I mean out-of-the-box support for the fresh GPUs to work through EC without any scripts. AFAIK main trouble was dedicated memory capacity that can be shared with the eGPU. Now we have ability to succefully patch any EFI module including DSDT.

It works oob in Linux and Mac Os. Problems only in Windows, I don't think that bios patches can help.

Probably bios can be patched for the modern eGPU support now?..

What do yo mean by modern eGPU ? modern eGPU need thunderbolt. But you always can use expresscard. It works with some performance loss. I tried rx 580 and gtx 1060

read a bit about 12, I'll have to look for 43.

It's all about drivers. Need to use old drivers or fix new drivers by special script

thanks Phobosse, I read a bit over there, what was the tough part about setting it up?

Many people think that plug in card is all that you need for work.  Simple plug in work only in linux and mac os but in windows you need handle some errors, like error 12 and error 43.

it has been quite a while since many of these egpu setups have come out, any latest, greatest  to go with? 99% of the time I use an external 4k monitor, and even when just watching you tube videos you can hear the fan trying to cool the cpu as it gets warm.     wht are guys using these days for a powr supply, video card, express card adapter card, and board for the vdeo card to plug into????    windows 10 here, so just stuff that works for that.

 

if anyone would take a few minutes to put together a list of parts for the egpu that would be great, I've read too much, and now confused.

I used EXP Gdc expresscard + PSU Dell da-2. Works good but it's difficult to set up.  More information you can find at egpu io

At last success  I took the VBT boot screen table from the X230 and also set the boot mode to UEFI with CSM, pure UEFI doesn't work for some reason. I also changed the default LVDS resolution to 1080p and also the BL PWM frequency to 2000Hz. The display works in clone mode now.

Perfect laptop doesn't exi.....

That's awesome )

This is my 1080p IPS mod, still have a lot to do but most importantly the panel works great. Maybe I should get a panel with a bent PCB so that it fits better. The DisplayPort is rerouted from the docking port to panel via a cable from AliExpress.

Wow, so nice ) What happens if you connect an external monitor to displayport, is it work ? and leave link to adapter and ips panel please

Maybe some riser like this one can solve this problem.

LG Display LP125WH2-SLT3 General Features

Response time 35 ms.

SLT2 is not SLT3

But recponse time 35 ms? I'm thinking about AOU B125XW01 V.0 40 pin slim, response time is 6 ms.

17.5 ms. this panel installed in some thinkpad laptops

What kind of IPS? The B125XW02 V0 isn't IPS, it's TFT-LCD.

Hello, if you found any information how to change the matrix success, pls, share it with us. I would like to try that too.

link in my post below

Hi. Yes i read everything. I did not understand why they wanted to change the matrix. Only because of the viewing angles? The response time is very long with IPS

2570p has worst TN matrix with ugly colors low brightness and very bad viewing angles. 2570p is not gaming laptop and don't need small responce time panel. I find some chineese forum with success story IPS installing. But it need some frame modify.

Has anyone managed to find a way of playing back 4k video from their 2570p? I've seen a few USB 3.0 devices that claim to offer 4k video playback but im doubtful...

I don't understand. VLC can't play 4k ? and what device ?

Anyone know a reason why my 2570p won't always power on, usually when cold, when power button is first pressed? if i press it a second time it always powers on and after using it and shutting down it usually powers on first time.

 

I've tested ram and ssd. No dust or other problems with cooling system. Tried swapping battery and ram from my other 2570p which works fine....

Power cirsuit problem, Service centre only can help you.

Please explain.

 

With EXP GDC BEAST i will add external videocard. Will i see everything on my 2570 display or i will have to add external monitor for this?

 

On which chipsets in general it works?

 

Thanks.

I tried three video cards: rx580, gtx 760 and gtx 1060. gtx 1060 only can work with internal display, but on internal display performance ruduced by ~25-30

hi,

 

very nice and interesting forum with a lot of good information. I am interested in using my 2570p with an external graphic accelerator, instead I was looking at this 

https://***********/forums/thunderbolt-enclosures/aorus-gaming-box-what-gpus-do-work-and-which-ones-do-not/

Will this run on mine hp?? 

Of course not. Old laptop doesn't have thunderbolt. But you can use EXP GDC BEAST

Anybody had a similar experience or KNOWS how this can be "turned back" ? Maybe some kext-issue (still the old one) ?

I had the same problem. But I do not remember the solution. Most likely - remove some kexts. And of course all kexts must be the latest version.

It's my kexts list:

ACPIBatteryManager.kext

AppleALC.kext

BrcmFirmwareData.kext

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

FakePCIID.kext

FakeSMC.kext

HSSDBlockStorage.kext

IntelGraphicsFixup.kext

IntelMausiEthernet.kext

JMB38X.kext

Lilu.kext

VoodooPS2Controller.kext

Also, I'm a little stumped at the moment. I bought an esata power to sata connector for the purpose of booting off from my 3.5 sata hdd. However, interrupted boot, BIOS cannot find the HDD, nor does Windows 10 or Mac OS Sierra (I'm on dual boot win10 and macOS). 

 

Is our elitebook providing power on its esata? There is a guide here about booting off of esata and he seemed to be able to boot (or at least made the bios detect his hdd) just by using that special cable. Mine just doesn't work. Any ideas why?

Not enough power. 3.5 HDD need 12v. esata generate 5v for 2.5 HDD

What Ivy Bridge limit?
Intel Ark states that 3xxx RAM limit is 32GB - at least that what it says on the page of the 3610QM.

8Gb per slot limit. 32gb works on 8760w with 4 ram slots

Hello all!

signed up to ask questions in this epic thread!

I recently bought a 2570P - came with 16GB, 850 evo 250GB, and q3610 - paid AUD$190

I have a few questions:

1) I'm also interested to hear from anyone who has installed 32GB (2x16GB) RAM - I had a quick browse of last few pages and this had been asked twice, but could not see an answer :/

2) I'm wanting to upgrade the wifi card - what's the newest I can go? I don't know what the slot is - M.2? I'm wanting at minimum bluetooth 4.2., so ideally an Intel combo card would be nice

3) where can I find a quality 100Wh/9 cell battery?

thanks heaps!

Salut.

 2) Wi fi - mini pci-e, not m.2. I'm install combo card from macbook with mini pci-e adapter of course.

 3) ebay.co.uk but it overpriced

Hi. I'm new owner of this laptop. I found on this topic that 2570p use one line lvds, so use hd+ and fhd screen is impossible. what  options at 1366x768 resolution ? only LTN125AT02 ? maybe exist better ? my laptop without any screen now. and I don't know what to buy.
