MSI GT80S GTX 980 work in Clevo

Hello all so i wanted to know has anyone ever tried to install the GTX 980 (Laptop) into a clevo ?

I have the following to try do it with

P150EM
P150SM
P170EM
P170SM

And a few others

 

that card is too big for those P1xxs

 

Just try it, it should work considering the GTX 1070 from MSI has about the same layout and does work in some clevos.

I dont even think you need to cut a lot in your case.

 

I will give it a bash this evening and if I get it done I will try make a DIY thing and upload some pictures

 

I don't mind cutting plastic

 

keep us updated!
where did you get the card from btw??

and could u do some firestrike benchmarks stock and OCed?

 

I bought it of a guy in France.. I have a GT80S 6QF that I can test it in to make sure it's a good one .

And if I get it done I will definitely do some standard and OC benchmarks on the strike !

 

I know only a P150SM with an MSI GTX1070, similar dimensions

Yes let us know, if this specific card works in those clevos that means a gtx 980 sli is possible in an alienware 18 due to lvds compatibility...

 

Wouldn't say the Viking mobo could keep 2 150-200W GPUs fed.

 

could be getting a little ahead of my self but ...

 

It can just about handle it, it does come close to the hard limit of 330w though. The dell PSU can supply up to 400w without tripping so it's definitely got the power lol. It's just the limit that dell have placed in the laptop that can cause issues.

 

I mean I hope it works, can you try disabling optimus and running the card directly.

If it turns on to a black screen the 980 outputs edp only.

 

I will disable optimus yes.. and use the 240w Dell power brick

 

Running heaven benchmark as we speak

 

This is me using the 180w power brick .. I'll try the HP 230w next..

Good thing is it works and temps are okish

 

What are your ranges?

 

87° was the max but now I'm testing with the 230w power brick that may help a little

i need to fix the driver mod as the GPU is coming up as the K1100m

i am new to this all and did this in a rush but looks promising

 

This is so sweet!
Did you have to do some case modding??

 

There was a bit of plastic that I cut not a big issue was very easy but as soon as I have the GPU showing as a 980 and the benchmarks done properly then I will do a detailed step by step with pictures 1 thing I know is it's about 2000 points better than a stock 980m on firestrike

 

Hello all Can any one help me with fixing the driver .inf .. im having trouble

 

Did you try the modified driver from @j95 ?? I just go HERE and download the driver
