Saw that too. The IMC has me saying nah lol. Besides my current chip has been flawless at 5.7Ghz P, maybe that chip could do 5.8? Maybe. The thing about SP, is that the number doesn't always tell the full story. Sometimes chips just fail to scale with the voltage headroom they should have left.

not yet, bcs everything is running well, will do in winter when im bored but atm im more outside n enjoy the weather with the dog. been in south france last 2 weeks of june, n used my 7720 as gaming laptop, even acutal games was running well(FSR balanced / quality, depend on game) with the P5200, n been 32°c. ambient there n CPU / GPU never throttled while gaming, fans was max. at 80%.

I just finished the build at 02:00 AM. Started about 7:00 PM. I am very glad I went with SFX. It would have been super difficult with ATX and the 3070 would have been a tight squeeze. The side fan/radiator bracket is the perfect place to install a 120mm RAM fan, and I did. I'm pretty pleased with the wire management. I did not have enough room between the GPU and floor to install 3 bottom fans and I saw one video where the GPU temps were higher with 120mm fans under the GPU. I did manage to get one on the floor at the front and put another intake fan on the rear I/O panel, so I am hoping it has a least a little bit of positive pressure. Everything is ventilated. It looks nice. I will take some photos tomorrow. Hopefully congrats will be in order rather than condolences. Will find out when it gets here. It is more than I wanted to spend as well. If it is better than what I have it will definitely be delidded. It won't float my boat no matter how good the silicon is with the stock solder/IHS. Temps are just too much better a delid, even if you're just running it at stock clocks. At this point I consider a delid to be SOP for AMD and Intel. Every system I have built since 2015 has been delidded and bare die. Yeah, crazy. Yes, nothing changed other than delid and installing the Mycro Pro Direct Die block. I am going to remove the crossflow radiator and install the Alphacool 240 D5 distro that I replaced with the Radikult Customs 240 distro in the O11D Mini V2 and flush the system and then I will see how far I can push it. Maybe Sunday if I can get everything done tomorrow. I am waiting for a Supercool direct-touch memory block to get here and then I will replace the stock TeamGroup Xtreem 8800 CUDIMM heat sinks. Too many projects.

I did try taping the pin but it was still doing it... Maybe I didn't do it right? Would it also need the thermal alert pin to be covered as well? I don't know a whole lot about mxm signaling, though I have read about that section.

What if we don’t unlock it, but just find the hidden offsets and try to read them from RU.EFI? Since they’re hidden in RU.EFI, the important offsets show up as FFFFFF.

Hi, Yes this is the same method as on this thread but the mod is done on the motherboard. Counting the pins on the second picture, pin 27 is actually the 9th pin after the big ground pad of MXM slot, so his method is also blocking the PWR_LVL signal from being sent to the MXM gpu.

It's useless without any information as to how to bypass boot guard, or if pch was swapped, etc. like I said, I can take a spi dump, unlock it, but when you flash it, your laptop will brick due to boot guard

This machine holds up so well especially with the QTJ1 . Mine at least doesn't instant hit 92 c when over to 4.8 all core with single core 5.2 and dual 5.0 it hits 84 c fully loaded . The only gripe with the p870tm1 even gsync is 75 hz screen limit that has terrible pixel response time

unlocking bios is easy. I've done it. the PROBLEM is the PCH. It has boot guard. only way to flash unlocked bios is to remove PCH using BGA station and replace PCH with one without boot guard. Unless someone else has found a way to bypass boot guard on 9th gen cpu. I think only 8thg gen and older has been bypassed. I cannot flash bios because the laptop won't accept it.

If you ever find a way to unlock the bios, let me know! I would like to do the same lol

Microsoft confirms every Windows PC is trackable and how it can lead to your arrest Microsoft has confirmed that Windows installations include what is called a Global Device ID (GDID), a persistent, unremovable identifier that links a user to a specific Windows installation. This so-called GDID was a revelation that emerged as a byproduct of Microsoft assisting authorities in catching a cybercriminal, as Microsoft provided the GDID to authorities to help identify a suspect.

