Anybody update 3DMark for Steel Nomad yet? I cant verify my scores online. I put in a support ticket and waiting to see what the problem is. Its on all my laptops oops, just checked and its working correctly, something got sorted someplace HAHA

Well at that price there wont be a problem even if you use it as a frisbee HAHA LOL

Yes that looks correct, will fit, on the back it might list the vBios

Just my opinion but I wouldn't buy a card that needs to be flashed vBios before seeing it work first. P4000's are dropping in price lately and there are alot that will work just with .inf modding. There are some OC vBios here that increase performance quite nicely. Is this card the right form factor? I don't know what Lenovo has in their machines. Can you provide a pic?

All my Aliens m18xr2 and 2 m17xr4 ran P4000's. Always modded .inf manually and always ran smooth. The added bonus was when I got it running with the 120hz 3D screen in PEG mode (with alot of help from @Jerryzago and others here) But I would like to go further with P5000 if a good price shows up. The other 2 Aliens are running RTX 3000's also very smooth and the m18xr2 had a HP RTX 4000 until I flashed the vBios. I am just saying in case you might look for other options, but the P4000 is and should work great

I ordered from this seller on Ebay GENUINE HP ZBOOK 17 G6 L72236-001 CPU COOLING HEATSINK AND FAN ASSEMBLY TESTED | eBay but that might be his last N19E, other options GENUINE HP ZBOOK 17 G6 L72236-001 CPU COOLING HEATSINK AND FAN ASSEMBLY TESTED | eBay and HP ZBOOK 17 G6 L72236-001 CPU COOLING HEATSINK ASSEMBLY SHIPS QUICKLY | eBay . These are in USA but if you are seeing $350 this would be better option even with shipping tariffs What RTX cards are working in Dell Precision M series? I would like the RTX 3000 but was not able to get it working

Yes you are right , its easy to open and change GPU and Heat sink. I just ordered a N19E heat sink to put in RTX 4000 and I think the T1000 will work in my Precision M6700, just too bad the CPU is BGA. I also am debating selling it if I get it running right, but it is a nice machine.

Is this thread ded? I am about to buy a ZBook 17 G5/G6 really cheap on ebay just to install my HP RTX 4000 and update the vBios and to see if it still works, then maybe put it back in m18x r2 or just leave it in and do some upgrading to it. I am reluctant to open the Alien due to wear and tear when it is running so well. I dont see many HP owners upgrading here but watched videos and its looking good

@Trov, the T2000 was a great find, Installed in my M4700 and is running great. I snipped an X bracket for the nuts instead. Windows tried to install drivers but failed so I modded .inf for 522.22 and 3DMark 3 782 T2000 i7-3740QM 082H3V. Didn't have to remove the MOBO went in with heatsink attached surprisingly. Another Victory for MXM up gradable laptops

Thats pretty amazing for a P4000, my RTX 3000 got 13301 (https://www.3dmark.com/fs/31222747) in my m17x r4. And thats my HIGHEST score! Does this vBios open the Overclocking ability? If it could be OCed it could beat the RTX 3000 I like the vBios version DEAD 00 BEEF, memorable name for vBios. Nice Job

Well the timing couldn't be more perfect, got a P4000 for $150 on eBay and installed perfectly. It has a different vBios 86.04.3A.00.3A than my other one's Version 86.04.51.00.03. I had to order another Ch341a Programmer cause the clip wore out, just will not stay in place. techpowerup lists both vBios , 1 with 0mb memory size and the other with 8mb. Why IDK but both have 8. So this was a complete success for the 120hz screen in the m17x r4. I'd post results but am getting server error on 3DMark

I'm pretty sure you can run Linux straight off the USB drive you burn the ISO image to. It gives an option to do a full install or just run without install. It's like you can go to any computer and plug in and run

Well I just can't leave well enough alone! I flashed the P4000 with "P4000M_OC3 ROM" using Ch341a Programmer and got 8 beeps on the m17xr4 EDP 120hz. So I flashed back the original vBios and got 8 beeps again. The flashing was done as Administrator to override the lock and it seemed to go well. The card reads properly with Ch341a Programmer and looks to be correct but I think not having the factory lock in place causes an issue with the EDP 120hz configuration. So I put the GTX 680m back in and am back to where I started, but I at least know it can be upgraded, I will look for a GTX 1080 for the next time

Yeah @1610ftw Its hitting 153w Here's a recent Firestrike run Just had to update my highest score in the edit

