    Hello. I installed the RTX 4080 MXM on this laptop. It displays but the GPU temps are stuck at 40C in the ClevoFanControl and in the central center. However the GPU temps are working in GPU-Z and on the windows built-in temperature readings. For example it says 60C on Windows and the 2 softwares are stuck at 40C still. I tested a Quadro P3000 and the temps are working and not stuck at 40C with the 2 softwares. I remember the 4080 worked on the P870, the temperatures weren't stuck at 40C. The same card works in the Dell Precision M6800 without any temps issues. I would pay someone 40€ if they can modify this open source project to support Windows built-in GPU temperature reading or using GPU-Z GPU temperature readings. It's called ClevoFanControl and it's on GitHub, it's written in C# by djsubtronic

    Wow, both versions are awesome. Alienware isn’t available in my country, and unfortunately, I can’t buy from eBay either. I’m really curious to see how much of a performance difference there is compared to the R1, especially in terms of CPU performance. If you get a chance, I’d love to see some benchmarks from it.

    I ended up buying a brand new in box area-51m r2 maxed out. i9 10-cre, 64gb ram, 4 ssds, rtx 2080 super, 4k display. still got my r1 of course

    Yes, removing the D3 cold transition has kept the system from resetting with suspend.

    Got warranty activated today including the start date being adjusted to my purchase date so its a full three years. Swapped in A-die. It did not want to boot at 3000/3000/2000 with 1050mv VSOC. 1200mv worked but is probably too much. XMP 6000 C36 equivalent timings (and tREFI 16k) at 1200mv VDD/VDDQ/VDDIO but need to stability test.

    Did you buy the R2 laptop or the panel?

    I hope it helped you. Let me know how it goes, and we can try to improve it even further.

    Hello all. I recently got a Toshiba Qosmio G55 and cant seem to find the most recent bios for thid model. I understand Dynabook got rid of them all for some reason, but there are 3rd party sites to get them from but i cant seem to find ones that have a recent BIOS. I want to max this machine out since itll be cheap but i need most recent bios for it to handle an Intel Core Duo T9600. Atm the bios is 1.70. As far as i have seen the most recent is 2.30. Any ideas on where i can get them?

    I checked again on the 8570w boardview and the LCD connector is wirred to DP_D of the MXM slot : Meaning no need for vbios mod I was wrong. If you have DC screen evey GPU with eDP support should work. What is the problem with 1070m @KbX ? no image ?
  13. 2CPU
    I think your D3 Cold disable and lane locking has stopped the sudden resets during suspend. I will monitor and report back.

    Hi! That's interesting, it makes sense. We definitely have some limits with these machine. That would be great. I forgot about this. What are the solutions on the 980? using PTM7950 with another copper plate...or maybe not install it at all ahah.

    Trying to find a repair guide, schematics so my local shop / tinkerer can help me fix a problem with my notebook fans (they are not getting the correct voltage anymore). The links I found were all either paywalls (at sites where I do not know if they are even reputable) or had some potentially scammy "offers" (the site just inserts any laptop name in a template for you and inserts it promising it has the schematics, people post in forums directing traffic to it.). Hope someone can help me.

    I had some time to play with the threadripper platform and tried a PBO with scalar 2x and -10 on all 96 cores, went from 119k to over 153k 😄 But the second try it shutdown 🤣 Still have the 1200w PSU 1U inside that the case came with so i think this is the weak link..i need to mode the case, cut it so i can add Bquiet 1200w ATX PSU titanium but dont have the time for the work right now

    Some sponsored reviews have appeared by English speaking Youtubers. I will not post the links because I find them very mediocre and prejudiced, repeating the LG silly marketing points (i.e. local AI with Gram chat, etc.). They present a Gram 16 with the X7 processor with the b390 iGPU and Gram 17 with the RTX5050. I am very disappointed by LG, there is no real progress, more marketing and less substance. They continue to claim of the lightest 17in laptop which is not a big feat, most laptop makers have turned to 18in for their gaming/desktop replacements and at 16in for light gaming laptops so the new Gram at more than 1.7kg!!!!, more than 300gr than the 2025 remains the "king"... If they added weight for a beefier cooling (apparently processor but also the graphics performance is better than the 2025 version, they feed more power) they could have at least went with a RTX5070ti with 12GB VRAM and be more useful for local LLM usage. But the mess does not stop here, still the same 1600p vertical resolution IPS panel since the launch of the 17incher, they should propose by now a 1800p panel, the dpi is pretty weak for a 17in screen. And GLOSSY!!!, a touchscreen but glossy. The 16in keeps the crown as super light but they stick to a 77Whr battery and only 2 speakers. It has a matte 1800p OLED panel that looks good, but we don't get any battery tests from the reviewers. Performance of the PantherLake compared to last year's ArrowLake is significantly better but.. my 2025 model with RTX5050 has better speakers, better graphics performance and more than sufficient battery life. The main problem is that it has an MSRP above $3000, so the 17in with the dGPU becomes the value proposition. The other thing that is very irritating is that most of the configs on LG's US site are underpowered U processors or some Ryzen ones with quite high MSRP. These models like the 355U are barely faster than a LunarLake, so basically you will be better off to get a 2025 model, LunarLake if you want batterylife, or Arrowlake for performance. The Aerominum is just marketing crap, it looks uglier (ok less of a fingerprint magnet) but there is no serious gain in weight, especially since they have to stick to 77Whr battery and only 2 speakers to save on weight.

