If you have a 3d capable aw17 r1 running 780m, 880m or any 3d oem gpu, please help me with your acpi dump: https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases/download/20260408/iasl-win-20260408.zip download this zip, extract, run: acpidump.exe -b then zip the folder and upload. Thanks

I sent you dual peg and tesla p6 regedit on whatsapp group chat

Nvidia-vBIOS-Clock-Power-Tweaker - PASCAL TESTING NEEDED !
ssj92 replied to JadeRover's topic in Components & Upgrades
both gp106 same behavior. clock is 1290mhz, memory is 4006mhz tesla p6 allows adjusting slider but clocks stuck at 455mhz core & 405mhz memory -
Yes M2000M or even M1000M. With my bios you can use any GPU that supports LVDS in slot 1. So any OEM gpu or AMD 7970m, 8970m, M3000M-M5000M works too. Whatever is cheapest. Then for slot 2 you can use the fastest GPU you can afford. P5000 is almost as fast as 980M SLI but without the SLI suppport needed. P4000 is also quite fast.

Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
11,500 in eDP? I was getting 11,051 in SG, So 4% less performance. I agree eDP is preferred but not every laptop supports eDP. m18x series is perfect example. But at the same time SG generally has better compatibility for upgrades too. On M17xR3 I can't use RTX 4000 (HP) on eDP but it works SG. Keeping in mind P5000 and all older GPUs work fine. -

tesla p6 rom doesn't work. anyway we can increase tdp to 120w and increase clocks on this one? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oy3rtNQWqr8kEZyxk-mQsZxCrh2kzpki/view?usp=sharing -
for that specific card you should be able to use factory heatsink
-
Hey! Thanks for trying! I don't see the dump files. Open command prompt as admin, cd the directory where the tool is, then type acpidump.exe -b see pic below. if done correctly, you should see a bunch of extra files in the folder
-
P3000, P4000, P5000 all work with the correct vbios RTX 3000/5000 (Adlink/Aetina/PNY) are heatsink friendly. the HP models required a custom heatsink and removing the two stubs on each side of the mxm port. You can use 980M/970M/M3000M, M4000M, M5000M in PEG on M18xR1 with my bios

Right now SG is having issues with maxwell 2 cards (GM204). Literally every other card works. You will need to make sure you have a spi programmer because it's possible to brick the laptop. there is a crisis recovery method as well

DX12 on M17xR3 Finally? Fastest in the Universe! Another MXM Upgrade
ssj92 replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
I always wanted to try it. I think P/N are different for R3 & R4 -
https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases/download/20260408/iasl-win-20260408.zip download this zip, extract, run: acpidump.exe -b then zip the folder and upload. Use SG & do once in PEG if you can. I'm trying to fix SG mode on R3 and it might help me. Thanks
-
No, it's weird. Pascal works (with the "engineering vbios"), turing works, literally everything works except maxwell 2(gm204). My bios mod allows 980M to work in PEG. If some of you guys have maxwell 2 cards I can provide a test bios to see if it fixes PEG on 980M.

Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
In gpu bound situations, the 3080 performs well. look at the gpu score and compare to native 3080 laptops. Honestly, I regret not buying 4090 MXM when it was only $950. now it's $1300 keep in mind it's a 115w card. I'm going to sell the v1 backlight mod cables on ebay that I bought since I cannot use them in my AW. Apparently they work fine in Clevo/MSI. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
it's not even 10-15%. I'm running 3080 in my M18xR2 and it runs fine. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (notebook) video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3920XM Processor Extreme Edition,Alienware M18xR2 2133mhz ram helps and 4.4ghz on cpu will help too -

why not recommended? -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
ssj92 replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
If A5500 works for you in eDP then maybe I will get one. It would be worth testing to see if they support eDP first without backlight cable. Who knows maybe XVSION listened to you? Would also be worth checking if it works in SG mode on M17xR4. Because my A4500 from Aetina didn't even show up at all in M18xR2 regardless of vbios I tested. It only showed up in AW18. Interesting there's still no blackwell cards -
Technically I can make it in 3 days if I wanted to. Thing is, right now PEG is working on 980M & P5000 on my M17xR3 eDP panel, but SG is not working right for maxwell 2. This means 980M SLI will work but for SG there's stlll some issue. On my M18xR1, I ran RTX 5000 in primary slot using SG mode but it's limited to DX11. On dual PEG (M2000M primary + RTX 5000 secondary) it works on stock bios. Right now my bios would only benefit someone wanted to use maxwell 2 (gm204) based GPUs such as 980M, 970M, M5000M, M4000M, M3000M. Other than that it doesn't support any extra cards yet. I need to fix SG mode on my M17xR3 then M18xR1 should be able to run anything.

ssj92 replied to JadeRover's topic in Components & Upgrades
So the P3200 & p4200 bios that was made, the clocks don't go past 139mhz any more. The gp106 you gave me, memory is good, core clocks don't seem to go up anymore than stock -
Actually R1 can do almost everything R2 can do upgrade wise. You can do up to 880M SLI dual cards. R2 can do 980M SLI. With my bios mod R1 can also do 980M SLI. R2 can run RTX 5000 in SG, even 3080. R1 can run RTX 5000 in SG too but due to some issue with drivers it's limited to DX11. If you put a sandy bridge CPU in R2, it has the same exact issue. My goal is to fix R1, M17xR3, M17xR4, AW17 R1 and AW18 bios. Because "back then" only the M18xR2 received a full bios mod. Ironically the AW18 can run more cards than all of them (A4500 didn't work in M18xR2 at all but did in AW18 with code 43). I may have found a solution to that too. The other mod I wanted to do is 16GB DDR3 support. But I can release a v1 with only added PEG support. I actually need testers with m18xR1 and maxwell 2 cards to do testing for me.

I'll be testing p3200, p4200 made by your program & the gp106m lol -

@JadeRover gp106 card doesn't seem to work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MO-UXQ-GLcrlnBZCJ3sgqiiOXfxzizmG/view?usp=sharing -
Yes win11 works. I haven't tested it yet, put covering pwr pin might be the fix. Hoping to test it in a week or two

880M SLI is the fastest "stock bios" setup in PEG. If you don't mind mismatching, you can get around the limit by using something like a M2000M on primary slot then use rtx 3000 in secondary slot. using windows 10 registry mod you can assign 3d programs to use rtx 3000. M2000M can be found quite cheap sometimes so it's a viable option. I am working on a bios mod to fix 980M SLI support but the issue is, if you want to use anything newer, you need to use "SG" (Optimus mode). unless you use my dual gpu workaround. In SG mode, the m18xr1 is limited to dx11 only for some reason, and I haven't solved this yet
