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.

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?

That’s a great machine you got there. It was one of my dream machines. I have a few of its “cousin” - HP Pavilion HDX9000. For overclocking have you tried ThrottleStop? Version 6.00 should work. Here’s another great video about it:

From the exploded view it seems that they’ve cut the flat connectors from 3 to 2, maybe that’s the reason for the lane reduction.

I think that I have these, if you are still interested.

Price: €95 Condition: Used Warranty: None Reason for sale: Not compatible with my machine. Payment: PayPal Item location: Bulgaria, Sofia Shipping: Free to EU International shipping: Might consider, PM for price. Handling time: 2 business days Feedback: Bought and sold a few items around here. Specification: This is a standard MXM-A GPU pulled out of HP ZBook 15 G4 (so it would work fine with it). I got it for a project, but it DOESN'T support LVDS, so it's of no use for me. It was tested in DELL Precision 7510 with Optimus ENABLED (it won't work otherwise in this machine).

So, it works with reduced channel width (the 30pin)?

It’s for a machine I’m yet to do a mod for. That’s why I’m looking for “this must work”, rather than “this should work”. (I know that with MXM there’s no such thing as “must” until you try it, but at least to be as sure as possible) Whatever info I found about M2200 suggests Optimus is a must. M2000m was less explored (at least I didn’t found much about it), so I decided to give it a shot as well. M5000m/GTX 980m do work with LVDS, that’s why I find it strange that the smaller siblings don’t. EDIT: As for the HP black/whitelist it is hit or miss, 8570w was confirmed working with quite a few GPUs, but most newer ones require DreamColor display to work.

Today I’ve tested M2000m out of Precision 7510 - no luck. The backlight came on, but I guess that doesn’t mean much as the control for it might be the same between LVDS and eDP. No picture. So far it seems that the answer to my question is - DELL K2100m. Still researching that GTX 965m. So far it seems like it is a custom board, as I can’t find which Clevo it came from. Either they (GTX 965m) are soldered or MXM-B, no MXM-A.

If you ask me, you need to find a 40 pin eDP screen’s schematics. As you can see from the DC cable all of the DP related wires are there. Maybe that’s the issue.

That’s a bit hardcore. First I have to see how the cooling would handle the increased load.

Conveniently I have one 🙂 😆 I’ll try the first one before going all in. Thank you for the guidance!

Yes, the plug has resistor inside, otherwise the system refuses to recognize the Omen 350W. Also yes, 230W is the max stock PSU, which is not bad but both other options run a bit better and obviously have more room for experimentation. Sadly it's a long route around the motherboard and I'm not too keen on doing it. That's why I was wondering about two PSUs. Even though it's a thick trace/pin it's not a barrel connector. We'll have to see if I mod it successfully. Yeah, or the P5200 with the 16GB RAM, that would've carried out the system into another couple of years. It's just that the first gen i7 was HOT even compared to the QX9300. I think that's the reason 8760w/8770w received different cooler. We'll see 🙂 Dream spec indeed, although seeing the return of 16:10 I'm dreaming about a new machine - that ZBook Fury G1i 18 is rather tempting, but the price is prohibitive for now. MANY THANKS! That's a shunt modding, yes? Other than liquid metal, what should I put on it? Solder a thick wire, or a copper plate? First time doing it, so no idea what should I do.

Clevo, 8GB, non G-Sync, Prema BIOS. Runs rock solid, but it is slower than the 1070, so I wanted to make it equal on the expense of power and heat. The system seems strong enough for something like 250~260W, the cooling is the one holding it back and I’m making a new, hopefully better one. Seems like it. Maybe I’ll leave it at that, if I can’t find more elegant solution than the wires to the MXM slot.

A quick rundown: QX9300 is compatible - stock CPU was T6400 X9100 is compatible - same as above DELL K2100m is compatible - stock GPU was GT 240m 8GB RAM is compatible, I guess no surprises there, have to put 2x 8GB to really push the system The downside - NO overclocking for the extreme CPUs. The stock cooling can't handle it. ThrottleStop WORKS, but temperatures rise quickly. Maybe if one swaps the fan with the one from MSI GT627 (Dremeling is a must), situation might improve.

Recently I got a new i7-920XM and a GTX 980m. The CPU because the old 920XM degraded and I had to pull back the clocks and the GPU because I couldn't manage to run the DreamColor with the GTX 1070. Now all is fine (or so I thought), because I finally have picture on the internal screen. The thing is - before, I dialed back the CPU and the 1070 was limited to 90W, so the performance was pretty good and never passed 195W (from the wall). Now - the CPU can do ~107W @3.5GHz (~145W from the wall) and the GPU ~115W @stock. These are values on their own. However if I want to push them together, they top @213W from the wall. I tried the Omen 350W (with custom made power plug) and the Slimq 330W with all 3 power plugs (two 330W and one 240W (the lowest performance ~195W from the wall)). The laptop has over current protection, but I thought that it would kick later/higher. So, the question is, other than running thick wires from the socket to the MXM slot (I don't want it since I'm using a docking station and it pulls juice from the docking connector), is there anything else I can do? I doubt that running two PSUs (one through the docking, one through the laptop) would improve the situation (Or would it? Is it safe?). I can supply schematics if needed. One last push for the old fella? Thank you! UPDATE: Read below for the guide!

After searching quite a bit I couldn’t find definitive answer to this question. From my personal testing DELL K2100m runs fine on couple of old machines - Acer 7738G (HD+ LVDS) and HP 8570w (FHD LVDS). HP M2200 and (I’m guessing) DELL M1200 are no-go on either machine. The remaining options (which I am yet to buy) are M2000M and GTX 965m. I wasn’t able to find much about the M2000M. As for the GTX 965m someone upgraded a 8570w and mentions UEFI Native as a requirement, no mention about the display. I also asked the seller of the GTX 965m and he said UEFI and eDP are obligatory. I find it odd since the GTX 980m runs fine on older machines without UEFI and with LVDS screens, but yeah it’s different GPU with different vBIOS. I need it for a project and I want the most performance out of a 50W GPU. Thanks! EDIT: Haven’t explored much the AMDs as there’s even less info about them. Suggestions are welcome however.

I don’t know the colors of yours, but most likely red/black/white, yellow is usually for Tach.

You leave the tacho for the main fan. The second needs three wires to run according to the main fan.
