Asus G75 680M upgrade

XP_DSDT – eXtract & Patch DSDT v0.4 « TonyCr's Blog
I can edit DSTD
Now we need DSTD Clevo and G75, then speed fan data fit

DSTD Fan mod ,
DSDT Fan mod 2

 

Fan speed problem solved ?

 

not quite, but it might be the ventilators and the man gets regulated,
I need two file azs both notebook:
"DSDT.dsl" Asus G75 and Clevo P170HM
the data DSDT kan quickly created:

 

Ask me all files you need from the G75, I can give them to you.

The only file that I could find in the DSDT folder is the following:

From June 30, 2012

 

the gtx 660 already has fan control for it , so no need wasting time for it , so you could proceed to do the fan control when someone confirms that the card works on g75 , but until that , you can test your fan control hack on a g73 , which if it succeeds you could have the same success with g75 , I can provide any files from my g73 ,
thanks let me know
it will also be very useful for people who has upgraded their asus g series laptop .

 

this................

 

GTX 680M are a no go for G75 due to different MXM interface Asus use.

However there is a guy modding his G73 right now and putting in his GTX 680M. It have the same MXM interface as 680M, and according to him he got the notebook to reckognize the 680M. Now he is doing heatsink modification and making shure if fits inside. Go look at the thread below

Does the G75vw 180w Power Brick work on the G73's?

 

A G73 with a 680m, that will be quite an upgrade

 

It will be quite a bummer to know G75 is not carrying a MXM inteface... All our discussion would be pointless. Nevertheless, I won't stop until confirmation of some real info and not just guesses.

How can I copy it for you ? I can't seem to find a way to find my registry files.

 

That's beyong awesome 920XM + GTX680M = rule again

People, there is some guy in ROG forum saying that the G75 isn't even carrying MXM in it. Is there a way for us to confirm this ? If this is true, all this discussion about fitting a 680m would be a dead end. The guy that says this happens to be the same that made a 680m work in a G73SW, so I think is not saying things just to guess.

What do you think ?

 

Nah its a regular MXM but the MXM card is oddly shaped, which is getting any 680M to fit inside the G75 is gonna be a pain in the biiiiiip

I really wish it was possible

It is possible to make it fit, I have just said how some pages back in this post. But it is extremely important to confirm whether this is MXM or not.

 

Are you getting those cards or are you waiting for them yo work in the G75 ? If you are buying them, you could be of great help.

 

Even if it is MXM, what are you gonna do about the heatsink? The shape is completely wrong.

 

yea , ultimate upgrade will finish with a 800$ epic fail!
man imagine , even if you get the card to boot , how are you going to hold it ??
because its a laptop , when moving it , the parts inside tend to move , so you have to make a metal holder to hold it to mobo and have to remove the heat-pipes from g75 heat-sink and re-solder the heat-pipes to m17x r3/4 heat-sink.
otherwise its a total waste of time talking about it.
look here : here
here
and here
look how the g73jh mobo looks , compare it with g75 , g73 mobo also has the holes to hold the card and a extra hole to install an screw to hold normal mxm gpu's other than asus stock card. so they made g73 in a way it can be upgraded , but g75 was epic fail , they mite have looked at the info posted in nbr ( about hd 6970m upgrade) and changed the way of design , to not fit any other mxm cards.
They though of planting the vga card on board but , they passed that idea because if it was onboard , the power it delivers will be reduced, so to supply the maximum gaming power to consumers they placed the mxm slot bit upward to make it not possible to upgrade with other cards , due to the next gen wont be success if the current gen holds up .
my 0.02$ .

 

Agreed. It seems as if ASUS intentionally took precautions in order discourage people from upgrading this machine. Other than the physical constraints, who knows what other restrictions they've incorporated. I love my G73, but after this I'm done with ASUS and wont be investing into another one.

 

If they did because they didn`t want anyone to upgrade their own notebook, thats messed up

 

It's perfectly reasonable from a business point of view.
1) Users modifying laptop -> higher chance of faults -> increased repair costs if they don't spot that the warranty was voided
2) Forcing people to upgrade the whole laptop -> $$$

 

It is also perfectly reasonable for business to:

1) Provide an upgrading service
2) Make up-gradable notebooks
3) Sell upgrade kits

In every step they make money, in every step they make customers happy.

 

I don't see how.

 

@sarge your very correct!

all g75 owners , if you want to upgrade to gtx 680m , buy an g73sw laptop and spend the money on upgrading it , because it doesnt have any of these problems like g75 . all you have to do is , remove the current vga and replace it with gtx 680 and replace the heatsink with g73jh heatsink, thats it.

 

My 2 cents

If someone can get their hands on a 680 could just do a try test. Just the mobo and screen connected to it .....if it posts with the 680 then you are 1 step closer to getting it to work. The boot will not kill the GPU too so if it does not work can just upgrade whatever other notebook. If it did then you i would start thinking on how to fit the damn thing in there.

 

How about we all contribute like the people in smash my ps3 or smash my ipad.

Each one that is intersted can contribute a dollar and once it reaches the amount to purchase a gtx 680m for testing, then we'll have someone that is an expert test it for us.

