  1. thats another pointer that there is some kind of bottleneck in terms of heat transfer.
  2. so wait, thats a 3060 desktop core planted on an MXM board?
  3. happy to see you found an avenue bud! 🙂
  4. D11 settings you can ignore, those only come in when uve tuned everything else and want to squeeze out the last tiny bit of stability. tuning primary/secondary/tertiary timings is ur best bet to get more performance out of ur sticks.
  5. thats the general problem of the industry: they dont do more with more, but rather stay the same with less. i.e. thinner bezels could mean larger screens in the same form factor or same size screens with a smaller form factor (industry chooses latter).
  6. this really sounds like you have a severe cooling problem my friend... next time you take off the heatsink, be sure and take pictures of what the spread looks like on gpu and cpu as well as the heatsink so we can get an idea of how good your paste job was. in any case, glad to see your laptop has come back to life 🙂
  7. did u follow the extra steps suggested in the other thread u originally posted for proper NVRAM reset? still nothing?
  8. even if you did the cmos and nvram reset successfully, u will need to be patient for the first boot after the rest. it will usually do 1-2 reboots by itself and then take additional several minutes until it actually displays anything. so just to be on the safe side, after the reset, for the first reboot let it sit for at least 5 minutes before doing anything and give it proper time to display an output.
  9. i feel ya, im only considering big tower cases for my upcoming build to make sure ive got enough space for radiators and other bulky stuff (i.e. im also planning to include a small 7-10 inch display for sensor readouts inside the case).
  10. took a few tries but in the end the clamp and cable work! was able to successfully read out and verify the firmware on the cmos chip 🙂 however, the clamp needs to be pressed down onto the chip manually during the whole connection time. and since it only reads/writes at about 116KB/s one full pass takes around 4m42s for 32MB 😅 add to that a verification pass and ure looking at almost 10 minutes manually holding it down for one successful read or write haha 😛 in any case, were back in business!
  11. man this is some weird-a$$ janky form factor... the lengths companies go to break compaibility, just unbelieveable
  12. highly interesting thread! maybe also make a collection of P5200 vbios versions to help the community in this regard 🙂 hope someone can help out here with the missing versions ure looking for!
  13. deeper pockets indeed, were talking medical, R&D, military and other high-stakes critical systems where such an in-place upgrade is pennies compared with their total system costs. such potent customers are the only reason Nvidia and a few board partners like PNY still offer such cards. their initial system purchases were made with the promise of long-term support including available upgrade paths down the line. so as long as these contracts arent fulfilled yet, Nvidia will HAVE to make standard MXM form factor gpus available to those customers. lucky for us, albeit at high pricing and "lottery style" availability on the open market 😛
  14. aw man here i thought you were already long aware of openRGB, its really a life saver! just one little tool and done, no more having to install 10 different softwares in order to tune in the RGB settings u want! 🙂
  15. hm, this is weird. if it was due to a missing microcode update to support the cpu, it wouldnt boot at all, just black screen. im suspecting that there might be an issue with the VRMs not handling initial boot power spikes from the KS properly? try the following: go into the bios submenus and set all wattage and amperage limits you can find to 125W or 90A max. maybe that could help...

    BIOS settings guide?

    you should try and have a look at the NBRchive, (almost) complete backup of NBR 🙂 its available right here in the forums!
  17. whoa whoa hold the horses there 😄 as far as i can see, that person's analysis is solely based on the appearance of the putty after taking off the heatsink. K5 Pro is quite viscuous, not as thin and liquid as regular thermal paste. so pulling off the heatsink would likely cause "micro-tears" that would look exactly like this. also, the other stuff thats being described @not drying out, oily, etc. is exactly what you would want it to do: to NOT dry out, same goes for regular thermal paste 😛 naturally, using such thermal putty comes with the disadvantage of having to clean it off and that might be a PITA if u take the heatsink off regularly.
  18. you could stick to the thermal putty like K5 Pro, that way u dont need to check which thickness u need exactly.
  19. as you said yourself, its a gamble. could work, could end in disaster 🙂
  20. couldnt agree more. lets hope they learned from past mistakes and listen to their community this time around 🙂
  21. haha whats making you risk going insane-ish? 🙂 good to have u back man! hope the vacay was good, mine is up next friday, wooo 😁
  22. haha as mentioned before, if ur upgrade is still a few months off id be able to offer u my 980M including Prema Mod vBios for unlocked / energy efficient / stable performance 😉 but i gotta switch to my planned monster desktop first haha
