That's just the MXM standard of 10A, they copied it from their reference sheet probably. These arae the ones with the external power connector ? The connector is the same as the one in the XM and KM ? Yes I would agree with this, the simplest way to find out is to use a multimeter and touch one of the big pads while the computer is on, there isn't much risk as the pads are big and an accidental short to ground is unlikely. If this is the case, that it is not connected, the fix would be to solder a wire from the main power rail (19v when the charger is plugged in, 12v when the battery is), the other voltages, 5 volts and 3.3v are probably connected as they don't have an "NC" marker.

I have not had much time to do anything with the Raider either. My wife's Ford Explorer needed a new water pump, and that meant all timing components had to come out (and many replaced due to mileage). Its finally back together but still needs the active grill shutter to be replaced as well so that is next weekends project. The Raider generally does fine with the previous tuning config which focuses on low VSOC. Sometimes I still get the 10 seconds of lag / stuttering but I am hoping that is just video driver issues. I did get a Video TDR failure bugcheck reboot the other day but unsure if it was driver or ambient heat related issue. It may need PTM redone anyways as I probably messed it up when I pulled the heatsink to swap the display. I technically need to pull the heatsink again anyways so I can properly slip the hinge covers under the palm rest which is only possible before screwing down the hinges. Not exactly the best design but still way easier than pulling the display apart to swap the panel itself. The "new" 2026 G16 SKU with the same specs is much higher price so I think you got a great deal there. It was an open box correct? Hopefully you can at least stability test it before Amazon's return period lapses. G-Helper should work fine best I can tell. Others with the 9955HX variant reported usage results on Github so I cannot imagine the HX3D variant being any different. -

Siplast replied to emcze's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Was able to get flex ratio to 32 after disable and boot back into bios but the 3940 i have would not go past 4.6. I guess ill borrow the 2133 from my other m18x r2 and just populate 2 sticks in the bottom instead of 2 up top and two on bottom. This should increase my oc and make it more stable if I tighten the timings. I also have two other 3940xm's stored away loose and one in my M17x r4. Looks like a project for the weekend. Thanks for the input !- 45 replies

If it's cold, it means no power. VRAM and Core are cold. P3000 has a strange behavior. It's cold too but makes the laptop shutdown 5-6 seconds after powering on. Meanwhile the 3080, 4070 and 4090 standard MXM are all cold but don't make the laptop shutdown, it stays on idle.

The custom cpu heatsink has a copper radiator/fins while the OG one only has an aluminum one. One of the m18x r2's that i have (my secondary unit) has the same model 3940xm, same model cooling pad and same thermal conductors. Only difference is that it has a gtx 1080 and the CPU is not as OC'd as my main rig (all cores being 46) and OG 3pipe heatsink and it STILL gets much hotter than the one in my primary rig that has the copper radiator/fins. I mean, this is my experience with this custom heatsink anyway. Could be that some people got a fake copper radiator one? I have heard of that happening. But cicichens never done me wrong (My only gripe is he cant/wont make me a custom heatsink for my 17x r4's 3940xm ...yet lol). Could also be that the CPU i got for my secondary was maybe used. I dont remember if it was or wasn't since it was a few years ago, but i just upgraded my primary rig to a newer/open box 3940xm. Could also be i dont use that other rig nearly as often as my primary as its my secondary and PTM 7950 gets better and better the more you use it. I got mine up to 4.79 GHz (see my Task Manager pic). All cores being set to 48 and the flex video being 48 (BIOS reference pic). I have the flex at 49 now but i dont see much a difference in performance, but im too lazy to change back to 48 lol. I will probably change it back to 48 the next time i have update my RTX 3080 since i have to lower my OC because having it so high blue screens my machine every time i update the GPU. I do recommend getting a stronger adapter for your rig though if you plan on going that high with the CPU seeing as that GPU is power hungry and idk if you can OC that high (while having that GPU) with the 330w adapter. Last time tried to do that it was all cores and flex at 47 and games/browsers/other apps would close randomly out of nowhere every time, so i just assumed it was a power issue (and i had the Quadro P5000 in my main rig at the time). If that 780w adapter is too expensive (I dont blame you) I have seen a 400w adapter in my Ebay feed. Maybe that would be good for it both those components? Wait, theres also a fan mod for the RTX 3080? First time ive heard of it. Where do i get? That water cooling for an m18x r2???- 45 replies

Mr. Fox replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
And the cynical part of me wonders how many of these GPUs are stock they held back to create fake demand that were produced before the RAM prices got all effed up and now they are functioning as first-party scalpers, screwing their "customers" just because they can rather than passing on actual production costs as necessary to maintain an operationally viable profit margin. I have nothing to base it on, but my belief is all of them until there is evidence that proves otherwise. Hoping for the best, but always assuming the worst, is the best approach. (That assumption is frequently accurate.) -

Still no problem get 5090's. But you pay a huge amount money. I expect the gamers don't buy them anymore. Only people that really need the 32GB frame buffer. Lots of ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC = 5,328,61 United States Dollar (MSRP). Cheapest 5090 is the Gainward GeForce RTX 5090 Phantom GS - 4,676,12 USD🙄 And where will this ends? It seems the aib partners don't need to touch the prices for the 5090's right now. They are already above $5000. Now they try pump up the prices on the mid tier cards.

