    Try a trial version (if they still offer one) of PowerDVD and see if that helps. Might be drive going out but you can try one of those cleaning discs

    All of us are running this BIOS here: It is the last update for M18xR2. Make sure in BIOS you are set to SG mode. Make sure UEFI is enabled. (You may want to try booting with a usb install of windows and turn off legacy option rom to see if you can install onto an NVMe.) Drives I have personally tested on that same adapter: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB SK Hynix Gold P31 1TB I definitely recommend trying a gpu in the 2nd slot to make sure it works. BTW, SATA M.2 drives do not work. It has to be a true NVMe M.2 drive not SATA.

    https://www.clevo.com.tw/product/product_content/1/30 @razor0601 my brand new Area-51m with i9-9900K & RTX 2080 was $3840, but I got a decent discount with my 4-year complete care warranty. I expect high end to be around $4k.

    We will probably get 64GB SODIMMs like how we got higher capacity DDR3 and DDR4 modules later on. Who knows, maybe the spec sheet is wrong on the dimm slots too like how it was for the webcam lol

    I tried auto timings 1.35v 2800, 2933, 3200 and also tried 22-22-22 timings 2933, 3200 , none boot. So far I am at 2666. stock 8gb 3200mhz ram: 32gb (2x16gb) ddr4 2400 stock 2666mhz auto timings 2666mhz my timings

    It will be 13980HX trust me 😉 it will have both, webcam is also 1080p apparently according to alienware.

    Ok will do. Was hoping Prema bios had some key combo to make it easy. Do you think it didnt boot because it needed more voltage? I assume normally auto timings should work fine as long as voltage is fine EDIT: Increased voltage and 2933mhz still doesn’t boot. Perhaps this 2400mhz kit just can’t reach that high.

    2666Mhz auto timing worked but when I tried 2933mhz auto timing it’s not booting. is there a hardware key combo to reset bios while booting or how does one reset it on this laptop? i wanted to push it as far as it can go on stock 1.2v with ok timings.
  9. ssj92
    What about the timings? Do I put everything to 0 (auto) and only change the frequency and voltage? I see a option for 100mhz or 133mhz and then there is a multiplier. I assume 133mhz with a 18x multi is 2400mhz?

    Unfortunately because we rely on iGPU we are limited to mDP 1.1 which cannot do 4k @ 60hz. It should be able to do 4k @ 30hz

    Thanks, fixed typo. I am going Intel/nVidia personally. AMD won't have a competitor to RTX 4090 laptop, maybe 4080. Also I did some math and from my calculations, the i9 13980HX should beat out AMD'd 16c 7945HX cpu. If you are looking for portability, I may suggest the Alienware X16 instead. It should still provide most of the performance but in a thinner/lighter form factor. it is limited to 14 cores though (13900HK) so if you need all 24 cores, you will want a m16 or m18. m16 should provide most of the performance of m18.

    Now back in BGA form unfortunately. This is probably going to be the best laptop at CES it's looking like, especially with Clevo's all bga X370. I will be buying one and reviewing it. For now, enjoy the documents below. it will have: Intel Core i9 13980HX (highest spec) 2xDDR5 So-DIMM Slots (Official support is 64GB, but if we get 64GB DIMMs it may change) 4x NVMe PCIe M.2 slots (Don't see why one couldn't do 4x 8TB NVMe SSDs instead of their 9TB claim) RTX 4090 Laptop (150w + 25w Dynamic boost, has a 2040Mhz boost clock) 18" 2560x1600 165Hz or 18" 1920x1200 480hz display with 100% DCI-P3 Color Space 330w AC Adapter (uses same one we've used for the last decade with the option of the new SLIM version) 97Whr Battery (I am glad it's high capacity) Full vapor chamber cooling on CPU & GPU My biggest concern will be sound quality. X16 is advertised with 6 speaker sound system but m18 doesn't have any mention of sound quality. You can access the full press kit with more pics and full size documents here: Alienware Revamps its Iconic Laptop Armada at CES 2023 (alienwarearena.com) UPDATE:

    Click download driver and install this. Download selected Realtek drivers v10.0.16299.28163 for RTS5209 and Windows 10 64bit
  14. ssj92
    Yep, unfortunately. I have returned it and will be going bga as I have no other choice for now. If someone else figures it out or some other mxm variant comes along things may change but for now, RTX 5000 is the best that works in laptops.

    I got SK Hynix 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2400T RAM for my X170SM-G. How can I OC this to 2666Mhz? After that I'll try 2800mhz then 3000mhz.
  16. ssj92
    You can try but I heard Optimus was an issue. Follow my video, it's probably the same method. If it's a different method I'd be interested too.

    Here's some info on X370: https://www.clevo.com.tw/product/product_content/1/30

    If I can make my Titan V do SLI, you can make your RTX 2080 do SLI:

    We don't know what speed GDDR6 they are using yet but I would hope it's faster than last gen.
  20. ssj92
    Yes 175w with the 25w dynamic boost bs.
  21. ssj92
    175w will be max and match 3090Ti levels on high end systems
  22. ssj92
    Yes use UEFI. MUX should be muxless dynamic scheme I believe. You can leave it on whatever the default one is first and see.
  23. ssj92
    Kepler still gets updates on desktop. I mod inf to allow my mobile kepler gpus to have latest drivers
  24. ssj92
    For now skip the 330w ac adapter. They are normally needed when you have dual GPUs. P4000 should work with 240w ac adapter. You will need to mod INF file to install driver. I have a video here: [I am working on a video of the easier way of doing this but probably will be in 1-2 weeks] Here's P4000 in my M18xR2: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/25466379

    Don't mind me, I am just warming up some old hardware https://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/5931311 https://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/5931375 Oh look I'm faster than a office laptop lol https://www.3dmark.com/fs/29140025
