    My score is getting a little better after applying some of the bios settings from the link you posted. I wanted to get your thoughts on changing to premas msi vbios for these msi gtx 980's ? Changed all power settings to what you showed and most others but my cpu OC is for 3940xm . The toggle switch fix only seems to offer limited increase and I am still getting throttling after benching with firestrike. Modified afterburner profile to allow core voltage increase but have not tried it out yet.

    That is EXCELLENT !!! My humble thanks for your time and efforts In all of this. You are a rare individual and I appreciate the guidance you have given so freely in teaching what has been earned through your time and trials !

    As the saying goes, If your not sure : RESEARCH first

    Looking through power menu in the bios, tdp lock and custom configure tdp custom setting 0. Anything in here that is safe to tweak ?

    Horrible, betrayed by intent from Nvidia on down the food chain. I had been planning a new desktop build but got the 980's instead with hopes of the new 1080's down the pike. This really is a tragedy........

    I know you have a lot of connects and I keep seeing new laptops advertising 1080m sli. I would bet you will have one or two soon to test ?
  7. Siplast
    Yeah I thought that might be the case. Found out for sure while testing. Just running low on thermal paste but luckily I had just enough left to test each individually and set up again sli GPUZ is telling me these cards are made by Dell ? MSI laptop gt80 Titan is what they came from. VBIOS is for Clevo and mod NVidia desktop driver. How does gpuz determine manufacturer ?

    Just wanted to make sure. I have disabled my standard OC for testing the 980's In this pic is the daily OC I have been using. I have concern about DDU error in safe mode and with all of the bios switching and from 7 to 8.1 uefi and legacy I should reformat fresh 8.1 os. I need to test the 980's individually now that they are both working but I am not sure If I can run slave slot with gpu if main is pulled. I would think this would not be and issue but thought to ask to save time.

    I cant seem to access overclock functions for GTX through the new A11 unlocked bios. If I switch to igfx the function is available but once I switch to peg it is disabled ? Is their something I am not finding to acess this function ?
  10. Siplast
    Restarted and went into bios, disable quick boot , set to igfx and booted up, reinstalled intel drivers for integrated graphics as they were now missing, rebooted and changed bios to peg and ALL GOOD !

    When I had only one of the 980's installed the throttle toggle fix worked great and more that doubled my bench but now with both cards installed in sli, the toggle is not working and I get 8 beeps on the switchover. Have to , power drain , pull cmos out completely and battery and start till 5 beeps then reassemble and restart just to get back into bios and reset to peg, then all works again.

    I'm having problems with throttling and low bench scores and when I try to toggle I get 8 beeps going from IGFX back to peg. I have to trick it but eventually get it back to peg and running as it should. I will reread some of the threads and make sure I have the right settings in the bios. Windows 8.1 UEFI , legacy disabled , secure boot off, Might have fast boot enabled which I will see If that makes a difference. Need to finish installing drivers for the other ssd with windows 7 and try and see if that makes a difference

    I have gotten the second 980 in and running in SLI ! Before I cut the prongsAfter I cut folded and clipped under the opposite side

    My VBIOS version is reading 84.04.88.00.C1 after flashing with premas mod. Have I used the correct VBIOS ?
  15. Siplast
    I was able to get the first MSI GTX 980m to function. The prongs had to be modified as they were causing the card to short out and not seat properly. I was tempted to just cut them off but I reformed the metal to close down and make contact upon itself and then isolate it from touching any metal with thermal pads. As I work on the second card I will include pics of the modified spring. It seems MSI's proprietary 980 is no longer proprietary.

    Seller was breaking down his titan for parts hoping to get more than he can for the unit as a whole. The seller is hoping I can get them to work otherwise he's stuck unless he can find another Titan owner who has bad cards and needs to replace them and Is not under warranty. MSI voids your warranty if you pull the screws to replace parts. Only authorized service centers are allowed to service MSI laptops. These 980's are not resellable otherwise. MSI, BGA, Proprietary, : Big brother is alive and well with MSI as a home.

