    i have 1866mhz DDR3L's in my 8570W, CPU-Z shows as 1600mhz in Mempage, but in SPD page they are 899x2 so 1800. Not sure if they can be OC'd would love to know as i still havent found a set of 2133's yet, they are proving to be tooo elusive.

    as an 8570W owner (baby brother of the 8770w) im intruiged as to some of the mods, Nice work so far I'm currently running i7-3940XM, 32Gb (1866mhz HyperX) Samsung 870 4Tb & 1TB MSata SSD with a 965M MXM card. Love the lid cover too umbrella Corp 🙂 is there any data on Custom cable and display? i know my Mobo maxes out at 980M or 1060M MXM cards. running a normal display not the DC one.

    Finally my 965M Type A arrived (yay), second try, first one never existed from buyer..... long story. Running the 3940XM and 1866 DDR3L ram nicely. also running a 200w brick so i dont run out of juice. Time to crack open the case (again) PTM 3950 and MX-4 at the ready.... Did anyone ever work out the CPU fan JST plug pin pitch? i think its JST-GH (1.25mm P-P) Also did anyone have success with CoreBoot for 8570W? Apologies for all the questions. 🙂

    my K1000M was always pushed hard hence looking at 965M upgrade 😄 That said with the Alchemist cards they must be "outputting" to something the MoBo has on the MXM card edge so why wouldnt it work with the elitebook?
  5. Daedalus
    Actually was looking at this card trying to work out how the DVD port allows addressing and the ODDBay GPU output back to the screen as it doesnt appear to have edge HDMI or any connector on DVD bay side.

    was the driver update done post or pre card install? i see some users have backlight issues until drivers are done. I have the latest 965M nvidia driver and also NVFlash files for it, so hoping for some level of success wen i drop the 965M card in. I know its not going to be as simple as drop the card in like some YT vids seem to show. On a different note, did anyone get the MSATA ssd card to boot via bios edits??

    thanks for that, yep that was the earlier pages i was referring to which showed the fan without chassis sat in the DVD bay i couldnt quite see from the pics the cable feed from fans hence the ask 🙂 . i can see various Aliexpress splitter leads for desktop machines but the tiny tiny JST on laptops is sooo much smaller. i could mod the current fan but would be happier with a splitter as it reduces the risk of frying fan IC. however Both fans will only be seen as one. obviously cant be set at different speeds as they are one fan port. To create a splitter isnt impossible for us awesome soldering skills, just finding the connectors to create a solution. Even taking the 5v line from DVD port give power but PWM control is only via CPU fan so both will rotate the same RPM (i think).

    Are there any pics of the dual fan lead? i saw the fan mod in the now vacant DVD bay as 980M negated DVD port and ability to use. I'm trying to search Ali and google to identify what the fan connector (tiny what looks like JST) port on the mobo to see if a dual splitter lead exists to take from the Fan connector by CPU. Although something make me think the DVD port 5v was used? Now ive secured a 965M im tempted to run the GPU H/sink mod on the "A" type card to improve the cooling.

    Nice work for 27$, 8770W? What screen did it come with? now you can try the full size cards. Oh, Managed to track down a 965M A finally so im almost catching up. The 965M card is from a Clevo, should that cause me any issues in working with the HP? i dont think its got whitelist issues? N16E-GR-A1 is the GTX core. has N16E-GR V2.1 4gb -77-P75DL-D02 on sticker. just wanted confirmation before i order.

    Just an update, Now running the 3940XM Core with TPM9750 and the 14900 / 1866 DDR3L HyperX ram (32Gb) couldnt find the uber-rare 2133 sticks....yet. Ram was easy, forgot the whole top cover comes off for CPU. although seeing some YT video's some of the lesser elitebooks have no black plastic or reduced frame web in the middle so CPU/GPU cooler can come out. Anyone reduced a 8570W frame to assist component removal without top case removal? So that was fun. Still on the hunt for 965M type A, i did notice the 1050M exists in type A and it seems more easy to obtain, would there be any reason why it wouldnt work in the 8570?
  11. Daedalus
    That is all valid, i know other users have pushed the mobo to its limits running the hungry cards and limited the mobo longevity. Does anyone know the sensible limit they were designed for? I am running a 200w PSU as the 75W unit was getting toasty. So i have headroom, but 200w into a mobo and DC jack not designed might fail elsewhere. 980M as you say might be doable (with H'sink from 8770 and DVD port mod / select bay delete) trying to source the micro JST cables for fan splitter is proving fun as they seem too big a connector) Anyone know their name?. The Type "A" journey ends at 965M it seems as i dont have DC screen and scouring Ebay etc, only finds a type B 965M card (which i dont think will fit the 8570W without clipping the DVD port. 980M's seem more plentiful. The only 965m "A" card i found on Ali was N16E-GR-A1 Did you have any issues with your 980 clevo card? i see some list HP/Dell/Clevo etc so its difficult to identify correct card part number to get hold of. do you have a part number sticker or N16 chip marker in the 980?

    That is helpful, not yet at the crazy modding MXM boards yet. I noticed there was a 980M board earlier in the thread that additional 220nf caps and FETs were added to improve. whilst 980M i think (please correct if wrong) is final incarnation of the 900 series maxwell board at 8GB, so odd they leave unpopulated, that said its an MXM B so might be reused in the 10 series before the card design went all weird. I'm comfortable soldering those on (dont have hot-air station) but couldnt see orientation in picture (didnt want to solder a cap backwards and wonder why card wont work). Ideally for me id like to minimise the Vbios work and fingers crossed its just new Nvidia drivers loaded with H'sink mods to make a card work in my 8570w Looking at Mobile PCI Express Module - Wikipedia itwould appear the mighty RTX 4050/4060 (lovelace generation) is the final "type A" to be able to fit and use the standard H'sink in the 8570W. However i suspect drivers & Vbios might scupper that

    Thanks for the response. indeed, im sure the t1000 isnt far off the older 965M and will use the same heatsink size. (happy to go "big" if it enables more card options (albeit with more risk of working). I see the newer 1070/1060 cards are options but are newer generation and give MXM-Type A capability. That said more work to enable (comparable to 980M "big". Happy to heatsink mod (ex-Engineer 😉 ) I think for me the less "driver mod" options which will probably push me to 965M/980M anyways. I notice alot of the MXM "B" boards have unpopulated sockets/solder locations for stuff like RAM and caps / fets etc. why is that? For the 980M was there a specific part / serial number board that worked?
  14. Daedalus
    i think the HP 8750W is limited by standard LVDS screen to use 980M max, anything newer seems to push the need to fit the DC screen or swapping in a new screen from a newer model. i saw the T1000 in the Wiki however whilst a newer card, doesnt seem to have decent resolution output. Is the t1000 actually a more powerful card though, specs seem to say 980 is more gutsy. whilst im still on the fence on best card to get (not ordered the card yet) still keen to take recommendations from your good selves.

    Which CPU generation was your 2012 laptop? Just curious if the Turing Gen GPU cards are matched to certain CPU generations. Therfore assume the MXM port isnt a limitation if you can then run Maxwell (original) then Pascal & Turing. I'd love to try a Turing Card in the 8750W however the later cards i think are bigger than the 965/980M's footprint and also i think the LVDS "normal screen" will only run 980 at best. Found this wiki if of use. Mobile PCI Express Module - Wikipedia
