    Hey Vqmp, Hows your upgrade going? I was looking at a P5000, ssj92 says he is waiting for a Quadro A4000 but that might be hard to come by, and the P4000 went in my m18xr2 without a hiccup and also my m17xr4. They are running great, I just have a problem leaving well enough alone

    OK I'll give in, here,s a little something I like, And don't ask how old I am!

    OK started up the m17xr4 this morning from overnight shut down and the BSOD came back. Don't understand why it worked last night, even got this score on Firestrike https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/73753021. It was running for about 4 or 5 hours before I shut it down, I needed to get some sleep, just want to keep an eye on it till its stable. How about the vBios option, I'd like to experiment with different ones. I also went to Aetina and got the 436.02-notebook-win10-64bit_Aetina drivers for 1000 series from them, seems like a regular Nvidia installer I was hoping they did some in house hacking to, but same, I get a BSOD or code 43 windows stops it from running and the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter gives a code 31 can't load the driver. I also increased the timeout (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control \GraphicsDrivers\TdrDelay to 8. I hope there are other vBios I can try EDIT EDIT EDIT OK Hate to be a pest but I took out the 1080 and put back the P4000 in m17xr4, was hoping to put the P4000 in the M6700 cause it has a GTX 980. But since it is so easy to change cards in the m17xr4 I don't mind if a solution or suggestion comes in, Thanks for the patience.

    Thanks Maxware79, you are a reliable source and great help, So the GTX 1080 mxm from aetina did not run in the m18xr2, tried about 4 different drivers and every option on each Express install to custom and all installed perfectly until reboot and then bluescreen. So I went back in and reinstalled the P4000 and it is running top notch. Took the 1080 and installed it in the m17xr4, first shot running perfectly. Very happy with that 17x. As to why the 18xr2 is not taking the 1080 will have to wait, I pulled the LED Logo Board Cable and it ripped like a piece of paper (see photo) I don't use that light anyway, disabled it years ago because it botherd me when playing games in the dark. Now I am going through Drivers for the m17xr4, I'll start with the latest and see how it does in 3DMark, I am now a happy camper!!! The vBios in the 1080 is 84.04.39.00.00, Here is the validation page https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/details/g5rx2 I can over clock but can't set power and temp OH Yea I had to take out the 2nd Drive to fit the 1080, now I'll have to get a dvd caddy to put in a HDD for extra storage The 1080 is longer and reaches in to the 2nd drives bay. This stuff really makes me shake my head LOL

    I need help, I'm put a Aetina GTX 1080 in my m18xr2 and am getting bluescreens on restart. Tried different drivers, 512.15notebook, 472.12notebook, don't know if it needs quadro drivers but editing the quadro drivers didn't seem correct. Maybe the vbios needs to be changed OR maybe I got a bad card. The drivers install ok but after restart I get code 43 with 497.29 notebook driver. Nvidia control panel not working. I put SG mode in bios is there any other bios settings that need to be changed like muxless settings?

    I'd like to see the benchmark on this https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/crusher_quick_start_guide.html The Crusher was announced today, it beats out china's computer Saw it here first https://www.tomshardware.com/news/from-opteron-to-milan-crusher-supercomputer-comes-online-with-amd-cpus-and-gpus

    saw this on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/253284253813?epid=13019948470&hash=item3af8eb0075:g:6McAAOSwdjdaHlfw Dont think this will fit on the r2, Just wondering if the fins can dissipate enough to cool the extra mass. The heat still has to go through the same area on the fins. But if you got 10 C drop with thermal glue I will go with this for the price. My m17xr4 peaked to 105c according to gpuz during firestrike so I disabled the extreme OC but it still touching 100c, dont know why it didnt shut down. Gonna try another paste when I get my gtx 1080 in a day or so, I see some discrepancies between speccy and gpuz about 8c on the cpu and 0.8c on the gpu

