The hopeful of keeping MXM 3.0b alive thread!

It's for the 4 screws that secure the heatsink to the gpu x bracket, not the screws that hold the MXM card in place.

Sorry, I'm not talking about the screws that hold the MXM card in place. Those are standard M.2 screws (the exact same screws that hold the case cover in place too).

I'm talking about the screws that screw into the heatsink to secure the heatsink on the CPU and GPU.

Does anyone here know what exact screws those are and what to order from that laptopscrews.com

Here are the screws that pretty much screw into most of the MSI Chassis, including M2 slots and secure the mxm card and even the VRM heatsink in place:

But I'm looking for the bigger screws (as shown in the screenshot I linked) that secure the *HEATSINKS* in place.

Anyone know the measurements?

@bloodhawk @Mr. Fox @Papusan ?

 

As I said the screws I bought are for the x-bracket to hold the heatsink to the gpu die.

The screws came in a pack of 50. If they work I'll be happy to forward some over.

I replaced all of the screws inside of the DM3 I sold to Dr. AMK with stainless steel pan head screws. They were not very magnetic and easy to drop, but much harder, far more resistant to stripping out, and had a deeper Philips slot than the wafer head screws. It was a huge improvement over the soft and crappy quality original equipment laptop screws.

 

I'm still gonna give the hex head screws a try and see if they work for me.

Allen-head? Yeah, they should work just fine. I did not know that is what you ordered.

 

the key/wrench size for the screws is 1.5mm cos they're metric hex screws and the key is small & thin enough that I could just tape it to the inside of the case without losing it.

EDIT: Plus I can get enough leverage on the key to make it easier to screw and unscrew. My belief is that the hex design is less prone to stripping compared to a phillips head due to the amount of surface contact the hex has over the phillips. so it should make it easier to manage. I think this should be standard....but whatevs.

 

along with the 50 pack i ordered from china, i ordered a 10 pack from an australian supplier on ebay and i should get those before the week is out. i better make sure I have the right hex key.

 

I don't normally link to LTT, but...

MXM, with Swiftech waterblock, in SFF gaming PC.

 

can we steal that MXM 1080? LOL

 

OK, so the screws I bought are not the right size

oh well.

 

I found the x bracket that came with my MSI 1070s used a slightly bigger screw than usual. Lucky I had some random torx heads either from a hard drive or phone, I'm weird like that, always stripping things before chucking them.

Swapping the x bracket with a standard one would also work.

 

hmm....interesting. what screws does the standard x-bracket use?

 

Is somewhere any unlocked vBios fot gtx 1060 Clevo version?

 

Guys, do you know that WX7100/RX480 is finally available? Check it out.

 

Been available for a while.... Requires and edp.display pretty sure so u can only use 1 in SG Mode if at all.... While being about the same performance of a 980M its not really worth it and a 1070 or 980M SLI is a much better option... Edit - Sorry was on the go thought this was in an Alienware 18 forum lol... But I still think a single 1070 or SLI 980M is a better option

And that same same seller have WX4150/RX460 to

Spoiler: RX460

Now THIS I am interested in breathing new life into my m4600 if it works

@KhronX

Care to be the guinea pig?

 

Well, right now i don't really have the spare cash even for the cheaper GeCube RX560 from Taobao (which would come out under 200$) I'd class that as "still reasonable", but 300$? That's quite stretching it...

 

I'd probably try it but I dont know anything about troubleshooting these cards to work in older laptops especially with LVDS panels.

Havent heard from @valuxin in a while either so I assume the guys been busy with other things in his life.

 

so a.
we have MXM 3.0b dead thread

 

hey guys! whats the current situation on the 1070 standard mxm 3.0b cards? we got gecube, zotac, eurocom (also gecube? but with more mosfets?)....what else? any indication of them NOT blowing up in our faces? maybe by running them at their intended TDP of 115W.

also, anyone tried one of them cards in a P7xxDM series machine successfully?

 

They're all basically the same. The best one is the MSI GTX 1070

 

...which is not standard mxm 3.0b though

Its mxm3.0b-ish lol

 

Our GTX 1060 and 1070 cards are standard size MXM 3.0b. Electrical spec is 3.1 supporting only eDP LCD panels. Starting with 10 series GPUs there is no support for LVDS based LCD panels. To get GTX 10 series working you would need to have either eDP LCD panel or Optimus based laptop (with LVDS and/or eDP panel) where internal display is handled via iGPU.

 

do you have any experience regarding the standard mxm 3.0b 1070 in the Clevo P7xxDM series? The one that originally came with 6700K and 980M? any info on this would be much appreciated

 

@Eurocom Support is the P5000 same design as GTX 1070 (MXM board, chokes, MOSFETs and etc) or is it different? A picture would be awesome! Thanks.

 

GTX 1060 and 1070 GPUs are not supported in P7xxDM series due to limitations of the GPU heatsink. The cost of designing new GPU heatsink is too high even to consider.

 

P5000 image is available here: [link to own site removed by moderator - read forum rules]
P5000 layout is similiar to GTX 1070 so you can use the same GPU heatsink. We have P5000, P4000 and P3000 available in stock.

 

oh im aware of that. one would have to, say, get a second heatsink and mod the gpu part to fit the new card have u tested the P870DM, for instance? just want to know if it generally works in terms of electrical / firmware compatibility.

and charge a ridiculous upmark for it too.....I can understand a 5-10% upmark over cost maybe even 25% for aftermarket support but a 50% upmark? Beyond unreasonable and just greedy practice at that point to charge $2500 for a $1200 card.

thats not eurocom though, thats just general Quadro professional card premium

 

If you supply a Dell service tag to the parts department for a 7720 equipped with a P5000 they will sell you a brand new P5000 w/ 1 year warranty for $1600 Still a far cry from $2500 w/ 90 day warranty. This outrageous pricing and abandonment of standards is what drove people out of this game.

 

ok THAT is indeed crazy *lol*

 

That's ballpark for eurocom, 25-50% premium over a "normal" price for pretty much every upgrade or replacement part.

To be fair though, I don't see other resellers putting the same amount of work into their website if they even have a dedicated upgrade section. If they maintain stock on hand (I've never ordered from them) the management of inventory and avoiding overinvestment would be hard from a business perspective... the alternative to having stock on hand (such as when I go through my Aus reseller for obscure bits) is a 4 to 6 weeks delivery timeframe.

Worst from them I saw was the upgraded eDP cable for P870 for $161, on taobao is like $40 ex shipping, a part used in every QHD/4K P870, and cables like that ordered in bulk wholesale lots are very very cheap per unit.

I'm not going to defend anyone, just stating a fact - the Eurocom version is GDDR5X. Money are money in the end and I don't have a money tree either.

 

Buy one Put in coins and get 10 times back

 

lets not forget that prema has cut ties with Eurocom, I woulnd't trust them one bit after that


the P5000m is GDDR5x though? how is that possible?

 

I'm assuming they just swap the memory over from a 1080. @Khenglish was able to swap memory over from a desktop 980 to a 980M PCB so I'm assuming they could do the same thing. That being said, I've never seen a GPU-Z screenshot or bench of that "GDDR5X" P5000, probably because nobody is stupid enough to shell out $2500 for a single MXM card with no crossfire opportunity.

 

But to use GDDR5X you need extra circuitry of power to activate it.

Does the MXM P5000M even have it.

 

I would wager yes, as the desktop P5000 does in fact have GDDR5X

 

But the P5000 mobile is GTX1070 core though

 

Do we know that for a fact? It could be just a P5000 core with cut cuda cores no?

 

https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-P5000.191073.0.html

2048 core

Unless eurocom has gpu-z screenshot proving that they aren't fake

 

Notebook P5200 & P5000 both use 16GB GDDR5.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/quadro-p5000-with-clevo-p150sm-a-lvds.814127/#post-10689561

 

And there it is. Eurocom caught in another lie.....

Clevo P5000, Dell P5000, and unspecified Taobao P5000 use GDDR5, but the magic Eurocom P5000 uses GDDR5X? Amazing

 

I was mailing with eurocom few months ago and decided they are not worth trust.
They milked me from all information I know, used it for own business and left with offer that makes nonesense. Thats the payoff!
Someone said they are greedy. I totaly agree.

They even didnt check the information they milked me from and just putted it on the website. They misunderstand me and putted the wrong information as a working solution, while I know it is not working because I checked it myself.

Its sad.

 

what kind of information did they milk you of?
