Thank you! You don’t need all the switches, I’ve done it mostly for fun. You may want one of them though - PWM cut - when it’s disconnected it sets the fans at full blast, when it’s connected the laptop is controlling them. Or no switches at all - whatever the laptop’s fan table says, or if the HWinfo’s fan control works (it does on 8740w) you can control them manually from there, so the PWM is a bit pointless, but no so much if you don’t want additional programs running. For the no switches - you only need Tach connected to one fan, everything else (Power, Ground, PWM) is split between the two. In any case I would love to see what you are going to come up with.

I have two versions. One drives the Acer fans, the other drives the ZBook fans. Both are wired the same - Juice, Ground and PWM come from the same source, while Tach is only linked to one fan and everything is fine. For the ZBook fans (5V) everything comes from the stock connector and it’s been like that for quite some time with no issues. Acer fans (12V) require some extra circuitry since there’s no direct 12V output. BTW they (Acer’s fans) consume about 15W alone at full tilt. EDIT: Here’s the wiring of the ZBook fans: https://imgur.com/gallery/8L0QhNk

Will do, once I put it in a laptop format, so everything is fair and square. I’m estimating 20 to 30*C difference so far. Exact measurements would be next month.

I’ve made a cooling that, at least by initial testing, can cool the extra Watts 🙂
-
It does 🙂 It does indeed 🙂

This is work in progress, but so far I’m happy with the results 😄 The heatsink: https://imgur.com/a/v2gq5dB The fans and their electronics: https://imgur.com/a/mr88Xgn That’s it for now.

- 8740w overclock
- 8740w cooling

I never noticed it. Thanks for the tip!
-
Thanks! I was looking at the verified ones and they were all DELL. How do you look at unverified vBIOSes?

As the title says - looking for an 8740w US NON-backlit keyboard. OR I want to swap a used US backlit keyboard (pretty good condition, I have two, this one is less used, almost as new) for a NON-backlit one, straight swap no additional payment. You send me yours, once received I’ll send mine. Where’s the catch? Recently I’ve added a second fan in place of the DVD/BD drive and the backlit keyboard is not perforated in this area, where the non-backlit is, so the second fan can breathe. EDIT: Here are couple of photos of the keyboard, as well as comparison with the non-backlit one (it’s a Nordic one). https://imgur.com/a/r9JI1YY

I did a shunt mod, so yeah I hope that this heatsink would help to keep overclocked temps in check.
-
Here’s what I did. Once again - Thank you guys! https://imgur.com/a/v2gq5dB I’m yet to test it how effective it is since I’m still working on the electrical part of it. Once I’m done I’ll post a separate topic.

As the title says, looking for a vBIOS dump of one of these GPUs. Thank you very much!

Dreamcolor Display from HP ZBook 17 G2 into 8760w?
triturbo replied to loopster's topic in Components & Upgrades
As far as I know the display connector is different. Other than that it should work. -
HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
triturbo replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Hey there! Would it be possible for you to make a dump of the ColorBoard’s BIOS, or whatever that chip with the blue dot is? I know that it is quite the hassle, but considering that these boards are unobtainable and there is quite possibly no one else on earth both having the board and capable of dumping the firmware, here’s me asking for your help. Thank you! -
Sorry, I don’t think that I can help.
-
Try nVIDIA Inspector.
-
Have you tried to bump the voltage?
-
Couldn’t find the same nearby and already wasted an hour trying to desolder it with heatgun or the soldering iron with no success, so I was like what the heck. No. It was there for a few years driving the external monitor, hence the desktop setup. Should be something like this, but still working on it.
-
Thanks! I will! Well, it’s in desktop mode, so to say. Haven’t put it together since the 1070 was installed. Now I’m working on making it a laptop again. Here are a couple of pictures and a bonus one of how I “desoldered” the resistor. https://imgur.com/a/bKX9tSW

SUCCESS!!! I can now run well above this limit, spiking at about 300W in Shadow of The Tomb Raider. Got 5~6FPS more @1600p (35FPS avg.) and overall much smoother experience. First section of the benchmark is ~245W from the wall, second ~260W and third ~270W. The 920XM is @3.5GHz 110W all core (up from 2GHz stock) and the 980m is @1263/2885MHz (1038/2505MHz stock) +50mV pulling 160~170W. Now I have to do a proper cooling to match this thing's capabilities. No pictures of the mod at the moment because I was TOO excited to see what happens and forgot. It's basically what everyone does - stack one resistor on top of the other. I used the same resistor. I'm more than happy at the moment. HUGE THANKS to everyone and specially to @JadeRover!

PM me a price if you don’t like this one.

Precision 7510/7520 Owners Thread
triturbo replied to M4980's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Not sure if anyone got this, but after disassembly (and reassembly) the touchpad and the point stick stopped working, the keyboard was fine. They connect with the same ribbon cable, so it most likely wasn’t it. What turned out to be was this setting in the BIOS. After hitting “Apply” everything was fine.
-
I’m pretty sure that both use the same display connector. Why? Because both were fitted in the Dragon. Just to be sure you can compare the schematics: N201J4-L01 - WUXGA LP201WE1-TLA1 - WSXGA+ I’m keeping an eye on this.
-
Yeah, it is half way between DELL M2010 and Acer 9920 and I think a better laptop than both. You got a nice config! What made you sell it? On another note I think that you can upgrade the M2010 with this display, BUT they are unobtainable! Have you considered the MSI GT80? I’m not sure about the display connection though. Waiting to see how this will work out.
-
Do you know more about it?
