horrible!

Look like my first attempt tomod my heatsink, very bad, but second one was a way better! (First time dremelling work bro? me too)


 

I see the msi afterburner's power spikes look like mine, but I have no fps drops in my games, I cant say much, don't know why we hitting PL on this gpu

GTX 1060 works with LDVS without Problems in MSI GT70,this is not a Problem from the Card.

IIRC it convert trough optimus

hello,

 

I'm facing actually some power limit problems with my gtx 1060.

 

i've noticed  it while playing ESO with msi afterburner.

 

I have a dell PSU 240 W. 

Can you post some screenshot for understand better and comparison with my 1060?

so thats one answer. one thing puzzels me, why does your gpu has only 4gb of vram when it's supposed to have 6?

software bug, in gpuz and in nvidia control panel it is showing correct info, sadly maybe is the same for sli support..
 

no triple pipe copper for 680m was for 100w TDP also on m17xr4

(I also owned one in the past but I preferred m18x r2 for better temp too at that time)

wow nice temperatures, what is your secret ?

 

I've made the same upgrade on my m17x r4 and i have 67 °C when using fire strike.

No secrets here, hwinfo at 4300rpm full blast, remeber to put a small (very small) line or dot of thermal compound, because when it is too much, the temperature

 is worst then a small amount.

Tape on radiator's fin to fan.

IC diamond on GPU.

I'm waiting for new thermal pads and a tep module, when them arrive I'll mount on gpu the 6heatpipe cooler instead of mine (pics will be posted here)

 

@J95

Hey first thank you for great work.

Could I ask you if is the right way to modify nvdispi.inf for my card? Because all previous drivers always seems to install and works in this way but I'm not really sure.
If not, could I ask you to add in next mod??

ehm Thank you again

What overclocks are you guys using ?

 

GPU and MEM or just GPU?

here is +130 on core +100 on memory, 3920xm@4,2Ghz, ram2133cl11

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/12180128

I already asked Klem to insert gpu id micrococode into m18x R2 bios but booting in PEG mode results in 8 beeps sound with no output on screen,

so lvds here is not working but only vga output by chipset translation by igfx.

About SG mode + SLI I cannot help sorry

not that one, but this one



here must be PEG but since the msi 1060 lack of uefi bios, I dont know if it can boot in peg, sure inSG mode yes

1 minute ago, An0npl4y said:

Too bad it can't work with SLI. Do you know if 2 pascal GPUs would be OK, even if not linked with SLI cord? Maybe not because of optimus mode?

you're tempting me with this question..
If only had enough money to try, because if I remember well nvidia removed some sort of support from SLi/xconnect without cable

3 minutes ago, An0npl4y said:

This is very interesting, I thought 1060 could not work in the M18x since it has only LVDS display: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/gtx-1060-1070-1080-upgrade-on-m18x-r2.797282/

 

So it means a SLI of pascal GPUs could work this way in a M18x R2?

No unfortunately because SG mode is not compatible with sli or crossfire.

My thread is also here
 

 

Really?

He's got a 120HZ LCD screen?

I have a 1060 on m18x r2 on unlocked bios and I running it in optimus mode (SG mode from unlocked bios settings menu) and I've installed it on MBR boot (the gpu's lack of uefi vbios)

@Klem

Could you like to modify a bios for me? This one modded by (svl7+Swick) Raidriar.

Please if possible:
 

• Change the Bios default BOOT from PEG to IGFX (if not already done on this bios).
• Embed this gpu id:  10DE-1C60 (msi 1060 6GB)

Hi All! First thread poste here!

Very happy with my beast ..again!

m18x R2 on modded bios (SG mode needed, optimus mode igfx+dGpu)
 

So my msi 1060 from alezka.com (Woodzstack thank you) was arrived yesterday, fast, very well packaged , and with a bit of icdiamond7.

 

Removed (not very well..buyed and used a dremel for first time) the tiny metal square on heatsink , that touch ram on 1060.

 

 

put thermal pads everywhere to match heatsink space.

 

 

 

Absolutely do not tight or strengt too much the gpu because has on his backside a big squared capacitator that push on motherboard

 

 

 

Here 3dmark11 to start benching

OK, it is really an interesting forum, which blackmail a lot of posts to make or donate money. Just to download something.

Anyway. I've searched for a long time on google and found the unlocked bios A05 without being blackmailed.

Thanks for nothing.

Thanks for your nothing I say.

You  didn't read at all that you only need to make 5 useful post, but clearly you are not here to share but only to take, if world were full of individuals like you, you'll never get your issue resolved, so be grateful for a works done by someone else,

you only catch it but you are not hunting a bird without stuff or skill acquired (by time and money).

I hope to not read you again in this way

So, if i upgrade from my 660m to a 1060, my 3D screen wont be 3D (which i dont want 3D)?
Also, I just installed a 3D screen on my m17x r4 (as a "get ready" step for this) which currently has a 660m card in it and Im getting a 6 beep error whenever i try to turn on my laptop.
Will that problem be fixed if i upgrade to a 1060?

