  1. Works flawlessly. Thank you very much, kind sir. I see there is now even higher max clock available; it's a shame that my card starts throwing artifacts at me @~+480MHz anyway. Do you happen to know if this can be done to a GTX760M? The machine is Acer V3-772G, and I've read somewhere that nvflashing the rom won't work and it's the MB BIOS that needs to be unlocked or so.
  2. Hey guys, so I just got promoted, and thus finally given a chance to OC my K3000M (Dell M6700) further than 135MHz. Everything went fine, dealt with the SSID mismatch, rebooted. Did not expect the VBIOS version info to show up in the corner, this kinda feels like good ol' times of Riva TNT2. Then I went into BIOS, disabled legacy ROM and enabled Secure Boot. Boom, black screen. Plugging an external display worked though so I just re-enabled legacy ROM and everything is working fine, though I'm not exactly happy with those few seconds added to boot time by vbios info and legacy mode. Is there a way around this? Also posting my vbios backup here because why not. K3000M-BACKUP.zip
  3. Disabling the graphics card in device manager doesn't make your screen go blank, OS just uses it's basic driver instead, so you see everything but probably in a bad resolution and/or interface may be laggy. I've found some Alienware drivers, try these. http://www.dell.com/support/home/pl/pl/pldhs1/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=4NYM5&fileId=3204468754&osCode=W764&productCode=alienware-m17x-r4&languageCode=po&categoryId=VI Before installing them be sure to uninstall drivers for both cards - using their respective uninstallers, and then in device manager - like this: Don't reboot before installing the new drivers - it's important, Windows may then install drivers from it's own store, and since you're having problems we already know these don't fit.
  4. The "down arrow" on a device means it's... down, disabled. Sleep and hibernation might not work if OS detects any hardware problems or driver issues. Try to remove all the graphic cards along with their drivers in device manager, then install only AMD ones. Intel HD drivers are sometimes included in AMD drivers, and the cards won't work properly unless both cards use the same driver package. I've had some cases like that, the device manager then displays the Intel HD's vendor as AMD. As for the network adapter it's impossible to tell what's wrong, most likely a mismatched driver as well. What's the error code? The "Xeon" thing - 3630QM is a 3rd Gen Core processor, that's the part you should be interested in. Everything's fine. Also it's driver for the PCI-E port, not the CPU.
  5. Perhaps the easiest way would be installing drivers for the laptop in which this card was originally installed. Do you, by any chance, know what model was it? Some Alienwares used this one. You might also want to try and disable Optimus. I can't help with the .inf editing, tried a few times but never succeeded...
  6. +1 for IPA and some paper towel, cotton buds or just a piece of cloth. You may also use a toothpick to clean the grease around the die if there's any (goes off nicely) or the gaps in heatsink. Also, if the grease is already so hard that it won't clean up easily, try to soften it with IPA first - spread some over the grease, wait a few minutes, and you're good to go.
  7. Hey there. I've recently got my hands on a M6700 with K3000M. The +135MHz allowed by stock VBIOS indeed brings a noticeable performance gain, so I'm looking forward to OC it further, though I have some concerns about flashing it. I started with backing up current BIOS (80.04.5A.00.01) using GPU-Z. The moment I've selected "Save to file" option the lower half of the screen started flickering with black and white colors, while OS remained functional (note: this was BEFORE I confirmed the BIOS read). Managed to click OK, then GPU-Z became unresponsive (had to kill the process) while the flickering persisted, fixed it by disabling and re-enabling the card in device manager. Tried again, but this time with all apps closed (maybe there was something using the GPU at the time). Except for the flicker which occured again before clicking OK, everything went well, the device restarted itself and backup was made. Also worked with the card disabled in device manager, and in this case there was no flicker. Now I'm kind of lost though. Obviously I really don't want it to hang during the flash, and I don't know if that flicker is something to be expected. My past experiences with flashing the VBIOS aren't too good either - I was updating a GTX660 in my PC and somehow killed MB's ME FW in the process (resulting in inability to OC the CPU, though I was able to fix it by reflashing too). Please let me know if any of you experienced or want to try and replicate this. I will also try this with another M6700 which has a K4000M inside. Also not sure if it's worth mentioning - the one I'm working on came with an IPS screen, so no Optimus for me. Oh, and one more thing - since the backup felt more stable to back up the BIOS with the card disabled, would it be safer to flash it this way as well?
  8. That's right. Detailed instructions are there: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/quadro-driver-tweak-how-to-make-your-quadro-a-geforce-driver-side.253667/
