Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
panda_zzz replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
This is a screenshot from a desktop, I can do the same on a laptop if you need it. The bios modification sounds interesting) -

No, that's not it - the device is just not visible in Device Manager. It would be nice if they could add support for 4g decoding. Well, in any case, I tried flashing other bios from 4060m - and the first one seems to have checked for this feature. my test computer (and I tested it initially on a PC through an adapter) did not want to boot and judging by the postcodes hung on pcie device detection. here is a screenshot of the current bios -

I'm sure it will work. the native bios does not require 4g decoding. the main problem is with heatsink, but it can be solved. -

lvds via optimus. I haven't bought myself a cable and matrix yet to try the edp connection -

I personally have not decided to try it yet) but another forum member is trying it - the card is visible in the bios, but not in the system. -

as far as I know on this forum only 4050m has been tried. yes it is a card from X-VSION. originally I took it for m4800 but it is too hot for it and I decided to try it in m17x r4. it needs serious heatsink modification for it because it overheats easily under load. -

Hi, no, not yet, unfortunately. How about you? -
M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
My experience with 4060 from x-vsion - I tried to run with a Chinese adapter to pci-e x1 and slightly modified cooling from m4800. unfortunately it did not work as it should and gpu-z screenshot is the best I have achieved so far. having tried to flash this card with another vbios the computer with it does not want to boot anymore, so I will try to restore the native vbios. -
I wish you luck and look forward to the good news.

Yes you are right, the problem is in the EC controller firmware of the laptop. You need to either change the address value of the temperature sensor or disable this check completely. As an example, I can provide a video where a similar operation was done with another laptop clevo/hasee, unfortunately it is in Russian, but I think with subtitles will be clear. The fragment you need is from 7 to 11 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ9fadWsx7E

M4800 Owner's Thread
panda_zzz replied to unnoticed's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
You beat me to it, mine is still on its way to me, hopefully I'll get it by the new year) If the card is visible in the bios and doesn't interfere with the booting of the computer, then the rest is a matter of bios choice, I think -
The chipset chip is under this metal part. It can overheat by itself due to drying of thermal pads on it, or due to overheating of the processor cooling system, because it is connected to it
-
then try it, it probably will work.

You may have a problem with the memory chips to the left of the GPU. You may also need to redo the mounts. In terms of pure heat output, it should be able to handle it

Trying to decide on what upgrades: M18x R2 (2012)
panda_zzz replied to jonv8944s's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
I'm not OP, but for me at the moment I chose 3940+rtx3000 in my m17x r4. Later I will most likely change the video card to something from the Ampere generation -

here's a comparison of net performance depending on which 1070 you have https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GTX-1070-mobile-vs-Quadro-RTX-3000-mobile https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GTX-1070-Max-Q-vs-Quadro-RTX-3000-mobile -
Can I get an MXM card newer than GTX1070? if so where?
panda_zzz replied to cdoublejj's topic in Components & Upgrades
It's just that there are quadro rtx a2000 - a4500 series cards for example, they belong to the next generation on Ampere chips If we are talking about the Turing generation, rtx3000 is the middle level, rtx5000 is the top level. there are still options to put t1000-t2000 video cards from hp computers, they can be found cheaper, but they don't support tracing and have less video memory. I would not recommend to pay attention to clevo cards - they are not compatible. -
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 -

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.

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
