    Hello, Cicichen made a 3 heatpipes M4800 heatsink for the newer RTX cards... How is that possible? By cutting the fan's plastic casing. This would definitely handle 120W easily.

    Hello, as far as I know, no one tested this mod on the M17x R4. The people who bought the cables were just Clevo and Dell users. The Ampère and Ada cards could work in this laptop now since the RTX 3000 displays and boots to the bios. I didn't do any testing on the OS side, I need to modify the heatsink now. You need to disassemble the whole laptop, I had to disassemble the whole laptop just to cut the nub... If you don't get a backlight on the screen then you didn't do it properly. Did you follow the PDF instructions I sent in the private message? The instructions shows how to put the 278, 280 cable. Yes the first RTX 3000 is cooked. It's because it already had one of the capacitors that was already smoked so now the card had 2 dead capacitors.

    Finished testing the Matrix 800W vBios yesterday, basically grabbed top spot in all included benches except for like 2 or so, very consistently beating the Gigachad vBios! All in all, Im currently looking at +71-72% above 4090 stock and roughly +16-17% above 5090 stock, not bad! Gotta love the upgradeability and tuning ability of desktop systems 😄 Now moving on to the Lightning vBios versions, not sure yet if ill also test the XOC versions from Asus and MSI... Monitoring and logging via the WVPII makes things way more relaxed tbh 😄 so far looking good, connector stays very cool, max ive seen thus far was like in the mid 50s, with the inbuilt fan barely starting to spin at that point. still have to do a deepdive on the data collected for the Matrix vBios, gonna do that for every vBios tested so I have a good overview of what kinda wattage my cooling could manage long term 🙂

    At this point I've gotten tired of fighting with the software side of things. If that's even what it is. The R3 will run 3D fine, I've gotten it to work a few times but the batteries just died in the glasses and I'll have to fix them(batteries ordered and on the way). It's been a long process and not worth the effort haha. So I've taken a break from working on them. Also just picked up a 3rd M18x R2, I may have a problem haha. My thoughts are, as of now to let the R3 be the 3D rig(I have a spare desktop I can throw a 2080 Ti in if I get more interested in 3D) and upgrading the R4's to more modern GPU's(maybe 1070m in one and something better in the other) just to utilize the 120hz screens and forget about 3D in them, and put the 680M's in one of the M18x's in SLI. It'd be neat to see how it handles some older titles in an original configuration compared to the one with the 3080m. Maybe even the 3rd with 980m sli just for fun.

    Sorry I hadn't notice the forums lack of responsiveness, been busy on my end. I have sent for the issue to be looked over, hopefully tomorrow morning. Sorry everyone!

    any reason we can't use nvflashk to flash unsigned bios? being able to modify turing quadro mxm would be amazing.
  10. ssj92
    Give me your m5000m vbios, I will add GOP for you so it works in UEFI. Regarding RTX 3000 spark....which one was this? It shouldn't have done that unless the laptop wasn't power drained. BTW idk if you guys tested M17xR3/R4 but I cannot get the eDP cable to go in on one side (3.3v side). The MXM port on M17xR3 puts the MXM card in deep, you can't see any pins when the card is in, the cable is still hitting the side of the mxm port despite me cutting off the sides. F9E5bi1.jpeg (3024×4032) I put it in half way onto the pins but no backlight on the card. have you tested any cards using eDP mod on M17xR4?
  11. SOYOON
    But now this sound like a moneh problem, cant do much about this, also the p775 has native support to the 3080 right, iwant to get a 3080 for my p750

    Lol, the Alienware M17X R4 works with the HP Turing RTX 3000. Displays in the screen and BIOS states NVIDIA GFX. No 8 beeps. Instant startup. I didn't test on Windows yet because of the heatsink. Which means that the T1000, RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 will work in this laptop in eDP 120Hz. For the non HP cards, just use the backlight mod cable. It's the same logic as the Dell Precision M6700 and M6800. If the RTX Turing works then the rest of the RTX will work (without 4G decode) so it means Ampère and Ada cards will work with the backlight mod cable. Someone needs to try that as I don't have any newer MXM cards to test. Ps: for the M5000M that's starting/shutdown looping, it's maybe because of the vbios being legacy only as we disabled the legacy OPROM. Since the K3000M does the same thing as the M5000M.

    Yup, the speed of the forum is awful. Equal awful as this cooling design.... What a fantastic design. Why not cut of more of the cooling fins? The more you cut the more you save🤐 And where can you spot if the tiny trash melt with backplate lid closed before it's too late? Nice we are born with a nose so we can smell the smoke from burnt electronics🙄 MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VENTUS 3X PZ OC Review - Hidden Cable, Visible Performance Why not just scrap the whole idea with hybrid cores? Only because Intel can make new software for optimizations on the latest and greatest and then scrap/forget prev gen Intel chips? Hmmm. Intel’s Hallock Blames Software, Not Silicon, For Gaming Gap — Claims 30% Performance Is Hiding Behind Poor Optimization Robert focused on the same, highlighting the importance of proper software optimizations that can fix these issues. We have seen how the scheduler behavior becomes a crucial aspect in gaming workloads. While Intel's hybrid CPUs rely on Thread Director, the performance ultimately depend heavily on multiple factors like OS, game engines, background processes, power plans etc.