    Spoke to MSI today about the GTX 980m's that I was trying to use. After explaining that I was trying to use this card in m18x r2 , The rep who was very helpful and put me on hold for about 5 minutes. When he came back it seems he had been guided to the right place in the database that he was using. The Rep. stated that the GTX 980m that is used in the Gt80 Titan is not compatible with any other laptop except another GT80 Titan period ,not even any other MSI laptop. The prongs In the pics that I showed earlier I believe are the added proprietary addition to the card. I don't know How to get around this unless simply compressing the prongs to make contact upon themselves and isolating them from contact with metal solves the issue. I have asked the seller to send pictures of the heatsink as I can not find any pics online showing the side facing the card. I am hopeful that their might be some visible difference that can be easily reproduced . I will add the pictures when I receive them for any that might be curious.

    Unless I can get laptop to boot without 8 beeps It really does not matter about anything else as the point is moot. Once booted in uefi it should be plug and play using peg. I will run through all again and post if I have a better result. If you think of anything else Mr. Fox Please let me know.

    I just started rereading, reading through Gofafa post on m17x r4 and m18x r2 but it is quite lengthy and I have not finished yet. Did anyone get the m17x r4 to work with 980m ?
  20. Siplast
    Mr. Fox, I thought I would ask a few more questions before I give up and return these cards to the seller. I have and m17x r4 that I converted to 120 hz but I have the old 60hz. screen and I could switch it back if needed. So my first question would be : 1. can I flash NVidia card in optimus mode ? I have not used optimus in a couple of years and cant remember for sure but It seemed that NVidia control panel was present and device manager saw the cards in optimus mode ? 2. Using the m18x 2 with 680 in the main slot and 980 in the slave slot can the secondary card be flashed ? I believe that only the primary slot can be flashed unless two cards are used sli. ? 3. Is it possible with only one card installed to flash while in sg mode using m18x r2 ? 4. Is it possible to flash 980 in dos mode instead of windows and If so do you know of a vbios for 980m in dos that I could use for this project ? Do you have any further Ideas or suggestions that I have not mentioned ?
  21. Siplast
    Thank you so much for the clarification as I would like to invite the seller to view this discussion. You have been a great help once again ! It is a shame I cant make use of these cards.
  22. Siplast
    At no time did I use any settings other than IGFX and PEG so I am asking that by trying to flash unsuccessfully in IGFX could this flash brick both GPU's ? This is important so please advise. If their is a chance that I bricked the gpu's then the seller is off the hook and I eat the loss.
  23. Siplast
    Mr Fox, just to be clear. Earlier I stated that at no time would the laptop boot when set to peg. I further stated that When I click on the mod me.bat a cmd window opens and states no NVidia display adapter found and then disappears. I believe this would mean that no device was found to be able to flash ? Are you stating now that I flash bricked both of these gpu's ? After rereading what you wrote above please remember that the laptop with both mxm slot populated would not boot but would only give 8 beeps when set to peg, as I tried to boot to peg repeatedly but could only get it to boot igfx. At no time was I able to allow a flash as nvflash did not see the gpus
  24. Siplast
    Tried peg with uefi and legacy and got 8 beeps on both . Wouldn't the cards show up and be detected either way in the bios ? Reinstalled the gtx 680's and the cards showed up in the bios_{ in any mode that I set}. Set to peg and then downloaded driver and installed. Wanted to make sure that the integrity of my system had not been compromised. Drivers are installed and all is working as it should again in sli. I could never and not in any environment get my laptop to boot in peg when these 980's were installed, I consistently got 8 beeps and then would to do power drain and the system battery trick just to boot back into igfx. Can you think of any thing that has been missed ? Can you think of any way for me to proceed other than returning these cards to the seller ?
  25. Siplast
    I am going to summarize for seller and refer him to this thread. Installed cards but no flash for vbios was ever done as the system could not see the cards. No brick possible as no flash permitted. No mod driver was ever installed as the system could not see the cards. If you refer to the pics that I showed of the cards you can see I was working on and anti static mat and I had a wrist collar on . Finally : what would have saved me a lot of time would have been to check the bios first to see if the cards showed as they do not.
