I have 970M 6GB from Clevo and M5000M 8GB from Dell. M5000M: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/188273/188273 For Alienware... Why does the M15X work with Maxwell cards? In dGPU?

I get 56W max in throttleStop benchmark so I don't know , no bsod

No, running into 45W TDP limit in CPU-Z. 61W is good for me. Using 240W PSU. Getting "EDP CURRENT" error in throttleStop.

Can't get 4GHz on all cores so no. I'll test the new heatsink soon

My RTX 3000 HP works on Alienware 17 R1 and no TDP bugs! 82FPS in FurMark, 148FPS in Heaven benchmark. I know that the PNY, AETINA RTX 3000 have the TDP bug for this laptop.

I wasn't able to get the external HDMI/DP on the M18X R2/R3 to work with dGPU. I can with the Alienware M17X R4/R5 and Dell Precision M6700/M6800 to make the HDMI/DP to work with dGPU. For the cooling, custom heatsinks exist so the better argument doesn't apply now... I had many issues with Alienware laptops (dirty, replacing a lot of motherboards, bad charging ICs, bad speakers) but I had 0 issues with Precisions at the moment, smooth, better IO, better MXM support. The TDP bug affects Haswell, even on MSI GT laptops. For HP I have no info. The TDP bug only happens on XVSION, ZRT, AETINA, PNY cards but not for the HP RTX ones...

Ollie's temperature are good. I already recommended him that. Alienware does 8 beeps maybe it's the mux switches from the eDP line... Just get a red covet M6700 or M6800 they dust off these Alienware... Yes I do not have any TDP bug (no 40-55W fluctuating) with the 150W 4080 besides the thermal throttle in FurMark but that's easy to fix with a new 4 heatpipes GPU heatsink.

This is the better version if you're planning to use 150W cards (with PTM7950) + better designed CPU heatsink like the Alienware 17 R1 Ranger design, so better overclocking for the CPU right? Mine will arrive this week, maybe on Friday? It means I'll have a spare "130W" 3 heatpipes that has one badly curved heatpipe. If someone wants it, I can list it for 45€ and then you can modify the heatpipes if you want. @DynamiteZergI sell them on ebay. This is version 1. It allows backlight enable and makes the internal display work again. The newer RTX cards don't have the backlight pins connected from the core.

The seller needs to use GPU-Z and extract from there. He can do it for the 4080 too. It'll generate a download link from techpowerup Because ZRT and other people ignored me for 5 months. I've been trying to get their VBIOSes for 5 months... I just hope the images you got are indeed the right GPU and not the x-vsion one. Do you have the VBIOS version number or a GPU-Z screenshot? For myself I need the 4080 150W VBIOS and 4090 150W VBIOS. But if the seller could dump 135W Max-Q versions why not, everyone will be happy.

IT'S ZRT OMG. Please GET THE VBIOSES!! I want to flash on 4080 and 4090 so we can avoid the EDID override method!! Same design as ZRT 100%, not x-vsion, the BIOS chip is in a different place

Hello... I already made the tests. Precision M6800 eDP with RTX 4080, 4070 works so 4090 will work too but you need the backlight mod cable that I'm selling. You also need to set the BIOS to UEFI and Legacy OPROM to disabled. You also need a custom powerful 4 heatpipes heatsink from Cicichen. I REALLY HOPE, YOU BOUGHT THE ZRT CARD! Please confirm!!! We need the VBIOS of the ZRT card! Thank you. X-vsion Vbios is bad and needs EDID override in the OS. Please man ask the seller if he has RTX 4080 135W/150W and 4090 135W/150W VBIOSes please... They have good eDP support for the Windows drivers. Only the 4060, 4070 from X-VSION have good eDP support the 4080/4090 nope

Hello... I found something in the ACPI Editor, ACPI module. I see lots of MXM3 mentions, they look like methods but to what? No mention of any Kepler 600M GPUIDs, just Fermi ones... Then how the Kepler 600M work on this laptop??? But 700M doesn't work. Here's the Acpi dump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ffPxcysB8wjxv-PTIBFJWwVbrp7ZtOqg/view?usp=drivesdk WM0 = MXM slot 1? WM1 = MXM slot 2? Found method Device(MXM3) which has most Nvidia 200M to 500M GPUIds and some other conditions as well. No 600M IDs. EDIT: I tried to edit the ACPI by REPLACING the GPUIDs and ADDING FORCED RETURNS to some METHODS but THE PHOENIX SECURECORE ASL TOOL DOESN'T WORK!!! "Unable to write Temp files"... Edit 2: ACPI only WORKS after the laptop posts, so let's not check that yet. I asked help on winraid and bios-mods. The mods see the posts because they do some egocentric "edits" in my post but they don't send any help, so avoid these places if you seek for help. No one will help me anyway, sad ending for today...

No. We tried the HP RTX 3000 with 120Hz 3D in UEFI and legacy, not work. Tested in 2 different Alienware laptops. Maybe we did something wrong? I don't know. Only the M6700 and M6800 can accept HP RTX 3000/5000 with LEGACY BIOS and UEFI BIOS. Newer Ampère and Ada cards need UEFI and Legacy OPROM disabled to work and display in the Internal screen. Got +240FPS in heaven benchmark with the M6800 eDP, RTX 4080 MXM and a bad heatsink.

Hello. X-VSION only sells 80W variants. I bought the 130W one and got the 80W one instead so that's janky and the performance was worse than an RTX 3000... Just get an RTX 3070 MXM, it's better than the A3000 80W or... Wait till you have money to get the 3080 115W.

Hello some news. I don't know but I think there's no GPUID whitelists, because I couldn't find IDs for any Kepler 1 GPUs. I could only find IDs for 200M, 400M and 500M Fermi GPUs and the dumped file wasn't a whitelist either. Or maybe the whitelist is hidden and I can't find? So I think the only way, it's to remove the GPU checks during the POST. Because maybe the BIOS throws some "errors" for the GPU so that's why the laptop doesn't post. I have no idea on how to to this sadly... As mentioned before, the Clevo X8100 (2010) and the Clevo M980NU (2009) are both using the same Phoenix SecureCore bioses from the same era! But these two laptops support up to a GTX 980M, so anything related to Maxwell and Kepler 2 will work flawlessly... So they just ignore the GPU checks and boot. Just like the Clevo P775 for example. Edit: I made the VGA errors set to IGNORE but.... The laptop doesn't boot with the Maxwell card in the master slot... Edit 2: set to ignore during post: VGA ERRORS POST CHECKSUM ERRORS CMOS ERRORS OTHER ERRORS It doesn't work!! GTX 485M, K3000M work and display but not the 970M and M5000M. Yes my Maxwell cards work without the UEFI image.