 

 

6 beeps usually is a dead gpu or bad inserted or to be cleaned its contact.

What your bios version? (Try to update to unlocked one or the latest)

Try to disconnect cmos battery.

If still not booting:

1st way is to boot only by CPU iGpu (no dGpu phisically inserted)

2nd to do is to re-seat Gpu after the contacts get cleaned, make sure is well inserted and properly pasted.

an ebayer making a similar job to me for a gpu's heatsink of m18x r2...


Are you?

Did you disable driver signature enforcement?


From MS anwers:

a. Press the Win + C and click on PC settings.

b. Switch over to the “Update & recovery” section.

c. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.

d. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now” button.

e. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.

f. Then head into Advanced options.

g. Then Startup Settings.

h. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your computer one last time.

I. Here you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.

Or, Are you sure the strings has proper formatting ?

mine look as:

First of all, thank you for making this BIOS and share it with all of us !

But I have a regret to tell you that my M18x R2 is installed on 1617 of the 980M..  not a version of the 13D7

however, after the refresh of your BIOS file is still not able to switch LEGACY.   BIOS default IGFX can not read 980M. If modified for the PEG will be 8beep.

Could you please tell me how to solve this problem?

 

THank you so much !

@Swick1981

Hi Swick, found same issue here,
so if you would add "id1617" and "id1618" will be great!!


Just for record, switching between PEG to SG made a performance loss from 1,6% to 8,5% as observed in 3dMark11 runs

http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/12047576/3dm11/12044963

UPDATE!


@klem modified for me the m18x r2's bios to accomodate my request fo 970m gsync version, he is a really rare good person







 

On 11/3/2017 at 11:19 PM, Siplast said:

 I think that you are correct in your assessment of the issue being the gsync which was my first thought as well. This is the first gsync card that I recall in this thread. I will pm Swick and see if he might be willing to help. Unfortunately not many who have used his work have helped him so I am not sure If he is interested In further work on this bios. Lets see what he says

yeah, a read a lot of post from him on NBR, I hope he will help me, obviosly I'll going to make a donation if needed. (very little donation made)

Best Regards, and thanks again to help me to find out my issue.

I have only had time to give this a cursory look but I will look into this further tonight and through the weekend. Are you running 32 bit windows 7 or 64 bit?

 

 

Thank you anyway, as you can see from the latest picture in gdrive, yes it's 64bit

On 11/3/2017 at 2:46 AM, Siplast said:

Did you try running ddu to get rid of the old drivers ? Are you getting 8 beeps at start up when you run windows 7 ? Please describe what happens when you start up with bios set to peg running windows 7

Would you post a screenshot of main bios page when running windows 10 please ?

It's not a driver problem because the issue is present at bios changing even with no OS installed.

I erased partition and formatted the disks but after enabling Peg+legacy goes to reboot- showing prema's vbios number- black screen - beeping..

This 970m 6BG is a Gsync version and I think that modded bios A11 need to be updated with its microcode because after switching in PEG (with legacy, because in full uefi its working as intendend but only on win10) all I See is the Prema's vbios number, then the screen goes black and start to beeping

I will help you as I can and usually others here will as well. If Mr. Fox takes and interest he is always a great help.
Mr.Fox is always a precious source (rant vs bga and w10 are welcome too xD ) Bu thanks again for your help and interest.

Please list your specs: cpu, ram, etc.
bios: A11 by  swick1981 and svl7 (The Radriar's one from NBR also tried)
 cpu: 3920xm(ES)@4,2Ghz (0 flex)
ram: 2x4GB Samsung 2133 cl11 T1
gpu: 970M 6GB on Prema vbios 84.04.88.00.C1@stock clocks
ssd: Evo 250GB + Ocz Agility3 60GB
wifi+bt: Killer 1103
psu: standard Dell's psu 330w


Are you running a newly formatted windows 7 and is it 32bit or 64bit. If it is newly formatted was it done in UEFI ?
Not a fresh install, but the OSes where installed in uefi mode (from bios seems the uefi boot is located into EVO250 with win7, not on OCZ Agility3 with w10).


Have you actually read through all of this thread as most of the problems have been discussed?
I think yes, but the knowledge is an infinite learning, like in life, never stop to discover new things.. 

What power supply are you using?
330w original Dell's Psu

 You stated all is working well with windows 10 ?
Yes, all three modes are working well (IGFX/PEG/SG) on pure UEFI with no legacy,  no fastboot and security boot. 


Any additional information would be great In trying to assist you. Hope you do not find my response random I just followed the suggestions In this thread and I have not experienced any issues running windows 7 pro 64 bit in legacy mode UEFI.
As stated before in other thread, I think that my gpu has a slightly different microcode because in windows device manager is identified as:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1618&SUBSYS_05501028
from my research seems to be a Gsync version of 970m, maybe is this related too?

Today Im going to make a snapshot of my OSes in ext.disk and then make a fresh Win7 install in Uefi mode with legacy enabled, to avoid all possible initial issues.


Screen shots of your bios settings would be helpful as well as it cuts down on the amount of questions that need to be asked.
Here you go! Thank you very much
