    I can assume by your experience, the GPU hits it's thermal limit and shuts of. It stops sending power to the core, leaving you with the internal GPU, thus you have 0 degrees showing at HWinfo. Meaning the GPU is absent from the system. I am not sure, but since you had a 980m, the heatsink is the 100watt one?
  2. Jerryzago
    Look at the photos below. One if for 75watt GPUs and the other is for 100watt GPUs. I believe the 980m needs the three heatpipe one. I had my R2 with dual 980m with the amd variants
  3. Jerryzago
    I believe those 75watt heatsinks have 2 heatpipes and 100watt equivalents have 3 heatpipes. So maybe they will fit the GPU, but cooling will be a problem

    Very nice upgrade. I believe MX-4 is an outdated thermal paste. I have an RTX3000 and with MX-4 and PK-3 temps were a problem. I switched to PTM 7950. Now the gpu tops at 75 degress with the hotspot getting to 84. I have an AW 17 so it uses the stock fun curve.

    I have mine for almost a year. I had to change the screen cable and saw the two connectors at the board. My screen is LVDS.

    Can you share a photo of the heatsink? 4060 is an MXM-A right? Heatsink is the stock AW 17 R4 one? Is it custom made ?
  7. Jerryzago
    Yeah, AW 18 seems to not work with my settings.
  8. Jerryzago
    I have a post in the custom builts section with a gallery of BIOS settings. I have the unlocked A14+ and the Video Settings are set to iGFX. Both GPUs are visible in windows and no throttling. Power draw tops out at 80watts for me.

    Mine is a PNY RTX3000 and doesn't throttle in my Alienware 17.

    I am tempted to replace the screen and cable to my AW 17 with the 120hz one and the edp cable......I will make the RTX 3000 work in PEG mode then!
  11. Jerryzago
    Yes. Nvcleanstall is our friend since we mainly have not supported GPUs in our systems. I think natively, the 970m was supported for the AW 18, not the M18x R2
  12. Jerryzago
    That is a major brakethrough and a big win for the mxm mainboards. Sadly this won't work for the AW18 or M18x R1/2 because they have LVDS displays, right? Maybe for the M17x R4 and 17 R1 with the 3D screens?
  13. Jerryzago
    Thanks. I am running Windows 11
  14. Jerryzago
    Thank you for the info. I will try this in my Alienware 17 and see results.
  15. Jerryzago
    Yes. I meant GPU heatsinks. Here is an ad from him on ebay. Contact him from there. https://ebay.us/m/snDk9W Yes, he also sells the 5 heatpipe one for 1070s that has 100watt rating. My RTX 3000 is looking fine with the stock heatsink and fan. For the speakers, I source them from AliExpress. You can measure the speaker casings, lookup their characteristics (wattage, Omh, etc) and either swap the stock ones, print maybe new ones or DIY a solution. There is a post here in the Alienware 18 that a user swaps the stock speakers to higher quality ones.
