Do you have location on motherboard picture for m18x r1?
-
I'm restoring a AW17 R1, I will see after unlocking bios if those settings work on it
-
Is the resistor on the motherboard or MXM card?
-
HP RTX 5000 throttle in my AW18. I even did resistor mod still throttle
-
Finally the new RTX MXM cards will work in our laptops!

I wonder if adlink rtx 3000 can also work with this or that card doesn't work with edp at all -
Once @SuperMG has some flex cables I’ll might try.

The TDP issue affects Alienware 18 (M18xR3) and Alienware 17 R1 (M17xR5). I have not been able to solve it , so if you have any ideas I can try. Also when running dual PEG (example, M2000M Primary + RTX 5000 secondary in M18xR1), there's is TDP reduction. If the card is 80W TDP it only run 60W TDP (lose 20-25W for some reason).

It won't work. Need a BIOS mod to make UEFI either completely gone or fix the issue. M17xR3 doesn't have UEFI, it has some sort of UEFI wrapper which causes issues with any GPU newer than 800M to not post. WX7100 works because AMD's UEFI vBIOS is different.

If this was our attitude toward all these older laptops, we would have not gotten anywhere in the first place. back in 2012-2013 era, everyone gave up on M17xR3 and M18xR1 saying they will never reach beyond 800M series. Here I am in 2025 with W7100 in M17xR3 (eDP) and RTX 5000 in M18xR1 (Dual PEG). Never give up 😁
-
now this is interesting. Wonder if it'll help me run some cards on M17xR3 lol
-
Someone posted A14+ for AW18 on the NBR forums but I don't seem to have it saved. I wonder if @Reciever may have a copy? But he also had the Ranger 17 R1 not the 18 so maybe not.
-
Weird I matched all settings but still no dGPU showing up in IGFX mode maybe it’s because I’m on a12. I know there was a A14+ made on NBR forums but I never saved it
-
I think we need to see more settings from your bios such as the pcie settings as well. Might be useful to post a bunch of pics from your bios (relevant ones of course). AW17 R1/AW18 use the same platform so they should behave almost identically with LVDS display
-
Tried this in AW 18 but doesn’t work. When you select iGFX it turns off dGPU.
-
I’ll try this later but it doesn’t make sense. you’re saying in iGPU only mode the dGPU shows up with that dynamic scheme option?
