    I don't understand Is it about the X170 power issue with MXM? or is it about the backlight mod? Backlight mod: the new RTX cards don't have the hardware to enable and control the brightness. They are embedded cards designed for non-laptop use. There are no wires, it's N/A. A new BIOS/VBIOS won't fix it because it's purely a hardware issue. I tested many MXM RTX cards and laptops. Without backlight mod: no display in the main eDP display. With: displays in the main eDP display. However these cards work in Switchable Graphics mode but you can lose upto 10-20% performance depending on your laptop. (Haswell generation has a bug too in SG, fluctuating the TDP from 40/55W to 100W. This doesn't happen in PEG)

    I've read through both threads, and I understand that the issue happens because these cards are not outputting voltage on the pins that the cable mod supplants, but is this because the cards are physically lacking the hardware to do so or because the BIOSes don't support operating the backlight and thus don't activate the pins? Ergo, flashing a different BIOS wouldn't solve this problem because the circuits to drive those pins is just not there?

    I’m following this thread because I’m investigating similar WHEA-Logger Event ID 17 behaviour on a Pro Max 16 Plus. One question I have for people who have had Dell work on affected systems: were the removable PCIe devices ever physically isolated or substituted during troubleshooting? In particular: was the NVIDIA DGFF module ever replaced with a known-good module, rather than only changing drivers/settings or replacing the system board? was the Intel BE200 ever physically removed/replaced, rather than only disabled in Windows or BIOS? I’m asking because I’ve seen reports involving the same BE200 PCI ID (8086:272B) on some other recent systems, including Alienware and Acer machines, and I’m interested in whether anyone has compared those cases or performed a true hardware swap test. I’m not suggesting the BE200 is necessarily responsible. For context, Dell has already replaced the system board and NVMe SSD in my system and the behaviour remains. I also ran an Ubuntu Live comparison. Linux enabled PCIe AER and the BE200, NVMe and Intel graphics were present, but I did not observe the same Windows-style AER burst during that session. The NVIDIA GPU was detected but was not fully exercised under the Linux live environment, so I don’t regard that test as proving or excluding any particular component. I’d be interested to hear specifically from anyone who has had either the BE200 or DGFF GPU physically swapped or removed and whether that changed the WHEA behaviour or the intermittent stuttering.

    Hi all, just found the below for our cable build saga. Someone on the thinkpad forums hit similar issue for lvds 1. ⁠eDP -> LVDS adapter:https://e.tb.cn/h.8kNp2CawbSlReTo?tk=FLq9TdpACbP 2. ⁠eDP 40pin ->30pin: https://e.tb.cn/h.8lZV7mu4BxoANYC?tk=AYKSTdKbVim and https://a.aliexpress.com/_EG5DDMQ upd. 3. wacom-emr-digitizer to usb adapter project: https://github.com/bulat-chu/WACOM-ThinkPad-X60T-Digitizer again it’s TaoBao but might be useful

    Hey, can you please help me figure out how to flash the 1.15.1 bios onto my Dell Precision 7720? I'm dealing with the same problems you had with your laptop, its running hot & inefficient & I want my baby to last as long as possible. It has a Intel Xeon E3-1545M V5 & Quadro P4000, I'm hoping I could make it happen.

    Thanks to all of you, especially ssj92 for helping me to upgrade one of m18x r2s to the x-vision rtx 3080. The upgrade went quite easily as far as hardware but I will still need to tweak the bios and windows settings to get as much performance gain as possible. I will post 3d mark scores for others who might be interested In trying this upgrade as well.

    Refine 2 With the second chair, Fractal Design raises the bar even higher. At the end of 2024, the Fractal Refine impressed in testing despite minor deductions in the overall score. The Refine 2 now aims to score across the board.

    The leaders of the computer tech industry are bad people, with bad intentions, that have no honor and deserve no respect from any of us. The only thing any of them deserve is misfortune and tragedy, and I hope that both are visited upon them corporately and personally.