Well Thanks for asking, It is essential to follow Detailed Instructions Precisely! Especially when swapping cards that are known not to work in this specific instance. The "Pure UEFI" setting and disable "Legacy Option ROM" and "Disable Win 8.1 Fast Boot" Disabled were finally all set correctly with the P4000. The other cards I tried may or maynot have had the settings correct after CMOS resets and going back and forth with each card. I had no Idea P4000 would work in PEG, just assumed it was not an option. I did get the GTX 980m to work, but only for about 3 minuets after it started and would give me a black screen. GTX 980m works in PEG and SG but with legacy option rom enabled in EUFI but not with EDP. It was a confusing mess for a while but worth it now the 120hz screen has been upgraded to P4000. I guess it could also go to P5000. I saw on this forum posts of P4000 modded vBios getting some good scores in Time Spy about 500 pts better than my best. I'm very happy about this m17xr4 120hz getting an upgrade. The GTX 680m was too old, Much Thanks to Those on this Forum

So I got the P4000 working with the 120hz 3D screen m17xr4 thanks

I'm obsessed with up-gradable laptops, confusion is just built-in, but the rewards make up for it. Getting an RTX 3000 to work in PEG would be great. I like running the cards in PEG but there are advantages with SG/Optimus for certain applications. And the newer cards (ADA) also give us potential, especially with modding the Bios and vBios. @ssj92 has a keen eye for BIOs mods, we have to keep him in our sights/ this whole forum actually, Tips and Tricks are just a click away HAHA

This was on Win 11. The 3Dmark scores were on Win 10. I am trying to determine the difference between the 2 just for my own clarification. The Clevo has a max fan that must be on otherwise the temps go thru the roof. sometimes i forget and the demos crash, hope I dont melt my laptop LOL

OK! Today I refit the RTX 3080 laptop GPU Clevo P870DM3-G and used a copper plate taken out of an old damaged m18xr2 GPU heatsink and placed it on the 3080 DIE and thermal pasted it to the Vapor chamber double heatsink. could not screw the heatsink to the GPU. 3080 has an offset but the 1mm lift gave the clearance needed to run perfect. The RTX 3080 is amazing here are some scores Fire strike 25 714 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3 Time spy 12 500 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3 Speedway 2 738 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3 Solar bay 59 102 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3 Port royal 7 628 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3 Night raid 53 388 RTX 3080 i9-9900K P870DM2_DM3

Nvidia needs to bring back SLI https://www.3dmark.com/fs/30841604 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/44759799 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/42533113 https://www.3dmark.com/fs/31624435 Imagine 3080 in SLI

"HALLELUJAH" Just got the P4000 working in m17x r4 120hz 3D screen on A14 unlocked BIOs with Pure UEFI Win 8.1 fast start disabled and legacy option ROM disabled. The stock vBios on P4000 after CMOS reset. I also got 8 beeps from GTX 1080 Aetina card, gave up on that after flashing Zotac vBios, dont know why the 1080 wont work, maybe more options to try. I really thought there was no options after the GTX 680m. I wish there was a little machine we could plug our GPU cards in just to check their circuitry for any defects. And its running in PEG mode, I wonder if P4000 can run in PEG on m18xr2 and m17xr4 regular screen in pure UEFI https://www.3dmark.com/spy/47358393 https://www.3dmark.com/wl/388096

Sorry about the disapearing act, but had to make a much needed road trip up into the land of the ice and snow to see family. Power outages, trees falling down, roads were cleared out pretty quick but still had to fire up the wood burning stove my grandson did a good job of that. And that was before the latest one they had this beginning of spring. All in all it was a great trip. As for the GTX 980 it worked for about 3 minuets and gave a blackscreen

P4000 8 Beeps, if I do a cMos reset I won't be able to go into BIOS

Yes I have A11 unlocked bios and always have to do cMos reset whanever I switch GPU. I have 2 m17xr4's, 1 with 1600x900 screen and 1 with 120hz 3D screen. The 1600x900 r4 is pretty much li9ke the m18xr2, they both can run the same GPU's and CPU's and RAM and Drives. All have A11 unlocked BIOS from SVl7 Maybe I should go to the A14 but its locked

I don't know what I am doing wrong, my m17xr4 with 120hz 3d screen doesn't work with anything I put in it GTX 970, 980, 1080, P4000, RTX 3000 and RX 6600 XT
