    Does anyone know if the display assembly and eDP cable from Alienware Area-51m R2 is a direct fit to the Area-51m R1?
  2. ssj92
    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

    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
  7. 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
  8. 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

    So even with backlight cable you cannot get rtx 3000 to work in m17x r4?
  11. ssj92
    I believe this issue was found by @janepa and I have to still disassemble my aw18/m18x laptops to find the resistor to mod to fix the issue.
  12. ssj92
    980M SLI is the highest official setup
  13. ssj92
    Do you have pics of 675m sli config?
  14. ssj92
    It can work in PEG mode if you use a oem gpu in slot 1 (such as 880M, 980M, 780M etc.) but it's more of a headache. Better to do slot 1 for less issues.
  15. ssj92
    Flash the 980M vBIOS from alienware 18 driver site
