MaxPowerus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Is it possible to install a M290x on the p150em? I saw one for really cheap. I was thinking about upgrading. It's from an alienware. Will it still work?Also, my right usb port is broken. Can someone point me out which replacement I can use to solder a new port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Should work, but can't promise that it does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPowerus Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I heard it's pretty much a 8970m so I guess it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes it is, worst case you can even cross-flash the card with a 8970M Optimus vBIOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPowerus Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thank you I will give it shot buying it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Didn't you say it was an alienware version though? Usually Clevo systems cannot read the AW temp sensor and shut down after a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, only Clevo AMD cards work, no matter what vBIOS...spaced that sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPowerus Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Alright good to know, didn't buy it yet. Also regarding the usb port. If I buy a replacement online, any will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If the port only has physical damage then YES, just find a standard replacement port on ebay or desolder one from something else to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
