  1. i've removed the wire and the sound is working now! but i'm not able to enable the igpu as i see with var mod.. is there any other way to do it ? the 3dmark 06 score is 22000, is possible that the igpu is already enabled but not visible? i think should be much lower without optimus, don't you think? thanks.
  2. Is normal that audio doesn't work when the paperclip connection is on? Can I remove it now? Thanks. Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  3. I tried several times, when i boot with egpu connected the Intel doesn't appear , if I connect the egpu after boot, error 12... Also after setting tolud to 3gb, is Like the BIOS is write protected, the commands doesn't do nothing. After sending commands I have to do something else? Or just shutdown? I have 8 GB ram and gtx9604gb thanks
  4. ok. Your connection is x1.2 meaning that you will benefit if have the iGPU enabled. Do you have an iGPU/dGPU model or iGPU only? If you have the dGPU model do you have Optimus enabled? You can OC your i5 using BCLK OC for almost 5% @ maximum of 3.6GHz ... no unlocked multipliers on any dual cores... I have the igpu version, but the Intel card won't be enabled as I see.. The command setup var are permanent or I must reinsert them at every boot? Maybe I have to change tolud size? But what size I have to choose?
  5. Yes but when i set to enabled I should see the Intel video card over windows, and I don't see nothing..i'll try to set also the primary display , thanks. I'm using pe4c at 2.0 speed connected to expresscard. i have any chance of overclocking my i5-3360m with the o.c. bios? Can I brick system setting some overclock if it's unsupported by CPU? The paperclip can be removed or not ? thanks.
  6. Now i've solved but when I enter setup_var command, the system say: guid not match expected guid , continue with care, successfully obtained setup variabiles.. Offset setup is 0x00 .. But the offset remain always the same and it doesn't change anything Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  7. I've decided to try.. To enable the igpu , so I've done paperclip mod, unlocked flag descriptor , flashed modified bios.. And now I'm stucked on the latest part: the guide say I need to have an USB with grub boot loader and the boot64.efi file, but I've tried some versions of grub for DOS and none of them recognize the command setup_var, if I use only the boot64.efi in boot/efi,I got error cause there isn't any operating system and I have to reboot.. .... What's the problem? Thanks. Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  8. Yes the link is already x2 but the igpu is automatically disabled when I connect the egpu at boot, the compatibility is great, the monitor connected to egpu works in bios too and everywhere without any problems but I'm asking if I'm losing some speed so instead having the igpu enabled. Thanks
  9. I already have connected a gtx960 to my e6430… everything stock.. it works good in 2.0 over windows 8.1 and linux ...But I want more performance cause GTA 5 have some small stuttering playing on external fhd display.. at the moment the internal igpu is disabled automatically, if I'll enable it using var mod or modified bios, the gaming performance will go better or will be the same? Or is better to upgrade my i5-3360m to some quad core i7? Thanks Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  10. my e6430 is working very well.. BUT.. it hasn't any intel amt features as i see or i'm not able to enable it? pressing ctrl-p after post won't work.. any help?
  11. Hi dan. I try your fix like the different combination of the delay swith of my exp gdc beast but still same result. I still need to disconnect my monitor before booting. I even try to put a electric tape to the 22nd pin in my mpcie as suggested from different user as a result, the set up 1.x doesnt recognize any egpu. Do you think its a hardware issue from exp gdc? No, the pe4c do the same thing, is a problem regarding some laptop..
  12. the e6430 is arrived, 8gb ram and i5-3320m, 256 gb ssd, docking station... i've connected at my pe4c 3.0 with an msi gtx 960 4gb and it worked in windows and linux too, the signal goes out from the egpu to external monitor from bios to O.S., GOOD!! in fact the igpu appear as disabled when i connect the egpu before booting, anyway the 3d gaming performances are good, 3dmark06 give me 20800 as score, on lenovo t530 with similar specs, i give 21400 having igpu +egpu enabled, but inside real games, e.g. gta5, the performances was worst than now. i've done some little modding to cool down the cpu cause the fan is always running connecting the heatpipes to metal frame with a thermal pad, and i noticed a slower temperature and noise. any advice? i would increase gaming performances if possible, what can i upgrade? thanks to everyone.
