    Garbage. Also a creative scammy way to help their cartel brothers financially because the sheeple will also need a new PSU or a special new power cable for a new motherboard. The wickedness of the PC hardware bastards has no limits. Totally unnecessary changes that nobody asked for and nobody needs and no consumer benefits from that fabricates an unmerited necessity of an additional purchases.

    Well it's been 48hrs since this post. Either @tps3443 scored that Astral or he spent the day filing a police report.... 🤑 Oh yeah I'll definitely wait for a deal to manifest on a marked down or used one.... AMD Radeon issues have returned to WoW.....again. Absolute crashing and graphic artifacting entering Azeroth. Spent the last hour diagnosing the wife's system and final diagnosis: DX12 driver timeouts...ended up having to switch back to DX11 for now. Not sure what changed since server reset, but here we are...... again. DDU and tried the last 6 releases including the newest (she was running Feb 2026 drivers). Simpler and smarter could be achieved without it needing to be smaller or perhaps smaller but larger and robust connectors as an offset.

    Looking forward to hearing how it goes. I took got the RTX 3080 from them and yes, weird purchase process but I did it through PayPal. Got my heatsink off ebay and it actually went very smoothly. Quick modded driver and it's been running for months with not a single issue yet. I wish the 4080 and 4090 weren't so expensive, I have more M18x's laying around aswell as a M17x R4 with 120hz screen waiting for a gpu upgrade. I can't justify the cost for them right now though.

    Bro, i cant wait to buy a 4080 fro xvision, 154 is the catd TDP?? I cant find the card tdp in the website

    Got this, https://www.ebay.com/itm/134146959388, beastly 780w adapter for my Alienware m18x r2. Anyone here have any experience with this adapter for this machine? Or any machines from this generation? Luckily, for me I found a slightly cheaper one that wasn't being sold from Canada with those insane shipping and import fees...BUUUT i did have to buy the Alienware cord from that seller in the link since the adapter i bought came with a Clevo one :( . 67$ and 55$ shipping and import fee respectively (OOUUCH lol). I actually spent more on that wire than the box itself lol. Also upgrading my GPU from a Quadro P5000 to an RTX 3080 from X-Vsion. And...oh man...I gotta tell y'all....that was the most bizarre purchase experience to say the least lol. Also had to buy the custom heatsink and X-bracket since it doesnt come with a bracket. Seller who sold me the adapter said he got one from that seller from the link and it got lost in customs for a month and half and just bought another one and then got the delayed one a week after buying the other adapter lol. Man, I hope that doesn't happen with my cord lol. Anyway, posting this to give updates during this process and MAY come into road blocks so I might ask you wizards here for help if needed. Wish me luck y'all!

    Temps can get a little high in the 80s but 980M doesn't run full power in m15x anyways. pretty sure I need a vbios mod for that. 970m should be perfect

    The stupidity making power connectors smaller and smaller continue. They never learned from the 12V-2*6 failure. Now we also get cute 8-pins(to save board space and costs). Smaller is always better. Just look at the modern Jokebooks. Intel ATX12VO V3 to remove the 24-pin motherboard power connector

    Well, I flashed both of the latest XMG Ultra 17 BIOSes --- first the 1.07.09RTR7-G2, and then the 1.07.09RTR6, and the Secure Boot certificates DID NOT update, despite issuing the commands to download and update them from an elevated PowerShell. I'm still getting the warning. What's worse, NEITHER of them allowed the PC to boot with 128GB of RAM, and with 64GB, the memory is running at 2666MT/s. So, slower and less memory, and NO updated certificates. Wonderful 🙄 I'm going back to Origin's BIOS, and pray that the memory controller resets to a faster speed. EDIT: I went back to Origin's 1.07.08TOPC BIOS, and everything went back to what it was AFTER I installed the four RAM sticks, because the memory was stuck at 2666MT/s with only two SODIMMs. It seems the RAM I have does not want to play well with any of the XMG ULTRA 17 BIOSes. If I had money, and RAM was cheaper, I would buy a different set of RAM sticks, but alas, I have what I have, and that is a fast, powerful, and beautiful notebook that just doesn't want the new Secure Boot certificates.

