Thanks for the tip—I would never have thought of that 😁 Yeah, I have all the options in the BIOS. The way I use my laptops, it’s not a problem—they’re almost always plugged into the charger. But maybe I should give it a try and set the charge limit to 90%. Let’s see if that triggers the error.

More than that. How many options do you have? Standard Adaptive ExpressCharge AC Primary Custom charge Because you can get the TDP unlock bug to work without needing to reach the 100% level by manipulating the Custom charge values. You can stop charging in the BIOS and set your laptop in "Idle" state and that's how you can unlock the TDP. In "charging" state, you can't unlock the TDP. The K KYUER battery I bought works with this mod (have the 5 options) but sadly it's not available anymore on Amazon. I bought another unknown battery, same FV993 but it doesn't have any advanced options... I bought 2 another batteries to test with. All have the blue color. One is a FV993 97Wh and the other one is a 60Wh one

Hi! Could you clarify: how noticeably did the sound improve after this upgrade? What exactly improved, in your opinion? Are all the audio ports working and any issues with jack sensing? I'm looking at the datasheets: the main difference between 92HD9x and 92HD8x is the replacement of the Class AB power amplifier with a Class D amplifier. And the closest equivalent to 92HD81 is 92HD91 (there's no datasheets for 80 and 94). 🤔 Does this upgrade make sense if the original audio processor is working properly?

You mean this ExpressCharge? Yes, I can enable that in the BIOS.

Does your battery have settings on the BIOS under the Power Management section? Like you can set a custom charge %, set 4 different modes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process. I have PL1/2 set to 70W. Before the Time Spy test and afterward, I check the TDP with Throttlestop benchmark. I also check under “Limits” to see if anything is being throttled. In my case, nothing is reset, the CPU consistently draws 70W. The battery isn’t the original one—it’s one I bought on eBay. The BIOS is in UEFI mode and is version A26. I’d be happy to test the same thing today with an M6800 and P4000 as well. So far, I haven’t noticed anything unusual there either. And in case it matters, the CPU is a 4980HQ PL1/LP2 47W/58W.

@ninjaturtle So, was the p5000m a plug and play ? did it work ? I am trying the same upgrade

Did the CPU reset the TDP unlock bug? Did you try to run TS Bench after the TimeSpy? Do you use the FV993 battery? The one that we can control its settings on the BIOS?

Standard run, including the CPU test. Maybe it's due to the total power consumption? I tested all of this using a 180W Dell power supply.

The CPU test?

Hi. Sorry for the late reply—I finally got around to it yesterday. I tested it on an M4800 edp with a T1000. I didn't experience the problem; I ran the test three times. But my GPU has a maximum TDP of 50W.

That's just the MXM standard of 10A, they copied it from their reference sheet probably. These arae the ones with the external power connector ? The connector is the same as the one in the XM and KM ? Yes I would agree with this, the simplest way to find out is to use a multimeter and touch one of the big pads while the computer is on, there isn't much risk as the pads are big and an accidental short to ground is unlikely. If this is the case, that it is not connected, the fix would be to solder a wire from the main power rail (19v when the charger is plugged in, 12v when the battery is), the other voltages, 5 volts and 3.3v are probably connected as they don't have an "NC" marker.

yeah

I have not had much time to do anything with the Raider either. My wife's Ford Explorer needed a new water pump, and that meant all timing components had to come out (and many replaced due to mileage). Its finally back together but still needs the active grill shutter to be replaced as well so that is next weekends project. The Raider generally does fine with the previous tuning config which focuses on low VSOC. Sometimes I still get the 10 seconds of lag / stuttering but I am hoping that is just video driver issues. I did get a Video TDR failure bugcheck reboot the other day but unsure if it was driver or ambient heat related issue. It may need PTM redone anyways as I probably messed it up when I pulled the heatsink to swap the display. I technically need to pull the heatsink again anyways so I can properly slip the hinge covers under the palm rest which is only possible before screwing down the hinges. Not exactly the best design but still way easier than pulling the display apart to swap the panel itself. The "new" 2026 G16 SKU with the same specs is much higher price so I think you got a great deal there. It was an open box correct? Hopefully you can at least stability test it before Amazon's return period lapses. G-Helper should work fine best I can tell. Others with the 9955HX variant reported usage results on Github so I cannot imagine the HX3D variant being any different.

