Dell/AW GTX 770M on MS 16F32

[djdblaster]

Would this combination work? GPU is from AW 17 R5.

[hans123]

Should work like charm! Is the notebook from MSI?

[djdblaster]

It is MS 16F32. Shall I assume it should work like a charm?

[hans123]

Hmm thats very difficult. I would ask svl7 if the card work in your machine. What gpu is currently installed?

[djdblaster]

No GPU atm.

[hans123]

Sorry i don't understand is any nvidia gpu installed in your system?

[djdblaster]

There is no GPU atm, but I might get my hands on Dell/AW GTX 770M. That is why I'm asking if it would work in MS 16F3.

[hans123]

Ohh okay bit i'm not sure if the gtx 770m work correctly.

[iTzZent]

The GTX770M works perfect, at least MSI and Clevo version. In the Dell version, I'm not so sure that, because Dell Cards will make very frequent problems in MSI barebones.

[djdblaster]

Is it possible to flash Dell's card without bricking it?

[hans123]

Yes thats possible. i flashed my gtx 680m's from dell several times with the modded vbios from svl7.

[djdblaster]

Well, in that case, I believe there could be already uploaded vbios for it since current generation is 9xxM. Am I right?

Edit #1: hans123: does your GTX 680M work without ANY strange behavior?

[hans123]

I insert a dell gtx 680m in my msi gt70 without any problems.

[djdblaster]

That is great to hear!

[hans123]

Do you have a heatsink for the card?

[djdblaster]

I have the one that came with GTX 670M. Is that one sufficient?

[hans123]

I'm not sure because the gtx 670m is a femi card and the gtx 770m is a kepler card. I would buy a new heatsink for your machine.

[iTzZent]

You need an other heatsink for kepler cards.

New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX780 GTX770 E31-0406580-Y31 | eBay with cpu bridge

New MSI MEDION Heat Sink nVidia GTX670MX GTX675MX GTX680M E31-0406162-Y31 | eBay without cpu bridge

both are 100% compatible with all kepler cards. the first one with cpu bridge has a better thermalmanagment.

the seller offers also an original MSI GTX770M MSI GTX770 M Nvidia GTX 770M GPU 3GB MXM 3.0 N14E-GS-A1 | eBay

i recommend using this backplate for all kepler cards, for ca. 5°C less: MSI Medion Backplate for nVidia GTX,570M, 670M 675M , 680M; E31-10803350-Y31 | eBay

currently I use a MSI GTX870M + with CPU Heatsink Bridge in my MS-16F3, before that I had a MSI GTX770M + without CPU Bridge Heatsink (works now in a MS-1762).

@hans123 the Dell GTX680M with svl7´s Mod Bios has worked in your MS-16F3 without any problems ? Comes the Bios from here? : http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/1847-nvidia-kepler-vbios-mods-overclocking-editions-modified-clocks-voltage-tweaks.html or has svl7 this created specialy for your system ?

Is it possible to flash Dell's card without bricking it?

no you cannot.

This is different for each card. Dell GTX 675M can be flashed with MSI vBIOS, GTX 560M as well.

GTX770M cannot. I've tried on 2 different cards and bricked them both. Neither clevo nor msi vbios work on dell GTX770m

It's a different card layout, chip is the same.

So no, you cannot flash dell GTX 770M with different vbios.

(probably that's why dell 770m doesnt work in 16f2 but clevo 770m works.)

[hans123]

Good to know! But you can flash svl7 vbios on dell cards!

[djdblaster]

So, you're saying Dell won't work in 16F3. Can svl7 do something about it?

[hans123]

I think the card work in your notebook but you have to flash the modded vbios from svl7.

But if you want to go sure ask svl7.

[Bugii]

Good to know! But you can flash svl7 vbios on dell cards!

it depends on which dell card. You can on 675, 560, 570, ...

770M does NOT work. tested.

Not sure about 16F3. It definitely doesnt work on 16F2 (and 1761 for that matter.) - sandy bridge notebooks without optimus.

[djdblaster]

Alright. So shall I just wait for svl7 to see this topic or message him directly?

What would happen if I inserted Dell's card and started up the system?

[Bugii]

What would happen if I inserted Dell's card and started up the system?

You can try.

Chances are it will work!

On 16F2 it doesnt POST. Just stuck on MSI logo. Don't worry, it wont explode

Go ahead and try it out without flashing...
