UPDATE 10 (What a number!!): -Installed an i7 4980HQ and (sadly) removed 2 sticks of RAM, now it is 16 GB in total

I've tried that, it didn't work, managed to get my hands on one of those screwdrivers, everything is flawless now, i7 4980HQ mutant is now installed, one missing pin didn't really do anything bad, from what I see.

It is either a dying CPU or it is not seated properly, I don't have that tiny awful Torx screwdriver to check right now..

My M4800 doesn't want to boot when RAM sticks are inserted into B and C slots, I am so exhausted. This happened after the CPU repaste.

Try this, I hope it works out for you, I can try to send some Techpowerup ones but I am not sure if it will work properly DELL_AMD_Radeon_Pro_WX4150_updGOP.rom

I'll search around slav forums to see if there is any other VBIOS

Okay then, maybe I'll do it one day, I just don't want to touch Linux, ever, I've had enough

Can you provide the ROM/flash files? I can do it right now, I made a quick access for my BIOS + ME chips in the laptop's frame so I can do it fast with my CH341A v1.7

Uh, I never really saw any 1050 Ti vBIOSes, maybe you can find some on TechPowerUp database? I am going to look for some in my free time.

Coreboot? On M4800? Jeez.. I didn't think that it can be done

I don't know how that will work, but if I were you - I would use Hiren's Boot CD on a flash drive to flash the VBIOS

At this point I am sure you know how to use ATIFlash and you have backups. From what I can tell - this VBIOS is unlocked for overclocking, I have updated GOP just in case, I hope it works out nicely Baffin_mod.rom Baffin_mod_updGOP.rom

I looked through - I guess it will be better if I find a VBIOS myself, I know russian

Yep, sadly, I guess Google Translate is an option

I think someone on 4PDA forum was modding it some time ago, look for M4800 thread there.

I also looked at Quadro RTX 3000 pictures and I don't think that it actually protrudes that much on the sides. Some heatsink parts need small cuts (I guess eSATA port will need to be cut/removed too) . Still, I need to get one first just to be sure. And even so - 80W is just extreme, I don't feel comfortable about it lol

Sadly it is still locked, that's a thing with those modern quadros, I tried to flash all kinds of VBIOS-es, desktop 1650-s, mobile 1650-s. It always fails, even with modified nvflash utility. I will probably try to do it again when I do something with it when I fiddle around with the heatsink, but with external programmer.

Does anyone have a Quadro T1000 from Adlinktech here? I've been screwing around with mine at night and found a VBIOS on TechPowerUp database that improved my temps without a performance sacrifice. I changed my MSI Afterburner OSD configuration yesterday and noticed this: LIM1 is a stat that shows what limits the GPU (POWER,TEMP, NO LOAD) and in my case it NEVER changed, GPU Power was on 3.5W too. I knew it was something with VBIOS, but when I tried to flash some 1650 VBIOSes - it didn't work, even with nvflashk/omgvflash. But then I tried to flash the sketchiest out of all T1000 VBIOSes - one that had "0 MB VRAM" identified on TechPowerUp. And would you look at that: Now temps aren't going higher than 73 degrees, even in stress tests, yay! Here is the link for VBIOS: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/239942/239942 Flash using nvflashk: https://github.com/notfromstatefarm/nvflashk How to flash it:

Stay safe, brother, I wish I could help in this situation..

Oh my god, how I didn't notice this before, it is gorgeous!! 🥰

nvm, .NET 5.0 just decided to die, I fixed it lol

I have installed a newer version of .NET and now I get this message.

Damn.. imagine having your own supply of MXM GPUs 🤧

Damn, I need your dedication to finish up the work on my laptop. Well, the biggest issue will be the heatsink I think. Best way to do anything about it will probably be a CNC machine.

Let's gooooooooo
