Well that's odd, I compared both files and all the data is correctly written. I didn't know the vram had speed bins associated with voltage, where do you read the voltage of VRAM ? Here's a 1960Mhz core and 4504Mhz vram bios that should work (if the ram can overclock well) p5200_dell_OC.bin And here is an MSI "max-P" version of the P5200 that can boost up to 1911Mhz @160w P5200_max_P.bin

Ideally stable enough so it does not crash in wow with up to 80F ambient temps without any supplemental cooling or having to use max fan speed. This goes for balanced or performance mode as both have a different fan profile. Does TM5 load the GPU? I thought it was CPU+RAM only. I have not heard of WMD.

500 DOLLARS ???????? YIIIIIIIKES

custom resolution utity . mine is okay at 120hz . most top out at 100 i used CVT reduced blanking

Yes I saw that. It's a LVDS display since the 120Hz requires a 50 pins cable.

A P570WM is currently listed on eBay. Although details about the display aren't provided, given that it is Full HD at 60Hz, it is likely an LVDS type.

Hello, I am planning to purchase a Dell Pro Max 16 for work. I use CAD, Visio, and Blender, and I have always used my dad’s Dell workstation at home for school and work. However, I will be assigned to work overseas, so I am not sure which configuration would be best. I have a few questions and would appreciate your advice. CPU: 265HX or 285HX (Not decided yet, but 285HX will not be able to run at sustainable speed for long rendering hours from what I read on reddit - have you experienced any issues with heat?) Memory: DDR5 64GB CSO DIMM at 6400 Mhz (I am debating on whether to go for a single DRAM Module and upgrade later to 128GB or go with dual 32GB x 2). May I confirm whether this laptop can run 128GB at 6400 Mhz? SSD: I will keep the 1TB factory SSD for now GPU: RTX 2000 or RTX 3000 (I have concerns about heat and also seems like the GPU is locked at 115W) Display: Going for 1920 x 1200 (To save battery life on the road/working on construction site) Thanks

Here's a crazy odd problem for ya courtesy of Asrock.... So remember that Asrock board that refused to boot with the $237.50 combo with the 7500X3D from MC? On the last return day to MC, I decided to roll the dice and keep it and see if it or even potentially the 7500X3D was truly defective or some other issue. I considered it a sub $250 fun project plus I didn't want to have to burn another $15-20 in gas.... I had ordered the B850i Phantom ITX from Asrock (<== major clue) and it wouldn't boot either. Swapped three different CPUs (9800X3D, 8400f, 7500X3D) and four different kits of memory. Same no post issues. Odds of two faulty motherboards is slim to none. Common denominator was Asrock. Had that HP Omen 35L HP sent me a few months back on the shelf (8400f, 5060, 16GB Rage memory, 500w PSU....such power) so I decided to open it up to use as a test bed in this "why won't Asrock work?" fiasco and of course everything works in there. 9800X3D? Sure. 8400f? Yep. 7500X3D? You betcha. KingBank memory? Boots right up no problem right along with all my other sticks. Did some googlin' and..... Issue turned out to be my KingBank 2x24GB sticks which I found out are known to have timing issues with Asrock boards even at Jedec. But wait, there's more. Testing those sticks first every time would load in the problematic timings and basically somehow wreck all the subsequent sticks I would test to the point I couldn't even blind flash the bios update on the B850i. Everything had to be completely reset/reseat and you could not start with the KingBank sticks or the same vicious "doesn't matter what sticks you put in here now, I'm not working" cycle would start again....even a single stick wouldn't boot. If I start with a known, working stick of memory and boot but then power down and install the KingBank sticks it won't work but I can at least go back to another set of sticks and they will eventually boot. It is only when I install a new/different CPU and start first with the KingBank sticks that everything goes to poo. This is with both boards running the newest 4.43 bios from Asrock.... Here is one chap with the problem, others who knew about it and Asrock offering a beta bios to fix the issue at least for his Nova board: I'm still testing and retesting to lock it down but either way, I won't be using the KingBank sticks in the Asrock boards. I'm going to swap out my TG 2x24GB 8200 sticks in my main rig and put the KingBanks in there even if they are overall inferior. If I can really lock this down and have total confidence in the MC combo for my C26 portable build, I'll send back the B850i, but we'll see as testing continues.....

