    I already told this won't work. The BIOS is so wacky and strange, it'll accept max GTX 680M or HD 7970M in the master slot. Clevo made the worse bios ever for X7200, D900F and P170HM... Anything new won't work. I already tried on the X7200. For some reasons the Maxwell cards in master slot work for Clevo M980 and X8100.

    ExpressSlot uses less bandwidth than the MXM slot. I do not recommend any eGPU configuration as you need an external power and your desktop GPU will get severely bottlenecked by the bandwidth. mPCIe is faster than ExpressSlot by not a lot too. MXM slot = 2.0 x16 SLi in use = 2.0 x8 Just get a Clevo X8100 instead.

    Anything newer that's plugged in the master MXM slot of the LVDS laptop won't work. GTX 770M, 780M, K3100M, K5100M, 880M aren't working too! Yes you can use eGPU from the ExpressSlot but the speed is at PCIE 2.0 x2, it's worse than the slave MXM slot which runs at x8. For some reasons, the X8100 accepts GTX 980M, M5000M, 780M, etc...

    No you can't do anything. I asked for modders to find the solution for that for the X7200 but no one answers, it's a lost cause. I was able to do HD 7970M (green PCB, no audio) + RTX 3000 and it worked. I was losing a bit of performance maybe because my CPU wasn't Overclocked.

    You can't D900F and X7200 have issues with their bios. There's no EC problem and no whitelist. Just a weird Phoenix SecureCore BIOS... I gave up and I'm selling the X7200. The best way is to do AMD HD 7970M 1.2 blue PCB in master + GTX 980M in slave. Even the Alienware M17X R3/R4 can use Nvidia Quadro T1000, Pascal P4000/P5000 in the master slot with an eDP screen.

    He updated the design again, he did every improvements. It costs 135USD to purchase. The heatsink made the GPU lost like more than 20C degrees by going from 2 to 3 heatpipes with a 55W TDP GPU and it's easily compatible with 120W with adapted adjustments. 3 heatpipes is what a 110-120W GPU uses normally. (Can depend on the core dimensions as well)

    If the RTX Turing works then the Ada will work too. That's usually the testing I do in eDP, to know directly if the RTX Ampère and Ada will work or not. You can try it yourself. I don't want to disassemble existing systems. I have the standard 3 heatpipes heatsink so it's going to be very hard and I need to sell this red nebula 120Hz RTX laptop too, sorry.
  8. SuperMG
    Needs to add the "spiky" dissipation plate on top of the heatsink and it'll be perfect. I don't see any adjustments with the RTX inductors, maybe he didn't do that yet.
  9. SuperMG
    No. I did bought an RTX 4070 but it's for the M4800. I didn't get the shipping number yet. Well I busted the myth of RTX cards in 120Hz in the Alienware. Works like on the M6700 120Hz. I'm trying to mod the heatsink because one of the inductors doesn't fit correctly yet... Some people said it won't work because the mux switch is too old for the RTX... I sold the 3080 (DP on DP_D) as I needed money for the 4090.

    But you tested the RTX 5000 in SG with Optimus!! That's the difference! I actually sold every cables I think. Maybe try it in the AW17 R1? Dell precision? Optimus and pure PEG is super different. I saw on some threads that the RTX cards won't work in the 120Hz...
  11. SuperMG
    Yup, no error code 43, I installed Windows 11 during the testing and the drivers are installed. RTX Turing works in eDP 120Hz on the M17X R4 like on the M6700 120Hz. I didn't do any benchmarks yet. But as I said, RTX 5000 and T1000 will 1000% work with this laptop.

    Hello, Cicichen made a 3 heatpipes M4800 heatsink for the newer RTX cards... How is that possible? By cutting the fan's plastic casing. This would definitely handle 120W easily.
  13. SuperMG
    Hello, as far as I know, no one tested this mod on the M17x R4. The people who bought the cables were just Clevo and Dell users. The Ampère and Ada cards could work in this laptop now since the RTX 3000 displays and boots to the bios. I didn't do any testing on the OS side, I need to modify the heatsink now. You need to disassemble the whole laptop, I had to disassemble the whole laptop just to cut the nub... If you don't get a backlight on the screen then you didn't do it properly. Did you follow the PDF instructions I sent in the private message? The instructions shows how to put the 278, 280 cable. Yes the first RTX 3000 is cooked. It's because it already had one of the capacitors that was already smoked so now the card has 2 dead capacitors.

    Lol, the Alienware M17X R4 works with the HP Turing RTX 3000. Displays in the screen and BIOS states NVIDIA GFX. No 8 beeps. Instant startup. I didn't test on Windows yet because of the heatsink. Which means that the T1000, RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 will work in this laptop in eDP 120Hz. For the non HP cards, just use the backlight mod cable. It's the same logic as the Dell Precision M6700 and M6800. If the RTX Turing works then the rest of the RTX will work (without 4G decode) so it means Ampère and Ada cards will work with the backlight mod cable. Someone needs to try that as I don't have any newer MXM cards to test. Ps: for the M5000M that's starting/shutdown looping, it's maybe because of the vbios being legacy only as we disabled the legacy OPROM. Since the K3000M does the same thing as the M5000M.
  15. SuperMG
    The v2 isn't done and there's maybe a problem in the current production factory. And it'll be expensive for sale too. So you're good now. M5000M just the laptop starts then shutdowns and it does a loop. Sliderfra told me that the Maxwell aren't working in the M17X R4 eDP in UEFI, is that true? Edit: I tried one of the RTX 3000 I have, it did a big spark in one of the capacitor (bottom right). But the laptop still works... So I lost a big ton of money on that one 😕