    Watch your temps, stress it out, if it gets high, swab it out
  11. aldarxt
    Could there be a conflict with Primocache and windows, maybe you found a bug or a difference in settings
  12. aldarxt
    I leave mine running 24/7 too but sometimes I shut it down but it is plugged in all the time, so if it is shut down and plugged in will it be warm and no fans running, I guess it wouldn't drain the battery being plugged in, but it just bothers me, like if I go somewhere I would be thinking its heating up, maybe I should get one and experiment!!!
  13. aldarxt
    Thats great that its bootable so now it can run main operating system on fastest drive. Does it still draw power when it is shut down? That is the only reason I am not getting it, I would really like to put a NVME in as main drive in my m18xr2

    I got alot of help back then just lurking about, just reading what everyone was working on and going to do it myself, many mishaps but mostly successful, You were out there alot giving real good solutions and eyebrow raising opinions LOL
  15. aldarxt
    Have you tried unlocked vBios IDK I guess there aren't any for 10 series

    Hey Reciever I came across this many years ago when my asus g51jx was always running HOT I was able to keep a cup of coffee warm placing it in front of the fan, RwPortableX64V1.6.9 allows you to run the fans full bolt say when gaming but to set it back when done, dont remember if a reboot was necessary to reset it. Google it and there was a pic of what to set and the fans just go full, I would play Morrowind or FO3 and the asus stayed cool. Just thought it might help instead of cutting wires. It's not an install just runs portable Here is the pic I used to use

    Does anyone know how to disable "Error Correction Code" (ECC) in nvidia control panel or by regedit or using CUDA sdk or has this been mitigated by nvidia? The ECC is enabled on my quadro P4000 and I've read it takes 10% off of the performance of the card. My nvidia control panel has no option for workstation in settings and that is where it is supposed to be to enable or disable it

    Hey Mr.Fox, I don't know if you've seen this https://premamod.wordpress.com/2017/07/07/ocu/ but have a look, your legendary status has reached far across the WEB

    I purchased this Dell Precision M6700 Intel i7-3940XM 3.0GHz 256G 16GB DVDRW Quadro K4000M W10PRO in Feb 2018, only to get the cpu for my m18xr2, it now has a i7-3840QM, a GTX 970 or GTX 980, I switch for testing and comparrison, a ST9750420AS in secondary and ST9500423AS in the optical drive bay. Where would I fit the fourth? I am looking to install a Quadro P4000 after I get a GTX 1080 for my m17xr4. Not sure how to make the P4000 work in the M6700. I am very happy with the M6700, I like that it can be worked on upgraded and replaceable components, not giving it up as far as I can see

    I just cant bring myself to load up Win11. By 2025 when win10 ends M$FT will be well into win12 and maybe by some FAT chance it will maybe be better than 11 but not worse I hope. But I totally skipped over 8 + 8.1 went from win7 to win 10 and have accepted 10 as not bad. I am deffinetly happier with 10 than what I am seeing all these reports of win11
  22. aldarxt
    The Alienware m17xr4 which bios is better, A11 unlocked or A15 unlocked? I have A10 installed now but not sure what the difference of the 2 unlocked would provide. I am having no problems and the m17xr4 is running great. But I do have a problem with "If it aint broke dont fix it" I tend to fix it anyway, its fun fixing it after I broke it HA HA HA!

    I got it working by setting Preferred Graphics Processor to "High Performance Nvidia Processor" in 3D Settings, Nvidia Control Panel. That program runs through some tests in temp folder and can't set them in windows or Nvidia Control Panel. Just the main .exe can be set. I like running UserBenchMark because it is alot faster than 3DMark and I can change PC settings more quickly to adjust for performance. But your bringing this issue up helped me to figure it out. I didn't know about windows taking control of the GPU, M$FT fingers getting too Sticky!

    I am having a similar problem with UserBenchMark.exe from https://www.userbenchmark.com/. When the gpu test comes up it uses integrated and I have set it in windows and Nvidia control panel. There must be a way to stop windows from taking control over Nvidia

    Don't know if this is the right thread but came across an old bookmark and thought it might be something, I am not that tech savvy but this site https://ipfs.io/ Might it be good for archiving the NBR website or provide access to it. I don't understand what it is but scanning through this site made me think about the loss of our Prized website forums. I hope someone might get an Idea
