The 17R4 I have works with either touchpad or ribbon connection. The new 17R5 doesn’t work with either!

When single channel, it boots perfectly fine, both rank doing pretty good, but the i7-6700HQ memory controller can’t power rhem or something? Is there a flash to allow more voltage in rhis and/or the System Agent (SA)? is dual rank single channel going to be just as quick as dual channel single rank on laptop? I have a 970m 3GB in this thing, so I want all the help it can get!!????? and why are these VRAM modules like, 512GB a piece? I thought this thing had 6GB… now its like a 1060m 3GB basically…

Do the R5 and r4 have different touchpads? Mine still works, but no back light on either of my touchpads! I have tried most every fix, even search rhe driver OD for the “I2C HID” device and installed/repaired multiple times… could the Recovery OS do ot? i swapped touchpads for nothing!!! Lol just looking to see who’s swapped an R5 board into an R4, could that be the reason why it doesn’t work?

Alienware 17 r4 with motherboard from r5?
ShifflyTheSHO replied to mtvgt's topic in Alienware 13 / 15 / 17 / 51m (2015-2020)
Just got done with mine, only one new connector and no Recovery installed at first, and my touchpad backlight doesn’t work, if anyone has any solutions? How do you get your touchpad backlight to function? my 17R4 works with eitber pas or ribbon/plate, but my 17R5 board is having that as the final issue! -
alienware 17 r5 bios mod possible ?
ShifflyTheSHO replied to Batfinks's topic in Alienware 13 / 15 / 17 / 51m (2015-2020)
Does any of the Dell update software work? does you touchpad backlight work? -
For my P650SH , I used the Custom Resolution Utility to manually set my 4K display with corrupted EDID data to both have both 48hz and 60hz in its selectable resolutions with the Freesync range data marker and then Nvidia was able to recognize that it was a Gsync display!!! Without CRU, my display was nothing but a black screen whenever the Nvidia display drivers would load, but I have my 135kHz Modded Trinitron right next to my workstation as a primary display while I figure out which screen to give my P750DM3…. Like, is it really a 40pin connector and why or how is the Alienware m15 r6 240hz 1440p screen a 30pin connector? Thanks Dell, now I have to bug an eDP board from China and make it fit inside my case to use my 1620p 120hz OLED against and make it work fr… LCD panels are all garbage to me anyways, so maybe this was a sign to make that 3080 16GB push the resolution it was designed to use… lol my 21” CRT is at 120hz 2160x1620 thanks to DSR factors, so I should probably go AMOLED or keep my 60hz 1080p.

Too high SA gives me instability or no boot it seems, and Memory Controller is a separate function for us, but I need to set it to 4 so that the RAM runs at full speed with 4 DIMMs and that thing flies way faster than 2400mhz on all four DIMMs!! i want to better understand what Ring PLL does and why or how System Agent is different than Memory controller. I have a 9900KF so no difference with the GT afaik.

PNY CL20 RAM also sucks ar 3333mhz cl20 and 3200mhz CL18 where the other ones do fine! Timetec CL16 can run 16-18-18-36, tFAW 28, and tREFI 12480, tRFC 448, and tRTP 12 at 1.35v, but you might have to bump the Memory Controller by 2. 4 causes instability with out 4 sticks and I don’t know why I didn’t recognize that sooner…

Memory controller: 4, 5, or 6 times 0.0175. 7 times is too much voltage and it will instantly power down.

Was This the Very First P650RP? How to Unlock BIOS?
ShifflyTheSHO replied to ShifflyTheSHO's topic in Sager & Clevo
And the P650HS heatsink: went from a 6700HQ to a 7700HQ, and a GTX 1060 6GB to a 1070! i still haven’t paid a P650RE with the GTX 970m 6GB… should I get a 980m motherboard and heatsink? I mean, mine works and is for sale, but is it worth it over the 970m? Also, this is the nicest finish on any laptops I’ve ever experienced! Everything new is breaking away in just a few years but this thing could break a car window in an emergency, and has enough battery until the wrecker arrives!
-
Well, the board didn’t power on so I shipped it back today Eluktronics #0000001… …and my P650HS arrived, but the BIOS is locked and the GPU might be bad. Also, it needs thermals, but this combined heatsink is COOL!!

Timetec Pinnacle Konduit SODIMM 3333mhz (CL18 18-20-20-40, 2x16GB Dual Rank Hynix) Its Baby-steps!!!, but considering laptops have like less than 8 options in and CL16 1.35v wouldn’t boot initially until I added slower memory and pulled that on reset (4 SODIMM slots!) wasn’t working on my Clevo, is this moderate enough, or since I had my normal CL22 Hynix and Micro here… at 3200mhz, should I assume these ICs were the same ones at 3600mhz CL16 on desktop RAM? Like, I will send it eventually, but I’d rather type all this before I go through my BIOS again to change all those settings back to 120hz CRT-fast!! Samsung would only handle CL18 at 3200mHz and that includes the basic PNY ICs that were on there crappy, CL20 performance RAM that was regular 2666mhz RAM with a 1.2v flash to the next higher level enabled by XMP, but Hynix has some good chips. The two look Identical btw, but those Samsung/PNY made me think I corrupted my BIOS with how the overclock lost the data! Also my Memory controller is set to +0.070 and will start overheating or crashing at possibly +0.090, but that was when I was running 4x16GB dual rank, so do I even need to up the MC any more now that the CL20 PNYs are gone? I just had some Muskins too that didn’t post so I sent them back. Did I mess up with buying these Timetec ICs at half the price of Muskins? I have the voltage at 1.35v now too. Newsflash: 3466mhz didn’t work at CL22 and now I have to clear my CMOS to reset all these setting in like, 40 different menus. was I supposed to set it to “odd ratio” since I was running a an odd number? I forgot to take pictures of all the settings too!!

Clarifying Questions on upgrading P870DM3 and P750DM2
ShifflyTheSHO replied to 0anassa0's topic in Sager & Clevo
From what I am gathering, (looking on eBay mainly). All if our P750dm boards have 30 pin eDP connections while the 17” guys have proper 40 pin connectors. (my P750 board says p775dm2mb where you plug in the keyboard ribbons and the 17” ones say p750) can anybody confirm or did I buy all these stupid displays for my dinosaur? or is it that we don’t have the LVDS connectior? Sorry for forgetting and not rereading the thread, but we’re at the weird transition period from 30 pin eDP cables from 6th Generation and before. -
P750DM2 dark screen issue with 2080S or 3070 GPU swap
ShifflyTheSHO replied to anassa's topic in Sager & Clevo
So my board has “P775DM2” but my computer case bottom says its a P750DM3, do I have a 30pin eDP or a 40pin eDP? I have a 240hz 1440p panel from a 15.6” Dalienware so do I need an adaptor, did somebody swap, or did these laptops come with whatever parts and be thrown together? My laptop is 15.6”, but do the motherboards say whatever or are they different from one another? -
So turns out despite me constantly seeing 30pin Clevo eDP for 15.6” Clevos, I could have simply looked at my motherboard and found out that there’s a nice “P775DM2MB-0D” stamped underneath my keyboard. I’m going to upgrade to the Dell/Alienware 1440p and 240hz screen brand new with a 40pin eDP with part number 6-43-PC701-011-1N and when I found out that’s too new of a cable, I’ll have part number 6-43-P7751-020-1L here on Friday! (Which makes more sense)
