    Interesting, might have to try this with my WX4150 instead of M2000M for RTX 5000 in slave slot. Pascal and older no longer receive drivers so my RTX 5000 uses a older driver now. Also I wonder if this can be a way to solve the dx12 issue in Optimus mode with intel hd 3000. In SG mode with hd3000 al dx12 gpus only work up to dx11 for some reason. So do you still run into the power limit issue?

    Crisis recovery worked first time but after other bios revision I had to do complete disassembly. Crisis recovery is working again so I think whatever I changed in one of the bios revisions caused brick but now its fixed

    I believe you must have a price for each item regardless if you are open to offers. Also 1 pic needs a handwritten note with your username. What did you use to remove the soft touch? Beautiful red laptop. Would love it but shipping to US is probably insane

    Anyone know the exact location of the bios chip for M17xR3 and have a pic? Trying to see exactly where it's at before full disassembly. Maybe @sliderfra ? EDIT: Found it! requires removing palm rest and the black sticky stuff. U48 is bios (4Mb) Winbond 25Q32BV I'll upload a recovery bios and ec later based on my a13 bios in a bit.

    So you are using A11 unlocked? If you are using oem cards you can also just use the stock bios files

    M17xR4 does not have the TDP bug of the AW17 R1 (m17xR5) and the AW 18 R1 (m18xR3). I am referring to the eDP 120hz 3D panel. The RXT 3000/5000 should work fine with 60hz panel using Optimus. RTX 5000 should work fine at full power too. Wonder if core is getting too hot

    Does anyone know if the display assembly and eDP cable from Alienware Area-51m R2 is a direct fit to the Area-51m R1?

    I don't remember if 3d was an issue, maybe @Maxware79 remembers if R3 3d panel works for r4 with 3d. I know the AW logo doesn't work
  9. ssj92
    AW17 and AW18 can use external ports without internal panel connected using PEG on all cards pascal+ TDP bug affects my haswell AW18 with HP RTX 5000 as well. It also does it on RTX 3000 (ADLINK). When I have some time I will disassemble my M18xR1 & AW18 to do the resistor mod that janepa said and see if it fixes the issue.

    Clearly your knowledge of bios modding is beyond mine but what you mentioned is what I was going to say.. "Removed UEFI from vbios" Now this is what the issue with M17xR3 is. What GPUs do you have access to to test? I need a list of everything pre pascal you have. I will try modding vbios myself for you. Or you can send me oem vbios and uefi removed vbios and I can check

    I own M6600, M4600 and now 7520/7720. I also own essentially all AW from 2011-2014 except M17xR4. I wouldn't say the Precision dust the AW. AW has superior cooling and better IO/chassis (M18x at least). Anyways I will look into the 8 beeps, maybe you are correct, eDP is stuck behind MUX. I should have bought 4090 when it was cheaper and 4070 too. Now they've gone up. TDP bug only affects haswell AW (Aw17/AW18). The M17xR3/R4/M18xR1/R2 do not have the issue.

    Just accidently joined the 7520 and the 7720 club LOL. Have a T1000 from Adlink coming and Tesla P6 for 7720 (removing P4000 for another laptop). Can you dump your T1000 vbios? Curious if it's different from mine
  13. ssj92
    This is not possible unless you are in PEG mode as far as I know. 980M would be the fastest (technically MSI 980 desktop card is fastest) that works in PEG. On newer AW18 you can use PEG with external display on any gpu without internal display connected
  14. ssj92
    1) Yes IF the gpu you have does not have 13D7 device id (non g-sync model vs g-sync). Clevo ones are mostly g-sync models. 2) Use the latest unlocked bios and set video to SG mode 3) Dell vbios is recomended. You can flash AW18 980M vbios but in SG mode it shouldn't matter. 3) Yes 4) Remove it

    M17xR4 & AW17 R1 both support full UEFI mode so I am curious why they didn't work for you guys. It's unfortunate I don't have a M17xR4 but I do have a AW17 for testing. I am receiving T1000 today so maybe when I have some time I will take a look. What are the core temps? Sounds like it might be good to invest in thicker thermal pads. Something might be overheating
