I am looking to buy a 980m MXM 3.0 with 8 GB Vram. with SLI Conncector and non Gsync Model with Device ID 13D7. I want it for secondary to my M18X R2 so the specs for it are specific. No stupid Prices and preferably inside the EU to avoid customs. PM me or post here. Payment via paypal Ebay profile https://www.ebay.ie/usr/gerasimosgreece Thank you in advance.

Please send me an message, if you are inside the EU. I might be interested.

So for someone who might me interested, back when 980m SLI was a thing for the M18x R2, power was not enough. So I went ahead and made my own dual power supply mod with a coulomb meter that shows wattage, Voltage, amperage and power consumption in real time. Recipe was simple. Two power bricks, a bridge rectifier to direct voltage and amperage in one direction, and a screen to show me what is happening. So I picked up: - An coulomb meter and a shunt to withstand at least 50amps Because 330w / 19,5V = 17 amps x 2 (psus) = 34 amps - 4 Diodes with the lowest voltage drop - Two Dell specific Cable Extensions (that was the name on Ebay) - Cable fasteners with adhesive tape - Insulating tape - Soldering Iron - My trusted dremel - Patience and 'Vision' So the idea was to have it modular, so both psus can be connected at the same time, or just one, or none. Also to prevent throttling - Flash swicks unlocked A11 Bios to be able to use 980m obviously - Power up the system - Enter BIOS setting - Go to Advanced Settings and Video Configutation - Select IGFX (intergrated GPU) - Save and Reboot - Enter BIOS again, no need to wait to enter windows - Switch your GPU to Dedicated one (PEG). This is effective as long as you keep your laptop to the wall charger and even when putting it to sleep. If you power it down, and plug it back in, repeat the process. Actual footage of both GPUs running at 97% Here is the screen The 'finished' product! The cable fasteners Wiring instructions Diodes My second 980m has long gone, so I am only running single, and with the family and kids, I bearly use my laptop. I am at a search for a 980m just for the 'fun' of it. It is always 'cool' to have a dual GPU laptop 😅😅😅😅

I am a returning member from NBR too. Mostly on alienware and back when I had an Acer 8930G, but didn't posted back then. Hope to see all the knowledge, diy and new ideas, thrive again!

I had no idea the QM chips were able to overclock from the BIOS. Throttle stop did the trick back in the days. I have the tripple pipe heatsink in my 3720qm and I might try these settings and report back temps. I upgraded to tripple pipe to be able to switch to an XM, but step back a bit, because our customs charges too much to have anything imported outside the EU.

Nice to see the community trying to stay on it's feet.

Hello. I am from the NBR forum, mainly posting in Alienware thread. I have a M18x R2 and still keeping it to this day
