The CPU uses lanes—16 directly in the case of the 9900KS variant! Newer models use more. Additionally, the chipset generates even more lanes. This depends on the DMI speed. As mentioned, newer chipsets offer more lanes. The P870xx uses the same number of lanes for almost all model variants. In my opinion, the P870xx has enough lanes 🙂

Hi, I think only later Intel chipsets, starting around the 700–900 series, support more than 16 lanes!!! The older Z370 and earlier models only support 16 lanes. A manufacturer like Clevo could have included automatic detection, but they didn’t. In any case, my board supports the full 16 lanes...which is probably what most people here want 🙂

In the picture, you can see how the two ports are configured. These ports transmit the DisplayPort signal from the desktop graphics cards to the internal display and an external DisplayPort! Unfortunately, this was the only signal configuration possible because the MXM board could only handle that much! With the cables connecting the desktop graphics card to my board, full integration of the desktop graphics card into the P870xx series is possible!!!

For example, I use an Nvidia A400 at work. You could install that as well. Or Intel Arc cards. Depending on the available power, you can install many different cards. So all the major manufacturers—Nvidia, AMD, or Intel... The power target shouldn't be too high. Over 500W. But I think it’s clear to everyone that 500W is excessive for a laptop! 300–400W is more than enough to outperform today’s latest gaming laptops 🙂

That's right—that's how it's all set up. This allows you to use the laptop's existing cables, so you don't have to worry about that.... It might be hard to see from above, but there are two rows. That means, depending on the GPU's performance level, you can connect two cables and utilize the full GPU power of the P870xx—up to 450W!

No, these are just the latest parts and versions! I'm still working on the cables, etc.

My latest boards for second CPU control for all P870xx models!

My newest sets: MXM- and Powerboard

Since I do everything myself and currently have less time, everything is taking a little longer. I would like to have the cables ready by the end of the month. Everything else is still in progress. As I said, I'm not a big company with a huge budget. I develop as I have money and time.

Yes, I developed everything with my CAD programs! It's not all finished yet, but yes, that's how I develop!

I would say I'm taking it step by step! Right now, I'm developing the cables with Flex-PCB!

Take a look at the pictures to see what the RTX5070Ti desktop looks like in the P870xx. Then you'll know that my solution of using two different graphics cards, MXM and a normal desktop card, won't work!!!! It's either one or the other!!!

However, the standard MXM specification is acceptable, but the Clevo format is not compatible. Only other manufacturers are compatible, but the question then arises as to how compatible the pins are with the motherboard.

No GTX1080 from Clevo will fit in there. That said, I would recommend the RTX3070 or something similar! Unfortunately, there is so little space that only other manufacturers are using new graphics chips! I don't have any good ideas yet...

I'll let you know when I'm ready! :-) Well, you can't do much with that...
