Thanks for posting an update. Good information.

Thanks! I was looking at the verified ones and they were all DELL. How do you look at unverified vBIOSes?

There is this other temperature in my HWINFO named "Hot Spot", I wanted to know if that one is the temperature of the hottest chip of my GTX980M right? Either RAM, VRAM or VRM right? If so, I guess I put the thermal pads correctly because my Hot Spot has good temps? Thx

Finally got around to the ole switcheroo for some FO76 and WoW testing.... Welp, my 265k adventures have come to an end for potential on my main rig methinks. 9800X3D is just too beastly in Fallout 76 9070xt is just too weak on top of that but that was to be expected against a card that costs 3-6x more and is really a 5070ti/5080 contender depending on games played. Good news is for WoW at 4k? 265k tuned is a legit contender. It also was holding its own in Hogwarts too. For raids, I found it had almost that same smoothness and control of the lows like the SP109 14900KS in the wife's system. If all I played was WoW, I'd recommend a nice, tuned, cheap 265k on the cheapest board you could find. Problem of course is securing 8000+ DDR5 in the current market. Unfortunately I play equal parts Fallout76 and WoW both at 4k these days as my two main games and have for the last 3+ years and the X3D just massacres All of Intel's offerings in that game as it always has since I started testing with the 7800X3D several years ago vs the 12900k, 13900KS and eventually the 14900KS. I did manage to eeek out a little bit more performance on the Strix and 8600 tuned vs 8000 tuned with the better 265k being able to tune up quite nicely but it still couldn't hang but that's about right considering it couldn't hang even with the 14900k still churning along at 59/45/50 atm. Red Devil 9070xt was clocking over 3300 at stock in Fallout76. Much better than my Gigabyte 9070xt in the wife's system. 265k vs 9800X3D with MSI Vanguard 5090: 9070xt vs 5090 on 9800X3D: 9070xt vs 5090 on 265k: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up next is a break down and cleaning of my main rig and install the MSI AI1600T PSU along with the WV2Pro and DDR5 cooling mod. I plan on holding onto my Vengeance 9200 sticks in anticipation for Nova.....

@Will Hello, I've been following your 7720 adventure and I think I will soon start mine, upgrading to a 7920HQ motherboard. Do you have the turbo bins overclock number for the xeon CPU you have ? It can be found here in throttlestop -> FIVR windows I would like to know what the value is for your xeon CPU. I know for a fact that the 7920HQ allows up to +6 turbo bins meaning max 1 core speed of 4.1Ghz -> 4.7Ghz possible. This is quite rare, usually i7s have +4 bins, and for XEONS cpus data is basically unavailable. Thanks ! have a good one

Do you thing it will work to use 3200Mhz ram (I have a few kits) and then via the programs linked here : create an XMP profile for 2933Mhz and possibly 3200mz ? Since the chips on the 3200mhz jedec stick will support up to 3200mhz ? I already used these programs to OC some DDR3L, there are options for DDR4 too. We just need to hope that the 7720 allows writing to ram spd

VGA Bios Collection: Nvidia Quadro FX3800m 1024 MB | TechPowerUp did some quick search and got FX3800M one for you

PEG RTX 4080, 150W, Arctic MX-4 The heatsink performance: 83C max, throttles at second 25th out of 60 seconds. The main problem comes from the badly curved heatpipes, mostly the third heatpipe which probably cuts 50% of its performance easily. It's like a loss of 15-20W easily. Memory temps: 80C max Hotspot temps: 100C max No thermal throttles in heaven benchmark 4.0, lower FPS than the Clevo P570WM3 due to the CPU I guess, I use an i7 4700MQ and not the best i7 4940MX. No thermal throttles in userbenchmark GPU suite benchmarks, very good score. I think having better heatpipes without any big tends + PTM7950 could maybe handle 150W

Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI so far despite billions in investment, survey suggests

I thought he was trying to get a quick buck from me... I hope it has express shipping:)

look, so no scam n 100% service, custom stuff sometimes not fit 100% like original parts, but most of those lil custom factories always try to fix it 🙂

