cpu can hit at least 200w (I've gotten 200w so far but looks like it can keep going) hopefully in a few days I'll have some results to share. the stock paste job definitely doesn't help.

The Beast Returns - Alienware m18 - i9 13980HK 24c/RTX 4090 Mobile
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Better than the $235 I paid last year for mine. W10 works fine for me all drivers -
Cost is $559. This is currently the fastest card for M18xR2 working

The Beast Returns - Alienware m18 - i9 13980HK 24c/RTX 4090 Mobile
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
It works for changing power limits but when i try UV the CPU gets locked at 5x multiplier. so no UV yet but bios has options and xtu does have a lot of options. -

So your CPU also hits 100c instantly and thermal throttles it seems? Looks like AW made a bad choice going with liquid metal on the cpu. They should have stuck to paste or a phase change pad. My friends m18 isn't high pitch so that's interesting. Mine comes tomorrow so let's see if it also hits 100c. -
I'm good now. My laptop comes tomorrow, super excited. I ordered honeywell ptm7958 phase change paste and I already have honeywell ptm7950 phase change pads. From my experience, these are the best for laptop thermals. If mine also hits 100c like that then the liquid metal is definitely not making proper contact. I may test on my x14 first but we'll see. I bought 32gb 4800mhz ram but will be curious because it says it supports 5600mhz and 5800mhz xmp. Personally I am waiting for the 48GB DIMMs to become available so I can do 96GB RAM upgrade. I might try 1TB RAID0 (2x1TB) to see if both 2280 slots are wired to CPU. Should get 10-14gbps speeds if it works.

Wonder if they have eDP support

Something is definitely wrong with 13th gen mobile results right now. Even @Prema OC 13900HX gets 22k cpu score which isn't much more than those lower core count : https://www.3dmark.com/spy/36096687 My laptop is coming Thursday so I'll get to properly play around with it

*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
ssj92 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
Does anyone have i9 13900K/KS + RTX 4080 that can run a stock timespy and firestrike run? Or anyone got a link to one that is for sure a stock run with said hardware? Also it looks like newer Win11 build gets lower scores than older builds/win 10? is that true? -
Some quick runs on my friends m18. Still waiting for mine: [last run before he left: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/36889484 ]

Got to play with my friends m18 for a bit:

amd Ryzen 9 7945HX beats i9 13980HX in multi-core while using less power
ssj92 replied to saturnotaku's topic in Tech News
He had the exact same issues. insane amount of light bleed horrible coil whine not so great build quality cpu performance not good. I mean I don’t expect the m18 to be trouble free either but I’m sure it’ll have a lot more options- 35 replies

There should be a “thanks” button on my videos that allows you to tip. Other option is on my older videos (such as area-51m review) there should be a paypal donate link. the 18” laptops we get today are not the same as the older 18.4” models. The new ones are smaller, have a smaller screen, so they’re not as big as people may think. I plan to compare the size to my area-51m and m-18x. From the dimensions it’s similar to area-51m in size more than m18x. with the 15% off coupon the 4090 model isn’t much more expensive than 4080 models with tax. It’s definitely worth the upgrade especially the vram alone.

Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Run 3dmark firestrike. 4810MQ can be OC using throttlestop to like 3.9ghz or something I think -
I hope you bought the 4090 model with that coupon. For $200 more than what you had paid, you would have gotten a nice upgrade. 4080 is nice but in a properly cooled system (m18) I expect 4090 to perform well.

It can run full speed. I tested 512gb but no 1tb or higher. No power drain either. Someone else told me that they have trouble reocgnizing higher capacity ssds. I burned mine accidently along with gtx 1080 long time ago so I cannot test it further

GeForce GTX 980M voltage regulator mod
ssj92 replied to DoenerBoy123's topic in Components & Upgrades
I want to undervolt my 980M to 1.00v , how would I do that in maxwell bios editor? Or better yet, is it possible to unlock the voltage, power, and clock sliders? I would love to be able to slide the voltage down in nvidia inspector or msi afterburner -
I have one of those. Works fine, don’t know if it works with super high capacity ssds though.

amd Ryzen 9 7945HX beats i9 13980HX in multi-core while using less power
ssj92 replied to saturnotaku's topic in Tech News
Asus G18 built quality is no where near Alienware m18. My friend was going to get G18 with 4080 until I showed him the m18 and helped him get the 15% coupon. He will get his m18 one day before me since he paid for next day shipping lol. I get free 2-day air with my dell account, he's more impatient than me.- 35 replies

ssj92 replied to saturnotaku's topic in Tech News
Yes I am. But to be fair the competition already has 13980HX CPUs out. They have QHD 240Hz displays out too. At this rate I might as well have waited for R2 model. Original plan was to cancel 13900HX model & buy 13980HX but they already took so long to release 4090 GPUs that the 13980HX might still be months away. Dell does offer 30-day returns so worse case would be I return it and go 13980HX or 7945HX but it all depends how my 13900HX performs. 4080 model is $2,705.34 after tax with 15% coupon here. 4090 model is $3,264.13 after tax with 15% coupon code. tax here is nearly 10%. Difference of $558.79 which is a bit more than I was expecting (400-500 max). However, at this price point I'd rather go big or go home, especially with 12GB vs 16GB VRAM difference too. My laptop delivers March 29th as of now so we will see.- 35 replies

The Beast Returns - Alienware m18 - i9 13980HK 24c/RTX 4090 Mobile
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Right now there is no 4K panels for 18" as far as I know. AW has heard everyone about 300nit screens, however, not sure if they will be able to implement it in R1. The 240hz QHD display might be possible in R1 since the ASUS uses it, but probably won't be available as an option anytime soon.