AMD 9070xt officially AMD's most popular GPU on Steam....at least some buyers understand it is the best bang:buck on the market by far --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newegg is sold out of all 5090s (shipped and sold) except a combo deal with the Asus 20th edition combo along with a 9950X3D2 Amazon shipped and sold out of stock. Just scalpers scalping as always..... Best Buy is completely sold out of 5090s BH Photo is completely out of stock My local Microcenter only has three 5090s in stock with a grand total of 4 units on hand all $5k+ and the Gigabyte Infinity has gone up $100: @Papusan how is the stock situation over in the EU? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man.... if you had just held onto it a bit longer you could have gotten 50% more for it.... That lack of BIOS flashing was the deal breaker.... Astral is still the best looking card this generation IMHO but I do love the lit up Dragons on my Vanguard. While you did pay a bit more over an already inflated MSRP, the fact it goes for $5k now if you can even find it in stock was a good call if you wanted to ride the 5090 to 2028. -------------------------------------------------------------------- @win32asmguy DLSS5 on WoW looks pretty bonkers graphics wise, wow..... Any updates on the Raider? I haven't had time to really play with the G16 9955HX3D + 5070ti but it's still sitting on the table waiting 🤣 -

So we need to use the entire 8 pin power cable and solder 12V 5V to the MXM? Risky Why does the diagram state "200W (20x10A)" for the MXM slot if there are no power? On the P775TM that's the same schematics for E1 TO E4. Let's not forget the GTX 10 and RTX 20 from Clevo don't work in the X170KM in PEG. in SG it works with a modded BIOS but only one time! Reboot the laptop and the GPU isn't detected. So there's a something else...

The fan noise on my 17Z90SP was fine, even on the normal fan setting, under light usage. The problem was that a burst of higher CPU load would cause the fans to be noisy if on the normal fan setting while there was a noticeable reduction in performance if I selected the low fan setting. LG's method for controlling fan noise is to control the CPU power as shown in the table above with the PL1 and PL2 limits. There doesn't appear to be any visible difference in the fans in the SP (photo in this discussion) but there may well be less visible changes in cooling system or the rules controlling the fan speed. The SP may be fine for your needs. For a while I thought mine would be fine but the occasional bursts of fan noise became annoying. The TP seems to have a better balance between fan noise and performance which may partly due to the newer CPU but I suspect a big factor was that someone in LG spent a little time refining the thermal management settings. The result is that I'm getting satisfactory performance without any noticeable fan noise.

I was happy with the 5090FE for its price tag and base level 5090 performance. It was only $1,999.00, not even $1,999.99. 😂. So for that price tag it’s really good. I had it apart too many times and it held up great, but I was super careful. I didn’t like that I couldn’t flash the bios. But then again, my 5090 Astral OC runs the original stock 600w bios and it’s not even shunted, but I have tried the XOC bios once. I’m so much happier with the Astral though, I can’t exaggerate that enough, even though the Astral was $3700. It’s just a far better GPU. Performance is significantly better on the Astral too compared to a stock air-cooled FE. The Astral is freaking massive, and I do not like and would not trade for a 5090 FE. 😎 -

Crazy how when Nvidia needed the PC market and enthusiasts they were there with all the crazy ideas and letting AIBs do what they wanted because they needed the market share and us, yet as soon as they capped off dominating since Pascal, they have slowly but sure tightened and locked down all that made them great. Jensen really gets on stage and spews that tripe and expects people to eat it up. But alas, the golden rule continues to be in effect and right now the Nvidia product stack reigns surpreme. It very much reminds me of Intel at the top forcing new chipsets every cycle, rehashing old nodes and technologies, spoon feeding us performance increases and locking out features to maximize profits expecting brand loyalty till AMD came in guns blazing and now Intel has had no choice but to bring it all to the table each and every cycle and now they're going to offer socket longevity because, well, they have to to hope to recapture and hold consumers. Heck, we're even getting bLLC to compact X3D! This all reminds me when AMD legitimately scared Nvidia with the 6000 series and lost market share. With that fear lighting their fire, 4000 series brought everything they had to the table full tilt (and a cost to match) and they just left AMD in the dust. 5000 series has extended that overall performance lead, but again, all reports point to RDNA 5 being a wrecking ball...... Being fancy for the sake of being fancy........ problematic connector and the revised edition still problematic. Maybe third time is the charm? -
