[WIP] Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker
JadeRover replied to JadeRover's topic in Components & Upgrades
Ok, because the v1.0 will not work i made a mistake for the clock calculations -
I would love to test it on my m18x r1. I just secured a m2000m + Tesla m6. But I’m looking forward to get a 980m and rtx3000 as well. I’m curious to find out if SG would work with a single Tesla m6 if possible too?

DX12 on M17xR3 Finally? Fastest in the Universe! Another MXM Upgrade
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
I always wanted to try it. I think P/N are different for R3 & R4 -
https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases/download/20260408/iasl-win-20260408.zip download this zip, extract, run: acpidump.exe -b then zip the folder and upload. Use SG & do once in PEG if you can. I'm trying to fix SG mode on R3 and it might help me. Thanks

No, it's weird. Pascal works (with the "engineering vbios"), turing works, literally everything works except maxwell 2(gm204). My bios mod allows 980M to work in PEG. If some of you guys have maxwell 2 cards I can provide a test bios to see if it fixes PEG on 980M.

no I haven't tried that one yet
- Today

Eluktronics Hydroc G2 / Uniwill IDY 2025
win32asmguy replied to win32asmguy's topic in Uniwill (TongFang)
Yeah not exactly sure how the memory cover is supposed to help temps. I'd be willing to try heatsinks to see if they are more effective. On the legion 9i I get significantly lower memory temps. I think it helps that it has four slots with only two populated so plenty of room around each module. It also has a vapor chamber so there is less heat bleed from the CPU and GPU to the memory. Unfortunately the insyde h2o bios is very picky with memory tuning so any real tuning has to be done in the OS post boot. -

Thanks. Yup, i had a stroke. The mr machine showed that. I need to stay longer now in the hospital and take more tests and the doctors need to find a medicine I need to take rest of my life😢 -
Alienware M17x R4, Struggling to get 3D Working
true2456 replied to Durabat's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
How did the 3d look? I've got a r4 in the cupboard and always wondered what it was like. -
So would this workaround also work for the 980m? Running a m2000m in the primary and 980m in the secondary slot?

Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
I had a 3080 in a SG and I was getting 9100 score in TimeSpy, The same card with the same settings, got me 11500 in dGPU eDP. Even on my RTX 5000 Ada with iGPU on, I was losing 10-15% performance, Dell Precision 7780. eDP is preferred because you can upgrade to better displays (not in M6800) and it's in DisplayPort standard with full dGPU performance. dGPU > SG -

Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
Nizmeïster replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
I already have the cable for the backlighting. I have the 4060, which will be perfect in the Precision 7720. I had tested the 4060 in an MSI GT60 before, but unfortunately, even though the card worked very well, the EC (Electromagnetic Computing) would go into panic mode with the fans running at full speed, and there was also a problem with the DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, which was a deal-breaker for me. So I wanted to see if a solution like the A3000 would work better on those models, or failing that, a 3060 or 3070. If it works on the 17 R4, maybe it would work on the MSI too. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
In gpu bound situations, the 3080 performs well. look at the gpu score and compare to native 3080 laptops. Honestly, I regret not buying 4090 MXM when it was only $950. now it's $1300 keep in mind it's a 115w card. I'm going to sell the v1 backlight mod cables on ebay that I bought since I cannot use them in my AW. Apparently they work fine in Clevo/MSI. -

Nizmeïster replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
And your 3080 isn't too bottlenecked by the processor? I still have a GT60 running Ivy Bridge that I just repaired. I might consider a Quadro A3000, for example, or even an A4000, we'll see... I also still have a Precision 7720 where I need to put a 4060, but I need to check something about the backlight mod. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
it's not even 10-15%. I'm running 3080 in my M18xR2 and it runs fine. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3920XM Processor Extreme Edition,Alienware M18xR2 2133mhz ram helps and 4.4ghz on cpu will help too -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
Nizmeïster replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Because of the 10-15% performance drop? I'm asking to know if the card is still viable even if it doesn't necessarily perform at 100%. I ran Optimus for a long time with a Quadro RTX 3000 and a GT60, and frankly, it worked very well! -

Do these cards work in Optimus mode? -

No they don't have backlight pins. -
Finally the new RTX MXM cards will work in our laptops!
Nizmeïster replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Hi, I bought one of your cables a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure I've correctly located the backlight pins on my 4060 for the Precision 7720. It looks like my pins aren't arranged exactly like the diagram, even though it's an X-Vsion 4060. I'm actually waiting for a modified heatsink from Cicichen to install the card. If you could give me a hand and tell me the pins in the attached photo, that would be great! Thanks! -
In that case, why not try a card bought from Aetina? You can ask them for a quote for what you want. Otherwise, I think the Quadro RTX A4000/A4500/A5000/A5500 are really interesting price-wise, with PayPal buyer protection. It's worth a try at X-Vsion. I think it might even perform better than a 4060; it seems to be a better match in terms of outputs, etc.