    The v2 isn't done and there's maybe a problem in the current production factory. And it'll be expensive for sale too. So you're good now. M5000M just the laptop starts then shutdowns and it does a loop. Sliderfra told me that the Maxwell aren't working in the M17X R4 eDP in UEFI, is that true? Edit: I tried one of the RTX 3000 I have, it did a big spark in one of the capacitor (bottom right). But the laptop still works... So I lost a big ton of money on that one 😕
  17. ssj92
    P3000 working means UEFI is now fully on. M5000M power looping is interesting. what's the exact behavior on screen well that's frustrating and would have been important to know before buying v1 cables...

    My Xeon 7760 with RTX5000 died this week, so I replaced it with a Pro Max 18 Plus Ultra 9 285HX RTX PRO 3000. So far, I'm very happy with the new workstation. I use it mostly for SolidWorks (small assemblies) and Video editing for a YouTube channel I run. I pulled the bottom cover off, started looking at the storage, and I’m trying to figure out if anyone is actually running a Gen5 NVMe in one of these. Which led me to this site and post. Dell only offers up to 2TB now, no 4TB option anymore (was available). My assumption is that’s thermal-related and not a platform limitation. I moved over three 980 Pros from the 7760, and was originally planning to grab a 2TB 990 Pro for the boot drive. But Gen5, pricing looks much cheaper, so it got me thinking and doing some research. The boot drive is isolated to the side, but there’s no dedicated heatsink setup for the drive. Looks like you’re relying on airflow and whatever thermal pads Dell is using. So the real question: Anyone actually running a Gen5 drive in one of these? If so, what drive and what temps are you seeing under sustained load? I'm leaning towards the 9100 since I have all Samsung now. Any throttling issues? I’m less concerned about peak speeds and more about real-world behavior, especially longer writes (video/render workloads). Curious what people are seeing before I go experiment on my own. Thanks in advance.

    I contacted Dell today to try and buy the quick access base and they said the chasis was different and I could not use it, is that correct? I have looked all over for the part number in an attempt to purchase and cannot find it. Pro Max 18 plus

    News: Since K3000M needs a GOP update and I don't want to do that. I used an HD 8970M from Clevo P570WM and I was able to disable the legacy options. Now the P3000M works M5000M (power boot looping) and 970M (8 beeps)

    too funny

    The one on aliexpress is almost 300 euros :)) The ones on TaoBao were like 150$
  24. SuperMG
    Yes the nubs, because the cable isn't long enough for the Dell nubs. My v2 fixes that. I went to the bios again. Legacy OPROM was on again. So I tried to disable it. "Can't find MXM or GOP driver" and the option got greyed... Even the FirePro M6100 does 8 beeps...
  25. ssj92
    Try the vbios and bios I mentioned above. are you referring to the 2 nubs on each side of the mxm port? The ones that need to be cut for HP cards? I also need to cut those just for backlight mod?
  26. ssj92
    675M is also a 580M, just need to flash vBIOS to 580M. Keep in mind 580M had lots of problems reliability wise. 560M is reliable but 580M I wouldn't buy unless it's cheap. No guarantee how long it will last.
  27. SuperMG
    Yes it's 120Hz, LP173WF2-TPA1. Yes LEGACY OPROM is disabled. Why Clevo cards do not work? They use eDP on D and they are Maxwell... Also for the backlight mod, since you're on Dell, you need to cute the tiny brackets on the mxm port.
  28. ssj92
    You bought a M17xR4 with 120hz panel? Awesome, now we can do some testing on AW platform. Now that is interesting that you cannot get them to work on eDP. Question...do you have a 60hz panel as well or only 120hz panel? According to @sliderfra you need to use dell vBIOS on those cards (maxwell, pascal) to get eDP to work. BTW Clevo 970M (my 980M is 1617 so maybe yours is 1618 device id) does NOT work in PEG on even the M18xR2 in LVDS in PEG. That is one of the things I am investigating on M17xR3 after I fix PEG on M3000M. Also I would test HP RTX 3000 as well. Make sure CSM if completely off (no legacy rom at all). You should see the "Alienware" text logo NOT the big alienware head when booting. Try these vBIOS: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/188273/188273 https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/207406/207406 alternative p3000 vbios: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cSkLAatyydOZxrcuFDXQBfJ7EGsTxxB9/view BTW there's a newer bios if you want to try: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X3lA4FtpY1hy7lywelJMNQgjORUQT4Gm/view

    Hello. Yes I know there are many threads online that people got the Pascal P3000, P4200, GTX 1070, and Maxwell GTX 970M, 980M to work in But I tried different cards: Quadro M5000M (Dell, eDP on D): not working Quadro P3000M (Dell, eDP on D): not working GTX 970M (Clevo, eDP on D): not working. All doing 8 beeps before posting. Bios is A11, UEFI BIOS, Legacy OPROM disabled. (Maybe not) Only the Quadro K3000M works... What did I do wrong? The CMOS battery is charged and doesn't cause any NVRAM loss. Any help? My initial test was to use an RTX 3000 from HP (eDP on D) but if these Pascal and Maxwell cards do not work then it's no use. The M17X R4 eDP is driven thru Parade's P8321 Mux Switch which supports DP 1.1a (2.7Gbps max). The mentioned cards are working in a Dell Precision M6700 eDP and in a Clevo P570WM3 eDP as well. (They work with the RTX HP) M6800 works with the RTX HP despite using a MUX switch, the Parade P8339B which supports DP 1.2 (2.7Gbps and 5Gbps) and HDMI 1.4a in.
