Hi Everyone, I am looking for 2in1 Air-Water heatsink for P775TM1. If you have one and not using anymore or willing to sell please contact me. Mostly from EU. Thank you

This is the 14" gram so no room for two fans. The dynamic power limits are changed in response to the chosen fan noise setting. I'm a little puzzled why it showed 23W for the PL1 dynamic limit when I captured that dature because it's currently showing only 12W for the normal fan setting and 28W for the high fan setting.

Where on Earth do you purchase this from? I have looked all over the web! Specifically, I'd like 4x8 for 32GB.

No, I have the same on P3000, P5200 and RTX 3000.

16GB modules will not work. If you want, here is a working option with the m4800 model:

I'm also testing G-Sync for desktop cards. I took this possibility into account when developing my MXM board. I'll get back to you on this topic.

I understand this, and the video BIOS of native cards is pulled directly from the system BIOS, similar to HP laptops, but there is nothing stopping you from adding the necessary video BIOS to the system if necessary and letting the laptop take the information from there instead of reading it from the MXM card's flash drive.

Hello Darius, Thank you very much again for your help with the graphics card. It has now arrived and looks like new!!! Now I can build it in peace and implement this card in the P870xx. 1. I'll measure the PCB for the DisplayPort channels and route the cables. 2. Design the brackets for the card. 3. Develop cooling—water or vapor chamber. Let's see what ideas I come up with. Best regards, Ralf

I was thinking about it. Dell-MXM adapter, but the main reason is that video cards don't have an MXM structure and can't work with Dell laptop motherboards with removable cards, as the BIOS doesn't have the MXM instruction set. Operation there is similar to a desktop card. I also have an idea to make a dell - PCI-E 4x adapter to use a desktop video card low profile.

Let em bleed....

Ok, so it won't overheat right?

You may have the wrong vBIOS on the 1070. If you can use GPU-Z before the card heats up too much, check the vBIOS version. Or, the GPU just hasn't heated up enough to cause the fans to kick in. If you think that the GPU is heating up enough for the fans to activate then you can use the ePSA diagnostic (F12 on startup). This will run through all the system hardware. If the fans work during this test then it's probably an issue with the GPU or vBIOS.

Hello, I Recently acquired an alienware 17 r1 with the single beep error code. All my sources say it's most likely a bios corruption issue and that seems to be the case so I am trying to do a blind flash. I cannot find any guides or anything on how to do a blind flash on this machine. I have pieced together multiple guides on multiple different alienwares and I am mostly there (I am able to do the whole end key thing to start the process.) Now I need to configure the usb stick with the bios file. I put the a17 and a05 .exe file on the fat32 drive, I have renamed it to .hdr. I have extracted it and looked for a .fd/.hdr/.bin. can't find any. Does anyone know how to acquire the .fd or .hdr file I need to do a blind flash? I am unsure of the specs other than what's on the alienware plate on the bottom, I am trying to disassemble this but unfortunately for me the last person in here decided to strip every screw they could get their hands on. Hoping they just did a repaste instead of an upgrade to something that requires a custom bios/vbios or whatever because I'm not on that step yet so I know nothing about it. thanks.

Leave it.

Hi everyone, I bought a GTX980M, as this one in the picture, however, should I take out the black part that is around the main chip?(The one I highlighted in red) Or should I leave it there? I just want to make sure the gpu gets cooled properly

I called this early on, but at least 8000 has drawn parity with 6000/6400 worse case and best case it usually is a little bit better overall but nothing to write home over. 6000/6400 shines in extremely latency sensitive games though but they are few and far in between these days.... For X3D, we've collected enough data and seen enough game bench marking to know it truly is a case by case benefit with a massive differential ranging from only running a few points better at best than non X3D to running up to 86% faster vs a 9700x showing how brutal it can get if a game really loves that X3D cache and can comfortably sit in it the majority of the time. Seriously, I'm looking forward to Intel's foray into 3Dcache with BLLC..... Tight 6000 and Tight 8000 are the sweet spots for AMD. Buildzoid, while taking his first venture into Arrowlake, talks about some bandwidth and platform memory limitations on AM5. Intel is really where you want to be to push memory and see tangible gains with scaling even up to 9000 you will see some gains G2.

