Guest Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Good catch @tanzmiester That's really weird. I have never seen anything like that on a MXM card before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it is some kind of jumper wire to let the card power up even though it is not a Clevo GPU. I don't know why they did that, but it sure wasn't a very customer-centric move. Stuff like this is really irksome and extremely naughty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not referring to Eurocom adding the wire to make an MSI GPU work in a Clevo in a negative way. I'm actually glad they know how to do that and that's great if it works. I was being critical of Clevo about their doing the stupid EC signal thing in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssj92 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Is it something in Clevo's firmware (BIOS) or is this something in MSI AND Clevo's vBIOS on their new cards though? I think this was a new thing with Pascal cards and Maxwell didn't need anything like this, so it could just be with the newer Clevo and MSI pascal cards.

Guest Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure it is nothing but a new way of shafting customers with proprietary technology. So, if Eurocom figured out a way to give 'em the nasty finger, and using whatever GPU they feel like using in a Clevo, then more power to them.

But the EC thing has been there on the 980's as well. Only thing is that it already comes with the hard mod. I'm guessing GPU Boost 3.0 is the culprit here. Since the cards need access to full thermals and system cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran 880M SLI for a day or two in the P870DM-G and it worked fine, so I am thinking that the EC crap must not apply to pre-Pascal GPUs. I hope Brother @Prema can strip all that silly crap out of the vBIOS so Pascal doesn't need to do anything except follow orders and do whatever we tell it to. I really don't care for dynamic clocking BS and never have... really stupid when hardware is allowed to make decisions instead of explicitly obeying orders.

Im not sure he can get rid of it , since it probably needs access to the EC for proper monitoring and "throttling" But @Prema is a magician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 @Prema, do you know why that wire is needed? That's the loop to fool the vBIOS that an EC signal is present...wonder who told them that.

Also older Clevos with 60Hz panels like my old P570WM. Does anyone want AMD notebook GPUs any more, considering they are so weak in comparison? It looks impressive to me.
