  1. Past hour
  2. UFS 5 storage will be arriving to Android https://www.gsmarena.com/ufs_50_announced_with_double_the_performance_over_the_previous_generation-news-69827.php
  3. That level of caring died when EVGA left the building. Their competitors never gave a damn, and now there is no reason for them to even pretend they do.
  4. New update, I have since bought a new 330watt power supply, this has not resolved the issue with the adlink Rtx 5000 card, under heavy load it must be power spiking and shutting itself down, card reaches around 68c using duronaut paste and a full copper cooler. Other options I currently have is to see if I can manually set a lower power target through shell commands or see if I can fit a shunt mod just not sure what I'm looking at as the information on this is sketchy at best and don't want to fry the card. Any help would be great.
  5. Today
  6. Hello, I have 2 of these available CNC custom heatsinks with 4 heatpipes and copper plates. Compatible with the newest offset center RTX cards.
  7. Willow ATLAS - and the sheep started clapping Because...what a voice! ..and message
  8. Do people still know which unlocked and updated BIOS works for this unit? From discussions before, Prema has no updated BIOS outside the one I got since the laptop was first purchased years ago.
  9. If you think about it from the inside out there is no reason to bin anything at all for quality considering the current market forces in play. I'm sure the cynical outlook might be that they are binning server gpu's and we get the left overs. I doubt they are binning anything at all for any interested party since the demand is so fierce and prices making all the shareholders quite happy. I was thoroughly surprised to see that my 3090ti was numbered and also tested for its clock speed which was written on the frame of the GPU die (#1479 and 2055 if memory serves). I'd be lying if I didn't entertain selling the thing an extra 1200-1300 is a fair bit of spending money. Decided against it, plenty of uses for a 3090ti. Pretty happy that I was able to find an unused ek-wb for it they should pair up nicely someday.
  10. Might be fake but this is not the craziest idea I've heard of
  11. Hello, you can still buy it and maybe sell the M17X. I had bad experiences with M17X R4s and M18X R2... The M6700 is compatible with the RTX Turing from HP with eDP 120Hz 3D. Best you could do in PEG is the RTX 5000 from HP. M6700 is stable and pro looking. The Alienware M17X R4 eDP isn't! I tested with an RTX 3000 from HP 8 beeps, as well the RTX 4070 MXM, 8 beeps. Yes I cleared both laptops CMOS before installing a GPU. Can sell you with the Quadro M5000M one or with the GTX 970M for 350€ I also sell an Alienware 17 R1 LVDS with eDP connection motherboard. The screen I have should be compatible with it.
  12. Yesterday
  13. @Developer79hello It seems that I’m going to start searching now for the right 4K monitor… and it also looks like you’re getting close to finishing the development process, my friend.

  15. So I got annoyed that the laptop would only run 2666mhz on my ram so I tried enabling XMP 1, now it won’t boot. it’ll start, keyboard RGB flashes and fans all spin up, when they quieten down and it would normally boot the screen stays black and the keyboard stays steady blue. I’ve tried FN+D, I’ve removed the CMOS battery and still no change. Is there a way to reset the bios some other way? I assume using different ram would force it to change the settings to “auto” but I don’t have any other devices with DDR4 SODIMM. Should’ve just played some Stardew Valley and told my brain to be quiet. Edit* Turns out ran was installed in slots #2 & #4, didn’t even think about it when I re-pasted it previously. Took the ram out, got side tracked cleaning all the filth out (trust me to clean when I should be diagnosing / fixing), re-installed a single stick into slot #1, it boot looped a few times before popping up with a “memory change detected” and booted! Both sticks now in their proper places and to top it off they now run at their advertised speeds of 2933 19-19-19-47 on auto without any input by me. Looks like PCSpecialists installed these in the wrong place when building it out for the original owners. I’ve missed playing with a “PC” but I’m already starting to see why I went to a console, I just can’t leave things alone and although I learn a LOT I end up causing myself issues along the way lol. Now the panic is over, anyone in the UK have a source for BOE09D9 1440p screens? All the vendors I’ve tried only say they’ll send whatever “comparable” screens they have available, seeing as this is all new to me I’m not sure whether the extra hassle is worth having G-Sync functional, can anyone provide some input?
