    Wait, it makes sense doesn't it? Because Secure Boot is not possible with modified BIOS? I have heavily modified BIOS so that's why it bricked itself? Does anyone have better insight on how Secure Boot works perhaps? And if BIOS modifications affect that? I am starting to think it does 😂

    I am not 100% sure on this one but Secure Boot might be broken with the 3080 for some reason. I tried to play Valorant. That game to my surprise has the most strict anti-cheat rules I have ever seen. You need to have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. Litterally have to modify BIOS settings just to play a goddamn video game. Anyway, I tried enabling Secure Boot it didn't work and resulted in my laptop being responsive and doing some activity (responds to Caps Lock, FN+D works aswell) but having a black screen. When I am home I will investigate this issue further.

    I have an update. It does eventually shut down. I was playing Little Misfortune for maybe 1 hour on Quiet mode. Quiet mode means, fans run at very low (inaudible) speed. CPU ran 100C for the whole time. What happened was the 100C went slowly to GPU, and just spread I guess through the whole computer until it just litterally shut down. Not crash, not restart but shutdown. I can only assume this is a safety mechanism before something overheats badly. I can say, I was suprised how hot the PC had gotten. The whole chassis was litterally on fire xD It took like 30 mins to cool down passively to room temp. So yeah. I have just been recently very annoyed at the stock fan speed profile. It's litterally a jet engine. I need to order some new cooling supplies and put a custom fan profile or something. I don't mind it being loud while gaming. I slap on 100% fan speed on both fans, put on headset and game on. It works for hours, CPU is on 100c but it doesn't shut down or anything like that. I just hate that it sounds like a jet engine while playing a indie game like Little Misfortune or just idle. So I have been punishing it a bit lately haha. But turns out it will shut down eventually if you let it burn without any fans working. It was roughly 60W on CPU and 50W GPU. 110W without fans for an hour is actually not bad.
  4. srs2236
    Try disconnecting it. Maybe there is some custom software to put the fan speeds manually?
  5. srs2236
    Oh okay... Best then to figure out a way to order from TaoBao.
  6. srs2236
    That's also to be expected. No reason for AMD GPU's not to work. Good job!
  7. srs2236
    What if two people buy? like how much for set of 2?

    It is thermal throttling almost all the time. It doesn't really shut down. After maybe 2 days of running it sometimes crashes but thats probably more like some OC or undervolt of mine to blame and not really the temperature. I am not worried about the CPU degrading or dying because of these temps but more worried about the longevity of the motherboard and its components around the CPU when running these types of temperatures. However so far it is perfectly fine. I will maybe in the future do some mods to try and improve the cooling though. Curious about the new fans, need delid IHS, perhaps order the phase changing thermal pad etc. I am 100% sure it will improve my situation. Last time I repasted was once I installed 3080. And Thermal Grizzly likes to lose it's performance over time like crazy.

    I am daily driving it at 99c pretty much nowadays. I don't even care anymore.

    Meanwhile my 9900KS:
  11. srs2236
    Ohhhhhh wait... you have a P775 instead of a P870... oh well...
  12. srs2236
    Good job! You don't need an inf mod because it behaves exactly the same as desktop GPU's do. You only need inf mods for MXM because they work a bit different with the Device ID's and such. (my speculation) Now you just need to figure out a way how to make it hot-plug =D Having an adapter permanently stuck to your PC is kinda shitty. You could use some external connector for the PCI-E lanes and then have a hotswap system for your PC. When in need just plug in couple cables and have an eGPU ready! But this needs some serious consideration. I tried once with 2 HDMI connectors and the latest HDMI cable (HDMI 2.1a) and while it worked it gave me PCI-E corrected WHEA errors like crazy because the wires I used were not the same length. It was for PCI-E 3.0 4x. For 8x you would need 4HDMI connectors xD I think so atleast.

    That sounds like something I need!! Do you have to be registered on taobao to see the link?

