios made with v1.1 on p3200 and p4200 as clock values should now be saved correctly.
  22. JadeRover
    Here is an updated version (core clocks are in the correct format). Set to 2000Mhz (again vrel limit before seing this value) You said the memory was good, it boosted to 2000/4000Mhz ? Because checking again my custom memory clock was not in the expected format, strange that it still worked. I change the memory clock in this _1 version. It is in the expected format in version _1. In version _2 it is in the same format as my last p106m vbios. if you can give both a try that would be good. p106m_OC_checked_1.bin p106m_OC_checked_2.bin
  23. JadeRover
    Interesting. I might add these IDs but as a read only to see what card is recognized, especially for P6 and other cards that have a non standard clock layout and need different calculations in order to display the correct values.
  24. JadeRover
    It should normally. I haven't tested it. When you say 8 bit checksum, you mean the header checksum ? Or the last 8 bits of the 32bit body checksum ?
  25. JadeRover
    Yep, base clock is now 1230Mhz and boost is now 2000Mhz (you will hit vrel limit before seing this value) Memory is now at 4000Mhz target power is 100w, limit power is 120w and power slider is enabled. Checksum was fixed as well. You can try this @ssj92 teslap6_OC_power_mod.rom
