*HP ZBook 15 Owners Lounge*

Hi guys,i own a zbook 15 g1 with following specs :
i7-4800MQ
16 GB Ram
Quadro K1100M
256GB mSata SSD
1TB 5400RPM HDD
and i want to know that ,if i purchase a firepro m5100 (like one in the zbook 15 g2) and replace it with my k1100,
then the new gpu is going to work normally or what ?what about fan speed problems? (like this https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/amd-m5100-on-Zbook-15-g1/td-p/5593181) or probably bios and vbios problems?

 

Based on my experience with the Gtx 1070 notebook mxm If the EC of the system board can't properly read your GPU's temp it will probably assume the worst and rate your GPU temp as 85c the fan will default to 100% unless you over ride it with a fan control program YMMV

 

well thanks for reply.

 

Hi guys.
Got a ZBook 15 with k610m. I noticed that it had a few pixels (1 pixel line maybe 1 cm long), periodically flickering in a line on the bottom left edge of the screen (under the windows 10 start logo).

Was only a few pixels. When I disabled Quadro and ran intel only - the issue disappeared. Obviously just a few pixels are affected. Though is this an early sign of graphics failure?

 

Does anyone have a spare keyboard i can buy off them please?

 

I just picked up a ZBook 15 refurbished from OfficeDepot.com for $369. It has a 4800MQ and Quadro K1100M and it works great. I replaced the crappy mechanical HDD with a 1TB Samsung SSD and that really perked it up. This fan control software works great as well. Thanks for sharing that back in 2014.

This machine is old, but it great shape and the build quality is impressive. For $369 it beats the stuffing out of the Samsung turdbook that I paid a lot more for, then returned for a refund because it was so wimpy. For the price, hard to beat. Anything newer in the sub $1000 price range is pure garbage.