  13. you need to disable dgpu on bios, with a bios commands or modded bios, try to see inside the e6440 thread, i haven't done yet to mine cause it works already fine but there are many mods for that laptops, bye.
  14. The new e6430 (igpu only) is arrived, i've tried and it worked like a champ, the strange thing is that: the igpu appear as disabled from bios, but the performance into gaming are better than in my t530 with optimus enabled egpu (same hardware) anyway, the egpu acts as primary gpu so i can use it also into bios, linux or everywere. no modding until now, my score in 3dmark 06 is 21000 @dan i had the same problem with my t530, i've changed primary for that cause, you can do a dsdt override to solve but is not an easy step..not for me at least, the guides over that forum are very hard to understand, i don't know why.. maybe I’m only a stupid guy.. @CrzyGK how many gpu are shown into device manager? have you tried to disable the dgpu into windows and restart? are you connecting the egpu before boot with no delay? what o.s are you using?
  15. Hi everyone.. My e6430 is on the way, with i5-3320m and 8gb ram, i've bought a docking station too.. maybe it will arrive tomorrow or today, I’ve read the first page of this topic and several pages after but i need some advice: what upgrade cpu is better for egpu purposes and overclock? i don't want to build an extreme warm pc , so i was thinking about an i7-3820qm or i7-3720qm, with +400 mhz overclock i think they will go really fast and are priced not so high.. what is an easy and permanent way to overclock system before windows and without using any partition and software? using a custom bios is not enough? the paperclip method is the right way? sorry for many answer but i always owned lenovo thinkpads and i don't know nothing about dell . thanks.
  16. Hi there, someone can say me what's the record score on 3dmark 06 or firestrike for an egpu connected on express card until now? What's the laptop that scored better? Dell e6430 or what? Thanks. At the moment I'm testing my w510 and t530 ( specifically bought for egpu purposes) with pe4c and gtx 960.. The score in firestrike disabling dgpu in windows is the same: 5200.. And the w510 has only a gen 1 express card and no optimus.. In gaming the performance also is about the same.. Same ram ;8gb, ssd, but different CPU: w510 has i7-920xm and t520 i5-3360m I really can't understand Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  17. Try windows 8.1, i'm trying with mine and the speed is much better than win7 on gta5 Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  18. The latest thing is the Intel driver, try to update it or switch to windows 8.1, and try to make a test with igpu disabled from bios, bye Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
  19. Ok sorry.. Are you using stock laptop power supply and battery? What scores give your windows Wei? I'm interested cause I'm buying an e6430, do you think I must wait? Where are you from? Try also to disable igpu and see what happens
  20. I’ve seen your bench results, the egpu when in x230 goes clocked much slower.. why? do you have overclocked the egpu in dell? with my t530 and gtx960, when i overclock the egpu, i have slower system than stock , try to get the card at same frequency than x230 and try, bye. that's mine http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/11062878
  21. have you tried to select the egpu on nvidia driver under physX? try also to return cpu to factory clock, maybe the overclock make only bad things in that case
  22. I am sure. I have disabled the dGPU (Nvidia NVS5200M) and booted into a Windows with eGPU disconnected. HD4000 confirmed working, then plugged in eGPU (GTX670). Get's detected nicely. Have not done the 3DMark06 test. Don't see the point. My GTX670 scores are lower in FireStrike 13 test than with Lenovo X230. Have you seen if the PCI speed is 2.0 when playing 3d games? You can see it into gpuz while nvidia logo is rotating into nvidia control panel. Set profile to maximum performance and be sure you have the battery installed and the right power supply, Try resetting bios to default official ROM before with no overclock , and try with windows 8.1 clean install. , Can you post your firestrike result with both PC? Bye
  23. I was about to do same step, swapping my t530 (igpu only)connected to GTX960 4g msi to e6430… cause the games was stuttering with high frame rate too(60\35fps).. But was only a problem of Intel hd4000 driver, after updated it the t530 flies at ultra setup on fhd monitor.. Recommended.
  24. Is your x230 able to boot with monitor connected to egpu? Mine t430 not.. My 3dmark06 score are 21500.. Bye Inviato dal mio Lenovo P70-A utilizzando Tapatalk
