    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
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. ssj92
    980M SLI is the highest official setup
  11. ssj92
    Do you have pics of 675m sli config?
  12. 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.
  13. ssj92
    Flash the 980M vBIOS from alienware 18 driver site

    Interesting, I also had that BSOD in M6600. Perhaps I should have looked deeper to see someone else experienced it. For me it was with RTX 3000. I always go the bsod. Currently I am running P4000 in M6600 and it works 99% of the time. 1% of the time, the whole PC freezes. I am confident it is due to the P4000 for some reason.

    That's Pascal and as far as I know, they're not signing them. Mac OS and Windows are different. From my understanding, no one can sign vbios anymore on 2000+ series. vBIOS is encrypted for the most parts. Small things like clocks can be changed still
  16. ssj92
    All vbios now go through nvidia ever since rtx 2000 series and must be signed by them. Only they have the tools needed to modify vbios.
  17. ssj92
    I think you underestimate how much help I tried to get regarding it. They couldn't give me any modified vbios. vBIOS is made only from nvidia. nVidia has to modify it. The only reason we have rtx 4090/3080 mxm vbios honestly is probably because it's a leaked vbios for development
  18. ssj92
    Not DOA, flashing vbios from soldered a4500 gpus made pc boot but always got code 43 because of vbios mismatch
  19. ssj92
    RTX 3000 and RTX 5000 (Turing) works fine and does not "force" above 4g decod check like the newer cards. RTX 4080/4090 also do not force the check. The professional cards starting with A4500 (amphere) have this check. I checked in multiple laptops even eDP and they all have no post. Who knows maybe blackwell doesn't have test. I took the risk back then to buy $2,500 card so this time I will sit back and wait
  20. ssj92
    If this card is like the A4500 I tested long time ago it will not work. It requires above 4g decoding in bios and resizable bar. We need ZRT/XVSION to release rtx 5090 version which does not require these.
  21. ssj92
    Okay so I can bridge the two points on resistor as well? Do you know where it may be located on AW 18 R1 (M18xR3)? That system has the issue with throttle. For M18xR2 it has been good. M18xR1 only has throttle when doing dual PEG method.
  22. ssj92
    If I understand correctly, solder a wire from pin 27 to bottom part of resistor? This works for both mxm slots or only slot 1?
  23. ssj92
    I saw you joined the AW club which has unlocked bios. Try flashing A11 stock first, then flash A11 unlocked. There's readme file. For A15 same thing, first flash a15 stock then a15 unlocked.
  24. ssj92
    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
  25. ssj92
    Do you have location on motherboard picture for m18x r1?
