  1. Unfortunately there's no gaming laptop that doesn't require some sort of tweaking for proper performance, not even Clevo. Yeah for now we are working on unlocking options in bios. We got UV working. XMP is next and hopefully hidden menus. 10c core difference ain't getting fixed with UV. Will need phase change pad for that.
  2. It's not about getting a "better unit" I can even tune my friends m18 and get similar results. I even found a way to unlock UV in bios so prepare for even better numbers. This is where the difference between an enthusiast will start to show 😃
  3. 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.
  4. Better than the $235 I paid last year for mine. W10 works fine for me all drivers
  5. Cost is $559. This is currently the fastest card for M18xR2 working
  6. 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.
  7. https://www.3dmark.com/search?_ga=2.116626374.1917153527.1679628994-506424329.1679419144#advanced?test=fs P&cpuId=3060&gpuId=1545&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock= 5th place and I’m stock lol
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Wonder if they have eDP support
  11. 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
  12. I need that ada 4000 in mxm format 😄
  13. 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?
  14. Some quick runs on my friends m18. Still waiting for mine: [last run before he left: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/36889484 ]
  15. Got to play with my friends m18 for a bit:
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. Run 3dmark firestrike. 4810MQ can be OC using throttlestop to like 3.9ghz or something I think
  19. 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.
  20. @Rengsey R. H. Jr.has g18 right now and ordered m18. he’s returning g18 if that’s any indication 😉
  21. Hmm did you use the 15% off coupon? mine was $3264 out the door for: i9 13900HX 32GB RAM RTX 4090 1TB SSD QHD 165Hz cherryMX keyboard Go here and enter email. You’ll get a code within 12-48 hrs. https://www.dell.com/preferences/signup/?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&ref=cpcl_us-en-bsd-04-fcca82af-9bb0-4ca0-a440-2bbb2a2cf418-dell-coupon-codes-saving-1-new_cta_link_signmeup
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. I have one of those. Works fine, don’t know if it works with super high capacity ssds though.
  25. 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.
