here is the answer to your question.

It would be better to write in a specific forum thread about Alienware 17 and m17x. There was an answer to your question in that thread. As far as I know, Maxwell with GM1xx chips fits, but the fans themselves do not start, they need to be controlled via hwinfo. 8970M also fits with the BIOS that Raidriar dropped in the thread about AW17, but the 8970M from Dell does not have automatic fan control either, and the Clevo card works quite well.

Hello again, I came with another problem. I found a board from P775DM3-G for good money, installed everything and everything works, except for the keyboard and touchpad (then I will re-solder the connectors or cut out a piece of the top case for the keyboard cable, for now I use an external keyboard and mouse), the battery connector was re-soldered right away. The problem is that my laptop freezes after an hour of gaming, for example, if you turn it off and immediately turn it on - the fans spin at normal speed and the screen is black, if you let it lie off for a bit - it turns on, but then it starts to freeze again but with a much shorter period and this interval will constantly decrease if you do not let it cool down. Could it be that the PCH(there was no radiator or even aluminum tape on the chipset) is getting very hot and giving such an effect or what? maybe the video card is starting to die (I have 2 video cards at the moment and both behave like this, one is flashed with the factory one for P775DM3-G, the other one is updated for P870KM some GOP updated 0x3000A for dsanke custom bios) I flashed the stock BIOS and the regular one from dsanke for P7**DM3 and with ME disabled and conversion from P7**TM. maybe it's also a matter of the EC firmware? I couldn't find its file and I would be grateful if you send it to me. I reset the BIOS settings to default, but that didn't help either.

Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
Maks0098 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
I can flash it myself and then if anything with the help of a programmer back. but there you will need an RTX video card for proper testing of this, right? -
Quadro P3000 & P4000 unlocked/OC vbios

hey, how did you do it?!) please, can you make some instructions? and did you flash it from stock to unlocked from IMac? -

This is the result with that BIOS for P3000 from Macrumors. with a standard BIOS, your result will be ~2900 graphical score in Time Spy. That is, the increase will be from 2900 to 3600, approximately. -

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/48230233 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/48553671 but I flashed My P4000 not with the same bios as with Macrumors, but with a slightly different one, but also for iMac. I found it on our forum, with an increased frequency from the already high 1657 (on Macrumors this) to 1772 MHz yet. -

There are overclocked bios for the P3000 from iMac from the Macrumors website. Everything worked flawlessly for me on the Alienware M18x R2. They are flashed only with a programmer, I tried to flash not only with regular NVFlash but also with different modified versions - nothing works, only the programmer (but do not forget that the Pascal chip is 1.8 volt). -
This is not the first time I have flashed BIOS and EC chips, so I recognize them simply by their location on the board.)
-
on the right you can see the file that I read from that chip. And on the left is the EC firmware, which I found specifically for P7**TM version 1.07.16 the files are the same, one might say (I didn’t review them completely, because I still understood that the one I took could have been broken) and the same size
-
The EC chip has the marking 25q80dvsig I read it, saved what was on it and wrote a new firmware
-
I can't find a photo to show. But I still have the marking: mx25l6473f I'll be taking the laptop apart again later - I can take a photo
-
it's just that I've seen other people have this problem when they had the wrong BIOS. but maybe that's not the issue. for now I want to be sure that I have the right BIOS and EC flashed, and then I'll look for another reason. Which BIOS should I flash from this site and should I flash the EC again with some other firmware? and the battery charges and then the indicator lights up green, by the way
-
I flashed it using a programmer. Or what do you mean?
