iTzZent Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 the MSI GTX870M is 100% compatible. but you need another heatsink for this Card. This : New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX780 GTX770 E31-0406580-Y31 | eBay or this New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX670MX GTX675MX GTX680M E31-0406162-Y31 | eBay without CPU Bridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTzZent Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ah, you've got the 2nd card from 5482741 I bought the first, but unfortunately it is not there yet ... USPS has made a mistake and sent the package as not to be tracked mail, although it was sent as a package , on December 23, it was sent, let's see when it arrives. you need 0.5mm for the vRAM and 1mm for the voltage converter, at this point can the 0.5mm also work... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyboy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I saw your post on 5482741's thread ... and then I convinced myself to buy it I too The card was sent to me yesterday .. when I have news I let you know !! Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac!ent Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi, I also have a 1762 whitebook and I am considering a GPU upgrade (from 675m to 870m), but I have a couple of questions. What bios version do you use ? I have the E1762IMT.10C, would the card work without changing anything? Do I have to take note of something else ? By the way did your new card work ? Thanks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anywaysI'm still waiting for the card .....About the bios you must install E1762IMS.51X, should be compatible with all kepler cards.It is then necessary to change the heat sink as explained in the second post.As soon as I get the card I hope to update you with good news.

Pac!ent Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ok, I have looked up the manufacturer site of my notebook, and didnt find anything. They dont offer any bios downloads (just drivers). I think i will try the ms-1762 unlocked bios from the g-sereis unlocked thread. You said you bought it on NBR, what does it stand for ?

samXLR Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Does any of you know if that 1762 barebone supports the 980m ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyboy Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't know if supports 980m but it's sure that 870m works well. Finally I got the heat sink and I assembled everything, was sufficient to install the latest drivers available and the card works wonders!! Compared to the old 675m temperatures are 10-12 ° C lower .... awesome!! Bye Fabio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samXLR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Funkyboy,Just to confirm, your laptop is indeed a 1762 barebone, and not the retail version?I have spoken with Svet and the way he explained things is that the .51X bios (as well as the .71X bios) are made for the retail version of the 1762 (there's also a version for the 15" 16F3), flashing this bios on a barebone system is in fact "cross flashing", your system is indeed the barebone 1762? everything went smoothly with the bios update to .51X ? what was your old bios version?(mine is still .30U) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyboy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hello samXLR,I confirm that my notebook is 1762 barebone, I bought it from DevilTech. The original version of the bios was E1762IG6.30J.I flashed .51X without problem and all works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stress enough how much this small bit of information was driving me up a wall, I am so relieved to learn that its okay and that I can flash to .51XEdit: Did you have that bios unlocked by Svet? also are you running windows 7 or windows 8\8.1?By the way, did you get a chance to run 3dmark13's firestrike standard test yet?

samXLR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 While I am looking forward to see your 3dmark results(upgraded gpu systems are not very common and when you normally see results for 800 series cards its with systems that shipped with 4th gen intel cpu, so seeing a 3rd gen or even 2nd gen intel cpu + 800 series or 900 series gpu is something both rare and informative, it helps put the value of cpu upgrade (or lack of) in place, similar to z97 desktop "K" suffix cpu + mobile gpu, just goes to show you how things compare)The thing with the OS is that from what I gathered, depending on your eh... this might get a little complicated, well, in short you can either be using a MBR (master boot record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) to tell your computer where your operation system is installed and how to access it (and the different drives of your system), with the later (gpt) being newer and supporting other operation systems besides windows (linux?) as well as drives that are bigger than 2TB.GPT is also somehow assoitied with UEFI which I .. was thinking refered to the new "pretty" type of bios(s) [the ones with support four a mouse and even a browser and .. stuff] but I'm actually not sure.Now from what I understand, its possible that with locked bios your system is "rigged" to only work with one of the above combinations, and should you try to install windows on a fresh disk in another type of configuration it will simply not boot, and the point of unlocked bios for cpus that are locked and cant be overclocked was just for the sake of being able to change this advance boot settings (UEFI enable\disable - for example) and thus enabling you to swap from 7 to 8 and later 10.I am already on 8, but as my other drive is 2TB and not bigger than 2TB I am using the old MBR and .. i think my UEFI is disabled, despite having an unlocked bios.And I am planning in the future to upgrade to windows 10 (I think it kicks ass but... logic\opinions a side) I just don't want to end up being "locked out" of being able to boot a new OS due to bios being locked...I am guessing im just making a mess of all of this technical terms and that everything will just be "alright" when time comes to upgrade to 10 / that if I was to flash .51X right now (despite not yet obtaining a new 980m) that my windows 8.1 would still boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyboy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Here 3DMark results. Next week probably i recive new SSD and i will try to install windows 8.1. bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samXLR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Most impressive results! especially considering that normally an 4700HQ or 4800MQ only score ~4700points, and that your 675M used to score around 2200points, it definitely makes more sense to upgrade the GPU instead of the cpu+gpu, heck you just gained +- an addition of 100% performance! I'll be keeping this thread open in anticipation for your windows 8.1 installation's experience report =p if everything goes smoothly for you than we really are in the clear if you do fresh install, I recommend/suggest that you go with GPT instead of MBR, this might require toggling the UEFI settings in your bios to "enabled" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloetschkopf Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The MS-1762 supports every Nvidia GPU from GTX260M up to GTX 980M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raha Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Hi it also supports ATi HD cards- they are much cheaper to get for your interest: i upgrated it with a ATI HD 7970m- with standart CPU i7-3610Qm you`ll get a firestrike13 nearly 4,6k without overclocking under Windows10- (Windows7 value will be higher than Windows10 because of drivers +200 to +300 points) Edited December 17, 2015 by Raha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloetschkopf Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thats right,but for Ati You can`t modify Your old Heatsink. And Quadro and GTX xxxMX Cards are cheaper with high overclocking Power: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raha Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 you Can modify! 1. You can buy it: Sample: http://www.ebay.de/itm/NEW-MSI-Heat-Sink-ATI-Radeon-HD-7970M-8970M-for-msi-GX60-70-GT60-70-/151834323595?hash=item235a07ea8b:g:9GkAAOSw0HVWDGyi 2. Modify original Heatplate for GTX670m will take only 1 Hour - i will make a description for it with fotos here next days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloetschkopf Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I can modify,but not everyone can. It is nonsens to buy a Heatsink for nearly 75-90€ for a HD9870M when it is possible to use the GTX 670M Heatpipe for a Keplercard like K5000M with the Power of GTX 780M to GTX 880M A K5000M or K41000M is cheaper and it needs only a little more Thermal Paste.

Raha Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) ? The K5000M has a GK104 Chip Kepler-Serie and has the same layout like the GTX680--Not more--else you will overclock it extrem but the layer will stand as it is!! Only 1.344 shader instead of 1.536 like the GTX780M and NO GPU Boost 2.0 http://www.notebookcheck.com/NVIDIA-Quadro-K5000M.76843.0.html i think you are German you can read it by yourself! Why do you think it is a GTX780- 880M? You have to buy a K4100 for GTX780M layout and flash it with new vbios for this! prices are the same - can get it for nearly 270$ in Ebay i only showed how to change it- everybody can choose by himself what card he wants to take (i bought my HD7970M for 60€ in Ebay as defekt and after flashing MSI Vbios it runs like hell....)
