Clevo P570WM MXM upgradability forum

I previously purchased a modified heatsink (for 150W) for the P570WM, and also purchased a cable for modifying the display, but I'm waiting for it to arrive.

 

I'm also considering purchasing an RTX4090 from X-vision along with this. However, I came across a post on another forum mentioning a problem with the VBIOS.

 

Is it still impossible to use the MXM card in the X-vision model without rewriting the VBIOS?

 

The laptop I'm using is a P570WM eDP type.

 

Other shops I am considering buying from are ZRT or ENBIK, but I don't know if they are available for individual purchase.

You can use X-VSION 4090 but with EDID OVERRIDE. You'll lose 2/3 of the external output because of the VBIOS display tables. Which is very annoying. ZRT have better display tables and working eDP.

 

Purchase the good 4090. Please message ZRT by contacting leidongting from ZRT thru email or thru Blibli. You can also get the Enbik one too (same as ZRT). If you could do that, can you extract the VBIOS? Thanks.

There seems to be a store called peladn, but they don't carry the RTX 4080 or 4090. They do carry the 4050-4070, but they seem to only carry half-size MXM cards. The heatsink I purchased doesn't seem to be compatible.

 

First of all, we will try to make it possible to purchase from ZRT or ENBIK.

Peladn they have nothing in stock anyway. The RTX 4050 to 4070 are using the same VBIOS as ZRT and X-VSION which are working great for DP/DP/HDMI/eDP(enabled)!

 

Only ZRT and Enbik have good working 4080 and 4090 with DP/DP/HDMI/eDP(enabled)

X-VSION has DP/HDMI/HDMI/eDP(disabled) for their 4080 and 4090.

 

Yes the heatsink was made for RTX 3060/3060/3080/A4500/4080/4090 MXM cards with offset center cores

I have unfortunate news. I received a reply from ZRT.

It appears that ZRT does not sell to individual customers.

I sent a quote directly to ZRT, but received no reply, so I contacted them through a website called directindustry. The reply I received from there said that they cannot assist with individual projects.

 

The only other option is ENBIK, which is unlikely.

If you are using directindustry, please go ahead and use it.

Hello, thanks for the update. They don't want to sell one as a sample to buy? And, Did Enbik reply to you?

[Tetsu]

So far, there has been no response from ENBIK.

Hello. Same they didn't reply to me. And so ZRT, so nothing new on my end.

 

You said ZRT replied to you? Can't you buy one card? It's possible to buy one, their buying process is like XVSION, it's either PayPal or bank transfer. I don't recommend X-VSION 4080/4090 due to the VBIOS as the display tables aren't good and eDP is set to disabled.

Good morning.

When I go to the ZRT homepage, there is a product (RTX4090) page, but it only has buttons to download the datasheet and drivers, and no purchase button.

As I said before and on eBay's message, you need to contact them for purchase. Please check eBay's DM for their contact info

Good morning.

Another option would be to use a purchasing or import agency.

However, fees will be added on, and since the product is expensive, the fees will be quite high.

The ZRT 4090 was priced at 300,000 yen (Japanese yen) on the Chinese sales site 1688.com.

There is also a non-ZRT 4090, which cost 690 yuan, or about japan yen 15,000 yen. However, I don't know the manufacturer, so I don't know if it will work.

 

It's a bit hard to read, but I've pasted the URL here:

Hello. Get ZRT because of the good VBIOS and yes it's indeed between 1400 to 1600€ for one. X-VSION is like 1200€ after taxes

 

The one you saw for dirt cheap is probably a fake listing!!

[Tetsu]

If I was able to purchase it from ZRT, would you be able to make the VBIOS public?

If you could make it public, I'd like to purchase it from X-Vsion and rewrite the VBIOS.

Ah, there's a good chance the display won't work. In that case, rewriting the VBIOS won't be easy.

 

I'm currently trying to get a quote from an agent, but the price is so high at this stage that I can't make up my mind to buy it😭

Yes you could. You need to buy the GPU then insert the GPU in the laptop on the second slot as slave, install the same drivers as your master.

 

Then use GPU-Z and extract the VBIOS to online. Give us the download link. Would be great if you could also show some screenshots of GPU-Z (specs, TDP, vbios version number)

 

VBIOS should work because it uses the same GPU ID and memory configuration as X-VSION.

 

Once I confirm everything works, you can return the card and get a refund then buy X-VSION 

 

Only by purchasing MXM GPU you can obtain their VBIOS sadly...

It's easy actually. Either from nvflashk software or either from CH341A SOP8 flasher, it's just a 2MB rom file!
