Any idea when the more expensive option would be out? Update: The M6800 GPU heatsink I ordered from ebay has just arrived at my doorstep! Shipping sure is quick! But that's because I'm in Singapore and shipping from China only takes 1-2 days... 😆

Ah yes, I have read some performance issues/limitations if it is working through Optimus. Does the backlight not work using Optimus? I will have a look at the RTX 4080 or 4090 ZRT version or Quadro RTX 5000 depending on your recommendations.

Which ones will you recommend? RTX 5090, RTX 4090 or Quadro RTX 5000? I want to give them a try!

His case was the only one I can find on the internet with a successful 32GB being ran in the M6800. Sadly though, there's nothing to back his case other than what he mentioned.

Just bought one from cicichen! Does it mean we can use the Quadro RTX 5000 or RTX 5090? https://www.ebay.com/str/cicichen594 cichen's shop details above! Many custom made heatsinks etc available!

Just the generic Intel ones. I'm using Win10.

You can get the BE200HMW, it works directly in our usual WLAN card slot without having to go through any adaptor. It supports WIFI 7 and Bluetooth v5.4. I have one on my M6800!

That's great news! Does it mean we can use this CPU heatsink to install the MXM B cards that is offset to towards the centre of the card? Also keep us updated on the more expensive option when it comes out!

Those cards beyond RTX3000 either have a slightly different offset layout that needs extensive mods on the gpu heatsink or is build a tad too big to fit the M6800.

Haven't got around to it yet as i had to fix another friend's laptop. Will try it this weekend.

U can install a WIFI 7 card (Intel BE200HMW) though. So not sure why you went with WIFI 6. I made the same mistake until I came across a post on this thread of another member successfully installing the Intel BE200HMW and went with it as well. Like panda_zzz mentioned all 4980HQ CPUs currently on the market, adapted for the socket in the M6800, are limited to 2 RAM slots. Previous reports of one guy being able to use 4 RAM slots are unconfirmed and unlikely to be true at this point as no evidence were furnished to show all 4 RAM slots in use. All postings I come across online all points to being limited to 2 RAM slots and sellers that I spoke to all said the same as well. If you want to overclock, the 4930MX has better potential than the 4940MX and is cheaper as well. If you want to try an Nvidia GPU, why not start with the GTX 980M or M5000M? They have better performance and are widely available and price is quite reasonable. Unless of course you have a GTX 880M available on hand, then there's no point getting another one. The P5200 is good but is a power hungry beast and with that produces a lot of heat when running. Depending on the revisions, Rev A & B is about 100W-115W and C & D can go up to 150W. I know as I still have the P5000 (100W) on my M6800 running and it runs pretty hot! The RTX 3000 might be a better bet as it is cooler (80W) and slightly cheaper and gives you ray tracing and more advance features than the P5200. Though in terms of raw power, it lags behind the P5200 and P5000. I will be swapping to the RTX 3000 soon and just need to find the time to take apart the M6800 to do the swap. I am using a LVDS motherboard and screen and using SG btw.

Can you share the HP original VBIOS for the RTX 3000?

Nice! Keep up the good work!

Thread closed. No longer looking into getting the P5200.

Anyone with one for sale? Hopefully, Rev D with vbios chip installed? I'm trying to upgrade a M6800.
