Jers6410

Really thanks for your suggestions. Temps improved a little bit, allowing the CPU to achieve 4.1 GHz for a bit longer than before but it always triggers PL1.

Ok I tried the -210 setting and it reduced the temps a bit more that's actually great but the PL1 keeps the power limited to 60W after a seconds on full load. Increasing the PL1 limit didn't work, I guess that for this to be achieved a mod to the BIOS may be the solution. If you have another suggestions let me know and will keep trying. I really appreciate for your help!

I installed the the application an set it to Ultra Performance but nothing changed. But after reading this I noticed that Throttlestop shows PL1 and EDP other as limit reasons.

By checking Hwinfo I noticed that the temps are around 88-90 °C so they are kinda high, that must be the problem. Is PTM7950 that good? You can share your experience here please. I found that thermal compound in Aliexpress for 16$ with size 80x80mm and 0.25mm thickness. It comes with all additional tools included and in sealed original Honeywell packaging. Thinking about RTX3000 upgrade which brand of thermal pads do you recommend? And what thickness should I get?

I didn't know that it was possible to disable cores. Is it possible to get some more power from this CPU? 3.7 GHz isn't bad but a bit more will be great. This machine came with a LG model 156WF6 display.

That's a lot info! Thanks! Well, first I would like to focus on undervolting via BIOS, right now I was able to undervolt with throttlestop -168 for the core and -126 for cache, I don't know if the BIOS option will be better you can tell me. With those settings the sustained CPU frequency is 3.7 Ghz in all cores, kinda slow I think. RAM, fans and screen will be a project for the future, but thanks for sharing me that. For the GPU it sounds interesting, maybe we can talk about that, send me a message and we'll see. My goal for the GPU is a RTX 4000 or 3000, for the future of course, but tell me is it worth to get a 4000?

Hi everyone! This topic is for asking some help from you. I'm the owner of a Precision 7530. Here are the specs: -Intel Xeon E-2176M -Heatsink Nv-128 model with Sunon fans -RAM 16x2 Hynix DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 1333.3 Mhz -Wifi/BT card Intel AX200 -Windows 11 The goal? Well like any tech enthusiast get the max from this machine. Here you can give me your recommendations, I'll be really thankful to read your suggestions. Also this machine came with two problems: 1) Bluetooth seems to be blocked by BIOS I read in some forums that in some cases companies ask Dell to block bluetooth for security reasons, so in this machine the option in BIOS is grayed out... Is there any way to unlock that by modding the BIOS or something like that? Also is that even possible? And if so, is there any other benefits from modding? 2) This machine includes a Quadro P1000 physically installed but it is not recognized I already did the necessary maintenance to the machine and checked for any physical damage in the mainboard or the DGFF cable and the three GPU connectors but nothing seems to be broken... My guess is that the GPU is simply dead. Should I test anything else? I'm not an electronics expert so maybe there is something I'm not seeing but what do you think? If you have any hardware upgrade recommendations I'll be happy to read your advices in terms of fans, RAM, GPU or any other. The main purpose for this topic is to know which upgrades can I do to this machine. Thanks for your help. Best regards to everyone!

Hello there everyone! It's been a while since the last post here. I feel really thankful with the people here because without your help I wouldn't have been able to move forward with the upgrade plans for my machine. So this is what I have right now: CPU: Intel Core i7-4910MQ GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P4000 RAM: 16 Gb (8x2) HyperX DDR3L-2133 Display: LG 1920x1080 LVDS Big upgrades where achieved! I also want to share my experience with the Quadro P4000 on this machine... It actually works really well! Is an amazing GPU considering it is a Pascal gen. To make this GPU work on this Precision M6800 a little of hard work was needed... Things to consider: 1. An specific BIOS is needed for this GPU 2. Since this machine came with an AMD GPU in the first place, modding the heatsink was necessary but, if someone else find this useful, it is completely possible. 3. The thermal pads sizes are completely different from the stock ones. With the first point of that list I have to say a big thank you to the people who was able to get the BIOS for this card to work, if someone else wants to try a Quadro P4000 on a Precision M6800 you can find the bios on this link: And of course please say thank as well to the people who managed to get the files. With this post I want to say thanks once again to those people! The second point of that list wasn't so hard as I though, here a share with you some pictures of the heatsink before and after the mod: Before After As you may noticed a cut to the copper part of the the heatsink was needed here (red square) specifically it was an area of 3mm. This was made with the help of a mini rotary tool and some hard work from my brother (thanks man!). The third point of the list was a bit tricky... To get correct size for the thermal pads a little try and failure was necessary, the method I used was to put some thermal paste on the GPU die and then put the the pads that may or may not be the correct for this card and heatsink. After a lot of hard work the correct sizes was something like this: Why this sizes? Well that's because the AMD heatsink seems to be of a different height compared to NVIDIA one... And the GPU die was far taller than my previous FirePro M6100 so this was the sizes that worked for me. If someone else find a better sizes for this kind of project please make the corresponding corrections to this post. The thermal pads you see in the picture are Gelid Ultimate. The temps for this card where actually pretty interesting... HWinfo shows a maximum temp of 65.3 degrees and sometimes I was able to see a 68 degrees temp under high load (after gaming or rendering a video) and a maximum "GPU Hot Spot Temperature" of 76.3 degrees (don't kwon what this value refers to). This are the results after a benchmark: Well this was my experience with this project, I'm really happy with this machine! Almost forgot to mention that the drivers for this card where installed with the help of nvclean install tool with this settings (no need of disabling driver signature verification): I hope that someone find this useful in the future. Best regards to the community!

This is a really useful info! Now you opened up new possibilities for me! I found a P4000 for 280$ listed as P/N 900-6G418-0000-000, I don't have that much money right now but now I'm seriously considering that GPU. Using optimus is not a problem for me but if I get that card and it works without problems the new goal will be updating the mainboard to the eDP version. What do you think? Should I start making savings for the P4000? Flashing the bios will be the only downside for me because I don't have any experience doing so and to be honest it makes me feel a bit nervous... Does the P4000 works without problems? And thanks a lot for this info I'll take your advice!

Can anyone confirm that those pad sizes are correct?

Is this correct for Precision M6800 if I use the modified AMD heatsink?

I need help with something... In a few months I'm planning to buy new thermal pads for this Precision M6800 GPU and CPU. Does anyone know the pads thickness I should get? Gelid solutions 12 W/mK are the ones I want to get.

Ok when the time comes I will check that! Thanks for your help!

That's great! Do you have a picture or something like that to see which part needs to be removed?

Really? If that's so then I can forget to buy the Nvidia heatsink!