Hi all, I've just recently purchased an M6800 for myself to use as a high performance and durable workstation/gaming/server device. I stumbled upon this thread by accident when I was searching all over the Internet on why my RAM wouldn't do 1866Mhz and only 1600Mhz when I figured it's most likely because on this RAM I purchased (G.SKILL Ripjaws F3-1866C11Q-32GRSL) the greater clock speed is XMP-level and the 1600Mhz is only JEDEC-level. Upon reading all the posts in this thread so far, I have gathered that @Jers6410 appears to have managed to get even 2133Mhz RAM working in his M6800 (albeit only 16GB), which is amazing and just shows you that CPU and motherboard limits aren't always true. This has got me intrigued because I'd like to do this (unless there's even faster supported RAM, if so please let me know!). Does anyone know if 32GB of this frequency will work too, and if so, does it have to be 2x16GB or does 4x8GB work too? Many thanks, Mic

Bonjour à tous, en parcourant ce forum, j'ai décidé de tenter quelques améliorations peu conventionnelles sur mon vieux MSI GT60. Auparavant, il était équipé d'un i7 4940MX, d'une Quadro RTX 3000 et de 32 Go de RAM. Toujours aussi passionné par cette machine, j'ai opté pour une ultime mise à niveau. J'ai commandé une 4060 chez X-Vision. Le premier défi a été de modifier mon dissipateur thermique, initialement conçu pour une carte MXM B, afin de l'adapter à la carte MXM A. Ce n'est pas parfait, mais les températures restent inférieures à 80 °C en pleine charge, ce qui me semble acceptable. L'installation de la carte s'est déroulée avec succès et les performances en jeu se sont nettement améliorées par rapport à la RTX 3000. Cependant, un problème majeur persiste : le ventilateur tourne constamment à plein régime, probablement en raison d'une incompatibilité avec le firmware de mon EC, qui détecte peut-être la nouvelle carte comme défectueuse. De plus, aucun signal vidéo n'est émis via HDMI ou DisplayPort. Je cherche des conseils sur les solutions possibles à ces problèmes de compatibilité. Mis à part ces problèmes, la carte fonctionne bien en jeu. J'ai également contacté Svet du forum MSI, connu pour le développement de BIOS personnalisés pour les modèles GT60. Pour information, j'utilise un BIOS déverrouillé avec le dernier firmware EC. Vos suggestions sont les bienvenues. Merci.

Me paying? Nope. Not in Hell. YouTube Music Now Hides Song Lyrics Behind A Premium Paywall YouTube Music has ended the era of unrestricted free sing-alongs by moving song lyrics behind a Premium paywall, forcing non-paying listeners to decide if words is worth a monthly fee. Shame, shame, Google.

Still a nice community !

Hello all! I just bought second hand Alienware 18 and discovered it has locked A15 bios. I mean nothing is avalable in settings and when i try to manage "unlock" it shows service tag and promt "unlock falled". Is there some way to unlock it? Or is there some way to flash unlocked A12?

After all is said and done, with Ryzen the benefit (or lack thereof) doesn't scale with the effort involved. Lots of time and fussing to get it right with a teeny-tiny (or no) gain in return. Nothing to write home about going from 8000 to 8400. Exactly the opposite with Intel memory overclocking.

yup, this forum has barely breached 2000 users, many of whom are just ghost / lurker accounts with no real activity. that and the fact that laptops nowadays are super locked down, both from a hardware (everything soldered), as well as firmware / software perspective. many of the former NBR players have since switched to desktops and only use laptops on the side as tools, but not really for tinkering anymore (i count myself among them).