Yeah and I give up, I always get scammed man, CPU not work, heatsink doesn't fit with palmrest. The heatpipes look in bad shape EDIT: SELLER WILL GIVE ME A FREE NEW HEATPIPE V2!!!! But I need to wait like 3 weeks ... Yes, he said FREE

im tempted to order the heatsink n put the fat heatpipes from the original heatsink on it... 🤪 edit, do u wrote cicichen bcs of the issues? i think he may will solve it

Yeah and I give up, I always get scammed man, CPU does not work. The heatsink doesn't fit with palmrest but it works. The heatpipes look in bad shape, is that a beta version?? EDIT: SELLER WILL GIVE ME A FREE NEW HEATPIPE V2!!!! But I need to wait like 3 weeks ...

ahh think i got it, so the lower heatpipe doin pressure to the soundboard n bcs of that it doesnt fit?

The fins + heatpipe are like OEM, 1.8cm height, no problem on that. But it's strange??? The heatpipes curves are made by hand and not machine... 70€ gone for nothing

did u measured old n new heatsink? where is the prob, at the radiator/fins or the cooler plate itself to high? im machinist n most things easy doable for me when its made from metal 😄

The only way the palmrest can close it by removing the top left PCB for the sound system... . I even removed one metallic piece that was on its way but that didn't fix the issue. I even removed the 3mm thick thermal pad that was on the mobo

You need a hardware calibration tool like Datacolor SpyderX or something else. I had the 4k display with 98% Adobe RGB and calibrate it with that tool. Wide uncalibrated garmut displays makes absolutly no sense.

It appears to be a software issue, as evidenced by the BIOS seeing it, and the output of the Ubuntu community's Wireless Info Script: https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hDamjIeDjaBPvvXzgR65BeXS4hg3Ec9n/view?usp=sharing So I posted a question over there. We'll see what they come up with.

now were talking indeed! DDR5-7600 CL32 stable baby! usually id get CL38+, finally a good mount 😄 maybe the delid helped here too 😛 timing tuning ongoing...

I put RTX 4080 MXM on M6800 and it works (check userbenchmark for proof). No weird 40W TDP bug (maybe only happens on Alienware?). Yes 4080 displays in the main screen, eDP with backlight mod v1. The custom heatsink works, need to use PTM7950 for better performance. Sadly I can't close the lid with the heatsink installed...

Just got one of those for my M6800, without antennas, because I really didn't want to take the screen apart too, to swap them out, and now I'm having some problems. https://www.amazon.com/8774Mbps-Gigabit-Interface-Bluetooth-BE200HMW/dp/B0DNZS761K?th=1 Ubuntu Studio 24.04 LTS booted right up with the new card, but it didn't see any WiFi at all. lspci says: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-LM (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d4) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d4) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d4) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #5 (rev d4) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #7 (rev d4) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #8 (rev d4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation QM87 Express LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile SATA Controller [RAID mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104GLM [Quadro P5000 Mobile] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 7(802.11be) AX1775*/AX1790*/BE20*/BE401/BE1750* 2x2 (rev 1a) 11:00.0 SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 01) I swapped back to the old card, and it wouldn't boot. Got stuck on the second Ubuntu Studio splash screen, after auto-login, for loading the user's settings. Same with no card, and even with the new card again! It was rock-solid reliable before! The BIOS says with the new card: I finally got it to boot again, with the new card, though I don't know how or why. Didn't change anything. And I still don't have WiFi. Fortunately, my home dock is wired, and that still works, but I do need WiFi when I take it places. Any ideas?

Sadly the nature ofy work requires I sit behind the windshield but at the very least for now I do second shift so my commute is close to 20 minutes. Would be nice if I could get 7pm departure though so I could socialize but for now income is good and it appears they want to steer me towards engineer route which I do like the sound of :)

strange n think i only need a new heatsink in the 7720 when i would put an RTX card in bcs temps r really good(P5200 @ 110W max. 59°c. CPU max. 73°c. at 26°c. ambient temp. - used arctic mx-7 for both)
