1610ftw Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 That is quite crazy, I thought only ViktorV had that special MXM to 4xNVME module or at least I have never seen a price for it? @ViktorV is that your listing?

Which mod do you mean - the add-on card for 4x NVME SSDs? How can we find out how many lanes are used in products of other manufacturers? I have a GT83 here and performance wise it is right up there with what Clevo had to offer in the P870 chassis so I would expect that there are 8 lanes per MXM slot.

If you take a close-up photo of the MXM NVme board, I can tell you exactly what the maximum support is. For the P870xx it would be 8 lanes. I can't tell you for the GTx!

Yes, that's the idea. The desktop GPU is to be installed inside the P870xx. Of course, a corresponding cooling system must then be manufactured. I'm leaning towards an RTX4080. RTX4090 is absolutely oversized in everything:-) I think the P870xx would already be the fastest laptop with an RTX4080 anyway:-) 1 1
Scruffy Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 tnx for posting that ebay modder, ive seen modded heatsink for less then 250€...... ill buy it for my clevo 🙂
1610ftw Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Does anybody have the pad thicknesses for a TM with the GTX1080 and this heatsink? Current pads clearly are too thick as the heatsink does not make good contact.

I still have a lot of these pads...I would just have to measure them...

If you could measure the thickness over the memory chips that would be cool. I think that these may be too high or maybe the elasticity of the pads has been reduced over the years. As I can easily take out and clean the card it may also be a good occasion to try thermal putty on this one.

Developer79 Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 I have just done a test with the GTX1050Ti(75W) Desktop with my GPU extension. Metro Redux runs surprisingly well with the card: 1
Developer79 Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 This was my last test with the GPU extension with the RTX 4070Ti: 3d Mark has been updated with the new Cards:-) Now you can estimate a bit better where my combination is in terms of performance:-) 1 1

I just measured it... Maybe 0.5 with hard and 1.0 with soft pads? 😄 In any case thanks for the responses @Scruffy and @Developer79, I will have a go this week. If results still aren't what I expect I will use thermal putty for the first time. I have been meaning to do it before but for a CPU and that would have been a much bigger mess.

Just use the right pads and you're done....:-)
1610ftw Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Hmm, I will have to re-measure but I think my old pads also were 1mm and the die did not make proper contact. As the other pads were all stock maybe Clevo messed something up with the other pads.
