    Dreaded 7 beeps are mostly pch / chipset failure. Usually BIOS corruption is 1 beep and can be resolved by blind flash (or ch341).

    hi, I got an LCD lid for M6700. It's the covet edition (RED color) if you are interested. I live in FRANCE but I can send in EU.

    s7100x does not have native LVDS/EDP outputs. But it works OK on R4 / R5. But on R3 you end up with blank screen and no POST. It's great news that wx7100 works. It's actually the fastest card available working with the venerable R3 🙂 Not sure about rx 6600 though. Someone tested it here and did not work on any alienware (was from xvision IIRC)

    unfortunately you never know with GPU. Especially with lower quality chinese boards. MSI mxm (1060 / 1070) are much better (better power rails & many more VRMs) but if you cool the card nicely (RAM & VRM are prevailing) and don't overvolt (or increase TDP) it should last long With PASCAL cards, you can edit frequency/voltage curve with MSI Afterburner: you can reduce voltage to 0.85V and push 1800Mhz easily on Core. That way card stays super cool (<60° on full load) and lasts longer in the end.

    Hi, M14x pushes 5x more airflow than 17 CPU fan, so it's definitely a huge improvement over it. Old AW are a bit temperamental with RAM above 1600Mhz. Some 1866/2133Mhz RAM work, some others don't. Even from one R4 motherboard to another, there's a difference. Better stick with 1600Mhz and put 32GB.

    how did you bypass the batt check? IIRC one of the unlocked bios has default settings to SG. Which one did you install?

    INCREDIBLE!!! I tested an RX480m 4GB a few years ago and it did not work at all (black screen). I also tested s7100x and black screen, again. I assumed that radeon did not work passed 7970m Good job! BTW where did you get the overclocked vbios for wx7100?

    Wayyy too expensive mate! You can get a full blow gaming laptop with 4070 rtx for that price...

    m18x r2 is better than 18 viking... Motherboard has better voltage rails and lasts longer, MXM port also takes more power. Heatsink are the same between the 2, only CPU one is much better on 18 as it has vacuum chamber

    hi, that's the plan yes! You don't necessarily need the AMD 100W. Nvidia HS will do just fine as the gecube 1070 has "low" TDP. Thermal pads are mandatory on RAM & VRMs. Be sure that proper contact is made with heatsink as VRM heat up A LOT! If you do everything by the books and don't overclock TDP (do not use MSI 150W vbios on this card, it will burn quickly), you should be ok for a few years.

    put a 4930mx in it, with the vacuum chamber it should overclock nicely
  12. sliderfra
    just a theory but IIRC there's an option in drivers to emulate SLI (or hybrid SLI as the cards are very different). Maybe this could solve the TDP issue.
  13. sliderfra
    you need a .bat file to flash it IIRC Dell bios won't install if you have a dead battery

    Hi, RTX 3000 6GB definitely works in the R4.
  15. sliderfra
    hi, Most probably won't work unless you have optimus laptop. Problem is neither p870 nor x170sm do.
