Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Try this: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ag/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5ycy7 My m14x has antenna for this already so maybe I will try a card for that one. this one is for the older part number but give it a try: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=4h54n -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
The SIMG SB92XX one from Dell.com. It redirect me to the Alienware 2013 laptops download link. The software is WiHD but it states "Not detected". Not sure if I use the software correctly. It's a niche tech that no one used. -
I don't plan to spend the rest of my life modding bios so your cable will be needed for all systems except the ones I listed. Brightness control should work too on bios, I will see. This is all hypothetical. I will be quite surprised if they keep the x-bracket design.
-
Yes leaked VBIOSes or VBIOSes straight from TPU or official generic VBIOSes from Nvidia. These companies need to respect the new Nvidia specs and design too. So this is weird.

What driver have you tried? -
This confirms what I heard during my A4500 testing from Aetina. ONLY nVidia has access to the vBIOS modding. The companies ask nVidia for vbios mod and nvidia approve or deny it. This is why at the time they couln't make me a non above 4g decode vbios, nvidia didn't allow. It also confirms my theory. These are all frankenmodded cards, nothing is official except the PRO cards. They literally wait for a leaked vBIOS or some vBIOS that allows them to make the mxm card work. It also means they do NOT have someone who can sign it.
-
I just contacted them thru their sales email. I don't know if it's possible to chain as they use avast email protection, don't want to get the mail flagged as spam. X-Vsion's Blackwell X-bracket layout would be the same as the Ada and Ampere ones. I hope they didn't lie there. We'll see in the future. Well backlight mod is needed for other laptops! A must if you want to use your new RTX cards in dGPU. I'm happy to change my M17X R4 3080, M4800 4070 and M6800 4080 brightness lol, looks clean.

There's the 5XHG5 for M18X R1 and M17X R3 There's the 3W4MD for "M14X", "M17X" and 18 R1, 17 R1. The 60GHz antenna + cable part is: KVR0Y Receiver is: VIZIO XWH200 HDMI Couldn't find anything about the "M17X R4" card one. Yes the SIMG SB92XX is the card. It's detected but the software for it, doesn't detect anything. -
If my experiment works, M17xR3/M17xR4/AW17 won't need any backlight cables. Can you cc me on the email chain? I want to ask them some stuff too. I think we will need a new x-bracket design. All the blackwell pro cards from Aetina, PNY, etc use a super wide x-bracket hole layout
-
My Backlight mod v2 works on Alienware m17x R4 and also the 17 R1 120Hz. I hope they sent me a 5080/5090 for testing like they do with YouTubers. So I can get the VBIOS and upload it thru TPU or thru Google drive I bought like +10 cards from them, of course they can trust me. I'm waiting for their response, they didn't reply to me today when I asked them for a sample.

ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Haven't tried any OC on 3080 yet. Working on too many bios mods right now Actually I have been looking for the card for M17xR3/M18xR1. Not sure if the M17xR4 is the same card. I see part of the card on eBay but don't see the part that connects to the wireless display. One of my goals is to get that too. Looking at the model, it seems you bough the WiHD card for AW14/17/18 not the M17xR4 one. From my understanding, there is 3 "generations" of cards. SHould be backwards compatible though? -
They should provide me a sample card if they want the gpu to work on all AWs. 4090 doesn't post on M17xR3 yet even with 4g decoding enabled. I am still working on it. RTX 4000 now posts fine eDP 120hz PEG on m17xR3 in full legacy mode. Working on UEFI port right now. I have a couple dell precisions I can work on too for above 4g decode but those are lower priority for me right now. I have no Clevos right now. See if you can get the vBIOS and send to me so I can confirm they actually have eDP support this time.

