I have them. Correct screen 50 pins and correct cables for webcam and eDP. No 3D emitter for it. 3D functionality doesn't work for Maxwell and above.

Do you potentially know part numbers for the 1080p panels? Even if it’s a non edp panel. I fear finding all the things for the 3d panel to work will be hard, not too sure what exactly I’ll need parts wise either.

I went with the #1= AMD 9950X3D2 (Mouth watering expensive), #2= ASUS X870E Dark Hero (This is the new Hero board with better PCIe release, it was an open box “Excellent” $559. This “Hero Dark” is absolutely NOT worth the regular retail of $699.99 for a Hero board.. 😂 I learned Ryzen is not exactly memory limited from the board with ram, so this swayed me away from the Apex X870 which had a few missing key features that I’d really like to have like 40Gbs USB-c), and finally #3= the (2x16GB) Corsair Dominator Titanium Z30 6000c30 kit. I sourced the kit else where at a much much better price though. I wanted to explain my reasoning behind wanting the Dominator Titanium “Z30” kit. I did some research, and these sticks overclock VERY VERY well. So, this had me intrigued and they were like half the price of the normal MSRP on BestBuy. Also, the very main REASON WAS! The cooling is actually good on these Dominator Titanium rams, I was not planning to water cool my dimms right away. And I know what ram temps are like on DDR5 and getting errors due to temps. I remember my Bdie Dom Platz OCed well, and ran very cool! These should run even cooler. So much back and forward wanting a 270KP, then a regular 9950X3D, then a 14900K or KS, then maybe a 9850X3D. I just said F it… Let’s try AMD, I would like heavy lifting power outside of gaming, and X3D capability as well. Since I do not have a 9850X3D or a 9950X/9950X3D etc; the 9950X3D2 made the most sense in my mind. 😀

Those are all fair points. Thank you Aaron, I will setup a service.

Yes. Source is max 1080p 60Hz. The cables I used, work with The HDMI in of a previous M18X R2 with Windows 10 I had.

Only thing to note, the “Alienware” text isn’t compatible. R3/R4 use different cable for the AW text. Everything else is compatible.

So it’s on a black screen? The source is 1080p 60hz or less?

@DylSkiI sell that if you want. It's the whole assembly + it's red nebula, doesn't have the 3D emitter though. Today I came back and I stripped apart a m17x R4 I had because no one wants to buy it. The assembly is compatible with R3 because it's the LGD02C5 screen.

I believe that any issues "caused" by the technician or replacement parts are covered for 90 days, even if your warranty expires in the meantime. If they propose an upgrade, you can always decline.

Yes it says that but no signal just a backlight on.

I highly recommend finding the 120hz 3D panel because it’s much higher quality and you can use better GPUs such as P5000/P4000 or even RTX 3000-5000. Right now I’m working on getting 4090 to work. I can easily do 4.0Ghz on my 2920XM without any additional voltage. p5000 will give you 2x performance of 980M in games.

If the OSD says HDMI IN when you plug it in then it should work.

Joined in. I have better luck in RU.efi doing below: Alt-F to enter menu bar Choose EFI Variables and then the scroll to the EFI Variables -> Setup Use Control + PgDwn to get to proper addresses. Control + w to write before Quit and reset.

Checking my settings in RU.efi the eGPU root port was already set. I did the 2080 RTX disable, PEG and internal Gfx disable.

I hope that your hard work and faithfulness is recognized by your employer and pays off in compensation equal to the time and effort. It generally does when you are working for a respectable organization. Good companies know that good employees are hard to replace and need to be retained. It's sad how things are turning to crap for our hobby. It's hard to get excited about anything from AMD, Intel or NVIDIA. Not only because of abusive, predatory pricing. Everything is riddled with compromises and mediocrity in one or more areas. Hardly anything is awesome. Even the extremely retarded price of a 5090 gets you a GPU that has been deliberately castrated in terms of power and voltage controls needed for overclocking excellence, a dangerously inept power delivery mechanism (12VHPWR) and dishonest, unreliable warranty handling by the OEMs and retailers. It applies to DDR5 and NVMe failures as well as GPU failures. "Sorry, we took your money, sold you a defective parts, but you're on you own now because we make more money selling the same parts to AI data centers for 150-300% more than what you paid for them." Now even Best Buy is selling "open box" GPUs with no core and memory. Clearly they did not bother testing anything before putting it on the shelf. This video from Alex should help the victimized customer get a refund. I'm surprised it wasn't handled and made its way into a video like this.

From cold boot the 5080 has incorrect PCIe settings. As if the BIOS picks a "bad handshake". The only workaround found is to allow boot to Windows. Disable, unplug, replug the AGA inside of windows. Then stable connection is established. You can see all the screenshots and progress in the AGA thread. What stinks is that if I leave the AGA plugged in overnight with the laptop on suspend or hibernate the system crashes. Comes up cold boot.

Lovely stuff! Excited to try the overclocking via bios, modifying turbo multipliers on the 940x was very finicky for me when using throttle stop on the M15X in terms of gpus for gaming the 980m would be the best choice in terms of cards? I do have my 970m in the m15x which I’ll probably pull out for the time being until I buy another from china.

This month's Windows 11 update broke the Recycle Bin, OneDrive, and possibly your PC's stability Bugs remain a major problem despite Microsoft's emphasis on improving the user experience

Yann LeCun says xAI is "kind of a failure" – and the whole AI industry might be headed for a reset Big quote: Yann LeCun isn't buying the current AI boom – or at least not the way it's unfolding. In a recent interview with CNBC, one of the "Godfathers of AI" and AMI Labs founder took aim at both the business model and the underlying technology of today's leading AI companies, suggesting the industry could be headed for a correction. Along the way, he singled out Elon Musk's xAI as a company facing particular trouble.

Tried with RTX 3080 and K3000M. I use windows 11

You'll be happy to know I just released a BIOS mod for this that allows up to 980M/M5000M to work in LVDS PEG mode or P5000 in eDP 120hz PEG mode. (up to RTX 5000 is working on the next version I will release). In SG mode you are limited to DX11 so most GPUs will work but be stuck in DX11. Also my BIOS let's you OC 2920XM/2960XM to your hearts content straight in the BIOS.

Agreed, I can't see the upside for the price for a 9950X3D2. Find one priced the same as a 9950X3D? Sure, why not, let's have some fun but current status? It just doesn't make sense at least for my use case. I know you would have fun with an Arrow Lake setup @Mr. Fox. Even better DDR5 OC'ing than Raptor and then some and a much more nuanced approach to overclocking. It will truly leave your memory sticks gasping for air potentially even in G2 let along G4.....

Have you tried a different GPU? What GPU are you trying it with?