  16. Jay disappointed in the Lightning.....and also experiencing the disappointment of a 1000w BIOS meets a 1.030v bin...... 1.030v stock 1.045v maxed Crashes at 3200 Locks at +300 slider Remember last year when I kept saying voltage and stock voltage was important early on here and over on the OCN forums? As we've seen, they go hand in hand especially now that all these 800w/1000w/1200w/2000w BIOS are in the wild. The fact MSI didn't even bin the chips for voltage to at least complement the 800w/1000w BIOS files for normies is crazy. If you're needing EVC2 for a $5500 card after tax to try to even attempt to get your 800/1000w where it needs to be, something is wrong. I'm fine with most FE cards being the baseline for its price and they can afford to be trash voltage bins for the most part, but $5500? Fail MSI. Fail. Timestamped:
  17. With no jobs, no more gaming due lack of parts for your computers you can instead spend all your time on the gym. AI save your health so you can spend even more time on the gym😀 Give a huge thanks to Musk, Altman, and Bezos. Being a slave is better than die young due bad health. Isn't it? 🤔

  19. Hello. I do have a few Maxwell MXM if you want. GTX 970M and 980M. Compatible with LVDS and eDP. One is a Clevo and one is a Dell.
  20. cool, was considering M5000M vs 980M upgrade for my machine hence the ask as i have LVDS. i mean id love a 10 series, but without DC (or equivalent) i'm stuck.
  21. Hi everyone, thanks very much for the replies so far - really appreciate the help. I’m actually away for a couple of weeks at the moment, so I won’t be able to test anything until I’m back, but I wanted to clarify a few things in the meantime so I know what to try first. Just to recap: the system boots fine on Intel integrated graphics if I remove the MXM card completely, but with the 980M installed I get immediate 8 beeps and no display. A few questions I was hoping you could help with: Is a Clevo GTX 980M known to cause 8 beeps on a stock M17x R4 BIOS if the system is set to PEG? Which BIOS version is generally recommended for the 980M upgrade on the M17x R4 — stock A11/A12, or unlocked BIOS? Does the 980M need a Dell-specific VBIOS to work properly in this machine, or should a Clevo VBIOS work as long as the system is in SG mode? If the laptop boots on Intel graphics with no MXM card installed, does that confirm it’s the 60Hz Optimus board (not the 120Hz/PEG-only version)? Has anyone successfully run a Clevo 980M with the copper backplate still installed in an M17x R4, or is removing it generally required? When I get back, I plan to check BIOS version and graphics settings properly and try the suggested steps. Thanks again for the guidance -just trying to understand the correct direction before I start flashing anything.
  22. were both yours in LVDS screens? not that DC screens should behave any different.
  23. Maybe someday I can be bothered with Memory tuning, but its not going to be today, or tomorrow, or the day after :) I enjoy overclocking to yield tangible gains in gaming. Looks like PCIe Bifurcation works on my Aorus ITX x570. That being said I had to scrunch up the ribbon cables so much for the test that I think it was rendered non-functional. The 7900 XTX wouldnt show up at all and the 3090Ti was misbehaving quite severely reporting the link at PCIE 2.0 But it POSTed! so thats progress of a sorts. Got a shorter ribbon (60mm) so hopefully that works i'll test this weekend.
  24. If I hadn't just bought a M17x with the 3D screen I would have probably taken you up on this.
  25. LOL. Surprised @Mr. Fox🙄 Microsoft disappoints again: the Windows 11 speed test arrives with KB5077241, but it's not an app, it's just a link that takes you to Bing. Microsoft launched Windows 11 in 2021, and it wasn't the success they had hoped for. The operating system was in poor condition, riddled with bugs and problems.