Do you have a part no. or any more info on the fan you suggest.

I think he is water cooling to use a 4080 or a 4090 which would be 150w or better

The Laptop SuperMG is speaking of is Clevo P775TM and I think he designed custom water cooling for his laptop that Cicichen from ebay and Amazon is building for him

Was able to get flex ratio to 32 after disable and boot back into bios but the 3940 i have would not go past 4.6. I guess ill borrow the 2133 from my other m18x r2 and just populate 2 sticks in the bottom instead of 2 up top and two on bottom. This should increase my oc and make it more stable if I tighten the timings. I also have two other 3940xm's stored away loose and one in my M17x r4. Looks like a project for the weekend. Thanks for the input !

If it's cold, it means no power. VRAM and Core are cold. P3000 has a strange behavior. It's cold too but makes the laptop shutdown 5-6 seconds after powering on. Meanwhile the 3080, 4070 and 4090 standard MXM are all cold but don't make the laptop shutdown, it stays on idle.

Yeah, i had to modify my palmrest also since it looked aesthetically unappealing and i didn't want any pressure on my keyboard/GPU.

x-vision just got in listing the rtx 50xx series. @SuperMG for your preoblem, do u have all voltage on vga ? some voltage maybe is misisng ? vcore, memory and so on...

The custom cpu heatsink has a copper radiator/fins while the OG one only has an aluminum one. One of the m18x r2's that i have (my secondary unit) has the same model 3940xm, same model cooling pad and same thermal conductors. Only difference is that it has a gtx 1080 and the CPU is not as OC'd as my main rig (all cores being 46) and OG 3pipe heatsink and it STILL gets much hotter than the one in my primary rig that has the copper radiator/fins. I mean, this is my experience with this custom heatsink anyway. Could be that some people got a fake copper radiator one? I have heard of that happening. But cicichens never done me wrong (My only gripe is he cant/wont make me a custom heatsink for my 17x r4's 3940xm ...yet lol). Could also be that the CPU i got for my secondary was maybe used. I dont remember if it was or wasn't since it was a few years ago, but i just upgraded my primary rig to a newer/open box 3940xm. Could also be i dont use that other rig nearly as often as my primary as its my secondary and PTM 7950 gets better and better the more you use it. I got mine up to 4.79 GHz (see my Task Manager pic). All cores being set to 48 and the flex video being 48 (BIOS reference pic). I have the flex at 49 now but i dont see much a difference in performance, but im too lazy to change back to 48 lol. I will probably change it back to 48 the next time i have update my RTX 3080 since i have to lower my OC because having it so high blue screens my machine every time i update the GPU. I do recommend getting a stronger adapter for your rig though if you plan on going that high with the CPU seeing as that GPU is power hungry and idk if you can OC that high (while having that GPU) with the 330w adapter. Last time tried to do that it was all cores and flex at 47 and games/browsers/other apps would close randomly out of nowhere every time, so i just assumed it was a power issue (and i had the Quadro P5000 in my main rig at the time). If that 780w adapter is too expensive (I dont blame you) I have seen a 400w adapter in my Ebay feed. Maybe that would be good for it both those components? Wait, theres also a fan mod for the RTX 3080? First time ive heard of it. Where do i get? That water cooling for an m18x r2???

And the cynical part of me wonders how many of these GPUs are stock they held back to create fake demand that were produced before the RAM prices got all effed up and now they are functioning as first-party scalpers, screwing their "customers" just because they can rather than passing on actual production costs as necessary to maintain an operationally viable profit margin. I have nothing to base it on, but my belief is all of them until there is evidence that proves otherwise. Hoping for the best, but always assuming the worst, is the best approach. (That assumption is frequently accurate.)

DM me if you interested. Perfect condition
