Hammock - We Are More Than We Are Hammock - We Were So Young

What have changed the last months @Mr. Fox?🙄 August update crashes games and has bugs such as black screens The August update for Windows 11 (KB5121003) can cause games like Arc Raiders to crash and is struggling with other problems.

Latest win updates done on the ltsc's, all well as always :O)

pretty cool, couldve gone 50 other ways straight to gpu melting hell instead 😄

I am actually kind of surprised they have not already blown the way I have pushed this GPU for benching. I've run way more than they should have allowed me to, but Steel Nomad is famous for the massive power spike in the first couple of seconds and I think that experimenting with the 2000W vBIOS together with the shunt modding was the straw that broke the camel's back for the fuses. I normally have used a 800W or 1000W BIOS.

Hello. Won't the RTX 4070 MXM fix your issue? It performs like the 3080 150W and it only uses 115W. You need to cool down its VRAM chips too. The GDDR6 on those can achieve 90C max if well cooled. The VRM don't get too hot and I never had any shutdown issue with it. Second option: You can use an older Nvidia driver, it's a bug that allows to set the power limit.

I upgraded my p775dm3 to a 2080 super, and it all works OK; however the modifications I had to do to the cooler and unholy stacks of thermal pads I had to make to get contact with the VRM makes me weary of the 200w power limit of the card, I also notice that the system does experience a hard shutoff if I run a GPU stress test for an extended period of time. (I assume the VRM is having a thermal limit trip). MSI afterburner and similar linux utilities do not seem to know much about the card, and I am not able to lower the power limit in them. (I did have to do the inf mod for Windows drivers and I am on Wayland in Linux, so perhaps it is just a coincidence and both of those two are actually causing the issue). I know it may sound stupid, but I am pretty worried about the VRMs overheating and/or the card drawing too much power from the laptop not desiged for it, so I would like to find a way to lower the power limit maybe to 180w or 150w. Anybody have a VBIOS for the clevo 2080 super with a reduced power limit? Secondly, I am a bit confused about BIOSs for this laptop, as I understand there are some BIOSs that change the ID such that the inf mod is not needed on Windows. Currently, the laptop has an older version of Dsanke bios (had it when I got it), probably pre-rtx. For a daily-driver, would it be better to update to the latest dsanke version (maybe one with rtx support) or to go with a Prema bios? What is considered to be the 'best' bios for performance option unlocking as well as daily stability and full functionality?

Basically a stack shift to shoe horn in a very poor card where a 9060 should go while those former prices have all shifted up and will most likely continue to shift upward. This card is bad for the price. If it was $199.99 it suddenly becomes an ok budget card but $280? And this was the 8GB version..... I can imagine the 4GB version is just going to be extreme trash versus just normal trash on this one. WOW......I mean I'm glad to see the fuses doing their job but damn..... Hopefully this will be a quick and easy fuse swap and upgrade, but yikes.

Hi, Purchased a sweet nebula red unit to go alongside my other red M15X I'm planning on swapping over the i7 940XM & GTX 970M (6GB) into this M17X R2, then eventually buy the same parts again to go back into the M15X. BIOS: Currently on version A6. Would i be able to update the bios without the battery? Using my genuine 240W dell charger. I would like to use an unlocked bios as my intention with this machine is to do some cpu overclocking. I was heavily limited to just turbo boost multiplier adjustments on my M15X. GPU: Do these M17's accept newer mxm cards like this Dell 970M i have? Down the line if possible it would be cool to throw dual 980M's inside this thing. Display: Sadly this ones a 1440 x 900 panel. Can i simply install a new WUXGA LCD providing its the same pin layouts / matching specs of a standard WUXGA these shipped with new? Battery: As expected, the battery is not present. Where could i find a half decent aftermarket one to? Bottom cover rubber feet: Some of rubbers have gone missing, Is there a decent alternative i could use? Any help / info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Everything we discussed was done right from the start, yet the problem persists. I’ve noticed that the card heats up—meaning there is power—but the system and BIOS absolutely do not detect it. I’m not sure if flashing a Dell VBIOS would help.

