As I recall from reading this thread, the higher end models that reach higher multipliers, and so frequency, can do it because they are the ones that when made and tested resulted drawing less power and heating up less, and so were labelled as those specific models. On the 2570P, since the power the CPU can draw is limited to around 40W, a CPU that uses more, in this case 45W, but is thus limited to 40W will be, for what matter to us, more efficient that other CPUs at the same multiplier it can reach, but still it will use 40W, unless it is limited to a lower multiplier, so that it can consume less at the same frequency of other worse CPUs. Supposedly efficient CPUs are actually the worse, as the fact that they couldn't reach higher frequencies resulted in them be labelled as efficient models, but to do so they have a limited lower max multiplier, and from tests here it seems that at equal frequencies the higher end models are more efficient.

I finally got around to buy a GPU for an egpu setup, a 560ti, but I'm getting the code 12, I thought this GPU wouldn't have had this problem. Do I need to DSDT override or might it be some other problem? Well I did the DSDT override, but now there's an Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller in the Large Memory. Tried with the bcdedit command, didn't work and killed my WiFi. Tried removing and reinstalling the egpu, didn't work. Would try remove what is occupying the large memory, but it's just a USB icon, the guide says to not remove those. My last chance is getting DIY eGPU Setup 1.35? Wait, it is the same USB that is shown here Should it work then? Saw someonelse here that had a 2570p and a gtx 560ti and code 12, he solved by converting to GPT, I tried the gdpgen utility but my boot partition is gone... Final edit. Had to recover files and format, took the occasion to format GPT, now it works just plug&play.

Hello, I just got a used 2570P, just what I needed currently and really cheap, so perfect on that side. Reading about eGPUs and removable disk drives, I was thinking, would it be possible to make something like the Y500 extra GPU, with a not so powerfull and easily cooled gpu, pass the cable through the inside and reach the other side to connect to the express card slot from te inside still? So that the end result is contained in the laptop itself? Maybe an MXM card? As useless as this might be, being late, I found some fan that would fit on the heatsink, with just 4mm thickness, only problem they're plastic, with operational temperature -10°/+60° celsius, it-s not gonna work, is it? Although,the material for the housing is indicated as L.C.P +30% G.F., which by a quick Google search has a melting onset of 280°C, and heat deflection temperature of 271°C, and the material for the fan itself P.P.A. +30% G.F., with even higher temperatures, so it might work. Model numbers are DB3004 and DB1804, the first being better at airflow, the latter being better looking wise.