    Ouch, that's unfortunate, maybe the age of the liquid cristals is making the image burn in ? I did notice that the DC screen on my m6700 would get very hot at the bottom of the screen bezel, where the eDP to LVDS converter sits, like 60°C hot !

    Awesome, what are your temps like with a 980 out of curiosity? I ended up buying a new old stock GTX 970M for £37 and a I7 940XM for £20 going to see how the 970M performs for the time being and then get a 980M and throw this 970 into my grey M15X I also have.

    hey, I ended up buying a new old stock GTX 970M for £37 and a I7 940XM for £20 going to see how the 970M performs for the time being and then get a 980M and throw this 970 into my grey M15X I also have. 🤟🏼

    Well, seems DC screen have new problem lately. I left screen closed for few days and that happened. So not only do they get very hot and are too bright (on lowest settigns), but they also have trouble with image retention 😕

    @JadeRover OK , that makes sense now , thank you for the explanation , I will let you know how my quest goes 😁 Regarding drivers , yes I have seen a few tutorials , looks similar to what we had to do years ago for Broadcomm Bluetooth dongles , in XP , That bit I feel confident on , but flashing with a CH341a 🙄 if I can't find a card in a couple of weeks then I may succumb to your suggestion. It's not immediate as I have this HP 8760w with a DC screen I am using now , this will be my upgrade 😊

    Hello, Yes, keep in mind all green pcb M3000m are the same regardless of HP or DELL branding, the only reason they call some DELL and others HP is for the different vbios. So yes if you convince the seller to flash that vBIOS for you it will work. Regarding driver install, you will need to mod an official driver yourself with nvflash (not complicated there are plenty of short tutorials on how to do so). No whitelist has never been an issue for me, only MXM laptops that have a whitelist and that I know of are lenovo P70 and P71 as well as early clevo dual MXM gpus laptops. Haha ok, honestly I would get a CH341a programmer, it really isn't that difficult to get it working, you can then flash 84.04.9B.00.14, especially if you still have your m3000m card with a zbook 17 g3 compatible vbios.

    The 115W TGP under sustained load in my testing was definitely a thermal limit at 87C. I'm disappointed given how thick the chassis is. Believe the Dynamic Boost portion of the TGP has always been software limited as it's shared between CPU/GPU.
  22. FrancoTecno
    what GTX 1060 manufacturer you have?
  23. FrancoTecno
    yeah, the GT60 its weird to make heatsink modifications. actually the most safely upgrade its the Getac/PNY QUADRO RTX 3000 based on @sliderfra review. RTX 4000 its a possible successful upgrade since a guy made it working but we dont know too much details about it. RTX cards from X-Vsion arent a safe upgrade because we dont know the behaviour of the external outputs, on 4060 and 4070 probably not works since both are almost identical.

    I'm running 980M (1617) Clevo model perfectly fine in M15x. M5000M should run cooler though. No mods needed except driver INF mod

    No idea why they started with UHD and later released this QHD option. So far as I can tell the mobile X3D pairs better with QHD than UHD just like on desktop. FHD would be nice but it seems to be paired only with low end laptops at this point. Eventually they should put it on sale. The price for its specs are pretty high right now and honestly not worth it. A few weeks ago I saw the X3D + 5080 + UHD 120hz config priced at $2800 at B&H and there is no reason this should be more than that with its lower specs.

    @JadeRover Yes I agree I thought that , but was interested to know your thoughts , if I could find a seller with an HP card that was prepared to flash 84.04.9B.00.14 onto it , would this correct the DP output and would I then be able to use an unmodified driver , I would assume yes , but am I missing anything ? Some mention a whitelist on the video cards and you need a Dell card to get past it , have you come across any issues with this , I appreciate the Micro code in Main BIOS is relevant for it to recognise the card but I can't see HP putting in Dell ID's and not HP ID's ? Unfortunately the seller listing above , confirmed he had no idea what vBIOS they had and it was a generic picture , so the sticker is irrelevant 😥 So my quest goes on 🤣 I am predominantly looking for Dell M3000M now with 84.04.9B.00.14 , as you suggested , but still would be interested on your thoughts on above as you have tried MXM cards in ZBooks etc.

    Welp, I didn't receive anything this week but I got an update now and it says I'll receive the Backlight mod v2 cables on the 2nd June... I hope it's true... It's been in transit for 9 days
