You also can modify Your Old GPU Heatsinkfor it,is not somuch work.

You gain another heatpipe with the newer heatsink, but yes, its an easy mod to do.

No, the MSI 1070N does not have any extra power supply connector, its just a plain MXM3.0b connector, no more, no less.

You will need a GT72 VR cpu and gpu heatsink, but the 1070 is a drop in replacament, works out of the box with just the latest(pretty old actually) BIOS , just be sure to get a non G-SYNC model and its plug and play.

Looks like a power inductor, and for it to be failed, at least the mosfet switching it failed short-circuited, probably the ic controlling that mosfet is also dead.

Most probably its just missing the zero ohm resistors that link the traces, or in case of SATA/mSATA the 4 caps in the sata lines, my Toshiba P50 as an mSATA slot, all it need is a couple passives and its working.

The VBIOS is packed with the BIOS; you need to dump the laptop BIOS, then extract it from the BIOS with MMTool, and then hope that you can flash the bios back without a clip and direct access to the soic flash that holds the bios.

Both the GTX 1070 and 1080 require additional power pins. They are larger which means they won't fit and even if they did, the TDP is far too high for the stock cooling solution. A GTX 1060 can output up to ~120W, which the m17x r4 was designed for 100W cards.

There is the MSI 1070N that doesn't use extra power connectors, its a bit bigger in on corner, and the TDP is supposed to be 120Watts :/

You need to use RW-Everything and load the cpu/gpu and find the EC address that changes when the fan pitch changes, that will be the address that controls the duty cycle of the fans, almost all Asus laptops use address 151 for this, but every maker will have different values, and dont assume each make only as one address, assume each model is different.

Its a bit of a PITA do discover the values that control the fan pwm, and you might get some BSOD when you try to change the wrong ones, worst case scenario, you might fry something, because the EC might be controlling some voltage regs.

The solution to over-heating is disassembly, clean fans and thermals and apply new good quality thermal paste, maybe you have a damaged GPU due to over-heating..

What is the device ID of the card you have ? - AFAIK there are two avaialable - 1C20 and 1C60. One being G-sync one non-G-sync.
Mine looks same as yours on the picture but it is probably G-sync version. IIRC its either optimus or gsync. Never both at the same time.

Optimus did NOT work in my GT70 4th gen.
Card worked well on external screen. But as long as I was using built-in screen, only intelHD was used.
Plus, you cannot cross flash 1C20 and 1C60 vBIOS.

 

Edit:

mine is 1C60 with 86.06.19.00.08 vBIOS.
Seems like yours too.

What the heck ???
I have same card, same system and my card does not support Optimus.
Also, the keyboard backlight is all messed up with the card installed - seems like something with EC firmware.
Did you change anything in BIOS by chance ?
Or was it plug n play + modded inf ?
Windows 10 ?

Download DDU(Driver Driver uninstaller): https://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

Reboot into safe mode, remove Nvidia drivers, remove Intel drivers, reboot, install latest Intel iGPU driver, reboot, install Nvidia driver, reboot, try again.

Make sure that Intel Chipset, Management Engine drivers are also installed.

SSE2.0 is a buggy mess, mine will not work randomly after I plug my Rival 300 a dozen times into the laptop because the Rival 300 needs SSE3 and the keyboard only support SSE2.0 so everytime SSE3 updates the .inf get scrambled and SSE2 will no longer detect keyboard.

The same happened after I installed Atmel Studio, and after I installed CodeComposer from TI, every software that mess's with USB drivers will kill my SSE2.0, the solution is simple, just re-install it and reboot.

They are a bit different, mine is Haswell based CPU, no NVMe ssd support and the chipsets are way different, but, given that my display is eDP and not LVDS, and I have been running the 980m in dedicated mode since I bought it(never used the iGPU nor have I the drivers for it installed, even with the 980m always running I can get hover 2h of battery, if just browsing around it lasts for 3h), I'm hopping that it will work ok.

I'm trying to get a 1070 from MSI to test it in my GT72 2QE, I will report back when I have her in my hands.

Even then, its strange if such radically different GPU families share a pin to pin/ball to ball compatible pinout.

The gpu footprint is totally different, if you dont believe me, buy stencils for reballing, one for the 650m and one for the 960m.

I had the same idea, but a much smaller jump, from a 630m to a 640 or 650m, totally different, two extra rows and columns of solder balls.

Your GPU is soldered, there is no way to put a 960m in there.

As far as I can tell there is no magic Pascal Bios Editor, and knowledge about Pascal VBIOS is not much, nor it is distributed information.

Comparing que VBIOS to a desktop one might not be the best thing to waste time given the differences between the systems.

No portuguese in here it seems, I understand, its an international forum and what not..

I cant send you PM's brruno.

When you can receive then I need to talk with you.

The Asus cooling is a bit appaling and even with the ginormous water cooler gimnick it will heat a lot, because the water cooler is just a small chamber that is soldered over the heatpipes so its a pretty poor thermal interface.

The MSI's I have hands on experience with them, and they have decent cooling, but you must use two AC's for full performance.

The Clevo, no hands on experience, but it also seems a decent system and the desktop cpu may be a plus.

That looks like what happens when you use a FHD display with a cable with only 2LVDS/1eDP lane, either your cable is damaged or the motherboard needs extra components soldered to enable the eDP cable/connector.

Run HWInfo and go to the display tab, take a print screen and post it here.

Almost all Intel cards have the same "issue", its the scanwhileconnected key in registry that must be changed to 0, and you will no longer get any ping/lag spikes, because even when connected the card keeps looking for active networks and thats what causes the lag spikes, after discovering that I have edited the registry with regedit and they all perform flawless.

So, finally one thing where Optimus is not the limiting factor, but it kinda helps that its being the middle man to get image to the screen?

Wasn't the biggest problem/limitation the fact that Pascal MXM dont have LVDS outputs?

Did you see that swap performed and working somewhere else?

The keyboard with backlight doesn't have an extra flat flex to power the backlight?

Good evening, I can have a cheap-ish 980m from an MSI, and I already know that the G750 uses a non standard MXM format for the PCB of their card, but is the electrical interface really MXM or do they also swap pins around?

I can make the card fit into the laptop and can cobble a couple heatsink into a working frankenstein, but I dont want to risk and fry the motherboard and or the card if they are eletrically incompatible.

Anybody knows for sure?

The laptop is a G750JS with an 870m.

Good evening, so this Toshiba P50-A as a crappy lcd with BAD colour reproduction and the whites are at best light gray, its getting to my nerves working 8h a day looking into this display.

The model is: AUO B156HTN03.0  

The interface is 2 lane eDP.

I have search a bit in panelook but can't find anything that seems suitable.

I would love to go to a higher resolution for more work-area, but 1440p are ultra rare in 15.6", and I would be limited to 2 lanes of eDP and so limited to FHD.

Any decent displays that you guys can recommend?

The MSI card seems to have the SLI footprint, just no connector, maybe its just a matter of soldering it down, because the GT80 Something something is supposed to have a 1080 SLI option.
