    Its usually not targeted persay. Lots of bot farms out there just raining hell on any IP address range they decide for that day of the week. Internet is closer to the real world than people care to admit

    Hello everyone! What are your typical boot times for a Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (MB16250)? Mine is frustratingly slow. Otherwise working great. The power up sequence looks like this: 0. sec: Simple Dell logo for ~9 sec after pushing the power button 9. sec: "Secured with Dell SafeBIOS" text also appears for ~19 sec 28. sec: Windows loading animation for ~23 sec 51. sec: Finally at the logon screen I have the latest BIOS that was set to defaults. The machine has 128 GB CAMM2, so that can probably add some extra boot time, but this much? I can see the ~19 sec "SafeBIOS" time is not unusual: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/1sx9xtz/the_new_dell_pro_max_laptops_spend_18_seconds_in/

    Motorola Moto G Stylus 2026 (with freebie buds and tags). Current phone doesn't want to read my SIM anymore (second time this month) and that's a good enough excuse for a replacement.

    Hi, That's great job! Too bad I sold my alienware 17 already, I would've tested it with the RTX 3000, as the TDP bug happened on it.

    I dual boot but consider Kubuntu my primary operating system. Winduhz exists only as a necessary evil. My intent is that Windoze is only to be used as a temporary stop gap solution. It is unfortunate that so many people define an "upgrade" as moving to something newer. All too often newer is not better, but newer is a regression. This is precisely the situation with Windoze. Newer is not better. Windows 10 was a downgrade from Windows 7. Windows 11 is a downgrade from Windows 10. Each build update introduces things that nobody wants that only Micro$lop benefits from. More control for Micro$lop and less freedom for end users. End users are not customers. What they want is irrelevant to Micro$lop. The laziness and resistance to change of human beings is a well-established fact and it is something that has allowed Micro$lop to survive. It's easier for the average person to surrender and submit, and Micro$lop know that gives them freedom to do things that suck. People will continue using an inferior product that many of them despise because it requires no effort, even if it costs them money to take the lazy and lame path that uses none of their brain cells, requires no effort or learning, and allows them to avoid change. They will stick with what feels most familiar even though doing so it not ultimately in their best personal interest. Ignorance is bliss.

    Just happened out of the blue. Ironically enough, I just created the "Improving Cooling / Fans Upgrade In Clevo" thread, and 10 hours later my Clevo P751TM1-G suddenly dies. What happened: So I was watching YouTube, then the laptop suddenly turned off. This was accompanied my some very quiet sound of, well I don't know how to describe it plus everything happened too quickly, maybe a click, maybe something else, I don't know, but there was some quiet short strange sound I'm quite sure. Then I tried to turn it on, I think the power LED blinked orange, maybe 1 time, maybe 2, I don't know. And then, the entire system stopped reacting to anything in any way. Pressing power button - nothing happens. Power adapter is plugged - no LED light, no anything. It pretty much seems just dead. I've currently removed the heatsink, CPU and GPU. I think, there was a burnt smell a bit to the left from the center, where the power port and CPU are, but the smell was weak, could feel it only when holding my nose a few cm away. Or maybe this is the standard smell of heated electronics? And, the only strange visual thing I've noticed is the strange gradient of that black thing surrounding the main GPU chip. You can see it on the attached images. Does this look bad, or is it normal? In any case, I tried to plug the charger with these parts removed and see if the orange power LED is back, and it's not. I guess in order to reach the power block i need to continue the disassembly, but for now I'll just wait for some replies. I'm ready to disassemble further and take images of various parts upon request. What could this be? Can it be repaired or replaced? What/where should I check? I would be thankful for any tips or help. I really hope the solution can be found. If it's the end, it will be a huge loss, and a fullstop of doing all tasks, processes, duties, work, and pretty much everything, until a new barebone+motherboard is found-ordered-received.

