Hello here are the results with the new 4 HEATPIPES GPU heatsink. Heaven Benchmark 4.0 (1080p Ultra): 258FPS average Temperature max GPU: 77.5C Temperature max hot spot: 86.5C Max core frequency: 2385MHz Max TDP: 149W FurMark 1 minute 1.37 (1080p): 306FPS average Temperature max GPU: 81.6C Temperature max hot spot: 92.8C Max core frequency: 2370MHz Max TDP: 153W TimeSpy (1080p): GPU Score: 16090 Temperature max GPU: 81C Temperature max hot spot: 92C Max core frequency: 2370MHz Max TDP: 152W No thermal throttles. The only limit is the Power Supply if we run the laptop without battery. The power LED blinks orange and white. To fix that, I need to use a 330W PSU and use a Core i7 4910MQ, since the 4940MX it's useless, uses 10W more and can't overclock well on the M6800. And optionally: use a 135W VBIOS if we can find one... Maybe @DynamiteZergcan get one from ZRT. With the 4910MQ you have turbo bins and can use 3.9GHz all cores with grub, right @JadeRover?

I know that MX-4 isn't the best but what I'm saying is that the stock heatsink handles a 115W 4070 with a regular paste. I could use PTM7950, it'll maybe save me 10C! Full copper doesn't mean everything too. The M6700 custom heatsink had same performance as the OEM heatsink with a M5000M! It usually depends on the heatpipes themselves and on the air conductivity. The custom one was using the same heatpipes as the OEM one.

I don't think this would handle the 150W VBIOSes. It can handle 125W GPUs for sure. For MXM-A RTX 4060, 4070 you need to cut the heatsink for it... Very nice designs from X-vsion... The stock modified one can handle 115W 4070 very easily and the temps are staying cool. I used MX-4 paste and not ptm7950. For example the custom RTX Heatsink I got for the M6700 throttles instantly in FurMark with a 150W Ada card. But this heatsink can handle 100W easily.

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 tried today with Maxwell VBIOSes (970M and M5000M) that have no UEFI/GOP: Boot with LVDS cable: nope Boot without LVDS cable: nope Boot without LVDS cable and DVI plugged in: nope Boot without LVDS cable and HDMI plugged in: nope Even tried to do the same with a Quadro P3000 UEFI, nope. The 485M works without LVDS and displays in DVI/HDMI... It's just a blackscreen, no backlight, no post, no OS. Nothing. Just fans stay on idle.

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...
