The Beast Returns - Alienware m18 - i9 13980HK 24c/RTX 4090 Mobile
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
If you get the 13980HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 4090, QHD, CherryMX model let me know if you wanna trade for mine LOL -
Dell is pushing CAMM, a priorietary RAM module format
ssj92 replied to Etern4l's topic in Components & Upgrades
Yeah ironically this format is actually better than SODIMM for higher speed memory. It's why laptop SODIMM is stuck under 6Ghz whereas desktop is already at 8Ghz. If it does become standard at least it should hopefully allow higher speeds and capacity. I still find it weird DDR5 SODIMM was developed and no one thought about there being a bottleneck at higher speeds. -

Get the i9 13980HX & 4090 version. Still got the 15% coupon right? lol -
Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Submit a ticket to 3dmark support and link to your result. Tell them the GPU. They will fix it in 24 hours and all your results will become valid. -

Have you tried ptm7950? -
RTX 3000 opens up ray tracing, dlss, hvec 8k acceleration, rtx video super resolution (coming later for us) Why use a older Pascal GPU?

Where did you get the T1000? My friend bought a 1050Ti and it doesn't work for him. He ordered a P1000 now and hopefully that one works

Alienware M18 undervolt protection won't disable
ssj92 replied to MogRules's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
I had UV since 1.2.0 but someone else has confirmed 1.6.0 works with XTU. Honestly don't bother with XTU if BIOS UV is working. XTU and AWCC don't play nice together. Once I am done tweaking I may remove AWCC completely unless they allow more options like XTU.- 59 replies

LOL I'll be happy to even hit 40k even with a cooler or ac cooling just for fun. But for 24/7 usage a undervolt scoring around 35-36k with temps peaking around low 90s I will be happy with. May try LM in the future again but I want to wait and see what others get after their repaste. You get 40k @ 258W I'm getting 37k @ 175W so it's quite impressive how he mobile chip performs at the lower power. I can hit over 200w on this (thank you AW for not limiting power this time) but again I will have to run ac cooling to see if I can not thermal throttle to reach 40k+ club

Alienware M18 undervolt protection won't disable
ssj92 replied to MogRules's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
If it shows in HWINfo then it should be working. Maybe your XTU got bugged. I would try removing XTU and reinstalling- 59 replies

You must be using "all-core enhancement" or with increased power limits because the "stock" 13900K score around 38k from what I've seen. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-13900k/6.html Not to mention this is still stock on 13900HX running 5200Mhz RAM and still with a little bit of thermal throttling. Someone did get over 38k on 13980HX so next goal is 38k then after that OC. When I OC I expect to get higher than 38-39k hopefully. This is a realistic scenario, I can run the benchmark over and over and score around 36-37k. There's no "cooler pad" or anything, just my laptop sitting on my desk. Why would I limit it to 90c? The laptop cpu runs well below 100c in 99% of loads besides benchmarks that peg the CPU at 100% load over 175w. The repaste actually helped more than I expected. I didn't realize the CPU was boosting much higher I was so stuck on temps.

Did I say 36k? Sorry I meant 37k:

Have you tried entering 100 in the core voltage offset in bios and see if that fixes it?- 59 replies

*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
ssj92 replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
Repasted with ptm7950, cores are much closer but still can hit 100c. Performance went up and I see CPU now retains much higher boost so it makes sense. 36k club: 37k: club: On desktop side of things....bought a 4070 FE lol -
lol that guy didn't even bother to look up why his cpu was 55w power. It was a bug in earlier m16/m18 bios, all he had to do was update/reset bios to fix it, but these youtubers don't care they will just say this is how it is. So interestingly I realized my CPU temps didn't improve because now the cpu boost higher. Even though its hitting 100c it now scores better and cores are closer. I will try removing the foam barrier and applying fresh ptm7950 to see if it improves further. 36k club 😄

Naw, I am debating now of buying 2 subs and doing this to area-51m and m18 as well

adding a subwoofer to the area-51m
ssj92 replied to i.bakar's topic in Alienware 13 / 15 / 17 / 51m (2015-2020)
Nice I should buy 2 subwoofers from ebay for my area-51m and m18 Does the m18x subwoofer not fit in the 2.5" bay?- 2 replies

Wonder if it's plug n play on m18 hehe

I technically spliced the wiring from the factory sub. I ran extra wiring to the new sub. I did disconnect the old sub at the time to give the new sub full power. My post was on the notebookreview forum and it got taken down so I will have to find it in the archive.

ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
My PTM7950 is delayed until Monday...I still have some left over but it might only cover 1 component. May have to use the PTM7958 paste on gpu and ptm7950 pad on cpu... I'm going to try this today. You will get a whole youtube video uploaded hopefully by tomorrow if I don't kill the laptop LOL -
I added a bigger subwoofer in the 3.5" bay in addition to stock. But later on got rid of it.

I will try ptm7950 this Saturday and see if it fixes the core differential issue and allows my CPU to not hit 100c. The m18 screen definitely feels bigger than area-51m, especially thanks to the 16:10 aspect ratio and higher resolution. I like the m18 screen personally. The colors are good, the screen calibration is quite good out of the box. Brightness is fine for me (mine is ~304 nits). Watching 16:9 content feels a bit better on M18x because of the 16:9 resolution (you get black bars on m18 due to 16:10 ratio) but the m18 feels good for overall usage. The GPU limit of 87c is main gpu temp not hot spot. I've never seen the GPU even hit 80c in any workload so should be fine either way I added a subwoofer to my m18xr2 a long time ago from GT72 laptop. It worked fine and I am thinking of looking around to see if any subwoofer would fit inside m18 (mainly where those two 2230 m.2 slots are)

Damn none of y'all took any pics of the disassembly process? lol What did you use to disassemble, is the service manual available? I'm getting a 2nd batch of ptm7950 phase change pads so I will open mine up Saturday EDIT: Looked at the service manual. Looks like the motherboard comes out without having to remove palm rest/display assembly. Shouldn't be too bad then -
M17x R4 - 5 beeps with any graphics card
ssj92 replied to deadsmiley's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
Has to do with BIOS whitelist. Only 460M, 560M and 580M are approved in BIOS to use 3D mode. Otherwise my 880M would work too. 675M works in 3D mode but only in M17xR4 due to same BIOS whitelist. I guess no one ever figured out a way to bypass it.