Eluktronics Hydroc G2 / Uniwill IDY 2025
PHVM_BR replied to win32asmguy's topic in Uniwill (TongFang)
Now that I have the water cooler and using it with the cooling pad, I can sustain heavy loads long enough to verify the stable undervolting of each core at fixed clocks the adjustment for stability has changed a bit... At 5.2GHz: 7 P-cores: -65mV 1 P-core: -70mV Almost the same for 5.1GHz: 6 P-cores: -65mV 2 P-cores: -70mV E-cores at 4.8GHz: 3 clusters: -50mV 1 cluster: -55mV I haven't had time to validate other clock speeds yet. This shows that, at least on my specific CPU, undervolting per core yields only minimal gains. On the other hand, undervolting the P-cores and E-cores separately (XTU) greatly improves performance. -

SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Did you try to overclock the RTX 3080? Like +50MHz on the core and +100MHz on the memory By the way I got the WirelessHD SiBeam M17X R4/M18X R1 DMC card. DMC is enabled in the SBIOS but it's not detected on Windows and not detected in the SiBeam software. Is the SiBeam card called SIMG SB92xx COM3 on device manager? If so then the card is definitely detected but not in the software... I have both sibeam card 3W4MD and SiBeam 60GHz antenna. Do you have any experience on this? -
No backlight support from them, they won't do it. It's prohibited like making a new VBIOS. Only my backlight mod can bring the backlight + PWM brightness control back. The DP/DP/HDMI/eDP is on the vbios of the Blackwell cards. I told X-VSION if I could get one for testing later. ETA is unknown. 4g decode could be a problem on other laptops such as Dell precision and some clevo laptops. As we know X-VSION and ZRT don't have 4G decode needed to work. Only the newest Aetina, PCP cards need them. These cards are very expensive so I don't think people will buy that for their laptop.

exactly what bro @electrosoft said, my LFIII Pro with Noctua IPPC3000 fans in push/pull is a beast but im already itching when im seeing these crazy Noctua AIO results 😄 definitely added to my wishlist for a potential future upgrade. for now, im happy with my setup and just glad to be gaming again after months and months of RAM and GPU tuning 😛 CPU is STILL stock aside from the RAM tweaks, couldnt be bothered to OC it yet 😄 -
Thank you for the response, would I need modded 980m drivers as well

His better bin did 8200 so he's looking for 8400+ so good luck. Sugi's 8800 binned unicorn is bonkers good. Also another reason I was hesitant over his delidded one for sale with F&F..... Tempting with the delidded heatsink and offset mount, but not for $800 and SP117. Seems like a good dude, though that loves hardware so +1 on that. Hmmmm, I might have to give the Noctua a whirl then. I've been using my LF II 420 for years now and it gets it done and has held its own against just about everything I've thrown it against so far but it's Noctua! I know Nova is going to be beast.... I'd really go with the G.Skill C26 from Amazon if you're going to be paying that much from BB for those or at least the sticks quoted from @Talon unless you have a crapton of reward points saved up or want/need to use BB credit instead. I also think the 9850X3D is the smart move too. Like you said, you're not into extreme OC'ing anymore. I think you've come back down to my level where I tune and apply a modest OC but everything I do is tuned around D2D stability. You still run custom water though which is nice. -
I decided not to do it. The seller told me, they tried doing r1 to r2 swap for 4k panel and r1 wouldn't boot anymore. I find that hard to believe since it's just a display panel and uses the same connector. Anyways I found a brand new in box area-51m r2 maxed out so I jumped on that.
-
Ah I shouldn't have bought 4090, oh well. eDP support as in bios AND backlight pins ? I mean companies advertised eDP for 4090 so we will see. I'll need a vBIOS dump to inspect if it's true. Above 4G decode is no issue now, I already am almost done implementing for M17xR3, will port over to other AWs in the future.

