I don't put liquid metal on my components anymore. PTM7950 should work well if the thermal pads are thin and allow proper contact to the core. So it seems 4080 supports eDP. Would be interesting to see it's thermal performance in M18xR2 with 3080 heatsink. If I can cool a 125w WX7100 OC in M17xR3, M18xR2 should be able to cool 4080 with 3080 heatsink in M18xR2. If that is the stock heat sink you're looking at 100w dissipation

You need to find a TB5 dock. There is a list of docks on reddit. And specifically make sure it has DP 2.1 or HDMI 2.1. I've used dell workstation docks but they will not support that high a res and refresh rate. Other option is, plug monitor directly to laptop and use a basic type-c hub for everything else

TDP is 150w. Should work fine in M18xR2 and M17xR4 I am talking to them now, maybe I will buy one for testing and post results. I also want to try RX 660 XT in M17xR3 eDP.

Price drop

Tempting...I messaged them LOL

so 6600 xt works on lvds? it shows all DP outs on the website. Unless it runs using integrated graphics to drive internal panel

Post benchmarks for time spy and fire strike here so others can also see and compare in the future. So it seems like you got it working. Someone else is trying with R9 M290X and there's isn't working but they didn't do the directX part which is also needed

Which registry edits did you do?

Unfortunately it started doing the TDP thing again, still trying to figure out what it is

Think I figured it out but need more testing https://www.3dmark.com/fs/33274452

I ordered mine, june eta date.

Price: $OLD Condition: Used (Excellent) Warranty: None [Can be extended through Alienware] Reason for sale: Buying new one with 5090 Payment: Paypal, Venmo, Apple Cash, Local Cash Item location: Martinez, CA Shipping: US48 Included International shipping: No Handling time: Ships within 1-3 days Feedback: https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ssj92?filter=feedback_page:All Specification: This is the laptop that set records during its release in 2023. I was on top 5 leaderboards for 3dmark and even the cinebencz r23 was 37k! Surprisingly, this laptop was used maybe 10 times total and has sat on my shelf most of its life. I normally use my other 10 old Alienwares laying around. Selling to fund the 5090 model since I want the better sound. This laptop is still on BIOS 1.6.0! This means you can undervolt, overclock, do whatever you want with the CPU. I haven't updated and I have no idea if the newer BIOS' allow any of this anymore.

Unfortunately I don’t k ow but it’s sounding like May. Price might be 4199 but let’s see. My biggest issue is, AW is forcing RAM and SSD upgrades with the cherry mx keyboard alone.

I’m gonna order one when the 5090 config is available. Gonna sell my m18 r1

Hi all, Looking for a fully working US keyboard for M17xR2
