Experience with 680m on M6700, some useful info for the upgraders.

Hey,
It's not entirely clear to me if a stock Clevo 780m or an Dell OEM 780m will work in a Dell M6700 without any modifications (heatsink or video bios).
Also the heatsink from the K5000m works great with the 780M? On the video card's back did you use a heat spreader for the vram or just a thermal pad? How thick was the thermal pad that you used?

Thank you

 

may be i have not enought skill but i have intel management error at boot

my idea is it conflict with idt soundcard.any one know idt is on daughter board?

btw pau1ow is a good seller
from polish forum not clean why they have
Core clock
324 MHz
Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3940XM,Dell Inc.

BTW what difference between clevo and dell card?

 

Got myself a k5000m QS in m6600,pretty much plug and play except moving thermal pad around. Used a x bracket from a hp quadro 4000m.
Got a funny boot screen before post saying it is for engineering release and not for production xd.

Using driver from lv2g, running specviewperf to see if I get the quadro boost. Not sure how to mod dell or official one...zz
Going to wait for new thermal pad before pushing it.

 

@baii does card recognized by bios?

 

Nope, left it on over night and can't turn back on xd, let s hope the card didn't kill itself...

Pffft, back on after a power reset xxdddd

 

hmm.. bad pads placement?

 

Sorry to ask such a nuubi question i have looked online does anyone have a link to upgrading the ram on the M6700 Covet I will be upgrading to 4 8GB sticks of ram and i am not sure how to access the other two memory modules that i think are under the keyboard. Thank you in advance.

Page 29 has what you want - you'll end up backtracking a bit to get at the DIMM slots, but it should be straight forward enough.
