Anyone else running 5070, 5080 or 5090 in AGA? For some reason my laptop doesn't stay asleep and transitions to off overnight. I just tweaked some settings in the power area. Hope that resolves as I am required to unplug/plug back in the AGA to get the 5080 to proper PCIe settings. I am hoping to just keep my stuff open and sleep overnight and wake fine.

Ty. I installed the new BIOS. Unfortunately that did not solve the issue.

So i'll buy disk with PCIe 4.Thank you guys.

Furtunately, i've solved this issue. Am i right there no need to downgrade BIOS from A15 to A12 original befire flashing unlocked ?

Get the ZRT RTX 4080/4090 and the best CPU available for that platform. I tested Optimus with the cable on. The brightness control works of course because the display is rooted from the iGPU. in dGPU, the display comes from the GPU. The brightness control may not work and you'll be stuck at 100%. Some motherboards allow brightness control without being dependent from the dGPU such as the Clevo P570WM3. On the M6800, the brightness control is dependent of the GPU. I'll make a version 2 of the backlight mod cable (once 80% of the v1 is sold). It'll have a manual tiny PWM slider to control the brightness (pin 27)

Well, we're talking about a specific laptop that has a specific processor socket for which there are no Xeon processors.

Ah yes, I have read some performance issues/limitations if it is working through Optimus. Does the backlight not work using Optimus? I will have a look at the RTX 4080 or 4090 ZRT version or Quadro RTX 5000 depending on your recommendations.

https://www.overclock.net/posts/29559222/ So I did more testing and this is where I am at now. My max boost is no longer hitting 5950 and maxing out at 5819. I will see if I can figure that out. Maybe I can deepen CO a bit more on one or two of my best cores and get that back. But, no more TM5 or Karhu errors. Passes fine now with PBO same as it did with manual OC. So, it was CO causing the errors and not memory. I also ran two iterations of CoreCycler without error. (Man, talk about boring... takes forever, LOL.) What is interesting is how the individual core SP ratings in the BIOS coincide with the stable CO negative offset. So far I have found cores with the same SP rating are stable with the same negative CO offset. I am sure there is some fine tuning to be done on top of that, but it might be a good starting point or point of reference in troubleshooting. With the current CO settings (5819 MHz vs 5950 MHz max clock) CPU-Z single thread shows a loss of about 8-10 points and multi-thread about 200 points loss. If I use "Balanced" power profile and enable core parking all core intensive benchmarks end up in the toilet. This is a Windoze garbage OS performance-destroying issue (Micro$lop calls it a "feature" LOL) and not hardware.

how i said, would be LGA 1150 with LP xeon, n more then enough ddr3 sodimm modules with ECC ava, bcs supermicro used them in their mini workstations

Awesome, thanks. That's the KF564S38IBK2-32 (16GB x2) DDR5-6400 CL38 262-Pin SODIMM Kit right?

@MiSJAH sure, buddy - here you are, those are my 24/7 ram timitngs at 7000 https://postimg.cc/gallery/ghnDBfG

Re-pasted over the weekend with the Thermal Grizzly version of PTM (supposedly the same just re-packaged in smaller/more manageable sizes), kept the original thermal pads because they were all still soft and tacky, I did move a couple because it looked like from factory they were only making half contact. Temps before (with undervolting and reduced clocks) and max fans. 11900f @ 4.2ghz, 90mv undervolt - Idle 60c+ / gaming 95-97c and throttling RTX3080 16gb - Idle 55c+ / gaming 80-85c and throttling. Temps after (with undervolting still) but fans on auto, usually at 10-15% idling and 30-40% gaming. 11900f @ 4.5ghz, 75mv undervolt - Idle 30-40c depending on usage prior / gaming 80c roughly. RTX3080 16gb +180mhz core +1200mhz memory (and undervolted) - Idle: same as CPU / gaming 50-58c That’s a HUGE reduction, I can use Helicon focus to stack 60+ photos without the fans kicking in despite 90% CPU load and 80% GPU load, same with Lightroom consuming 20gb ram and all 16gb VRAM. Still can’t get the BIOS to accept my memory settings no matter how I try, considering my photo editing software / games seem to run my GPU at 80-99% even with a +180mhz on the core and +1200mhz One thing I’ll say though is despite my 1080p screen being 72% NTSC (99% adobe RGB) the colours look completely different compared to my phone when editing is done and I’m uploading to Instagram, my work laptop looks almost identical to my phone. How much calibration is possible with these? Is it worth jumping to the 1440p screen if I can even find one? Based on the CPU, Ram, 4tb NVME and RTX3080 MXM I could potentially split the parts and make almost enough money to upgrade to a 5070ti laptop but tbh I’d rather keep this if I can get the colour space right, it’s a bulky beast but it works and it was cheap, plus it’s fun to tinker with.

