Precision M6800 questions and upgrades
sliderfra replied to Jers6410's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
hi, Pascal quadros are the best if you have EDP screen on your m6800. If you have LVDS (optimus), you may try RTX 3000 from ADLINK that works nicely. That one is standard mxm layout. -
Hi, Clevo card won't post, as it needs additional voltage that is not in the standard MXM. You will burn the card if you don't mod the mxm connector, and most probably your mxm slot as well. @Khenglish did a mod a few years ago on his Clevo P150 IIRC, but that was quite complicated to do... It was well documented on NBR back in the days, and can possibly be recovered on the archives: https://www.nbrchive.net/

it's panel Backlight PWM, should PWM is used on the LCD (quite seldom, unless it's OLED display)
-
As you'll be cuffed with 2 RAM sticks DDR3, there's no point. Rather go for 4930mx & 32GB RAM. Igpu is not needed anyway on that kind of laptop.

It's genuine MXM so 3.3V is mandatory, but you have it on the last pins. As you can see on adlink AD5000 mxm, many pins are N/A (non applicable so non wired). There are 4 DP lines but absolutely NO edp wired. Most probably your RTX4k series are non wired either. Turing & Ampere mxm cards don't have EDP wired either... That's why standard MXM RTX 3000 has to use OPTIMUS, whereas HP RTX can bring signal to edp screen. If you look at the Intel Xe mxm pinout, you may see LVDS crossed (so most probably N/A) and EDP_D pins. EGX-MXM-ADA_Series_50M_7C008_1000_10.pdf

Good job. Best is to use nvcleanstall which does clean inf mod with all customs options that you need (telemetry, trackers off, optimus...). It's pretty straightforward
-
hi, it's probably doable, but you'd have to use dual GPU mode (Master GPU to drive internal display and Slave GPU RTX 4000 for 3D app via passthrough on internal screen, and direct output on external screen via HDMI / DP).
-
you should flash dell vbios for m4000m, as it will enable PEG mode that does not work with HP vbios
-
Hi, ask @SuperMG3 He bought the card and tried it already.
-
hi, my rx480 is not detected in my AW17 R1 either, but works in m17x R4 though. Figures...

alienware m18x r2 motherboard quick fix boardview file
sliderfra replied to Maro97's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Thanks a lot mate! By any chance do you have the same for the AW 18 (Viking)? -
not 100% sure about resistor mod though. I've got a 3060m in my AW18 and TDP is around 55W (instead of 80W) but performance is still pretty good. RTX3k on the other hand, has very low performance with 40W TDP as only memory throttles (core frq is unchanged)
-
yes
-
My bad, in your Clevo p570wm3 🙂
-
@SuperMG3 already gave it a shot and ordered 4070 RTX. He's gonna test it in his M18X R2 and let us know Can't wait 😃

Quadro P3000 & P4000 unlocked/OC vbios
sliderfra replied to TheQuentincc's topic in Components & Upgrades
The two p3000 modded bios don’t work on m17x r4 with edp 120hz screen. Got 8 beeps. 86.04.70.00.1B works nicely. But no overclocking possible -
Ensuring compatibility for display panel upgrade
sliderfra replied to igcfck's topic in Components & Upgrades
Hi, it should work flawlessly. As long as it's same type (EDP and same number of lanes & pinout), no worries. Go for it -
Ray Tracing on M18xR2 - RTX 3000 MXM Upgrade!
sliderfra replied to ssj92's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Hi. Do you still suffer from low TDP on the RTX in PEG mode or did you find a workaround? -
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)

GTX1070 MXM MOD FOR ALIENWARE 18
sliderfra replied to Sebastian Ramirez's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
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.

alienware m17 x r4 gpu upgrade from gtx 675m to gtx 1070
sliderfra replied to frank99's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
how did you bypass the batt check? IIRC one of the unlocked bios has default settings to SG. Which one did you install?
