Ah! Gotcha. Thanks for explaining that for me!
-
Forgive my ignorance haha, are you saying your flex cable helps solve the issue with the mux switch so we could use the dp out? If so, I'd gladly purchase a few of them to help fund the project. You guys are like wizards and I'm just here with my screw driver waiting for a break through haha. I do plan to order a 4090 from X Vision in the near future. It'd be killer to run that card(and the 3080 i currently have) directly to a display, not through the igpu, even if it's bottlenecked from the old 3920xm. If the flex cable doesn't address that issue, again sorry. I get lost with all the back and forth.

Thanks for explaining everything. I'm catching up haha. I might have to get a M6700 to play around with too.
-
I thought that might be the case when I couldn't get it to work. I was hoping for a workaround though. Oh well.

The heatsink I have for the 3080 might work pretty well. It's far more beefy than the stock one, even the 100w variant. As far as the eDP goes, is that why it uses Intel Graphics for display, even when I plug an external display up to it? I was hoping to be able to hook it up to a better display at times, but display adapter is Intel and resolution options maxed out at 1080p@60hz. I thought about attempting a custom resolution and seeing if itd work but haven't had the cance. I figured over displayport it'd do 1440p, but we'll see.

My 3080 build went really smooth, and I have almost everything ready for the 4090 build, if it works.
-
So am I understanding this correctly, the 4090 will work in the M18X R2, but is not in the M17X R4?
-
All upgrades installed, 3080 is up and running. I've never done custom drivers or unlocked bios, so I appreciate all the info you guys put on here. I've built dozens of desktops and practically built this M18X at this point. I swapped everything over, the motherboard and all to a nebula red case and upgraded everything in it. 🤙

Awesome, just making sure. I plan to do the same. Thanks!
-
I assume I bought the same heatsink off ebay. Did you use the standard x bracket or source a different one? The x bracket I have with the original 100w Nvidia heatsink will need to be modified where it's a different offset with the 3080. Shouldn't be hard to do that, but just making sure. I think I have everything to fully upgrade my M18X R2 this weekend. It's going from entry level 3610QM and 660M to 3920XM and 3080.

I hope everything works, I'm interested in ordering one of the 4090's also. I'll have a 3080 on the way hopefully in a few days.