    Hi! I think the difference between them is the base BIOS used for them. 0511 being the older one and 0716 being a newer one. Check between stock ones from Clevo if they have these BIOS revision numbers.
  15. srs2236
    The CPU draws more power because it doesn't enter power saving modes. To put simply, the voltage supplied to the CPU doesn't change and is static unless it is throttling or something like that. All of the above means more power draw when idle, some tasks that might have drawn very little power might draw a lot for no particular reason and the CPU on average runs hotter. This can help with stability though. Even when doing heavy undervolting.

    Hi! It is normal behaviour when flashing custom BIOS. After many flashes it is blank for me aswell. I am interested in trying to put them back, so if I ever tinker around and make it work I will let you know! Do you have a backup of your old stock BIOS? If you send me that one it could help me aswell.
  17. srs2236
    My PC shuts itself off if I unplug the power cord xD The battery is only good for sleep mode lol. I am not sure why this is happening but I assumed it could have something to do with the fact that I am running a 9900KS and increased voltage for my RAM to 1.45v. But yeah, my 775 just can't provide enough power from the battery to even keep the damn thing alive.
  18. srs2236
    This is the part that I believe is wrong. I think it must be thicker. Just recheck it.
  19. srs2236
    Yup, according to my measurements the VRMs is indeed wrong.
  20. srs2236
    What did you do? You can download HWInfo to see what PCI-E speeds you are running your SSDs at and many other things about your laptop.
  21. srs2236
    Hello! I definately put thermal paste before putting down the heatsink. I would never put the heatsink down without thermal paste. And I always put a lot of thermal paste. The only thing maybe that could have something to do with it is that I dont spread my thermal paste, so maybe that had something to do with it? But I don't think so.
  22. srs2236
    When did we have official 2x200W configuration and in which laptop? Seems a bit crazy. What kind of cooling solution was it using? And again, 250W + let's say 125W CPU - where will you get heatsink that can effectively get rid of 375W amount of heat? You know what could be a cool experiment? Running a desktop 4090 at TDP limit of 175W and running it against the mobile 4090 and comparing results. But would have to artificially increase the temperature so it is the same as in the laptop otherwise it would not be fair. Then we could see what the true benefit of full 4090 chip in laptop could potentially be.
  23. srs2236
    That's good. And try to use the same configuration that you had at the time of BIOS backup. Same CPU, same RAM etc. So that the BIOS doesn't have to configure itself for new hardware but should post from the get go.
  24. srs2236
    Yeah but how do you pack a 450W card in a laptop that uses a power brick less than that TDP for the whole laptop alone? It is impossible. CPU's don't use that much power on desktops. So you can actually achieve closer performance to desktops in a laptop because of it.

    Hi! I am no expert aswell and I am purely guessing. But if this was my computer I would believe that (altough very odd) the BIOS got corrupted or the NVRAM atleast got corrupted badly. First thing I would do is just reflash the same BIOS chip that is already on there with a backup of previously known good BIOS. I hope you have one. But as you have unlocked your BIOS I assume you must have atleast some sort of BIOS backup. I wouldn't like to think a simple RAM timing change or RAM change would have broken your laptop. God is my witness then my P775TM1-G would be long gone in heaven for the things I have put it through by just extreme trial and error experimenting xD And that includes on the fly RAM timing changes, RAM swaps so many I can't count etc. My best guess is the BIOS. Do a reflash! Also, once you start troubleshooting the BIOS - if you flash the BIOS do a checksum of what you flashed and write it down. Let the laptop boot with the fresh flash if it doesn't post - dump the contents of the BIOS chip and recheck checksum. If the checksum has changed it means the laptop is trying to post and is making changes in the BIOS NVRAM most likely. So not completely dead. A post code card could help perhaps but I am not sure. Good luck and keep us updated! Would be a shame to see it die after all the mods and quality of life improvements 😕
