M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
do you have 3-4 generation intel memory modules working? can you make screenshots showing their work? as far as I know most of the experiments with such memory modules crashed due to poor bios support. and memory channel issues are related to the interposer itself in the 4890hq - it's a lottery -
Precision M6800 questions and upgrades
panda_zzz replied to Jers6410's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Interesting video comparing 4980hq and 4810mq paired with the p5200 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPWzfSOSvJ0 -
M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
I have just the two on the green board, and they didn't work in either the m4800 or the lenovo t440p, so I'm pretty sad. but if you say you've seen a working 4x channel maybe I'll still play that lottery. -
M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
They take them in China, but it's a lottery - I personally got 2 non-working processors, and I don't want to try any more. And I don't like the fact that only 2 memory channels work instead of 4. Decide for yourself if you need it. -
ivy bridge is as high as an m17x r4 will go right?
panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
No it can't. if you want Intel i7 Core 4900 you need m17x r5 (17 R1) Ranger -
Believe me you will not want to use several ssd disks on this machine. yes you can almost double the speed of access to files getting a speed of about 900-1000 mb/s using a raid of two sata ssd, but then well think about cooling the chip pch - it will be very noticeably warm, and its heatsink is connected to the CPU cooling that additionally adds temperature.

Can I get an MXM card newer than GTX1070? if so where?
panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Components & Upgrades
Not sure if RTX3500 with Ada Lovelace chip will work in m17x r4. RTX5000 with Turing chip will almost certainly work. but note that both cards have a different location of holes for the cooling system radiator. as an option you can buy a rtx3000-rtx5000 card from hp zbook 17 g6 laptop - they are cheaper and not as rare as industrial rtx5000 although they also require some modification of the cooling system -

Can I get an MXM card newer than GTX1070? if so where?
panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Components & Upgrades
The presence of this feature in the system bios is verified by vbios of the video card itself. And if this function is not found, then the video card does not start and does not let the whole system start. Perhaps it can be bypassed by selecting a third-party vbios or getting pny/aethina/etc tech support to provide vbios without this check. -

Aptio Ami bios for 2013 Alienware 14 (Intel HM87) has support for 4g decoding, earlier platforms are made on Insyde bios and there is no this feature. At least the latest versions of m17x r4/r5 and m18x r2/viking don't have this feature - I searched in the bios dumps -

panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Components & Upgrades
Unfortunately not any. If 4g decoding was not originally supported in the bios, it cannot be added, at least at the moment. Rebar will not work if there is no 4g decoding function in the bios, although you can add it with a third-party UEFI driver. -

panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Components & Upgrades
Right now the rtx3000-rtx5000 on the Turing architecture, analogous to the mobile 2060-2080, is guaranteed to work. Newer quadro rtx cards require certain features that are not in the bios of older machines such as m17x r4 | r5 or m18x r2. Perhaps in the future there will be video bios available for them to work properly. The situation with Chinese cards of three thousand and four thousand series is also still unclear, so at the moment it's a lottery. Cards from Intel require the same features as the new quadro rtx cards and probably won't work either, but it's not known for sure, no one has tried it yet -
Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
panda_zzz replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
So for now the laptop can't see the card at all? Even in optimus mode? -
M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
I don't have the t1000 output directly to the laptop screen despite the edp connection. only when connecting an external display is there an image. So I'm using Optimus mode, not sure if it will work with 4050. I want to order this card too😅 -
Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!

does the rtx3000 card work over edp with the display at m17x r4? -
Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!

A-type cards fit into B-type card slots without any problems. The reverse situation is practically impossible (except in very rare cases) -
M17x R3 and PG106 card half way, need help.
panda_zzz replied to Lex_Amorph's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
Unfortunately, I can't say anything for sure here. I've encountered mining versions of the Turing line and they were supposed to have tensor cores to support rtx technology, but in fact they were not there or they were disabled at a very low level, and it was impossible to enable them with drivers. Maybe you have a similar picture -

panda_zzz replied to Lex_Amorph's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
It is quite possible that for your particular graphics chip there are problems with dx12 - all the same on the mining versions of cards go discarded video chips with some reduction of computational blocks. Plus in the generation of Pascal is not full realization of modern requirements of the standard dx12, perhaps Diablo4 like Alan Wake 2 wants full realization. Plus the gp106 graphics chip itself in your graphics card is weaker than in a similar 1060m: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-gp106.g797 Well and it is possible that the drivers are not working correctly in some way, and I would advise you to use the 1060m as a template for NVCleanstall, not its stationary version. -
I think if you want minimal modifications and working standard fan control, the best choice is ati|amd card - as already said above 8970M from clevo.

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
panda_zzz replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Greetings. I'm following your project, although at one time I chose dell m4800 and old alienware as platforms for experimentation). Could you please provide a link regarding possible support for 4G Decoding and ReBar in Coreboot? Because it is a prerequisite to upgrade mxm gpu to Ampere generation.- 134 replies

Then it's definitely time to replace it.
-
Depends on what kind of processor you have, but it may not be enough
-
As I recall you can upgrade your gpu to an AMD 8970M card or if you want nvidia the Kepler generation is 660m-680m

Alienware 17 R1(Haswell) - Tesla M6 upgrade issue
panda_zzz replied to Maks0098's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
Well, if you managed to flash it with nvflash then no problem - take for warranty version of the program with bypass protection against flashing and flash it on a laptop that sees the video card. as far as I know this is the latest vbios for it: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/225011/225011 earlier versions are not desirable -
Alienware 17 R1(Haswell) - Tesla M6 upgrade issue
panda_zzz replied to Maks0098's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
Tesla M6 should be detected in the bios without problems, at least in my m17x r4 it was fine. However, it can only work in optimus mode because the native bios has no video outputs. As for re-flashing vbios for this card - it doesn't work, even with the chip itself unsoldered. at least I read about it once, but unfortunately I couldn't find the link quickly.
