    @ssj92Hello, what did you find? On how to fix that TDP issue on the slave card?
  3. SuperMG3
    I'll try this once my M18X R2 gets fixed. How did you find this out?

    Hello... What is that easy? No need to overclock the screen?
  5. SuperMG3
    I'm gonna try to buy a M18X r1. After fixing and selling the R2. I can try AMD HD 8970M + RTX 4070 MXM combo (yes X-Vsion sells those, they told me it was standard MXM layout). I'll try the HD 8970M + RTX 3080 on a clevo, I'll see if that fix the TDP issue for the slave card.

    I removed the CMOS battery to get the 5 beeps but it didn't do the beeps. Same for the ram, I never got the 2 beeps. I bought a new motherboard for 188€. I'll resell the laptop. Do you guys know if Optimus works with only one GPU in slot 2? Because I don't have the first slot cooler. I didn't see any sparks when connecting the sata ribon cable. I actually had a rough time to install it tho.

    Hello. You meant from PELADN? They have 0 in stock.

    I killed two Alienwares. One was a M17X R4 because of swapping MXM cards and I used a defective FirePro card that made the video controller die (no display on iGFX and MXM). So it's understandable. But for the M18X R2? A SATA cable? Really? The fact that my Wi-Fi card and the SSD and HDD are still working, it's insane. (Because they were all next to the sata connector). Yesterday before the PC dies, I was testing some dead AMD MXM cards. 3 of them, 2 are dead and 1 artifacts but the pc didn't die when testing them. Then the next day I try the RTX 3080 MXM I got from repair, card is detected. Then I plugged the sata cable and here we gooo... (By the way the PSU was off and no battery connected into the laptop) By the way all of theses cards I mentioned (expect the firepro) were tested into a Clevo X7200. The Clevo didn't die. So Alienware is low quality?

    Fans kicks in for 5 seconds then system powers off. When I put usb in another port (instead of eSATA) it doesn't shutdown, fans kick in but no beeps or restarts. It's not a bios problem because the laptop remembers the RGB theme I applied too (the flashed bios also had the green theme)

    I don't have the 7 beeps now it's random. I now get the "shutdowns after 2-3 seconds of being powered on"
  11. SuperMG3
    I already did that because I flashed my old working BIOS with CH341A and it didn't work...

    Hello, some updates. My SSD and HDD are working fine after the incident. I still have no idea how these got spared but the motherboard didn't. I also had a smart plug plugged in. Now the smart plug can't close its circuit. I click on the power button, won't shutdown... So did the PSU destroy my computer? The smart plug works but you can't shutdown it anymore, I don't hear the CLICK noise when it switches off/on. But the PSU was working fine. I shutdown the laptop, I remove the PSU cable then I plugged the sata cable, I plug back the power... and everything went bad. I tested the PSU on a Dell M6700 and it works, maybe from now... Laptop didn't commit suicide when I unplugged the PSU.

    Hello you sure? I tried everything I did. No display, just 7 beeps or just shutdowns 2 seconds later after powering it up... There's no way a simple SATA cable that can power 3 HDD/SSD fried the northbridge or PCH...
  14. SuperMG3
    The laptop keeps shutting down 2 seconds after I power it. The LEDs light up. I "tested" the NVIDIA RTX 3080 MXM on my Clevo X7200. It was detected on the BIOS, I rebooted again, it was still detected and the laptop started to do the 2 beeps noise on the bios screen because I had 0 cooling on the GPU itself, it was a test to see if the GPU was in cause but no. I put back the Nvidia P5200 GPU and the X7200 still works... I maybe think the sata cable rekt the alienware's motherboard?

    Hello. My M18X R2 laptop was working fine. I got back my MXM card from X-Vsion. It booted and was detected on the bios as NVIDIA GFX but I forgot to connect the storage cable in order to boot to windows and test. After inserting the cable. The pc did 5 beeps (CMOS?), I restarted it and it did 7 beeps. How is that even possible? I removed the MXM GPU, still the same thing. I reset the CMOS but I still have the same issue. I removed the RAM, still 7 beeps or... It powers then shutdowns 2 seconds later... I removed the CPU, same 7 beeps. I replaced the CPU, same 7 beeps. I flashed by old bios backup to the Winbond bios chip, still the same issue. I never got the 5 beeps ever again. I tried holding the D button to get to the screen diagnostic test but it never happened. I removed the cmos battery and power it on again, it just powers on and shutdowns 2 seconds later, I heard no "5 beeps" By the way all of the LEDs are working when I start the computer... Rarely tho, the LEDs are off when doing the 7 beeps... So you're telling me a SATA cable destroyed my laptop? RESOLVED: Just buy a new motherboard at this point. If your computer doesn't do the right amount of beep when you remove the RAM (2 beeps) and CMOS (5 beeps) but instead does 7 beeps. Even does 7 beeps when you replace the CPU? The motherboard is toasted. Probably a PCH/Chipset problem. I maybe did toast the part where it controls the storage (northbridge?) From myself: It happened because of a silent short-circuit between the SATA port and SATA cable. Although the SATA cable works on my new motherboard...

    Hello. Did you manage to fix it? I remember I did get the full TDP consumptions. Let me explain how. The master GPU had no drivers, no default Nvidia drivers, just Microsoft basic. It allowed my slave card to run at a max of 127W. I need drivers on my master GPU so I can run at 1080p 😕 Let me know what do you think about my experiment.

    Hello. Let's go in private message
  18. SuperMG3
    Hello. Been 10 days chatting with them and now they tell me it's sold out 😕 If someone here has a P570WM, I can give you 1100 USD for it (barebones). So if you need some money or want to feed your family, come and send me an offer.

    Hello. It's on Alibaba but the sales team told me quickly that they have 0 MXM cards available.
  20. SuperMG3
    I think I need an Eurocom BIOS to get the module recognised. On eBay I bought that Crucial DDR3L 1600MHz 2Rx8 module for 25€. Originally, they cost between 50-80€... For proof, it says on their Alibaba page that they have more than 20 years of experience and all of their MXM cards are out of stock uh
  21. SuperMG3
    I found one for 25€ lol. I got one on hand. It's detected on HWINFO but the bios won't take it. (Clevo X7200)
  22. SuperMG3
    Peladn is here since 20 years ago too
  23. SuperMG3
    Isn't ZRT also a noname
  24. SuperMG3
    It's on Alibaba actually. They sell RTX 4060, 4070 all 60W

    The sales team are sleeping. One answer every 12 hours insane. How do people get jobs but can't do them properly. I don't even think there's a lot of people who are mailing them, I'm probably the only one right now for sure. I mean I answer them as soon as I get their mail but they ghost me for 12 hours until I get an answer. It's just a generic looking answer. I told them 4 times to send me pictures and they don't even do that lmao
