    M18xR1 can only use cards newer than 8XXM series in slot 2 while using a older card in slot 1 to allow it to boot. This is a BIOS issue that we have not solved yet. I'm running Quadro M2000M in primary slot with OG heatsink and in slot 2 I have a RTX 5000 in slot 2 with a custom heatsink
  2. ssj92
    Do you have location on motherboard picture for m18x r1?
  3. ssj92
    I'm restoring a AW17 R1, I will see after unlocking bios if those settings work on it
  4. ssj92
    Is the resistor on the motherboard or MXM card?
  5. ssj92
    HP RTX 5000 throttle in my AW18. I even did resistor mod still throttle
  6. ssj92
    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.
  13. ssj92
    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
  15. ssj92
    Tried this in AW 18 but doesn’t work. When you select iGFX it turns off dGPU.
  16. ssj92
    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?
  17. ssj92
    I don’t remember about pascal but for sure RTX 2000 series and newer throttle
  18. ssj92
    So 5080 was plug n play?
  19. ssj92
    I'm still curious if anyone with stock 980m SLI or 970m SLI motherboard has tested newer GPUS. It's a shame we can't use these newer cards in the haswell laptops
  20. ssj92
    I would be surprised if you can "feel" the "IPC" difference between a 4930MX/4940MX vs 4980HQ. A 4930MX OC to 4.3Ghz without any additional voltage. It can hit 4.5Ghz easily. 4980HQ is nice for Optimus since it has the extra cache but won't make a significant difference. I'd rather have OC 4930MX with 1866-2133Mhz RAM (32GB) vs 4980HQ with 16gb ram. Take it from someone who owns 10 laptops from Core 2 Quad to Ultra 9 275HX. 😁
  21. ssj92
    Yes and it caused code 43.
  22. ssj92
    Modified vBIOS gave me code 43 unfortunately so idk if I did it correctly
  23. ssj92
    Yeah something about TDP issues with newer cards, so doesn't matter which GPU you use. Only other way to test is either increase the tdp to like 150w and see if it works or decrease it to like 90w.
  24. ssj92
    I use x-bracket from 680m I think or some 100w nvidia card.
  25. ssj92
    Can I haz one as well after it's done lol Do you have a extra oem heatsink for slot 2? I think both slots are the same but I want to play with 880M SLI on this platform but don't have 2nd heatsink
