    I just looked at your BIOS and there is the required 80 watts, the BIOS is written from MSI, what you write in GPU-Z is HP, the same will happen with any card and any BIOS, the same thing is on my Alienware and Clevo, DELL and CLEVO/KAPOK respectively. you can try flashing MSI vbios from Unverified uploads on Techpowerup, maybe yours is somehow broken. but most likely you have a short somewhere, check the contact of the video card, motherboard and cooling - maybe somewhere there is something too close to some contact pad, etc. try pressing on the top of the laptop near the video card or on the bottom - maybe it will turn off, if not - have you monitored your temperature?

    the person above meant that maybe you even have a different BIOS flashed on your MSI card, not MSI and maybe not even some suitable HP. you should try flashing the MSI BIOS, maybe on his advice. I still haven't looked at your file, sorry, I almost forgot.)

    let me take a quick look, I had to play with overclocking different cards.) you can just drop the file here

    here is the answer to your question.
  5. Maks0098
    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.

    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?
  8. Maks0098
    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.
  11. Maks0098
    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).
  12. Maks0098
    This is not the first time I have flashed BIOS and EC chips, so I recognize them simply by their location on the board.)
  13. Maks0098
    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
  14. Maks0098
    The EC chip has the marking 25q80dvsig I read it, saved what was on it and wrote a new firmware
  15. Maks0098
    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
  16. Maks0098
    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
  17. Maks0098
    I flashed it using a programmer. Or what do you mean?
  18. Maks0098
    You need to enable UEFI for Windows 8 and higher. Legacy Windows 10 does not support. change it to UEFI and you don’t have to turn off CSM for now if everything starts up ok for you. Because on my second M18x R2 with M6100 it does not detect a video card without CSM, but an M3000M with CSM.

    Regarding the speed of mSATA and SATA - Sata is indeed faster, since it uses SATA 3 speed, when mSATA uses SATA 2 speed. 600 and 300 MB/s, respectively. this applies to our Alienware M17x/M18x and 17/18. Other laptops - I don’t know how, maybe they use full SATA 3 speed.
  20. Maks0098
    I don't think it's worth it. It's better to use the two separately. The only option where this may be appropriate is if you need to load one game or file larger than one SSD, and you have a second one. Then you can do Raid 0 and you will have enough memory. In terms of speed, it won’t affect games, etc., it will affect if you constantly transfer between different SSDs or etc., where the speed of the second storage will be above 500 MB/s. But raid is unnecessary, more wear and tear occurs on both SSDs. And there is a greater chance that one of them will break. And it will be impossible to restore the data later.

    and the BIOS that I flashed was from Dsanke. Maybe I flashed the wrong BIOS, because I have an i7-8086K and GTX 1080? Maybe I should try to buy a new i5-7400 or something similar to check if the processor might be the issue? and does this laptop support i3-7100, i3-6100? so that I don't spend money on i5 which is more expensive and I won't use it later
  22. Maks0098
    I reflashed it using ch341a with a clip, just in case
  23. Maks0098
    When the charger is turned on, the indicators light up yellow. When the power button is pressed, the power indicator flashes green twice and that's it. I tried to reflash the main BIOS chip, I took out the CMOS battery, after that the laptop when I pressed the power button - the keyboard backlight started to light up, the fans started in turn, and then the backlight turned off and the fans rotated at 100% and the power indicator blinked orange. I also tried to reflash the EC, nothing helps. I also changed the video card to a known working one. First after power failure and first start - the above happens, and subsequent starts only the green power indicator blinks twice and that's it. Could the problem be in the video card power cable? Or is the problem somewhere in the motherboard or matrix?
  24. Maks0098
    Have you ever noticed your keyboard heating up?
  25. Maks0098
    @SWarnock,you can flash your video card with the BIOS from the iMac, I flashed my P4000 so that it was more powerful. I can send you the file. for your card, the frequencies will already be 1657 MHz and the power limit will be increased from 75 watts to 100 watts (this can be changed using Mobile Pascal TDP bios tweaker). So you will get a more powerful card without extra charge, I have been using mine for a long time, so it seems safe and other users also use it without problems. the power will be at the level of the GTX 1060 mobile.
