Probably a long shot but does anyone have a pair of RTX 3090 or 3090Ti theyโd be willing to sell for a good price? wanna play around with nvlink 3090s next lol -

If people are willing to test I can mod the m17xr4 bios using the same patch I did for m17xr3 which allows both variants of 980m to work including g-sync- 10 replies

Does anyone have the data sheet for Xvsion RTX 5090 MXM GPU? I keep asking them but they donโt provide it and I need it to make an x bracket and heatsink.

Where did you get this?

Good to know. I will see if there's a way to keep it visible with any cpu, although I do not know if not XM sandy bridge have turbo bin OC support like ivy bridge. The uploaded bios works up to Pascal on R3. My next version has Turing working too in eDP & SG. Still haven't figured out RTX 4090 in PEG. Also want to try and get 16GB DIMMs working too before releasing the next version. Other last change will be bios option per sata port to choose either sata3 or sata2 speed.

Guys, I remember someone here posting that the new 6xx drivers are not good. Can someone catch me up on why? I'm on 596.xx on both desktop & laptops. I finally got SLI working on 596.xx drivers using the same old patch for 446.xx drivers. SO now I am aiming for 616.xx drivers. -

656W on load at 4.6Ghz ๐ now I know why the breaker trips when my wife uses the microwave in the kitchen and I'm benchmarking LOL -

so my 1 1/2 year old son figured out how to open the magnetic side panel on my corsair 9000d. next he decided to pull out one of the hard tubing causing coolant to spill everywhere. nothing was damaged thankfully, but I did learn my pump only runs like 50% most of the time even with cpu on full load, causing high temps. I fixed that and well this is what happens next lol. 4.5Ghz on all cores W7-3465X. Yeah I probably should have kept my 2 RTX 3090s instead of selling them. Turns out they would have lasted awhile longer , but my RTX Titans are fun too. Still need to do the shunt mod. i forgot if it was @electrosoft who sent me a picture of the mod. I saw you were rocking an AMD system. It's unfortunate Intel didn't release the W790 platform with a sibling for a true HEDT successor for us "normal" people. I bought the motherboard for $949 on "sale" at the time. I was lucky to find someone selling a QS CPU for less than half of the $2899 MSRP for the CPU. 128GB RDIMMs before the rampocolypse for ~$700. Overall it came out a bit more than a i9-7980XE platform did back then but this platform screams Mr. Fox especially with the X unlocked CPUs. Nothing like overclocking +1.3Ghz on water pulling over 500w of power. ๐ -

ssj92 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
Ironically I bought a RTX 5080 in early 2025 before all the AI hype but returned it because it felt weird going from 24GB RTX Titan SLI to RTX 5080. I was hoping to find a 5090 but at this rate I might as well wait for the 6090 ๐ -
I already tried multiple MXM cards years ago in my X170SM, I didn't just make up the story that it's not wired in the mxm port. Don't rely on X-VSION to do anything. Have you purchased their latest laptops? If so how are they?

Hiya fellas. Good to see everyone around here. Thought I'd drop this here as I had a little time to play with my desktop. BTW am I the only one who doesn't like the new Cinebench 2026? I feel like R23 was better. I like seeing all the threads populate the image. W7-3465X 3.2Ghz all core stock > 4.3Ghz all core (28-cores). Single thread should be around 5-5.2ghz somewhere (I didn't check to see if it was actually sticking). I have a VM open and some other stuff but doubt it'd drastically change the score. Also got a Z890+270K Plus to play with next week. Still no 5000 series gpu though lol -
I told you this before you even wanted to buy a x170 clevo. The pins on the mxm port are not wired for power. You need to use a gpu that uses clevo's power connector. if you want to use a standard mxm card on the x170 you need to solder all the power pins from the clevo power connector area.

I looked into this and it seems it might not be possible due to how they keys are embeded in the system. I haven't gotten too deep into it as I have too many projects right now Unfortunately i don't have a m17xr4. I literally have all the others.

Yes once I have some more time I will work on it and publish it here. -
Wonder if XVsions new RTX 5090 would work on these rigs?
ssj92 replied to Busta Bloodnut's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
It'll probably work in SG mode no issue on any of the Alienwares...well that's all I can say for now ๐ I hope to get one in the future to play with but it's way too much $$$ right now. -
the RGB panel is worth it and that screen alone is a reason to own these M17x/R2 systems. I have RGB panel in my m17x & M17xR2.

Project: Unlocked BIOS Area-51m Series
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 13 / 15 / 17 / 51m (2015-2020)
It works fine as a bootable usb to unlock 1.5.0 temporarily. need to boot from usb everytime to access unlocked bios. need more bios version dumps to expand the compatibility -
Depends. on 1080p panel you will get inverted colors. On lower res panel it'll work. unless you do dual PEG trick.

If no one cares about anything older than 1.5.0 we don't need to do it. I am fine with 1.50+ whatever newer versions you guys use -

Is this on Area-51m? The main issue is, I don't know how to bypass boot guard. It requires signed bios to boot , even if you spi flash it doesn't boot. -

I already did 1.5.0 because it's what I have. In my opinion 1.5.0 is the best "old bios" that maintains most compatibility. we probably want the newer bios' that you guys run. -

I can access the hidden menus. My goal is to make a universal bootable USB for Area-51m R1/R2. It will first detect the system, then detect bios version, detect variables and show the bios with all meus unlocked. so when you change something, it will properly affect your bios version. i already tested a bit on 1.5.0 but need a few more versions to make 1.5.0 perfect.
