    If they did exist, I'd have one right now lol. I have searched and searched, PCWinMax does not make any HM87 or QM87 boards. The only Socket G3 boards I have found are really expensive boards with either no PCIE or with no normal cooler mounting holes. I believe the PCWinMax boards use LGA 115x mounting holes.

    Yeah, boards like those are just weird and risky, no IHS with a mobile CPU + a desktop cooler is a recipe for disaster, especially when the CPU is soldered on lol. Though, I want to get one of those PCWinMax HM55 or HM77 boards to put socketed mobile CPUs in. It would be a good way to get a bunch of points for the team on HWBot 😉

    I wouldn't really say 50, this CPU is chugging around 65-70 watts. I can probably undervolt more, but I wanted to be safe.

    Thanks 😉

    Yeah, I saw that video thinking it was it and it wasn't. I found what I was looking for, my memory was wrong as it wasn't a video, but a thread you made on the old forums. I've been adjusting stuff. I'm running strong at 3.5 all cores, but the highest I could get in CBR15 was 730, like my previous record. The BIOS is a bit weird. I'm trying to get the BCLK as high as possible, but the highest I've been able to set it was 102.05 (which results to 101.87 in OS). If I go to 102.10 the system just freezes, so I think I need to increase the voltage in the BIOS, but I cannot figure out how. I've tried adjusting the "Core Extra Turbo Voltage" and "Core Voltage Offset," but those don't do anything in the OS. Only way I can adjust voltage is by using Throttlestop. Maybe @Papusancan help me 🙂 I'm going to try to hit 731, or anything higher. After I hit the limit of what I can do, I'll adjust the BIOS so I can fully unlock the 4710mq. I don't plan on submitting any of the fully unlocked runs to HWBOT as it doesn't feel legit. I've realized that I enjoy pushing these "locked" CPUs because everyone is basically on the same playing field, it's just "who can optimize the most" instead of say, a desktop processor where it's "who can brute force the most"

    @Mr. FoxI'm installing and updating Win7 right now on my Alienware, but I had to reset the BIOS (it's a long story.) Unless I am wrong, and I might be, I remember you making a video of a BIOS walkthrough on one of your Alienware 18's for the 4930mx, and I'm pretty sure I used that video a long time ago to adjust my BIOS. I can't find the video anymore, did it ever exist in the first place? If so, do you know where it went?

    Hahahaha, included the 51m on my paper to show how mainstream manufactures have failed to deliver on a "truly upgradeable" performance laptop. I'll be honest, my paper bashed Dell/Alienware a lot, but its deserved as a lot of their problems fit into my topic well.

    I appologize for asking here, as I don’t think this particular question is worthy of it’s own thread, but I know the people here may be able to guide me in the right direction. I’m writing a paper on why the use of soldered components has ruined laptops, and I’m trying to find a source I can use to show when the MXM standard was discontinued by Nvidia. Myself and everyone else here knows that it was basically discontinued by Nvidia by the time Pascal GPUs launched, but I cannot find anything in regards to the Nvidia abandoning the standard. Any of you know where I could look or find information?

    I can ship internationally, but if you are willing to pay for shipping.
  10. Tenoroon
    I can include the heatsinks if needed for a small cost.
  11. Tenoroon
    Ordered a bracket for the 860m I have so I can use my Ranger again. The 860m will allow me to install Win7, and hopefully achieve higher scores in CPU benchmarks. My goal will be 740 for CBR15. I might do some overclocking on the 860m as I have the overkill 5 pipe heatsink. Last time I used the 860m, the bracket was super uneven and the hottest the core would get was the mid 40's, I've got a lot of headroom 😉

    Price: $160 USD OBO Condition: Decent Warranty: None Reason for sale: Don't need Payment: Paypal or Venmo Item location: Nashville, TN Shipping: UPS, Shipping included in price International shipping: No Handling time: Ships within 1-3 days Feedback: eBay Profile Specification: Combo Includes: MSI GT72VR Motherboard (i7 6700hq) Various daughterboards Ribbon Cables This motherboard is in alright condition, it works perfectly find, but is a bit dusty. The 4th RAM DIMM doesn't have a left retention pin, but the slot still works and can properly hold a RAM stick. The CPU is also a bit scratched, but this is just cosmetic and the CPU works great. Motherboard was tested in April of last year and today, I only have pictures of it working in April, but I can assure that the board works. I can sell the daughterboards and ribbon cables individually upon request. I also have the heatsinks and fans, but don't intend to sell them unless someone here needs them. (I apologize for my sub-par handwriting) Proof of ownership: Time Stamped pictures