 

That is in fact a great idea... if I were to choose someone to have the 680m I would say VSSS...

He might not speak english but he knows quite a big set of things in this area of upgrade. If someone knows how to make this sort of donation system, please say.

 

I will easily contribute $10-50

 

Me too... It would be very helpful if we can do this. Anyone know how ?

 

Um, hello? One guy is already doing this. He says it POSTs fine.

 

but it was on a g73sw .

 

There is a thing called group gift , it should work , you can invite many people as you want .
but they only ship within US , so VSSS is out of option , we need to select someone on US , who knows perfectly about installing the card , because newb's can probably kill it .

 

How about allurgroceries leading it, we need to get this rolling soon so we could find out if g75 has a future in gtx 680m kepler

 

hmm so for $ 2,500 to fit everything, Clevo AMD and Nvidia GPUs are based on a motherboard option Optimus as Enduro are released in the VBIOS of the GPU, which means to VBIOS be adjusted, I binn not sure but with customized VBIOS should 7970m run on G75, G75 not only that I can not test me, I get me one day in the 680m with Clevo, I look at the whole ACPI is no guarantee we do not have another run in the G75 GPU, so be careful with the conversion Basilea

 

Problem is to gather 50-60 people to do this since few people know about the possibility. Another problem is: One thing to customize the whole GPU to fit inside the G75, another thing is to make it easy for other people to replicate.

I think the best option would be to make a petition and ship it down to Asus.

 

They will misunderstand you inquiry and answer any kind of nonsense as they always do with this type of subjects...

Who in this forum has a G75 and is form the US ?

 

apart from that does the 680m, problem is to move the HDD well forward and this will not work because the more will be cut by portable elements then the whole schsies softer, which due to the blaiben hand holdable elements or reinforced are having conversion question mark because there is not yet confirmed the 680 works in the G75, which was rebuilding plan I came up to me and who will guarantee is we need some Asus parts (~ 150 €) and M18 680 heat sink, to 680m and G75 to perform conversion I need a Clevo / Sager with 680m, and ASUS G75,
from my perspective is not simply because I was ordered to buy two laptop,
Clevo has offered me a proposed P702HM with 680m + HD7970 with Heatsink (€ 2k) then I may as well test both GPU and for that I need an ASUS G75 with 670m, most of the United States because of price, I do not know any of the G75 in its can test the GPU, which is due to the problem because I was ordered to have two notebook.

 

you test with your notebook, or send your gtx 680m to a guy who own a asus g75 , so he will test it and send the gpu back to you.

 

monkey offers 680m laptop with right of return for 15% of the award, is cheaper than it should I send my 680 on lake

 

your English is not clear at all !
your sending your 680 on lake ? what does that mean.

 

@evgarsr2
I user google translate, but that is known here that my device is not translating the best, but if you're so neugerig can then invest themselves in 2500 € and upgreade, info here post if not then please let your thoughts keep away.

 

I know that you use google translate , but its funny that you say the samething again and again .
no one is going to send money nor gtx 680m to a person outside US/ doesn't know english at all.
you dont even own a g75 , so why your so worried ? :laugh:

 

G75 I not have , but features two M18r1 :laugh:

 

if you have 2x m18x you cant rule the world.

 

conversation with you did not bring anything new in the topic

 

Guys, lets not start a fight please. Lets just wait until Hackness gets his new 680m and see what we can do. Even dough I think that it would be much easier to contribute to someone getting a 680m that already has a G75 and not to someone that does not. Once again, who has a G75 and lives in the US and knows about upgrades ?

QUESTION OUT OF TOPIC:
I just wanted to ask you if anyone knew how to unlock the GPU core clock (of a 660m in my G75) since there is a Vbios restriction that it can only go +135 and we all know it has more to give. Given that it is locked, I wanted to ask you if any of you knew how to modify Vbios and eliminate the restriction or at least change it. Would that MMTool program work ?

 

Just give it up. There are way too much work to make the 680M fit inside the G75. I have realized that.

Either we gather enough people to have a chance to be heard by Asus, or G73 is the only chance. But no way I`m buying that old notebook

 

I have just remembered that Thunderbolt external GPUs are coming... That would just save all these work, in a different non ideal way but it would...

This was what Mobius said at first and I said that it was no point on doing it but that may save lots of trouble and it would be great. Notebooks would last over 5 years by just changing the external GPU.

 

slowly accumulated a small set that will help me in my project is not a professional but does its job, I have still not yet at the End Plan to the motherboard and how housing and Graphics,

 

Have you bought a 680m or a G75 ?

 

for test just finished cutting the old poles cover the motherboard mounting screws cut out went very smoothly and quickly, any changes in the housing is a very easy procedure, as I said I do not plan what motherboard to use,
as I will have to cut housing of G75 is to think you inserted the mainboard from the same Clevo bypasses the entire structure are incompatible, cut glue and paint everyone think he can,
Anyway, the G75 case I could use, even a dozen or so days and I should have Clevo170 witch 680m, then I will examine whether Clevo is really so loud as he writes