5090 not exists yet. Just get the RTX 4080 ZRT or 4090 ZRT version. You need to have eDP display if you want a full dGPU performance + the backlight mod cable.

Which ones will you recommend? RTX 5090, RTX 4090 or Quadro RTX 5000? I want to give them a try!

And what Xeon processors are on the laptop socket g3? Just as I haven't seen any ECC memory in the DDR3 SO-DIMM format.

@MiRaGe Could you sharing your BIOS settings for your RAM please? I'd really appreciate it.

I could never get a blind bios flash to work on a Ranger @Maxware79 @Reciever ?? Resetting cmos is possible with memory insertion method, but as you have ascertained there are a LOT of screws to remove (to get all the dimm modules and cmos battery out)...stripped screws are just the cream on top.

Dell Pro Max 18 Plus with iGPU only works pretty well. Battery drain is OK - too much is typically caused by virus full scans and Windows Updates and sometimes the Windows search indexer goes crazy - If those processes are "sleeping" I get around 5 to 6 hours on light work with dimmed display. One glitch with the latest Dell provided Intel graphics driver which turns off the brightness control - brightness always max - Windows UI brightness controls do not work either - had to install the old driver and block Windows Update from installing new drivers automatically - sigh... So, the hardware seems pretty OK for my tasks - maybe the additional dGPU cause too much stress if CPU and GPU are used.

maybe on XEON mobile with ECC modules? edit: would be low power ones with LGA 1150 = desktop ones 🫠

take the PCIe 4.0 version, has newer controller n in most cases will be faster at 4k random files(those which r important for performance during daily use) + mostly higher write & copy speed at big files.

You're a bit misunderstanding the point. In the Dell 2010, the video BIOS is located on the graphics card board, not in the main laptop BIOS like in SOME HPs. I tried different versions to overclock the graphics card, but the chip and memory are very unstable. I also considered upgrading the memory to 512 MB instead of 256, but I never did. The laptop's BIOS itself doesn't support the MXM structure, and you won't be able to add it because the BIOS memory itself may not be large enough. and another side, mxm cards doesnt have LVDS outputs on board. needs take out pins on the adapter "dell-mxm"

Regarding your original starting question for this thread about the LG My gram software, I've not yet noticed any significant difference in power usage when My gram's battery saving mode is enabled. There would need to be long tests under controlled conditions to see if there is any overall difference and also figure out whether LG has done more than is offered by the standard Windows power options. I get the impression that the Intel Arrow Lake / Lunar Lake package (with some parts made by TSMC) provides a welcome improvement in power efficiency under light usage conditions. Overall, I'm not impressed by the user interface of the My gram software which brings all the LG controls into one place.

Yeah I did press him for further info but he never replied. The guy did also claim that 2133MHz RAM could work, which you guys have confirmed. I don't know why he'd lie about it. The only thing is I wasted about £70 on RAM... although I bought direct from China as a similar 64GB kit in the UK was like £5-600... and that was before the RAM crisis!

This is not a problem with the laptop itself, but a problem with the Intel processor. The 3rd and 4th generations do not work with modules larger than 8 gigabytes per channel. We tried this on different models and different laptops, and the result was the same everywhere. Even with modifications such as coreboot. It is rare to find mentions that someone has succeeded, but for some reason, there are no screenshots or videos to accompany these claims.

Ok, thanks