    Nvidia app update fails to block unofficial DLSS multi-frame generation mod on RTX 40 series gaming GPUs Modders discover unlock for DLSS Multi Frame Generation on RTX 40, NVIDIA blocks it, modders immediately unlock it again Even 4K is all too much for $5000 graphics cards This Still Feels Like Tech Demo Territory The performance we're seeing here is pretty much in tech demo territory. Sure, if you have a $5,000 GPU, you can get a playable experience at 4K and 1440p with DLSS 5 enabled. Outside of that, it's a bleak scenario. The RTX 5080 struggles at 4K, while the RTX 5070 is only borderline usable at 1440p. Whether the visual improvement is substantial enough to justify the enormous performance cost is the question that still needs an answer, but for now we've established just how expensive DLSS 5 is to run in current-gen hardware. xx60 series cards is almost useless with modern tech. Same for xx70 and xx80. Nice....... Microsoft limits its cloud service: Game Pass Ultimate will now only allow you to play 15 hours per month on Xbox Cloud. Microsoft has shot itself in the foot by announcing that it will be implementing time limits on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Specifically, starting in November of this year, cloud gaming will no longer be unlimited for subscribers Also MSI want every dime out of their graphics cards. $14 USD for every card helps on the bottom line. MSI RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB: +100 Yuan or US$14 MSI, GIGABYTE And Inno3D Jack Up RTX 50 And RX 9000 Prices Again, With RTX 5070 Buyers Facing A $90 Hit The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is the least affected GPU, but the GPU has already seen prices soar dramatically in the last month, reaching $800 or more in most regions. So, while a mere $14 price increase might not seem significant, it's going to make the situation even worse. As for GIGABYTE, the company is increasing the price of the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB as well, while other models are reportedly untouched.

  16. DylSki started following WTB - Alienware M17X R2 battery

    Hi, after a battery for one of these, dead or working. I’ve been looking for some time now and there is genuinely nothing available online 🫤 its bugging my OCD not having one in my system. based in the UK. Any leads to a battery which is in stock and isn’t £1200 would be a mega bonus. Thanks for reading.

    I am fully expecting you to snag one ASAP! 🤣 I did the exact opposite and we downsized from a monster sized house with a huge basement to a double wide since it is only the two of us now and the one thing I miss the most is the massive basement which was all mine and where I had multiple tables set up everywhere with room to spare. I had an "E" configuration with five 8' tables and closet space galore with a Vax 11/780 in the other corner I had picked up from the University of Penn they were tossing out back in the day. True fact, when we sold the house we left it in the basement because that thing was monstrous in size! It is the only reason I would entertain buying a small house with a same sized basement included is to set up my man cave again.

    Intel ME must be disabled only to address up to 128 GB of RAM - with other modification that dsanke has added. If you enable Intel ME, then up to 64GB of RAM can be addressed.

    Did you fix the high voltage spikes? Like 1.45V and above? What settings is it? Is it the load line calibration? I can't seem to find in my unlocked P775TM bios Also do you plan on getting a custom made much more powerful air heatsink for your laptop? That can also do watercooling and let's not forget to add the powerful fans for it (available on AliExpress). You'll get much better temps.

    Im so happy as i joined this forum and win raid as a complete newbie but now i can shunt mod and bios mod my own bioses confidently, im so happy with all the knowledge ive gained, SO MUCH THANKS EVERYONE I LOVE ALL OF YOU MY VERY DISTANT PUTER PROFESSORS
  23. SuperMG
    It's a P750 or a P775? p775TM1 has a limit of 188A and it's unlocked too. You could push to 250W

    I just edited the already existing eurocom bios, implemented the ME from the dsanke one, kept the special features this bios had factory from eurocom, and edited some things, but cranked all power and voltage regulators limits up, agressive LLC and shyt, but tbh it just unlocked the true potential of the chip i will investigate more as stated before i could already put -100mv on the cpu beforehand(also i havent slept so im zombie af)
  25. SuperMG
    What do you mean by that? You deceloped a new bios or you optimized the BIOS settings? If optimized, where did you set the Vcore? You mean 1.25V? 1.25mV is very very tiny.
  26. SOYOON
    Bro nevermind i managed to bios mod my own bios and now i have the power of the sun 5ghz stable at 1.25mv all cores, man im so happy i worked 8 hours into that
  27. SOYOON
    The me has to keep disabled?
  28. Yaheo R.
    @SuperMG Many many thanks 🙏 🌺 I'll postpone the GPU upgrade process at the moment and when the time comes I know just where to go.. Thanks again
  29. SuperMG
    It's a 4070. A 3060 I sold one for 300€.
  30. Yaheo R.
    @SuperMG What specific GPU we are talking about, is it a 3060? And are there any more affordable options? As for shipping I may arrange an UK West Midlands shipping address..
