Lex_Amorph Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hello, mates, I found this card approx $200 cost, used, of course. I don't see additional power slot like in clevo cards. What do you think (or exact know), it's possible to use in m18x r2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerryzago Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I have the same one in my M18x R2. Needs modifications to the heatsink, to the MXM slot and an extra brace to hold it to the motherboard. It sure pays off, since it is better than a 980m SLI and need a lot less power. Also runs a bit colder than the PNY one. Lastly it needs an dell x-bracket because the HP one has short pegs Spoiler Alienware M18x R2 i7 3720qm -> i7 3940XM Dual 7970m -> 980m SLI -> HP Quadro RTX 3000 Alienware 17 R1 4710MQ 880M GTX -> PNY Quadro RTX 3000 HP 8570w i7 3820qm Quadro K2000M HP DV6000 T72000 -> T9500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerryzago Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Allow some time, I will make a full wright up with pictures. It is a DIY job but it needs extensive mods to the heatsink. I got another one so I kept my original one.

Lex_Amorph Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 It can be real super, great thank you. Cause it's my first m18x r2 and I haven't yet serious practical experience in hardware modding. Just in monday I have one intermediate exerience with msi gtx 1070 with left custom cutted nv100w heatsink for "ear" place (it's give me possibility also check idea with one card in left mxm slot and plastic imitation detail in right slot) and also change my 3630 cpu to 3940xm with three pipes heatsink, so it can be interesting and very "funny".