Yes, I added the keys from the Secure Boot menu in the BIOS. I am not certain if it's necessary or not, but I think you may need to create an administrator password for the BIOS to let you do it. The certificates are not directly linked on a website, they are linked in the documents accompanying the KEYS in binary form included in the microsoft website I mentioned: Microsoft binary KEYS, not the certificates --- you don't want the KEYS, you want the CERTIFICATES to add into the keys already in your Secure Boot section in the BIOS. But the InsydeH20 BIOS won't recognize them, unless you change the extension. Change the extension of the files from .crt to .cer because otherwise the BIOS won't even see them. Now, be careful, there are "signed" and not "signed" certificates --- the "signed" ones are NOT the ones you want, those are to be loaded at runtime after the computer has booted, and the point is to load the Secure Boot certificates as the computer is precisely booting, so you want the non-signed ones. Also, depending on what you want, there are options to which kind of certificates to download. I opted for the "Microsoft and third party" certificates just in case I install a Linux distro that works with Secure Boot on the computer sometime in the future -- it's only the new certificates, it doesn't contain the ones that should already be in your system, and it's the most complete set, meaning that other than the old certificates, it has all the ones you want plus some others that you may want. If that's good enough to you, I am putting the certificates I used in the attached ZIP file. They are in directories KEK and DB depending on which key they should be added to. Hope this helps. I could write a more detailed explanation, but that would be a lot more lengthy than this post, and it would require a bit of time. Also, sorry for the late reply, but I have been a tad occupied at work. Firmware.zip

So I may go with this setup below. CPU: 9850X3D (Might change for 9950X3D or 9950X3D2 still considering) RAM: Dominator Titanium 6000c30 2x16GB Board: ASUS Crosshair X870e Apex (May swap to something more basic) Lately I find my self less and less interested in extreme overclocking, so the Apex may get replaced with something less extravagant like a cheaper ROG board or maybe even a Strix/TUF/MSI etc. -

I love that board. Looks retro and cool. I swear I had a board that looked just like it back in the day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH173B3C?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&th=1 -- CL28 at $440 https://www.newegg.com/klevv-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cas-latency-cl30-desktop-memory-white/p/N82E16820101096?Item=N82E16820101096 -- CL30 at $419 with code https://www.newegg.com/klevv-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cas-latency-cl30-desktop-memory-black/p/N82E16820101095 --CL30 at $419 with code The CL28 are SK Hynix A-Dies and the 6000 CL30 should also be A-Dies. At 1.35v with CL28/CL30, you should have no issue pushing CL26 at 1.45v if you want to manually tune them. I believe this is SK Hynix own branded ram. I think I'd probably go with the sure thing CL28s as they're probably slightly better binned. -

If any of yalls are interested in a really good AIO, I just got the new Noctua 420mm AIO and I'm blown away by the performance of the AIO. I had my Corsair 420mm AIO before this, using the same exact Noctua Fans and Thermal Grizzy Kryonaut pad. I tested a before and after run in CB23 with 300w power limits and the improvement is shocking. Best of all, no longer need Corsair iCUE garbage on my system. Just a clean, no RGB AIO and I love it. Same Noctua 140mm Black Fans, Same Thermal Pad, Same Fan Speed. Noctua 420mm AIO Corsair 420mm AIO I've been on a bit of a spending spree lately lol. Picked up the new MSI MPG Ai1600TS PCIE5 power supply with current monitoring and dual 12v2x6 outputs. Finally running native cables and being able to monitor the current on each pin with my HOF 5090D is awesome. No need for a fancy GPU to do this, I can do it with the MSI PSU and monitor all of it in HWINFO64 and MSI Afterburner. Can also overlay it in an OSD so I can keep an eye on it at all times if I want. Then picked up this Noctua AIO and very happy I did. The cooling improvement and headroom it provides me for Nova Lake is very cool. My system is Nova Lake ready lol. Grabbed the Logitech Pro X2 mouse with haptic triggers. It's a total game changer for me. I've never done better in games and just using the mouse on the desktop with a clean and satisfying mouse click. Also it's basically silent, so if my wife is in the office and I'm gaming, my trigger click is dead silent. No more annoying the heck out of her while I click away lol. Think I need to cool it for awhile lol.
