    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.
  16. sliderfra
    well that's weird... Gotta be some LVDS converter of some sort. Did you try another LVDS ribbon? Chances are low but could be that also...
  17. sliderfra
    with edp screen there's no way to trick the bios, IGP is purely deactivated.
  18. sliderfra
    did you try with only one mxm card and in SG mode (optimus with intel HD)? Could be the converter chip sending signal from mxm to LVDS in PEG mode. If it works in SG mode, it's most probably this and AW will still be usable in SG mode with MXM card.
  19. sliderfra
    hi, could be the lvds cable. If it's not, try to remove SLAVE mxm card and test it. If problem remains, try the SLAVE mxm in MASTER slot. You should then be able to pinpoint the failure on one card.

    so it seems that the upgrade is not possible. I am definitely not surprised as it's SOP that "greedy" DELL does not want us to upgrade between generations. Last example was Area 51m R1 & R2... Now that MXM is gone, we are definitely stuck with BGA laptops

    fortnite should be playable in dx12 mode, I think you need to tweak options a bit. With good tweaks, it almost as fast as "performance" but image is crisper. For RAM tweaking, it's hard to get more than 1600Mhz (JEDEC timing) without using XMP in BIOS (need unlock bios), but with a potential risk of crash I've never used AX210 on old spec AW can't help you

    hi, it seems your bios has gone bad. You may need to reflash main bios with a good dump with help of ch341A
  23. sliderfra
    hi, As 7550 and 7560 motherboards are strictly identical in shape. Did anyone wonder if RTX Ampere DGFF cards are compatible with 7550?
  24. sliderfra
    Great job! That Clevo is awesome but that specific motherboard is prone to trouble (thermals go nuts and you get loud beeps until shutdown)
  25. sliderfra
    Very good job. I think of doing the same kind of stuff but I'm trying to keep the SATA at the same time 🙂 Maxwell & pascal also do need to cool VRMs, especially 980m's that are weak.