    I was just watching this video as I was curious about the cooling on the M1 Ultra, but my god, Apple couldn't even solder the damn heat pipes to the fins 😠. This guy is also kind of annoying, but that's besides the point.
  14. Tenoroon
    It's probably also the die size, keep in mind that they are stacking cache on top of the cores (and maybe the I/O die? I'm not there yet in understanding how different parts of the CPU interact) There is more mass that the heat has to travel through to be removed from the chip.
  15. Tenoroon
    Hey @Papusan, how much OC headroom do you have with your 9900k in your P870? I found a good deal on a 9900k near me, but am mostly worried about the VRM as the 9900k is a very power hungry chip. Temps won't be a big deal as I have a source for a hybrid CPU heatsink.

    I managed to get it to run at 4.7 inside my house, so I went outside and couldn't recreate it for some reason. In fact, it was worse than last night. I would set the CPU at a static 1.375 volts in the BIOS, it would fluctuate between 1.43-1.5, and it EDP throttled the whole time, even if I put the speeds to 3ghz. Residency problems still happened, and when I would run Cinebench R15 it would throttle to 2.7ghz. I seem to be doing something wrong but I cannot figure it out. Is the voltage too high? Are my TS settings still bad? Is the CPU too cold? I just can't get this thing to run how I want it, and I'm really starting to understand why you guys despise these laptops without Prema firmware. I mean no hate towards Dsanke, but jeez this BIOS is just, chaos. There's copies of settings and menu's everywhere, and some settings don't even work right as its just a backported P870TM BIOS. I appreciate all of your help though, I really want this thing to not suck. Here's my TS settings right before I gave up if anyone is able to help me:
  17. Tenoroon
    I couldn't push past 4.5ghz. I had it set as 4.7 in BIOS, had the voltage up in BIOS and everything seemed good, but TS just didn't want to up it. I probably just have TS configured wrong, but here's my final score. I was aiming for 1k, but I couldn't hit it sadly 😞
  18. Tenoroon
    I'm using the Dsanke BIOS right now, I've been trying everything, but I'm not going inside until I fix this.
  19. Tenoroon
    Did both and I still have the residency problem...
  20. Tenoroon
    Tried to do some OCing on my 6700k as its 30F outside right now and I had some time to spend. I couldn't get the damn CPU to run faster than 4.1ghz because of some kind of throttling called RESIDENCY in Throttlestop. I was running the CPU at 1.45 volts with C-states both on and off with the ICC Max at 256. I'm still kind of a noob at this stuff, but I can't find anything on what RESIDENCY means in TS, does anyone here know?

    Haven't listened to the particular song or album it came from, but I do enjoy a bit of Voyage Futur's stuff. Inner Sphere was really good when I listened to it on a road trip about a year ago and Virtual Moonlight was pretty good when I listened to it a few weeks back.
  22. Tenoroon
    Well there's many things that could be wrong, but the most likely suspect would probably be 1 or many VRAM chips. If there are many dead/dying VRAM chips, then the source problem could be either a dead memory controller on the core, or the power rail for the VRAM is dying/dead. If it is just 1 VRAM chip that is giving you problems, then the fix is most likely going to be replacing the memory chip, but could also be replacing a dead resistor that is near the "failing" memory chip.

    If the 980m manages to pass the MATS test, there is a more in depth test called MODS. There are tutorials online that I don't have time to find right now, but are really helpful as MODS is very confusing to use. Watch this video and see if it truly is a VRAM issue. If you don't mind, send the log from MATS after you run the test and we can go from there.
  24. Tenoroon
    Don't reflow, like ever. First thing you should do is take a multimeter to the card and check resistances on all of the main power rails.
  25. Tenoroon
    I appreciate the in depth analysis 🙂 Its the Clevo 980m from my P870DM-G, it has the G-Sync vBIOS which may limit compatibility but oh well. My goal is to list and sell it for $180, but fees will make that closer to around $150. I've ran some benchmarks and everything is fine about it, I plan on keeping it in here until I need to ship it out.