Editing the attached P5200 vBIOS with v1.34 of your tool isn't getting me an overclock. If I overclock vram, the 1.5V speed bin gets ignored and it runs at the 6ghz 1.35V speed bin. Raising the core limit over 1708 is also ignored. Currently I'm trying to set 8GHz on the ram. I am using the #2 memory strap setting on the card instead of #0 like every other P5200 in existence. idk if that matters for vbios vram overclocks. p5200_dell.rom p5200_8000_2.bin

No one helps where I live. They say they only repair certified brands, like what the heck. I hope it's a CPU issue. An "ebay" repair job is like 300-400€ lol and we aren't sure if they can repair. I'll try and see if one of my connections knows someone for repairs

I think you should have it checked by a specialist who can repair motherboards; you might not need to replace the motherboard after all.

Here is a few pics of the 4k 120hz screen in my Area51m!! https://imgur.com/a/rZglacU

@zerokool How did you menage to push your 18 Screen to 120hz?

@Mr. Fox @electrosoft New Asus BIOS out with "Pure" ME and updated Microcodes to 122. I'm not jumping in just yet, will wait and see any reports. I like the way my rig is running now TBH. https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z890-apex/helpdesk_bios/

Very nice! Chip looks to be a banger! When running on that edge, those little segues into instability from what was previously stable are frustrating. If I can't do at least 8000 I would stick with 6000 super tight (or as close as I could get to 2200/6600) but that's just me. 🙂 I keep a 140mm fan on my memory too but even with that at 8000+, temps are an issue in my AC cooled room hence contemplating a CPU/MEM loop. I know I would be paranoid about water dripping on my GPU and would most likely get a vertical riser kit so if water were to suddenly leak it would miss the GPU... Hey, at least the 12vfail is running nicely!

I'll test the RTX 4090 MXM on the Clevo X170 when I'll get the heatsink for it. The 4090 works great on the Clevo P775TM1 with the custom heatsink. Great temps with my backlight mod v2

I'll buy an i7 10700K since it's an 8 cores CPU. If dual channel doesn't work then the motherboard is dead. I hope it's not the case. The motherboard costs more than the I9. Dead motherboard: It means that the ram traces are probably broken or a faulty PCH. I didn't see any suspicious liquid damage on the board CPU: It means the DRAM controller is dead.

Maybe you make test

So the motherboard is dead?

I have the 170cm model as well. It’s equipped with an i9-10900K CPU, 32GB of RAM, and an RTX 3080 GPU. I haven't encountered an issue like this. The latest XMG BIOS version is installed. Your RAM slots might be faulty; either slot 3 or 4—or both—could be the problem.

you win some, you lose some: GPU cable keeping steady, still at +/-10% max. current imbalance, roughly equating to 1-1.3A, very happy with that. but now suddenly my machine kept crashing during RE9 Requiem gameplay, sudden black screen followed by a reboot, not BSOD, no warning, no freezing, nothing, just instant reboot. had a hunch so i ran TM5 and voila: the RAM started getting unstable! currently retuning the timings while keeping the speed at 7600. not sure if this is silicon degradation or rather the current heatwave. ambient temps are reaching 28-30C in my little gaming corner in the living room, thus pushing the RAM to the upper 50s during gameplay (remember: this is with RGB switched off and a 140mm fan pointing directly towards them). in any case, back to RAM tuning ugh....altho not much in the mood, crazily enjoying my gaming phase 😄 ill just do it on the side, one timing a day i guess.... 😛 at least i found the culprit quickly and can go back to stable gaming without reboots 🙂

So single channel works in slot 1 and 2. When I try single channel for slot 3 or 4. It doesn't boot. CPU socket pins, everything looks clean. Nothing is broken or missing. Used an air blower and a brush to clean the socket, still the dual channel doesn't work. Is that a motherboard issue or a CPU issue?

Hello. I'll try with another CPU. Like the 10100F. I have a none bent socket. Found one CPU locally for 35 after taxes

The processor's memory controller might be faulty, or there could be an issue with one of the RAM slots.
