  1. My old p4000 was 100 watt ( oc bios ) and never throttled . So hmmm unless Pascal isn't the cards that drop to 55watt
  2. So I can try to test my Alienware shipped with dual 970s in sli . Only issue is money . Lol 😂 but my Alienware is the newer revision
  3. That's true . Sadly though with the 18 not having edp and relies on a mux having faster igpu helps with general os gui elements . Had a Alienware 17 r2 with the 4980hq . The one with all the msata slots instead of the MXM shd it felt snappier then my old ranger with 4930 mx or my 18 at 4.3 . That's just me though . I'm still curious how hard it would be to get the mutant version working or above 4g decoding working on these
  4. I have about the same . I've seen comparations with the 4989hw and ryzen 4500 check it out on YouTube it's crazy hue that l4 cache boosts things .
  5. Hmm interesting to know . Still though it be basically a max q then lol
  6. The 4980hq has better ipc do to the 128mb l4 cache the igpu is also as fast as a gt 740 . So at least for the os elements it will feel smoother and more responsive . The only thing is if you plan to use more then two ram slots I think you need to have single rank dimms similar to the QTJ1 on the clevo p870
  7. The only thing is it won't allow ocing even with unlocked CPU . Where as one version I had fir win 7 did support it
  8. I know this is kind of old but I'm looking at the 3060 12gb . Fur the Alienware 18 r1 viking. So that card *should work * ? Without to much fuss aside from unlocked bios to enable SG mode ? Also if you want more power for your GPU then you need to resister mod your Alienware 18 . However the 330 watt psu is the ultimate bottleneck the GPU will happily pull as much power as it needs but it will drop power do to the psu and also drain battery . So limit games to 60 fps if you can
  9. It has to do with his the system can't read the temp sensors . Since haswrll systems and above . (Clevo p870) Support MXM upgrades both them require detecting temp sensor . There ... Might be a way to bypass it but I haven't figured it out . I've tried a 480 with modded bios . Modded vbios . Nothing worked . The 480 is now in an old iMac 2011
  10. I plan on doing this with my Alienware 18 r1 viking . I don't think I need duet but if so I can make a tiny partition on an msata drive for it while still having 99 percent of the drives capacity available to use .
  11. It might not but .... You can by a thin copper on online that replaced it . Should be sufficient as your only getting gen 3 speeds so it won't stress the controller much .
  12. it took a lot of tweaking and im still not done i now have the ram at 3200 as i got single rank dimms and now its nice .
  13. Now I will add is it could be your cpus Imc that is having issues with the faster ram . I can say the 4700mq throws fits with anything above 1866 but the 4930 4940 should be able to take up to even 2400 with little issue unless the CPU was cooked to death and degraded
  14. My Alienware 18 let's me mess with it's bios fine . I usually go in and enable the overrides for long duration power and short and then set to 1024 on both which pretty much is unlimited lol my 4930mx is at 4.2ghz 1 240 volts . Ahd yes the aw18 can use up to 2133 ddr3l ram . 1866 works just fine to . I've ran both in mine but sadly one of my hyper x sticks farted out so now I'm at 1600 cl7 . I am going to go back to 2133 MHz as there is a noticable difference. Another thing I'd want to try is the 4980hq the chip with iris igpu and 128mb l4
  15. Cool looking forward to your findings 🙂
  16. Ahh so how did you address the height difference ?
  17. I am going to do the tm1 heatsink mod to aid in cooling as this chip is spicy . At full 4.8 ghz with 5.3 single core turbo .
  18. The ones without ihs are usually the weaker ones . The ones that have the caps on the bottom tend to have better memory controllers . They are also picky in ram . Dual rank dimms are hit and miss . Mine is running. 40gb at 3000 MHz ram . Once I went to single rank dimms . ( Yes you lose like 3 percent performance going from dual rank to single rank dimms but ) You won't notice it . Furthermore as long as you are in dual channel you are fine . Also to others, having all 4 rams slots filled will make it harder to get faster speeds . These chips usually work with 2 ram slots . So there is that . If I take out two sticks are drop to 16gb I can hit 3200 but 16gb isn't enough for gaming these days really .
  19. Weird I've seen people in other threads state the 3060m supports lvds . As well as some 6600xts and 6850xts . The 6850 can be pulled from the weird external GPU for the rog ally . But if that's incorrect then shucks . One thing I'd find interesting would be to use one of the pin soldered 4980hqs . Sure you'd be limited to 2 slots for ram * I think * but the iris graphics would be miles ahead of the hd 4600 plus the 128mb cache is great . There are benchmarks online showing the performance . At any rate I'm going to order a 3060m or 6600xt soon . Probably 3060 do to vram
  20. This . When I had a m5000 I had to flash the Dell bios
  21. What I find funny is apparently the rtx 3060m MXM and Rx 6600xt 6850xt support lvds
  22. I know this is old but most aw 18 lcds can oc to 95 to 100 Hz so I'm betting the cable is fine Btw I know this post is pretty old but j figured I'd chime in since I have an Alienware 18 r1 viking
  23. The guy I got the clevo from bought it from eBay . The seller had a bunch of these cards . Used for AI. In weird mother boards with built in MXM slots . Some even had 4 slots . They then offloaded all the gpus and sold them on eBay as 3080s . Some of the cards are 3080ti mobile versions . So they perform on par with a full 3080 . The 200 watt power draw is tough on most laptops but these clevos do ok as long as you have the vapor chamber .they are designed to be install into rack most systems . The card has 16gb vram . And just works . There is a clevo bios on it to funny enough so hmmmm .
  24. Mine is happy with 2933 . 4.8 ghz all core and 2 core 5 ghz .