Some of the more compact cases allow full size (within reason) ATX PSUs, but once you start building into smaller, more compact rigs, the SFX (and even SFX-L) PSUs seem downright tiny in size and weight. Another plus is they usually come with much shorter, flexible and lighter cables making snaking them where you want easier. When builders are really pushing for as compact, light and streamlined as possible, they will even order custom length SFF cables to really clean up the insides and shave a few more ounces off the total weight. For your Lian-Li Dan, it will make it so much easier to work in even stationary. For myself I can't even imagine lugging around a mATX case with a full sized power supply in it. I'm trying to calculate every last bit of weight possible to keep everything sane in weight to cart around. Scoring the extended warranty is really nice. I know every time I've used MSI RMA going back to 2010 it has been pretty straight forward and always resulted in a great outcome. I had a hunch the IMC was a bit weaker needing that extra VSOC but as long as you can get 6000 going that's always a good baseline. I'll be interested to see how far you can push it or if it can go as far as the 7945hx3d which did ~6400. I had a chance to pick up a 5080 variant used for $2450 but I passed. I noticed BHPhoto has the 5080 version of this for $2999 out the door (free shipping and I have Payboo). 5080 is just too close to the 5070ti in the Alienware 18 to pull the trigger. I might be recalling incorrectly, but I think the 7945hx3d used a standard thermal paste so the newer fans and using ptm definitely will help. I have to go back to MC, so I am going to play around with their Raiders and Titan refresh they have on display to really ramp up the fans. How has WoW been on it even at 4k? Congrats Brother! I hemmed and hawed over that chip for days but decided to pass even at $960 but for that price you're getting retail pricing with a known, much better sample overall so that's a win/win. I just didn't want to spend $1k on a CPU at this juncture with so many toys in play. Looking forward to the results. I expect a delid incoming once it passes all the @Mr. Fox checksums. I saw that really nice SP96 270k on the marketplace over there but that IMC really took the wind out of my sails. If it could boot even 8800 I would have picked it up but it only boots 8400 at stock with an MC rating of 41. Feels like that initial 265k I had all over again that couldn't even do 8600 stable juiced and could only boot 8400 stock. The one I picked up from @Talon boots 9066 at stock no problem. The second 265k booted 8933 no problem both G2. That is a majorly insane temp reduction. Both on the same loop? See how much headroom it gives you now.

That's fair, been trying to see if there is any way to remedy the issue. The laptop runs great when the issue isn't occurring.. I did also see something about messing with the power or thermal alert pull up resistor? It's in this link at the end: https://notebooktalk.net/topic/2195-rtx-3080-in-m18xr2-should-i-do-it-lol/page/11/

What I mean is that I’m looking for something optimized and hassle-free. This panel can be installed as a standard replacement and is more compatible with the overall design and functionality of the R1. Of course, the 4K 60Hz panel can also be installed without replacing the cable. My main goal in buying this laptop is simply to learn, create content, and enjoy owning such a unique laptop. I’m based in Iran, and I bought all these parts from the US and UK at a very high cost and went through a lot of trouble to get them into Iran, since international shipping to Iran isn’t available. I really enjoyed seeing that you’re collecting these parts as well. I’m seriously looking for a way to unlock the BIOS on my laptop. I found a guy from Germany who managed to unlock his BIOS, but he didn’t provide any explanation about how he did it. If I can unlock the BIOS and gain full access to all the hidden settings, I’m going to do things with this laptop that would make even Dell itself freak out! 😄

Yes if you could tell me how to do the registry mod

Wow, by far the easiest delid I have ever done using the Thermal Grizzly Delid Die Mate and the Die Mate heater. Removing the residual solder from the die after delid was also much easier because there was less of it. Most of it stayed on the IHS and hardly any left on the CPU die. And, as always massive thermal benefit to bare die. The temps are fantastic. Cooler temps = less voltage and power, higher clocks... profit by every measurement. I am pretty sure I could use the heater to delid a Ryzen CPU with 75% less time and effort if I were to use dental floss to cut the glued spots.

I still need to test this, probably with rtx 4090 + aw17 first since it's easier to disassmble

if I cared about gaming, I would have not sold my Area-51m 18 with rtx 5090 mobile, or I would buy a RTX 5090 in my desktop. I have 2xRTX Titans in SLI with Xeon W7-3465X on my desktop with 4K 120hz TV to game. For my purposes I need 4K panel for resolution and color accuracy. most of my computers are for collection/upgrading

I bought a graphics card for 50usd, it has a p4200 mobile gpu chip, will your tool work?

Link panel : https://www.blisscomputers.net/ne173qhm-nz1-v8-1-v8-0-qhd-40-pin-17-3-240hz-lcd-screen-msi-stealth1713017-149434/ Video showing the replacement of the standard Area-51M R1 display panel with a 2K 240Hz panel. You can find the panel model and the product link in the video description. In my opinion, this could be a better option than the 4K panel, especially for gaming, since it offers a higher refresh rate and is much better suited to the RTX 2080 GPU. If you’re also using an AGA, it should be more than enough for gaming. 【外星人2019款51m升级2K 240Hz刷新率电竞屏-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/VZX5rbF

I found a Chinese website that shows how to easily get 3200MHz RAM running on the Area-51m R1 by enabling XMP. If any of you have 3200MHz RAM, please check it out. My RAM has a base frequency of 2666MHz, so I haven’t tested this method myself. If you have 3200MHz RAM and you’re stuck with a lower memory frequency, watch this video. I’ll post the link below. 【外星人Area 51M R1/A51MR1笔记本解锁BIOS超频内存3200 CL17教程-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/HcuDNEI

So, I bought a 9950X3D2 on overclock.net that has what appears to be a stronger IMC and better V/F curve than either my 4585PX or 9950X. I will find out if it was a stupid waste of money after it arrives on Saturday. I hope not, but this CPU has gotten a lot of hate. I think it is because most are lousy silicon samples that need too much voltage and have a crappy IMC. We shall see soon enough. Before I start playing with that I need to delid my 270K Plus and install the Mycro Pro block. I will be doing that tomorrow.

Hey @ssj92 did this work at all for Alienware 18 r1? I have one I've been messing around with and got one of those hp rtx 5000 gpus, but it does that thermal and power alert. Any info would be great.

I’m really happy that you solved your system’s problem.
