ssj92 Posted Thursday at 01:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:02 PM Getting tempted to sell my m18 r1 and buy one of these. 👀 what’s the cheapest 5090 model? I see a 200hz 3840x2400 panel, is that one mini led? 1 Alienware m18 : Intel Core i9 13900HX @ 5.0Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 4090 | K1675 | 2x1TB SSDs Alienware Area-51M : Intel Core i9-9900K @ 5.3Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 | AX210 | Samsung 970 Evo+ Alienware M18x R2 : Intel Core i7 3920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | AX210 | Samsung 980 PRO Alienware 18 : Intel Core i7 4930MX @ 4.5Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 5000 | AX210 | Samsung 980 NVMe More Laps: M14x | M14xR2 | M15x (980m) | M17xR2 (RTX 3000) | M17xR3 (WX 7100) | M18xR1 (RTX 5000) BEAST Server: Intel Xeon W7-3465X 28 P-Cores | 2x nVidia RTX Titan | 128GB RDIMM | Intel Optane P5800X CS Studios YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CSStudiosYT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be an unlocked variant from System76 but modifications to that bios need basic programming knowledge. The 5090 QHD+ model I got from Sager was $4150 including a three year warranty before tax. Both panels are IPS. The best memory performance I have tested so far is 4x16 Kingston Fury 5600 CL40, but its still pretty far in latency from other models. 2x16 6400 CL52 CSODIMMs may be better if it is stable.

I thought that like MSI all Clevo bios were unlockeable so that undervolting would be supported but apparently not. That also means more heat than necessary which makes better fan control a must for me. Does Clevo have a useable fan control implementation in the X580 or do you control them by other means? In the X170 and P775 I am very happy with Clevo Fan Control https://github.com/djsubtronic/ClevoFanControl/releases but I somehow doubt that it will work with the X580! Good luck with those CSODIMMS - they seem to be the way to go for Arrow Lake laptops and I am currently waiting for 48GB modules as I do not really need 256GB but 128GB is not enough either.
