    Upgraded Laptops by forum users (work in progress)


    I create this thread because I think that concentrating knowledge about laptop gpu upgrades can help people who would like to replace the gpu
    http://www.notebookreview.com/howto/how-to-upgrade-nvidia-mxm-notebook-graphics-cards/

    MXM is supposed to make repairs and upgrades possible and easier. [​IMG]


    Not all MXM cards are the same.
    Type A card ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Type B card
    [​IMG]



    Dimensions:
    -mxm 3.0b is 82mm x 105mm like MSI Gtx1060
    -mxm 3.0 is 100mm x 124mm like Clevo Gtx1060
    -mxm 3.1 is 94mm x 111mm like Aetina Gtx1070
    -mxm 3.1b is 94mm x 105mm like MSI Gtx1070

    MXM Gpu upgrades could require a new heatsink or a modified heatsink

    Good idea!

    p150em with 1060
    http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4840318726 (chinese)

    Have a hunt through the 'Pascal upgrade' thread and the 'Keep 3.0b alive' thread - @dzpliu has linked lots of baidu threads

    Maybe also list failed upgrades and why.
    Gecube RX480(M) MXM into various Clevos during testing - boots but beep/auto shutdown due to EC incompatibility
    Gecube 1070 MXM - works *but* recalled May17 due to firmware/power regulation/blowup issue
    Clevo 1080 (iirc?) into P870DM - failed only because their aux connector wiring was wrong (carefully looking at specs would have maybe prevented the kaboom)

    I'm having trouble with my custom heatsink, the solder I was using formed some rather weak and brittle bonds so I have to wait for a new tube of a stronger solder to come in. Other than cooling problems it does works well (until it just hits 90 and throttles badly)

    Things that work well:
    -Rendering games on the laptop screen using Optimus
    -Rendering games on external displays (including VGA thanks to Optimus)
    -Oculus Rift when using a DP to HDMI adapter


    Cooling is a work in progress sigh

    Yes actually, SoundOfLenses has a channel he no longer updates that has different HPs and at least 1 dell showing teardowns and even MXM upgrades.

    *Side Note I didn't get notified earlier when you "@"ted me I never had been before so maybe there is no notification...

    Please shift P375SM with GTX 1070 to failed upgrade section.
    But in P377SM-A this GPU works (with 1080p screen), and I have information about P170SM-A with GTX 1070 (I asked about screenshots).

    Clevo P370EM with 2x MSI 1070 in SLI works.

    Other than cutting the frame to fit the odd shaped cards and me having to work around not having an internal display (no LVDS out with Pascal) - it was almost too easy.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/sli-msi-1070-mxm-in-p370em-an-adventure.806069/

    Temps aren't as atricious as might be expected with the stock heatsinks designed for 75W GPUs from 2012... ~79C/~86C on age old AS5.

    no

    so until I get eDP panel+cable there is no internal display. External is enough for now, its not my main computer just sitting in the corner mining crypto warming my feet (winter here in Melbourne)

    hey i was able to get a m6100 inside of a dell precision m7710 with max temp of 80c, and using the internal 4k display. But one issue is that it reads HD 8950 from the drivers (which it wont install dell m6100 drivers, says drivers up to date, even using microsoft basic vga driver) and bios reads m5100 but it performs on par as a m6100 but clocks @1075/1375

    No... I don't have M6700 yet. I have M6600 which I think won't work with P3000 or P5000. Can M6700 use full potential of P5000 card? I wonder if a laptop from 2012 can make full use of P5000...
    I like MSI P3000 laptops but they're way too over priced. You have to pay $2500+ to get one...

    Yeah, pretty amazing...
    How much is P5000 card? or P3000 card?
    Where can I buy one?
    I would buy P3000 with a decent M6700.
    I don't want to buy MSI's ugly WT73VR which costs $5000... that's insane amount of money for a laptop. You could buy a nice used car for that price.

    MXM GPU Resellers in the world
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/mxm-gpu-resellers-in-the-world.804197/

    here Dell part numbers

    [490-BDKG][490-BDKH] / P3000

    [490-BDKF][490-BDKG] / P4000

    [490-BDKG][490-BDKK] / P5000

    you need to consider that P5000 is really expensive so may be 2000/2500$ or more and P3000 could be 1000/1200$
    do you use 3D Applications? solidworks? catia? creo? nx?

    Does the P5000M require UEFI or it works in legacy only as well?

    It might require some modifications to the chassis because of the tab on one side , also on the other side it's a bit wider than standard mxm 3.0b.

    I'm sure both 980 and 1070 (those MSI ones) should work as the 1060 works, they don't require extra power.

    Just need to find a way to get them to fit and get the heatsink to cool them.

    the MSI GTX 980 might not work on different models due to BIOS or VBIOS problem,
    Clevo GTX 980 didnt work on 157,177sma, as well as the ZM series.

    Clevo GTX 980 did work without power supply in DM series (P750DM, P770DM) . you just needed to flash P775DM BIOS.
    Vaguely remember seeing someone successfully put GTX 980 on P570WM as well.

    Here's some chinese links: about GTX 980
    http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4310537035 (more like a conclusion thread)
    http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4491333942 (P7XXZM fail)
    http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4467897885 (success of P7XXDM with P775DM BIOS)
