Re: 770x problems after CPU Upgrade

Re: Mini review: Advanced Dock with T60p

You should try the nando's .inf mod for nvidia optimus drivers. I think it could help you. Take at look at this forum for more info :

Re: Mini review: Advanced Dock with T60p

Hi eyeland,

I personnaly bought a GTX460 and PE4H. Simple and fast. I can play Crisys 2 with high graphics level (1680x1050). Same thing for Sleeping Dogs. This is an extraordinary thing ;)

And I sold my advanced dock ^^'

Good luck !

Re: Mini review: Advanced Dock with T60p

Yeah, you're right, but actually, I don't think the CPU changes anything on working issues. 50W tdp is too close from the limit, that's why it works for some people and did not work for others. I'm planning to do this kinda installation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VODw8ROJ6bg Or else, I'll buy ...

Re: Mini review: Advanced Dock with T60p

I think the 2Gb version is consuming more power... It's the only reason I see about my problem... Well I wish you to enjoy it ;) PS : I maybe have the answer : the T400 needs more power than T60 or T61... So maybe it reduces the 50W limits to 40W or somthing like this ! What do you think about this ...

Re: Mini review: Advanced Dock with T60p

Hi there ! I have a "hd6570 which looks like the 5570". It doesn't works with my T400 and Lenovo advanced dock. Looks like it needs too much power (the base reboot every 5 seconds, and nothing is visible on the screen)... Is there anybody here who could advise me a working card for the t400 ? Thanks...

Re: T400 with a full docking station?

So, somebody told me this card (hd6570) have a too high power consumption for the docking station... That's why it suddently reboot without showing anything. Is there anything I can do to improve the dock himself ?

Re: T400 with a full docking station?

Well, I'll let u know how it's going in few days... But I'm seriously thinkin about gettin a pci-e/expresscard adaptator for 90$... It will be far easier and I won't have the "16x--->1x" loss of velocity... And I'll be able to plug really "powerful" gpu's !

6670 looks really cool yeah ! Good luck !

Re: T400 with a full docking station?

I'll try this on another computer tomorrow I think. For the threads, I've already read most of them I think. And I'm pretty sure I've done the things correctly. The only thing I noticed is that I'm the only one who have a t400 or t500 with it. The only one that apparently doesn't works... My interna...
