    Added M17xR2 A10 V1F unlocked bios. I don't think M15x unlocked bios adds anything useful but if someone wants to attach it, I can re-upload it to google drive and add to first post.

    Unfortunately I cannot find a HP A4500 vBIOS. There is one on TPU but it's actually a A5000 vBIOS which I did flash but still had error 43. I'm back on Dell vBIOS. I am not sure if a modded vBIOS works for these Quadros as they require signed vBIOS, but if the edit is minor, even a copy/paste a portion of dell vBIOS then it may work. If we can figure out what is different in dell vBIOS allowing it to post, that may be the only thing needed to change. If the change requires a re-signed vBIOS, I can ask Aetina to do the mod (assuming they are willing to) if I am specific enough on the change. I did unplug the internal display and hook up external but because I am in SG mode (Optimus) the iGPU was still showing up as well. I think I need to change to PEG (PCI Express Graphics) only but am worried I'll have no video output then I'll be stuck. Something was changed in vBIOS because RTX 3000 (previous gen Quadro) works fine

    As far as we know, nothing in software. If you get it working with hardware mod please do a write up as that would be very useful for many of us.

    Ok guys I am in need of help. I will make this as short as I can but here goes... A4500 MXM originally did NOT post in M18xR2 OR AW18 (6 beeps) in SG (Optimus) mode!! I found a Dell Precision A4500 vBIOS and the card now is posting and recognized in AW 18 in BIOS & Windows. M18xR2 POSTS now but does NOT see the card in BIOS OR Windows! Here's the worse part, upon installing drivers, I am getting Code 43 error. I tried modifying multiple INFs in drivers but they all give me code 43. I either need someone who knows someone with a HP machine with A4500 for HP vBIOS OR someone who can take a look at the stock vBIOS and compare to Dell vBIOS to see why it's not posting. I even got a custom heatsink made for this card lol @Prema @johnksss @Mr. Fox @Reciever @Meaker Does anyone know anyone who can help? I'm so close and it would suck if this is the end for A4500 upgrade. A4500_vBIOS.zip

    Link to A380?? I may want this...wonder if it'll work in M4800 hehe

    Going to need a new thread soon. Heatsink tracking for A4500 says it was delivered today...should see it in 2 hours. Might just have to install A4500 this weekend. Also got a Alienware 17 coming that will inherit the RTX 3000 from this thread.

    The R2 supports Alienware Graphics Amplifier, which is probably the best way to use eGPU for that system. However, I've had RX 6800, Titan V, RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3070, and RTX 3090 working in eGPU on my Alienware Area-51m R1 using Alienware Graphics Amplifier. I've also ran 1080Ti/RTX 3070 using Razer Core X. Maybe the eGPU enclosure you're using doesn't play well with the R2. Or might need to reinstall drivers using DDU

    There's no link. The guy selling all the older alienwares on eBay with upgraded graphics told me. He has M17xR3 for sale with RX 560 as well.

They were all brand new GPUs from Eurocom so idk if they'relater builds but yeah. That's gp106

    That's what I figured. Was just curious since I did have Windows Server Licenses and my SR-2 build is perfect for Server (dual CPUs, lots of RAM, Titan V gpu, etc.). It was all more for fun and to try server/active directory out. I guess I could set-up server for fun and have a secondary profile on all the computers just to play around with active directory but realistically it's best for me to just keep them separate and transfer files if needed using my samba desktop.

    Someone told me they got Tesla P6 working in M17xR3 in Optimus Mode so should work
  12. ssj92
    Yes they do lack a vBIOS chip. You would have to buy a vBIOS chip then flash it with a programmer. There have been a few for sale where sellers claim they added vBIOS chip and flashed it. Those HP cards also have a offset die so heatsink will probably need to be modded.
  13. ssj92
    Do you have any firestrike or time spy results? Curious to see how 1070 is performing in this machine. If you really got it working on R1 (not AW 18 not M18xR1 then you will need to use something like duet to boot from that NVMe adapter) 880M SLI M290X CrossFire Apparently GP106 card (the ones on ebay called GP106, not a gtx 1060 etc.) work (someone else tested it) Maxwell tesla M6 also works apparently? I personally run 880M SLI in my M18xR1. I am curious if the user above truly got 1070 working in M18xR1 or if they have Alienware 18 R1 and are confusing with M18xR1, because no one else has gotten it working before. Would be awesome if it works and if it does they could make a guide.

    I probably should have done a better job explaining. So I don't need a file sharing option because I already use SAMBA on my desktop and can access it anywhere using my own VPN. What I was looking for is a way to set-up a desktop, then using multiple laptops to connect to the desktop. If I download a file on laptop A, I want to log into laptop B and have the file already there. If I install a APP on laptop A, I want it to be available or auto install on laptop B when I log in. Is there something available that can do this?
  15. ssj92
    No they changed the design a bit so it won’t work with the heatsink. Might work if you mod heatsink

    One issue with having 7 laptops is keeping data, programs, etc. sync across from them. Before anyone mentions any cloud based storage, I'd rather not. This is more for fun but if it works out that'd be even better. I have a few Server licenses (2016 standard, datacenter, 2019 essentials, standard, datacenter, and 2022 standard and datacenter). Right now I have my main Alienware Aurora R4 desktop (i9 10980XE build in my sig) running 24/7. It is running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations and I have a Storage Space of 2x 8TB HDDs as a Samba Share to the whole house. I only keep media and software installs mostly on these drives. My SR-2 Build (2x Xeon X5675) is currently sitting in the room not in use. I could install Server on it and do active directory. I just wonder if I use the same account across my laptops, would my profile be synced? Just trying to see ways to make this work. Again, it's not a huge deal but could be a fun project. I am also limited to 1gbps network right now so transfers aren't super fast. Also have two Macs in the house so that's why I've been doing a SMB share.

    Custom heatsink in progress... can't wait to get it installed.
  18. ssj92
    You gonna replace that 2070 super with a 2080 super? 😁
  19. ssj92
    M18xR1 (2xxxQM/XM CPU) or 18 R1 (4XXXMQ/MX CPU) ?
  20. ssj92
    Sneak peak
  21. ssj92
    Windows 7 = better cpu score Windows 8-11 = better gpu score
  22. ssj92
    Yes newest A4500 mxm cards do not support eDP. Need to use Optimus
  23. ssj92
    My M17xR3 isn't as fast as the newer R4 with newer GPUs, but I think it performs decent lol. This is stock of course. I'm running Windows 7, so GPU score is lower compared to Windows 8/8.1/10/11 https://www.3dmark.com/fs/27961774
  24. ssj92
    Someone on eBay bought it with 0 feedback so for now it's sold lol
  25. ssj92
    You can buy the A6000 nvlink bridge which allows having no space between the cards. I though of doing that at one point but it's good to have some space between them for best thermals. It got very hot! The 3090 card was fine since it was a hybrid cooler but the other three got very hot. I have since sold the 3090 and Titan Xp. I did have two Titan V (two slot space between them) in the SR-2 build until yesterday and they ran great. Temps were good. I just sold my 3090Ti so now this build has one Titan V. My main desktop has the other one until I get something else (or not since A4500 MXM drained my wallet lol)
