Congratulates the choice. This is the perfect hardware with much bigger potential than the M18x. I was going to buy it a long time ago but I think I'll wait for the new nVidia cards.

Hi, I need help. I unsuccessfully try to flash K5000M in windows (in P150EM). I checked the nvflash 5.118 and 5.134 version. With nVidia/Intel HD drivers and without. I still have the same error: I/O ERROR: Cannot open file: ... What is wrong?

No matter what it's called, if (after Apple) the card hit the market in the price of HD8970M (same PCB could reduce the cost of production) I certainly would not hesitate.

It seems to me that it is not only the power supply issue but rather the CPU voltage regulator. In the HM model it was badly positioned and it overheated. Check That there are no white sediment around the controller. In P150/170EM improved this design flaw.

OK, thank you in advance.

After all I'm also not proud of my 680M. I would like to try out the 1.1V vbios. I hope that I'll could handle the temperature.

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->I had a do not speak but whatever. I understand your frustration I heve the 580M in a drawer, but it's not my fault that nVidia have excellent cards last year. BTW in Poland is ~0 C outside. The cold is for free. If you only problem is the temperature you can use liquid nitrogen for cooling your card but do not show us the crappy results. Just use 300W power supply from x7200. What maximum core frequency (for bench) did you obtain?

There is a crazy vbios. Excellent work svl7. It is unfortunate that despite the absence of any artifacts 3DMark11 crashes above 1140MHz. I regret do not have 2920XM already. It would be a chance for 10K.

I did not have when look at. I just had a good time with 1.087V vbios. No artifacts, even over 1100/2500. Thank you very much svl7.

I had more time and I could test it a little bit. NVIDIA Quadro K5000M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2630QM Processor,CLEVO P170HMx score: P8128 3DMarks NVIDIA Quadro K5000M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2630QM Processor,CLEVO P170HMx

Yes please.

Thx svl7! Crazy OV

This vbios is stock 1.012V on load and is perfect. http://forum.techinferno.com/attachments/general-notebook-discussions/5216d1350760256-k5000m.zip Just need to unlock core clock.

svl7 & Prema, Is there any chance to K5000M core unlock?

I do not know if you meant it?

There is a service diagnostic software for nVidia cards, at least it was for older cards. I think the problem may be also a badly soldered GPU chip (board ID with device ID mismatch) or mechanical PCB failure. It would be easier to say something if you did good quality photos.

mal3x, Is there on the board an SLI connector? ( J1 )

If I'm not mistaken, for P170HM you can use all the vbios from MSI, and only 52 KB (88 KB) vbios from Clevo. I recommend 1.012V vbios.

Hi svl7, Here is: http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/2221-quadro-card-gaming.html#post30038 @Tonrac, Slightly higher voltage does not really matter for temperature and power consumption and for 99% of the components are designed for higher voltage and operate more stably. The whole art to aptly select the voltage, frequency and load to the technical capabilities of our laptops and our skills.

Tonrac, 1.012V OV is the best solution for GTX680M, also used for better stability in stock K5000M vbios.

Perfectly, You need to replace the resistor 524 (22K as I recall) to a higher (25K-30K).

svl7, Even a small increase of core voltage (1.012V) results in a more stable operation of the memory controller in the chip (2600MHz). I raised (via resistors) memory chips voltage to 1.55V (1.5V failed). Above 2700MHz the memory chips and memory controller still works but does not show content. IMHO, the memory controller in the chip has too low voltage for the selected frequency.
