I got myself a QTJ1 mutant CPU . Really nice processor . Mine seems very happy to run at 4.8 ghz all core with a 5 ghz single core oc . P870dm3 flashed with daanke 9900ks 128gb me disabled . Only thing is these chip run got so at full load 100 percent in benchmarks mine drops to 4 6 sometimes but still in games it sits at 4.8

my qtj1 hates running under 1.3 ish volts even at stock turbo of 4.6 ghz . that is what mine defaulted to when i installed it on my clevo / if i dropped it to 1/2 ish id get bsods and clock dropping so i just have it set to 1.328 it is at 4.8 all core and 5 ghz 1 core and works fine . these chips run hot . so will delid mine

The QTJ1 has various flavors . The ones with the IHS tend to have better imcs then the bare ones but ... They need to be delidded otherwise they will hit 96 or so c when you hit 4.8 ghz . Realistically that's only when benchmarking but still that's pretty toasty . As far as memory they like single ranked dimms . I had this issue with some 3200 MHz team group modules . My clevo p870tm1 refused to boot with the ram . Wouldn't even downclock them lol so I have 3 8gb ddr4 2666 sticks in and it seems to work fine . Mine hits 5ghz single core and 4.8 all core they are not true comet lake cpus they are an in between . Coffee lake and comet lake . Kinda like xeon cascade lake refreshes This is mine a un tuned quick and dirty oc to see if it falls on its face . But it is pretty snappy also undervolt if you can . They got 1.45 volts

ive read if you get the ones with the IHS that they have a better chance of using faster ram 🙂 but its cool my ram can drop to 2666 if need be . i just need to know if that bios is correct

I'm about to pick up a qtj1 cpu bios is 1.07.16. ec version is 1.06 .01 this is the 9900ks 128gb bios wondering if I need anything else

I know this is an older thread but I'm about to pick up a qtj1 cpu bios is 1.07.16. ec version is 1.06 .01 this is the 9900ks 128gb bios wondering if I need anything else

When you installed the CPU did you reset the BIOS to defaults ? Then go into cou features and enable speed step . I think that should do it . I'm considering getting a qtj1 but I need to make sure I have the right bios as I got the clevo used and it was flashed I think 17.06 I think

I have a very nice 3080 ti myself . Friend of mine bought himself a clevo p870tm1 with vapor chamber and then bought a supposed 3080 MXM from a seller on eBay . Card pulled 180 watts and overheated instantly because the vapor chamber doesn't have the proper mounting points . So he gave up on it and then sent it to me . I managed to figure out how to mount it and apply proper pressure with a combination of a copper shim( harvested from and old Asus rog laptop ) plenty of pads , bending the tabs up where you screw the vapor chamber to the chassis ( 2 points 1 left 1 right ) and a foam block pressing on the cooler and the underside chassis. The card is identified as a 3080 ti with both gpuz and cpuz as well as task manager . Had an extra resister soldered as well . So I'm assuming the seller probably gets a bunch of these cards from dead clevos , tongfangs ,firebats, or whoever and flips them . Anyway it's an impressive card that REQUIRES the use of both power bricks otherwise it power throttles lol temp are 30s idle and 80 plus full tilt with fans on auto

Whats sad is i have the vapor chamber with the added cpu part to assist in cooling the cpu . i really wanted the one from aliexpress but now you cant get it LOL wont go into reason why . political .... but still the one with the included part for the cpu is doing very well. i just need to mod it so it can actually mount onto my 3080 ti mxm 180 watt

It's so sad my Alienware 18 r1 viking died ;( lol I'm now rocking a p870tm1 but I miss my Alienware a bit . Nice to see the 3080 standard MXM cards work in these old beasts . If I get another viking or ranger I know what I'm doing also the MXM slots are limited to 115 watt unless you resister mod

Fair enough I'll message him I hope he's not to cagey about what he did as cash is tight . ATM I have a foam block pressing again the inside of the chassis and the heatsink and the highest I'm getting now is 70s on hotspot and core

My heatsink looks very similar to this but has the added mount for the CPU as well (4 Screw on top of CPU heatsink ) otherwise identical

So I have the vapor chamber heatsink myself ( dual 1070 version I think ) what I did with mine was get a copper shims from an old Dell e6400 heatsink . Sanded it down flat then applied thermal paste on both sides . Then the two tabs ( one on the left and right that you screw down ) I bent them upward a bit to apply more pressure . Used all my pads and puddy and my 3080 ti ( apparently according to gpuz and CPU z ) is pretty cool . The hot spot does hit 92c but the core never exceed 80 ish . And the clocks are 1880mhz and pulls near 180 watt... It was modded by someone and a seller on eBay sold it . She's a spicy card . If I could see how developer modified the heatsink is appreciate it 🙂

I have one of these and I it has an rtx 3080 in it 16gb card . Really nice notebook I'm using the sli heatsink ( the big black heavy one ) lol and aside from not being able to directly mount it to the GPU it works fine . GPU is cooled ok ( isles at 39 c ) but will spike to 80 plus . Need to figure out how to mount it without paying a bunch at shy rate . Lovely notebook

oo thia ia nice . going to do this to my p4000 in my alienware 18

Furthermore . I'm in talks with xvision s out the Rx 6600 . They have the xt and non . They are 130 watts so they will be a bit power limited at 110 until resister 004 is soldered . But I'm not sure if they will work on haswell

Yeah we need a hero to patch the bios . Since at least on haswell you can use the sleep bug to flash modded bios . Rebar would be a big win for haswell based Alienware units

Weird that only 2 memory channels work . Hmm that's odd funny thing is I do have some rather rare 16gb ddr3l 1600 sodimms . They were released with Siemens tablet PCs . And yes they do work and I've tested more ram in my old 6800 when I had it . Had 64gb ram in it and it booted and ran fine . Even though the Intel website lists 32gb max it's because at the time of release 8gb sticks were pretty much the norm and max ..the 16gb ddr3l sticks cake out right at broad well so ddr4 was the go to

Hey where can I get one of those mutant i7 4980hqs at ? I want one for my aw 18 Viking lol my 4930mx is a hot mess that can't do 4.2 to save it's life

Hey look up a program called custom resolution utility . When you run it you can add 75 Hz and then hit export ..select .exe and name the app/ did to 75hz and save somewhere . Then double click it under admin and select install edid then reboot and you will have 75hz added to your list of refresh rates under Windows display settings . My Vikings screen is at 120hz and it's beautiful

I just thought I'd chime in , I have a Viking myself and for a while I did have the issue with the GPU 1 fan not spinning . I was in windows 10 at the time then upgraded to 11 . Had the issue still but did a fresh install and both my fans spin now when the gpus are under load . I have the stock 970 in slot 0 and the p4000 in slot 1 both fans spin up . Now I will say batteries for these laptops are hit and miss as every battery I've bought including an ifixit one has died or acted weird after a whole . I'm curious about the resister mod . I have a vague idea where it is but I need to know what resister to add .

where are people grabbing the i7 4980hq mutants ? i need one for my alienware 18 atm i have a 4930mx fine cpu but the 128mb l4 cache really helps with a lot of games plus the iris being as fast as a gt740 will make things feel less sluggish since you have to use IGPU in windows also for those wanting 4050s in these i think we need above 4g decoding

I have an Alienware 18 with a 4930mx . I'm on a15 . Is there an unlocked version of that bios ?

Oh this is nice to see im glad we have a new forum to chat on 🙂 im still running a rtx 4000 in my alienware 17 r1 . got it during the mning craze . its a good gpu but will not boost at all.

I'd be curious to see the performance with that card