    Hi! Unfortunately, my hardware ID for the 1070 is DEV_1BE1, and I noticed in the Nvidia settings that I could choose some options for G-Sync. I don't have enough experience with BIOS to freely change and modify it, but I believe it works with other laptops and older versions that have LVDS communication. My GTX 1070 works via DP but not via VGA connector, which leads me to think that the problem is the screen which is from the time when VGA was used. When i connect the external VGA display, it detects but remains black... I have to ask a friend of mine who has a computer store if he has experience with GPU BIOS and also if he has a recent 40-pin laptop screen to try before buying one, risking it not working. The heatsink for the GTX 1070 will be easier because it has all the memories on the top side, different from the 980 which has on both sides. I'm Portuguese and for now i have to enjoy summer, we don't know when Russia will use a bomb under the sea to flood and drown us all. I don't believe Nvidia made a driver for this hardware combination. Note that Nvidia released the last official driver for GTX which greatly increases performance in newer games and dx12. Note that this CPU does not have AVX2. More and more recent games require this. It won't be worth having an RTX in this laptop because some games won't open because of the 3940xm.

    Unfortunately no, since non DC screen go through the LVDS port of the gpu and all pascal cards and above (including 1070m) don't have LVDS pins, no vbios can fix that. What it should do is make the 1070m work on DC screen since it wasn't possible before due to eDP placement mismatch in vbios. The 8570w doesn't use integrated graphics and the internal lcd goes directly to the dGPU if I am not mistaken.
  21. Amir.s
    If you want, I can tell you what changes to make in RU.EFI so that the settings you apply in RU.EFI won’t reset anymore and will only be reset by clearing the BIOS/CMOS.

    @JadeRover so if i understand/read that correctly, that Vbios build makes 1070M work on a Non-DC enabled 8570W? cool news if it does. hadnt stumbled on that post before i got my 980M (d'oh) time to search for a 1070M then 😉 for the next upgrade stage. Until the cable saga is resolved the RTX cards will have to wait.
  24. jaybee83
    unfortunately i cant use native cables, still rocking 2x8pin on the PSU side 😄 but this sounds like a nifty lil feature!
  25. Mr. Fox
    Initial impressions of this cable are very positive. It is very soft and pliable and appears to be very high quality. The pin balance is good. I honestly have no room to complain about the original cable that came with the old Toughpower GF3 1650W PSU. It survived a 3090 Ti, 4090 and my 5090 up until yesterday, when it began to demonstrate a 2-3A variance between pins. It is probably still entirely within the safe zone, and well within the Thermal Grizzly default range, but it did suddenly change and I thought it not worth tempting fate. It has served me very well. It has no visible evidence of degradation or having been hot at the GPU end or PSU end. The Corsair cable has a tight range of variance.

    I have a Corsair ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable being delivered tonight from Amazon. I had ordered one of those overhyped new ASUS cables and cancelled it after reading frequent reports that they're not nearly as good as the price tag suggests. (Twice the cost of the Corsair and no better pin balancing, plus no thermal protection.) Incoming from NewEgg for the B850MPOWER living room PC is a black with walnut wood front Lian Li A3 and a Super Flower Combat SFX FP 1000W 80+ Platinum ATX3.1/PCIe 5.1 PSU. PSU was on sale for $149 so my price match in-store credit on the Z890 Apex made it essentially free. End up getting both items for under $100 out-of-pocket grand total.

    I hear you, it’s rough out there. That thread really nails how hollow these platforms feel. I focus on small, real connections instead of chasing likes. Makes a huge difference.

    Tried the force speed settings with no change. 0x993 = 03 0x997 = 03 0x99B = 00 The link quality only improved with power cycling the whole AGA only after booted to windows. I do like where you are going with the debug. To me there are better dB settings for the PCIe Gen3 lanes assigned at Win10 vs BIOS cold boot. If I can query them somehow via windows and then hard code them for every boot I would be golden.
  30. jaybee83
    nope havent tested those yet. ive actually just reseated the cable i was using before (Seasonic) and the current imbalance is gone, crazy how that works. i got 3 our of the 5 ordered backup cables on hand, 2 still on the way. 3 of them Seasonic, 2 from Asus.
  31. 2CPU
    Thank you for the suggestions. I set 0x425 = 00 with no changes in poor link status on cold boot. Perhaps it will maintain the link when laptop is suspended overnight which would be a huge improvement. I hate having to set all my programs up yet again every day.
