  1. I told you design will be different. design is based on the pro cards. I'd rather have my 4090 than that 5080. I'll see if I can sell some stuff for 5090 later. Would be fun to get working in AW18.
  2. It can work in M18xR2 in SG mode but not PEG. Might need to check heatsink. In M17xR3, do you have 120hz 3D panel or LVDS 60hz panel? Don't know if you saw my new custom bios but I got P5000 & RTX 4000 working in M17xR3 using eDP 3D 120hz panel.
  3. I bought both part numbers of dmc cards along with a antenna for 17 r1. my m14x r2 already has an antenna so I can test both cards
  4. His bios was over 12MB already and it uses a newer Intel ME. It's not "simple" to switch from DP_D to DP_B in the laptop, if it was it would be done already. Again everyone who only thinks in hardware takes software way too lightly. I'm a hardware person myself, but after these last few months working on bios modding, I see how tedious it is just to implement one thing. For me this is low priority for now. Once I have done my other mods I can take a look, but edid being a simple issue, it's not much of an issue to me. I'm going to make a simple windows program that autofixes and autodetects this in the future, but that's after I get my 4090 heatsink and swap the eDP panel for my 17 R1.
  5. Janepa said that on M18xR2 and it requires heavy bios modding and a new bios chip to support a larger bios. I haven't looked into that myself yet but it's something I can look in the future. It's much easier to make a small app for windows that fixes the edid issue if the bios and everything works fine (only windows issue)
  6. That's very interesting, so the laptops themselves don't even care about eDP on A, C, D. I will need to look into the vBIOS more now with this data. If you can get their 5080/5090 vbios send to me so I can check it as well. This is all a windows issue with nvidia driver.
  7. Try a old driver like 425.xx first and see if that works. If not, you can try a dell vbios on the card (backup old bios)
  8. What about 4080/4090 on AW? It also show bios screen with eDP cable then windows black screens?
  9. Have you tested this on AW systems? I don't have any non AW to test atm but having this knowledge will help basiclaly, A, C, D will show bios screen but not work in windows with edid override
  10. I forgot to ask, so since the DP is on A or B, do you see any bios screens on the 4090/4080?
  11. I added DCB support from Fermi to Blackwell. Release v1.24 Fermi to Blackwell DCB Support · ssj92/Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker-w-DCB I think @SuperMG will use this feature a lot.
  12. Just checked 2 5090 & 3 5080 vBIOS. 2x 5080 = DP_B 1x 5080 = DP_A 1x 5090 = DP_A 1x 5090 = DP_B So none have DP_D. I'd be surprised there's any 5090/5080 with DP_D eDP since 4090/4080 doesn't have any
  13. It means as long as I order the correct antenna board and cable, the wihd card should also work in M17xR3 then. Someone told me the DMC cards are limited to iGPU but if it's wired through MUX it should work with dGPU. I'm still trying to figure out all the parts. hard to find proper info and a place where I can get all the parts in US
  14. I still don't understand if there's literally several different models with several different antennas or just 2 models and 2 antennas. For sure M14x uses a different antenna. Then there's the SIL-SK63100 vs SK9210-HS models. M14x for sure uses SK9210-HS model but I am not sure what m18xR1, m17xr3, aw17, aw18, m18xr2 use. If they all use the same SIL-SK63100 model then what about antennas? i found a m17xr4 antenna but no idea if it's the same for m17xr3. I also ordered the vizio receiver/transmitter pack on eBay but now need to figure out the DMC port cards. the part numbers I have for m17xr3 are different from the ones for the other models I found online but some listings show aw14/17/18/m18x/m17x all together
  15. I was doing some research, it seems the SK9210-HS model is specific to the OG M14x. The SIL-SK63100 seems to be newer and has fcc listing for AW14/17/18 & M14x/M17x/M18x series. It's possible you have the older card?
  16. Don’t worry about the color. You can buy the lcd lid by itself for like $20 on eBay/AliExpress brand new. See if you can find any right now. 120 isn’t too bad if it’s the complete assembly. You can try making an offer for 100. the 3D 120Hz panel on the R3, R4, 17 is actually a good display. Good colors, viewing angles are best on 17 due to anti glare panel, but still, the 1600x900 panel is trash. During my testing of 500+ bios files, switching back and forth between lvds and eDP made me realize how much better the 120 panel is
  17. My AW17 had a 60hz panel so I bought another one with 120hz panel. My plan is to swap the display since my 17 already has new palm rest keyboard motherboard etc. my M17xR3 was also a 60hz model. For that one I was lucky enough to find someone selling the whole assembly. I kept the LVDS panel which was a good thing because it allowed me to make those BIOS files. I’ll probably hang on to both 17s until I do my 17 bios mod too.
  18. I bought a AW17 with 3D panel to swap its 3d panel and resell it with my lvds panel. might be easier for you to do that too.
  19. With m2000m as primary you can run dx12 and even ray tracing on rtx 3000 on slot 2. dx11 issue is only running in SG (Optimus) mode
  20. If it's a sata3 drive it will run in sata3 mode. You need a sata2 drive. I will see how to make the bios mod.
  21. Okay that reminded me. M17xR3 originally shipped with SATA3 support. THEN dell decided to limit it to SATA2 due to one of the slots having issues with SATA3 drives. My BIOS (same as unlocked ones) retain SATA3 support. I believe it was a sandy bridge issue with very early chipsets, that's why M18x doesn't have that issue. SO SATA3 drive will only work properly in one of the 2 slots. SATA2 drives work fine in either slot. Maybe I will look into adding a setting to limit to SATA2 in bios for the future.
  22. 24x multiplier gets you roughly 3.2Ghz and is quite easy to acheive. I can do up to 27x on one of my 920XM, other one can do 26x. 24-25x is the "sweet spot" for temps and power consumption
  23. Try restoring defaults in bios and see if that helps.
