Alienware M18X R2 1 beep = problem with the BIOS right?
SuperMG3 replied to SuperMG3's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Hello. I might as well try to put an RTX 3080 16GB MXM card on it. I'm waiting for the seller's response about my order. I hope they don't cancel... -
They refunded both RTX 3080 and RTX A3000 (half refunded the RTX A3000, maybe they'll send a new one?? I don't think so)
-
Not even a call from the delivery company? Also does your X-VSION RTX 3080 work on M18X R2? I read the topic of yours but I see no results. RTX A3000 60W works on M18X R2 and so in AW 18 R1. I need the 130W variant too

Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
SuperMG3 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
I think there's something about UEFI for the BIOS. Most Ampere VBIOS and all Ada won't work on Alienware M17X R4 and M18X R2. For example, X-VSION Ampere work but not Aetina ones. -
Hello. The shipping was fast for the return. It says delivered to their place but the seller still haven't texted me yet. I think I'll probably get both cards in January:(
-
Okay remember I was about to buy an RTX 3080 MXM. It's been ONE week and I still haven't got a single tracking number for it... Are they gonna scam me on this one too? Let's see. To be honest they only help when you are filling a dispute thru PayPal. Only pay with PayPal when they only accept bank as an online payment.

Hello. It has a different PCIE ID but the same GA104 die. I tried to flash a 130W VBIOS from techpowerup but it didn't work. GPU not being detected so I had to revert back to the original working 60W VBIOS.
-
Hello. I'm gonna return the RTX A3000 12GB MXM 60W because the seller sent me a wrong one. Once the seller will receive he 60W one, the seller will send me the 130W variant.

If anyone wants this laptop. I'm selling it still! My price is 399€ without shipping fees. I7 3630QM, 12GB RAM, GTX 680M, Refurbished keyboard, refurbished motherboard, 1080p screen with 0 dead pixels, 128GB mSATA with OS
-
Oh that shield. I transferred it to the new motherboard. My CPU isn't overheating. The thermal pad for the chipset is not dry but had some dust around it.
-
Hello. What does the PCH have in common with Switchable Graphics display? Is the PCH the chipset that's near the CPU socket?
-
Hello! Got the motherboard and it works very well! RGB finally works, status LED too The Quadro K3100M doesn't work anymore:( the die gets hot but it's not detected... I took my GTX 680M from the M18X R2 and put it in there. (GTX 680M SLI sucks anyways, even one GTX 680M is more efficient!) In conclusion, if you have the same issue as me, you have to swap your motherboard.
-
Hello. It worked for the original 100W for the RTX A3000 (same die and Vram placements), so why not on this custom heatsink that's made to support and cool well the GTX 1070 MXM (120W-125W)
-
This heatsink has a bigger coverage than the original 100W heatsink, so no problem on that. Also I just need to trim the heatsink fins to make it fit. No need to redo the mounts.
-
Well it can cool 2/3 of the VRAM. I can just put some thermal pad on the 1/3 that aren't covered with a heatsink. I did make my RTX A3000 MXM fit for the 100W heatsink (left VRAM wasn't present on this 12GB model)
-
Hey people. I ordered the RTX 3080 "130W TDP" from X-VSION again. Is this cooler good for 130W? It's designed for GTX 1070 MXM I'll use it on the M18X R2 instead
-
So the chipset? Well I don't have time to do some BGA works (no skills). Just ordered a motherboard for 110€ and I'll see how it goes.
-
Yes. That's what I did yesterday haha! The seller literally woke up after seeing a dispute on paypal
-
Hello. Yes. 1080MHz to be exact for 130W* There's also a 90W version but mine is 60W while the seller told me it's indeed the 130W max TDP. Nvidia panel and GPU-Z are stating max 60W. Sadly there are no compatible VBIOS I can flash without bricking. I can't just use any vendors VBIOS since they probably have a different UEFI partition.
-
Hello. The seller doesn't help either. Doesn't provide me with a high TDP VBIOS. It literally says on the listing it can do 130W max but it's 60W max in reality. They get 7700 in 3dmark timespy with PCIE gen3 I get 4185... Even on the mail, the seller confirmed me it was the 130W VERSION!! X-VSION are scammers for the price I've paid. Even the RTX 3000 is better...
-
Which version of the 3080 you have? 130W TDP? 150W TDP? Do you know how to edit VBIOS TDP? My RTX A3000 does only 60W instead of 130W. (VBIOS dump tells me it's a 60W max TDP)

Trying to decide on what upgrades: M18x R2 (2012)
SuperMG3 replied to jonv8944s's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
RTX 3000 = RTX 2060 = GTX 1070 Ram max 32GB DDR3 1866MHz -
Hey guys, is it normal my keyboard is working half? I cleaned the ribbon cable but still the same Like jklm doesn't register and some other keys (It's not the ribbon cable! Just the keyboard acts strange)
