  1. Here are some pictures with the vBIOS chip. Don’t mind the thermal stuff, still testing it as per request.
  2. No idea about the “Ray tracing”. I saw it but I haven’t tested it.
  3. https://imgur.com/8eOKQjr https://imgur.com/iGKBxFZ On external - yes.
  4. The last couple of pictures are with it soldered. It runs as it ran while testing it, so everything is fine. How it is going to work for you is another story. It seems that I’m the only one to try it on mine and you’ll be the first one to try it on yours, if you decide to do so.
  5. Correct. Also correct - removed it from the socket, soldered it and then tested it again just to be sure. Will do.
  6. I’ll take a picture tomorrow. Mine has partial UEFI support. I’ve installed it like that to see what happens.
  7. Yes, it has vBIOS chip installed. The wires and the socket were for testing purposes. I’m not very familiar with dual GPU machines, but I’ve seen someone running the second one as a renderer. Don’t take it for granted though. It was tested on W10 legacy (non UEFI) and works, so there’s that.
  8. First post updated. Can't seem to find how to insert pictures anymore.
  9. I have this GPU for quite a while. Past three years it was lightly used - no gaming whatsoever, only to light-up the display and even this was a rare occurrence. It was never overclocked, but I do have the additional 3 MOSFETs NOT soldered though, since I never made it to light-up the DreamColor with drivers installed which was the push-off. If anyone is interested, I can ask a repair shop to solder them.
  10. What the title says. Preferably from EU. Thanks.
  11. You’ll be fine. I think that @MiRaGe was running the same modules, or something like that.
  12. The music, the car, the setting, the editing, everything. Here are a few more:
  13. There are 3 types of wick inside the pipes - grooved, meshed and sintered. The third one works best (works upside-down as well) and you can find such on the market, but you have to go through a lot of listings to find them. Have you found suitable ones? Long time ago the only available were 50x50x3mm - not really suitable as they are pretty thick and it will be difficult to mount them as there were no screw holes. I thought that it's more like 100W and that depends on the vBIOS and like the Pxxxx series they lack vBIOS chip. Have you sourced the vBIOS and the chip?
  14. You can find various length and diameter heatpipes on AliExpress. Then you’ll need pipe bending tool and then you’ll need to flatten them with a big metal pipe or something like that. Then there’s a low temperature solder paste to solder the whole thing. Good luck!
  15. Good luck with the RTX GPU, looking forward to it. I think that combined CPU and GPU pipes would do better ONLY if it’s taken into account the total power consumption and then some. Shared/combined heatsinks get bad reputation because most of the times they are calculated for less than that. In your case you can distribute the heat from the CPU to the optical bay where you can put a big fan and a big radiator. Then again if you don’t plan on overclocking you might split them and the CPU could use the stock CPU and GPU radiators, while the GPU could take advantage of the entire optical bay. That’s my take on the cooling.
  16. Glad to see you around 🙂 I’ll give it some time, since I do want 920XM, we’ll see how it would go. Sadly Pascal so far is still a no-go. I do have a few more things to try, since I was a bit off past couple of years.
  17. Looking for a SLBLW 920XM, preferably located in Europe. Hit me an offer. Thanks!
  18. The free version of Lightworks outputs 720p only, so I'm not sure whether or not you are going to like it. And then, there's this: In any case looking forward to your video.
  19. It’s probably me, but I can’t find the zip file with the vBIOSes. I don’t know the reason behind the lack of fan control but I’m relying on custom made external solution and it works great.
  20. You might source eDP parts from DELL M6600. I think it has the same connector and the cable might be of use. I say might, because I think that it has color board which would make the cable shorter and the output might be custom (i.e. not eDP display standard). You have to double check that with multimeter and the schematics in hand. Good luck!
  21. That's nice, but how do you made it to run the BIOS chip, since I know these require some modding, or it came like that? I have a D revision myself and I'm contemplating on modding it and make it run in my machine. Which one works best, or all of them? So it works with the DreamColor, that's good to know. Some nice mods. Which DAC you have used, does it has ESS Sabre in there? I made a mod of external sound card using eGPU stuff and Creative SondBlaster AE-9 which was working, but then fried it during additional modding. I'm not sure I want to go that way again. It was awesome, but also made my laptop a desktop, so I'm looking for something more integrated. I'm using Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio notebook now, but I have other plans for the ExpressCard, so that's why I'm looking at the options. Yes, the stock speakers are terrible. I'm planing on modding them as well. Good luck with these!