    Hello eveyrone, Ok so this problem applies only to MXM gpus that have a "pwr" limit (as well as "thrm" limit sometimes) in GPU-Z when doing a benchmark. This is also known as the "40w power bug" Such example : Notice this is not due to hitting the power limit of the card (33% of TDP). Symptoms of the low power bug is a TDP usage around 50% = 40w if you have a TDP of 80w. I think I found the issue. It has to due with a digital signal that is sent to the GPU, the PWR_LEVEL signal : A previous fix was to block the SMB_DAT or SMB_CLK signal so that the EC chip of the laptop wouldn't be able to communicate with the MXM dGPU. This has the disadvantage of stopping all data communication between EC and MXM dGPU = no more thermal data coming in = EC usually ramps up the GPU fan to maximum. According to MXM 3.1 documentation : This signal is not mendatory and it does apply some kind of power reduction when enabled. Therefore I took a gamble and decided to cover it up and see what happens. My fix is to block off the PWR_LEVEL pin with a bit of tape. - I first put some normal paper scotch tape on my plastic desk (to get it nice and flat during cutting process) - I cut it into a thin strip with a very sharp cutter(width of MXM pin) - I removed it from my plastic desk, then applied it with tweezers. The pin is the 9th counting from the first "thin" pin, on the TOP of the MXM module aka side of the MXM gpu where there is the actual GPU die : It's okay if you cover up the 8-5th pin as well as these are reserved pins (no connection inside a laptop) I did this on my dell precision 7720 with GTX 1060M and this has so far resolved the issue, my card can now boost to 100w thanks to the modded bios. Hope this helps someone !

    Oddly enough, again, the CPU magically worked. I just allowed it to sit there and now it posts as if nothing happened. Even with the NVIDIA Quadro P3000 installed with modded drivers. Genuinely, no idea what I did.

    I'm looking for the ways to improve cooling on my Clevo P751TM1-G having i9-9900K + RTX 2080. But the thread is useful for P75xTMx(-G)/P75xDMx(-G)/P775TMx(-G)/P870DM(-G)/X170KM-G/etc too, as the fans are physically the same in all of them. The CPU in my Clevo is undervolted and configured to have the all-core frequency of 4.2GHz (sometimes having to set it to 4.1GHz). Higher than that makes it run too hot. Given that the CPU's default all-core frequency is 4.7GHz and can be overclocked all the way up to 5GHz, there's certainly a huge theoretical performance improvement potential. Would be grateful for any recommendations / tips! :-) In particular, I'm curious about the potential fans upgrade. The default fans both on the CPU-side (Left) & GPU-side (Right) in P751TM1-G are: ADDA, 6-31-P7753-100, 180925, 00DM3, DC 12V, 0.5A, 17 leaves I'm quite sure there should be various different models of fans that are swap-in-compatible with the Clevo's default fans. Has anyone upgraded their fans to more powerful ones? If yes, could you share the model names? Here's how I would prioritize power vs. noise: 1. Ideal case - a model that is both more powerful/better-cooling and quieter :-) 2. A more powerful and better-cooling model, without caring about its noise. 3. A model that is the same as the Clevo's default fans in performance, but quieter. PS: Fans is the most obvious upgrade idea that comes in mind, but are there any other possible cooling-hardware update options or other ideas?

    I've seen an old post of rainer124 claiming, that he got a 980m to work in a p150hm/p170hm, already dm'ed him about it, very curious about his response
  21. SuperMG
    I already told this won't work. The BIOS is so wacky and strange, it'll accept max GTX 680M or HD 7970M in the master slot. Clevo made the worse bios ever for X7200, D900F and P170HM... Anything new won't work. I already tried on the X7200. For some reasons the Maxwell cards in master slot work for Clevo M980 and X8100.
  22. momo25
    I mean, sure its bottlenecked but it will be anyway by the first gen i7 even the 990x so wouldnt mean that much.
  23. momo25
    Nah, wanna keep my d900f. The x8100 has a mobile cpu. This adapter claims to use full x16 bandwidth
  24. SuperMG
    ExpressSlot uses less bandwidth than the MXM slot. I do not recommend any eGPU configuration as you need an external power and your desktop GPU will get severely bottlenecked by the bandwidth. mPCIe is faster than ExpressSlot by not a lot too. MXM slot = 2.0 x16 SLi in use = 2.0 x8 Just get a Clevo X8100 instead.
  25. momo25
    I heard from another user its x16 2.0?
  26. SuperMG
    Anything newer that's plugged in the master MXM slot of the LVDS laptop won't work. GTX 770M, 780M, K3100M, K5100M, 880M aren't working too! Yes you can use eGPU from the ExpressSlot but the speed is at PCIE 2.0 x2, it's worse than the slave MXM slot which runs at x8. For some reasons, the X8100 accepts GTX 980M, M5000M, 780M, etc...
  27. momo25
    Cuz I wanna have a reason to keep it, its a great machine ^^
  28. momo25
    Hmm... what about one of those weird mxm to pcie egpu adapters?
  29. SuperMG
    No you can't do anything. I asked for modders to find the solution for that for the X7200 but no one answers, it's a lost cause. I was able to do HD 7970M (green PCB, no audio) + RTX 3000 and it worked. I was losing a bit of performance maybe because my CPU wasn't Overclocked.
  30. momo25
    I've seen a gtx 880m working in this, was a listing on ebay so it's definitely gonna work if done right.