Check the following 1) install A11 unlocked Bios 2) From advanced menu, select SG mode 3) Put the system in UEFI mode (might help) 4) Reboot, enter Bios and check in the main Page and check if you see both Intel GFX and Nvidia GFX in the GPU section 5) Proceed with windows install

Looking like maybe an Alienware 16X Aurora with an Intel Ultra 7 270HX Plus or Ultra 9 290HX Plus? And an 8GB RTX 5060 or 5070? And then 32 or 64GB RAM. How's that look?

Well, it seems the 12VHPWR fuses are blown on my 5090. I was launching Steel Nomad with a heavy overclock and the card turned off (red light for 12VHPWR came on). I checked the three fuses for the 12VHPWR with my mullti-meter and all three are open. So, I ordered new fuses from Mouser. I am going to add a 4th fuse to the open solder pads for F1 that Zotac did not populate. That should take it from 720W fuse limit to 960 with the 4th 20A fuse. I checked the output side of the fuses against ground and there is no short. I think the massive power spike lauching Steel Nomad was just too much too sudden. In one way it sucks because it is very inconvenient, but in another way it is awesome that they did exactly what they are supposed to do. This will give me a reaspm to test my new soldering tweezers. Should be (hopefully) fairly easy to replace them.

So Xvsion just came out with an RTX 5090 mxm card...Chances of it working on an M18x r2? I Just got my 3080 so im not looking to upgrade anytime soon, its just interesting and funny this new card is out now lol.

Thanks 👍 I tried what you said and the temps dropped almost instantly. It's mostly hanging in the upper 50s though so I'm guessing the pad either was never installed or it's not sitting right. Last thing I wanna do is take apart this thing 😭

Haven't bought a Dell in years, still using my 7740... Wow, their new naming scheme is confusing!

Hi all! Have a family member starting architecture school, looking for recommendations from you pros. Not sure if an XPS (if there's a screen big enough) or Alienware or one of the Pro models would be a smarter choice. You recommend AMD or Intel cpu? Maybe more importantly, which type of dGPU? NVIDIA or AMD? Looking for something that'll last a bit. Thanks! The school emailed some recommendations and also said they'll be using Revit in the future. · 15” screen size recommended · Operating System: 64‐bit Windows 11 · CPU Type: Intel or AMD processor with 2 GHZ or higher base core clock speed. o Highest single core base clock speed (GHz) is recommended · Memory: 32‐GB RAM (64‐GB preferred) · Dedicated graphics card with 6GB of video memory. o Accelerated Graphics (for complex Revit models and Graphic files): Graphics card with 8GB or more of video memory recommended. § OpenGL 4.5 or higher required. · Disk Size: 1TB Solid State Drive Please note: due to the intensive use of computer graphics in architecture and engineering, a dedicated graphics card is required. Students that have ignored this by purchasing a cheaper laptop with integrated graphics have had to purchase a new laptop.

Edit: please disregard. just bought a nebular red for £180 only downside being 1440 x 900 No Battery will rectify with upgraded display + battery.

Hi everyone. I installed a GTX 1070 in my M18x R2, but the PC isn't detecting the card. I removed it, checked it, cleaned it, and tried again, but the result is the same.

Yeah anything 4004 or higher sets 8GHz ram as long as a I don't touch the base or boost clocks. 6GHz if I touch those. I also tried again to mod the P4000 device ID to be a P5200. That failed again. There seems to be some security check beyond checksums to check the device ID. Also, I tried 10GHz again, but it just ran 8GHz. My guess is I just got error 43 before due to bad card seating or something, and not due to the card trying 10GHz. I also tried undervolting in hardware since we can't in software. The problem with this is the GPU core still has the same target voltage, so when I supply a lower voltage the on-die droop detectors engage and start clock stretching (This is a frequency loss not reported in software since the GPU is still requesting 1708). I dropped power draw by 10%, but dropped perf 1-4% depending on the test. So really the only way to undervolt without perf loss is bios modding if we could figure out how to mod the VF curve.
