Dell Precision M6700 Owners Thread

Actually ANY card with at least 1GB of ram (actually 800~) will work whether certified or not. You just have to add the card manually in the project settings to enable it. The previous "hacking" solution should no longer be necessary.

 

Not able to. The option to use the grapics card is greyed out and defaulted to CPU.

 

*sigh* Just open the file "cuda_supported_cards.txt" inside the Premiere directory and add the line

Quadro K3000M

at the end, save the file and restart your program.

Cheers,
Alex

PS: Dont't forget to redo this after updates of Premiere program files (which may revert that file).

 

Yep. That did it. Thanks!

 

I'm looking at upgrading my RAM memory to 32GB 1866Mhz from Corsair,
since I keep running out on my factory configuration at (4x4GB) 16GB 1866Mhz from Dell/Kingston

HWiNFO64 reports my current memory has a 11-11-11-32 timing:



I noticed there are two versions available from Corsair:

The normal 1.5v:
CMSX16GX3M2A1866C10
Timing: 10-11-10-30 (according to newegg details)
CORSAIR Vengeance Performance Model CMSX16GX3M2A1866C10 Laptop Memory - Newegg.com

And the low voltage 1.35v version (1.5v compatible):
CMSX16GX3M2B1866C10
Timing: 10-10-10-32 (according to newegg details)
CORSAIR Vengeance Performance Model CMSX16GX3M2B1866C10 Laptop Memory - Newegg.com

(I can't find the original Corsair pages anymore, did they stop making them?)

Which one has better performance? Or is there anything better around these days?

I'm thinking about going for the first option, since that's what most of you seem to have gone for, but if the second option would render a better performance, I might as well go for that instead.

 

RAM is going through a huge flux right now so there's always something better. There are modules that push the limits past 1866*, but the question is whether you system will recognize it?

Whatever you choose I'd suggest you get and replace the whole set at the same time. That's what I did. It may not matter with lesser ram where there is a lot more wiggle room, but at the limit things start to get pretty wonky real fast. So better safe, than sorry.


*G.Skill Launches 32GB DDR3L-2133 1.35V SO-DIMM Memory

 

Hi,

Can anyone provide information about how to use the AMT vPro in connection with M6700?

I couldn't find any BIOS menu item in my M6700.
Under Virtualization Support I can only find: Virtualization, VT for Direct I/O, Trusted Execution.

How can I enable AMT?

 

You can only get Intel AMT working if your M6700 came with 'out-of-band system management enabled' from the factory. If you didn't select this option when you ordered your M6700, you can't enable it afterwards.

 

Thanks, yeah, I'm planning to replace the whole set at the same time, all same cards, to the full 32GB (I suppose I can't go beyond that anyway, despite new cards coming out?).
I saw your link of the G.Skill 2133Mhz 1.35V memory, would that really work at the advertised speed? Can the M6700 really be pushed beyond 1866Mhz?

I also saw these Corsair cards at 2133Mhz:
CORSAIR Vengeance Performance 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 2133 Laptop Memory Model CMSX16GX3M2B2133C11 - Newegg.com

I haven't used it myself, but you can check it's status in the "Intel Management and Security Status" application:

 

No you can't. The Intel Core-i7 is limited to 32 GB. It physically can't address any more than that.

It will work at the advertised speed, but not in the M6700.

Again, this is a limitation of the Intel Core-i7.

Follow this link for the specs of your specific Core-i7:
http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75023/4th-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processors#@Mobile

Look under 'Memory Specifications'.

Note that the Core-i7 officially only supports DDR3L at 1333 and 1600 MHz.

These will run at 1866 MHz max. in the M6700, but may also run at 1600 MHz.
