Nvidia Quadro K3100M/K4100M/K5100M overclocking vBIOS mod

Pretty cool work you did on these cards @valuxin. I picked up a Dell m6800 with m6100 card and switched the AMD card and heatsink for Nvidia heatsink and k4100m. Ddu'd the amd drivers and installed Nvidia drivers without any issues.

After flashing the 1072 bios I couldn't get any games to load prior to ddu'ing the Nvidia drivers and reinstalling them again.

Only issue I'm having is with temps. Will go to +100°c under full load. I think I used .5mm thermal pads on the memory etc. And the thermal grease on chip itself may have been a bit old and a little dry.

Anybody have a picture of what components need what thickness of thermal pad because I think I need to take it apart and reapply thermal paste? May as well redo the cpu as well. Any other suggestions on cooler temps are welcome.

 

Hi guys
I have read all posts but i am not really shure how to ovreclock my k5100m in my HP Zbook 17 G2 with i7 4910mq and 15 gb gb ?

Any ideas?

I just want play Fallout 4 fluently for now

 

I try to overclock a DELL 7510 win an m2000m card
I can overclock the frequency +135 (runs fine) but I can not overclock the memory

I think (at least memory) is BIOS locked.
Is there a way to have an unlocked Memory - GPU freq BIOS for DELL M2000M and increase it with software?
I would not be so confident to flash with specific overclock frequencies.

Any help?
Thanks

 

Try with Maxwell Vbios tweaker.

 

Using the Nvidia inspector I saw that also undervolting -106.3mV more than doubled the Unigine Valley score from:
21.7 (only +135Mhz GPU from 1137--> 1272 Mhz)
to
49,4 !!! (1272 GPU plus -106.3mVolt undervolt)
I guess the laptop hitted a power limit without the undervolt

The 1272 was easily obtainable without undervolt from the chip , so I guess the GPU frequency can be increased much more
with the undervolt

(I was not able to touch the memory frequency yet)

Any way to increase the total power limit without BIOS modding? (maybe I gain more fps from this)

 

What does GPU-Z say about perfcap reason in the sensors tab when you are in game with and without undervolt ?

 

When I do not overclock the Perfcap says none .
When I overclock with NVIDIA Inspector +135Mhz -100mV I see many times as reason to "Pwr"

1) So I guess that if somehow I increase the Pwr limit I will get more speed
Also If I manage to undervolt more than -100mV I will have the same result?

Also I see Max memory controller load =56%
Max GPU load = 100%
2) Does this mean that I should not chase memory overclock since their is 100-56=44% more bandwidth available? (memory overclock does not work anyway)

Edit :
It seems that the -100mV is reset 0mV when I start to run the bench.....
So I guess I have to do something for this also....
MAybe change the version of the drivers?

 

If your clocks and GPU utilization doesn't decrease when you are in Perfcap "Pwr" then you don't need to increase the TDP.
As for memory frequency, I don't think the 750Ti require a lot of memory bandwidth, it's a pretty small GPU which isn't very powerfull.
Version of the drivers will change nothing, unless there is a "special" drivers (mostly not well finished by nvidia) that allow some tricks to happen, but I'm not aware of such drivers
Try to open your vbios in maxwell bios tweaker and see if you can decrease voltage or increase TDP or unlock clocks, I'm not aware on how to do it on laptop.

 

Hey,someone would like to prepare bios for dell m4800 from k2100m? depending on the voltage change option (- offset because I can only increase)

thanx

 

is there anyone around, i need a few pointers, i did used the k3100m @1124 and it performed amazingly for 1 session, then i turned off my laptop and when i went back to it for a quick play it was lagging BAD, i check on msi afterburner and memory clock tops at 800mmhz but on gpu-z it still shows as 1300mhz, and the performance its even worst than when it was back on stock bios

 

YOU SIR HAVE SAVE THE DAY, THX FOR THE ADVISE AND OF COURSE THX TO @valuxin FOR THE AMAZING JOB YOU HAVE DONE

 

Hi all,

I owned a Zbook 17 with a K3100M card and i've flashed the bios with the [Mighty Q v1.3] [email protected] 2600Mhz TDP120W.rom.

The card work fine but i can't overclock the card beyond the + 135 MHZ with Nvidiainspector... did i do something wrong ? It's my first overclocking ever !

In Gpu-Z i can see the right bios version 80.04.E8.00.1C and the default boost is 1202 MHZ.

Thank you for your help

Christophe

 

I'ven't read all the pages of this thread... Flashing Zbook K3100M rom is not possible ... too bad

 

Hello, I would like to know if there was any test for K5100M eventually. I'm considering to install one on my M6800. If not, I could test it and let you know.

Btw, I've tried all your builds on my current K4100M and I find it very stable. Especially the [email protected] one. Only problem is that instantly I get 95oC on CPU when laptop boots (With "ThrottleStop") The GPU temp maxed at 80-82 oC.

 

Dude I used your vBIOS on my Dell M6800 with Quadro K3100M and thanks to you I got massive overclock performance!!! You did it much better than MSI afterburner and thank you very much! Appreciate your excellent work here's my results: core clock 1162Mhz and memory clock 2800Mhz with bandwidth 182GB/s nice!

 

you can also upgrade the GPU to GTX970M/980M to get even more performance

 

It would be worth it if they were sold in a reasonable price haha

 

it depends, some could be bought cheaply, like 100~150€ for a 970M 6GB and 150~200€ for a 980M 8GB, same for equivalent Quadro, that's a great upgrade for this laptop, you should set some alerts on ebay and used market website of your country

 

hey valuxin I'm trying to upgrade my laptop gpu but I need to mod the integrated vbios but I need some help

 

Hi there, I flashed one of the vBIOS on my K3100m in my Dell M6800, but after are reboot and starting any game I got pink and green fragments all over the display. so I flashed the Backup file and restarted. After restart I took the Internet off and deinstalled the GPU driver via DDU.
Restart again and than flash again the 1124Mhz 100W vBIOS, all good then but when I install the Driver again the Laptop will be very laggy and the fragments show in windows not only in games, and sometimes the display got black and back to normal.

So my question is, is there something I miss or I'm just stupid to get it run?
Or maybe the GPU is faulty....but with the stock BIOS it will work with out problems.
Temps are quiete good so far, but to be safe I repaste the GPU and the CPU.

So could anyone help me on this topic?
Thanks

Try to lower your mem clock in MSI afterburner. If it won't help, try to increase GPU voltage for a bit. You could also use latest build with 115w TDP limit and lower it in MSI Afterburner.

 

Lowering the mem clock speed has clear the problem, thanks for the help.
