    Good luck. First step will be to flash and see if it boots LOL. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nK4y6axXIB-VZp-b7p7mIIkG_v1-RgBA/view?usp=sharing if it boots, chances are it worked. BUT..after flashing, go to BIOS, make sure legacy rom is completely disabled (no csm mode). Boot to windows and download ReBarstate: https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/releases/download/0.3/ReBarState.exe Type 8 and press enter. Reboot and relaunch rebarstate to see what it says, also check GPU-Z. Since you have rtx 5000 series it should at least recognize if rebar is on in bios or not. If everything boots after typing 8 in rebarstate and rebooting, it technically should be working with 256MB bar size. After that we can try 32 value. The problem is, this bios does have not above 4g decoding option, so we are trying to make it work without it. You can always reset to normal by resetting cmos. I do have one other thing we can try to enable above 4g but first let's test this bios. ALSO NOTE TO ANYONE ELSE: This BIOS was made ysing @janepa BIOS dump. Please do not flash to your own M18x. I can make one for the general once we can figure out if this even works. As long as you have a programmer yes

    Area-51m R1 2080 runs at 200w naturally from the factory. It's DGFF not MXM 😉 THIS is why your card probably is performing like that. 3080 at 115w ain't keeping up with a 200w 2080. You need a 150w vBIOS probably or even 130w would help. What was max temps and what are you cooling it with? You also want to OC your CPU. if it's an XM then at least 4.4Ghz. If it's 3840QM > 4.1Ghz 3820QM > 4.0Ghz 3740QM > 3.8 or 3.9Ghz (forgot how high it can go) etc.

    try fire strike as well. Score seems low? But I am more familiar with fire strike scores. I haven't benched my 3080 yet because I need a custom heatsink After looking at my Area-51 R1 TS result, I guess it's not too bad.

    I dont really game or anything so technically, I could just get nothing LOL But no fun in that. I may try to get another RTX Titan to do SLI if I can get one for cheap. RTX 4090 FE would be nice if prices come down after 5090/5080 release too.
  5. ssj92
    If anyone can get a extra 5090 FE or 5080 FE I'd love one LOL 😅

    Is this GPU-Z screenshot in M17xR4 or desktop? If you want to send me your current unlocked BIOS, I can try adding at least resizable bar support and you can test to see if it works. But you need to make sure you have a programmer and can backup your current bios in case flash doesn't work. If it works, I plan to make M17xR4, M18xR2, AW 18 and AW 17 rebar BIOS

    I think vBIOS with 4g decoding is only reason some Ada GPUs and even A4500 Amphere didn't work in M18xR2. It would be quite difficult to implement, but we could at least add ReBar support and see if it helps.
  8. ssj92
    Okay then it should also work in M18xR2.

    Interersting...eDP or LVDS mode?
  10. ssj92
    I use Marcium reflect free edition to clone drives. Maybe try formatting it and try again. I am using a 870 Evo in a M14xR1 so it should work. Is the drive recognized if you boot from a windows install usb?

    rtx 3000 has bsods on m6600 regardless of vbios once driver is installed. Don't know if I wanna open up the m6800 and try. gtx 1080 gets stuck at windows logo
  12. ssj92
    How do you guys end up with FE cards? Last few launches, they were sold out before I even had a chance to buy
  13. ssj92
    Okay it was LVDS. I tried the RTX 3000 but Optimus no longer shows up in BIOS. Also it gets stuck at a black screen after the invalid system configuration error. I don't think these RTX 3000 from Adlink are as friendly with vBIOS but I guess I could try flashing a different vBIOS? Does this mean it won't work in M6800 either since the Optimus option disappears in BIOS in M6600 with RTX 3000? I know on our Alienwares we can force Optimus mode regardless of GPU installed with unlocked BIOS. EDIT: Flashed Dell RTX 3000 vBIOS. Optimus now shows up. Installed windows but after installing nVidia drivers I keep getting system service exception bsod loop. Can boot fine into safe mode.

    Well after removing everything up until the RAM it magically started booting up. I switched the RAM with some other modules I had. Power board cable got ripped during disassembly but now it's working at least
  15. ssj92
    Interesting, when I checked the PN on Parts People I ended up on the E11 version which is eDP. If it's LVDS then I should be able to use RTX 3000 then using Optimus. Once it's up and running I will attempt this. Interesting, I couldn't get my RTX 3000 to work on eDP but I have Adlink you have an HP one I am assuming. Forgot to mention another thing to try....using a driver older than 425.XX such as 419.XX This worked for me on M18xR1 using RTX 5000 with Intel HD 3000
  16. ssj92
    Laptop is non-working for now so I can't check until I disassemble which connector it uses. Service tag is: HJKPBT1 As far as I am aware, RTX 3000 does not support eDP. P4000 should though. Also, is there enough room for a slightly longer card to fit without any mods? 82x113mm
  17. ssj92
    @Nowan @Aaron44126 @TheQuentincc So it seems my M6600 might have a eDP display (N173HGE-E11). Does this mean Optimus is permanently disabled like the newer M6700/M6800? Or is there some weird MUX switching going on? My original plan was to put RTX 3000 in M6600 using Optimus. My M6800 has a LVDS display so I might just put the RTX 3000 in there. If it's eDP and directly connected I wonder if something like P4000 would work in M6600 with eDP display.

    Issue seemed to be the card itself. As my other card works fine. M18xR1 can run same power as R2 as you can see from my 3dmark results above.
  19. ssj92
    Yes but the first step will be to confirm the bios was modded correctly and flashes fine. If so I’m sure more people would be willing to try as well
  20. ssj92
    I can add the ReBar Module to the bios but need someone to test it and be able to flash back their backup bios via programmer is it fails. No clue if it will help booting newer GPUs
  21. ssj92
    I bought a M6600 for parts the seller claimed MB is probably dead. wanted to ask here in case it’s a dumb issue. AC charger doesn’t cause any lights to turn on. Pressing power button does nothing. I checked to make sure ram is installed, cmos battery cpu etc. any other trick I can try before I end up replacing the MB? I have a M6800 coming that has a battery so I’m going to try its battery in here in case the dc port is messed up or something.

    These new designs make the old ones look even better. I mean old ones were good but these new ones are meh. M series was peak for precision lineup.
  23. ssj92
    Interesting, I’ll have to take a look to see if I can find out what is different in vBIOS
  24. ssj92
    I’m waiting for my custom heatsink to be made. Once I get my M18xR1 from repair I’ll test in both R2/R1 with some results. Don’t want to use my a4500 heatsink since it doesn’t fit properly
  25. ssj92
    Have you tried adding ReBar to M18xR2 BIOS? It's a module. If you have a programmer and backup of BIOS I can try making custom BIOS with this. Then you can test newer GPUs in the system. https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI
