    needed to remove 2 memory modules because 4980hq does not work with more than 2 memory modules due to the design of the adapter (there are rumors that someone saw that there are exceptions, but I have not seen any real evidence) about 4940 I do not know - I personally enough 4910 - they have no differences except for slightly higher frequencies.

    If we are talking about 4980hq from aliexpress you should be prepared that it is a lottery. I personally received one non-working, one partially working with one memory channel.

    I would not consider alienware laptops on the haswell platform (ranger & viking) because there are possible power limitations of video cards. so I would choose between m18x r2 (better possible CPU cooling, possible nvme in the second mxm slot, but 8 pcie lines for video card) and m17x r4 (slightly worse CPU cooling, but slightly more compact and mxm slot for 16 pcie lines).

    I think 160 watts is too much

    through optimus should work

    so i'm running the latest 460 driver available for windows 7 i think or something like that. but windows 10 is having problems. Both drivers have been modified by NVCleanstall.

    then there's no point in talking about 48 gigabytes it's a CPU+chipset problem. and actually 32 gigabytes is still enough
  8. panda_zzz
    If you have 6 slots soldered into your laptop, it could be 48, but I think you said 3.
  9. panda_zzz
    even taking into account that your laptop has a desktop chipset it doesn't change much - the same 8 gigabytes per channel, in case of three-channel mode - 24 gigabytes maximum. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/47932/intel-core-i7980x-processor-extreme-edition-12m-cache-3-33-ghz-6-40-gts-intel-qpi/specifications.html if you want you can experiment, but as for me it's a waste of money and bios will not be able to cope with 16 gigabyte modules, just like later bios for 3rd and 4th generation.

    The general case since the 1st generation of Intel mobile i-processors is 8 gigabytes per one slot for a memory module. the differences are in the maximum frequencies of this memory. if the slots are soldered 4, then yes maximum 32 gigabytes. but there are quite a lot of pitfalls from manufacturers, so I described only ideal conditions.

    the laptop won't boot up properly. 16 gigabyte ddr3 so-dimm modules do not work on 3-5 generation intel processors
  12. panda_zzz
    Maybe, although it may be a problem with the graphics card itself. or the combination of the laptop architecture and the graphics card driver. for example on my m15x with gtx970m and windows 10 nvidia drivers newer than 390 I think did not want to work.
  13. panda_zzz
    what laptop do you have this on? because i have optimus working quite well on relatively fresh drivers on m17x r4 and m4800 (something around 550 version i think).
  14. panda_zzz
    work the same way, but the limit is different, so it is likely that they can draw different numbers of frames.
  15. panda_zzz
    I think the problem here is not the display but the fact that intel optimus is used - there are limits to iGPU. If intel optimus was more powerful, you might have more frames. I've seen this on an intel 4600 vs iris 5200 comparison

    This is a bad idea in my mind, because under the influence of temperature and being bent it will quickly fail.
  17. panda_zzz
    Hi. Yes the processor can indeed be upgraded - a reasonable maximum is 4910mq. Putting 4940MX and 4930MX processors is not reasonable, although it is possible with reservations. As for the video card - probably a relatively cheap and affordable option is the nvidia m2200. Of course, you can search for a t1000, but it will cost you a lot more. As for the screen to give advice you need to identify what model you have installed and what type of connection edp or lvds

    I used a cheap pcie x1 adapter to initially test the card on the desktop As for the 4000 series, the main problem is to find a bios that will allow to start without 4g decoding support. the original bios from x-vsion allowed it. after trying a couple of them from techpowerup I found out that in most cases it is not. now I am trying to find a working version for 45 watts.
  19. panda_zzz
    it works, but I don't like that it has 8 pcie lines and also the m17x r4 cooling is not well suited for this card because of the high resistor row on the right side of the card
  20. panda_zzz
    No I haven't tried the 4090 card, I think it's too overkill for the m18x r2 | m17x r4. I originally bought the 4060 for the m4800, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work properly

    The fastest ddr3 modules for laptops are 2133, but it is problematic to buy them only sometimes they are on ebay. if you are not ready to hunt and overpay, 1866 modules are not particularly worse. The difference between 3920xm and 3940xm is very minor - slightly higher frequency of the processor part and integrated graphics. in terms of power consumption and heat dissipation they are completely the same. https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/49/Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_Extreme_Edition_i7-3920XM_vs_Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_Extreme_Edition_i7-3940XM.html

    I don't agree with you in terms of liquid metal soaking into copper does nothing wrong - it breaks the homogeneous structure, which over time affects heat transfer. besides, to me it's unnecessarily dangerous in a laptop. There's a simpler option that doesn't carry such risks - ptm7950 - cheap and effective. Here is an old thread on fan upgrading for m15x https://www.nbrchive.net/xfa/alienware-m15x.1078/M15x internal fan mods/
  23. panda_zzz
    Greetings. The standard cooling system can handle 940xm without overclocking and even with slight overclocking. If you want to achieve more, you will have to replace the standard fan to increase heat dissipation. The native cooling of the video card can handle 970m, for 980m you need to either limit its frequencies to the level of m5000m or change the fan too. If you want to use liquid metal, I recommend nickel plating the copper sections of the heatsink or the liquid metal will destroy those parts of the cooling quite quickly.

    You're so lucky, I really wanted to buy this card but it didn't pop up on ebay or aliexpress. How much did it cost you?
  25. panda_zzz
    Open the program gpu-z, go to the advanced tab and select nvidia bios there will be specified power limit for this video card. in general it is interesting that you post screenshots and general information gpu-z about this card
