Alienware 17 R1 (Ranger) with 4930mx and PNY Quadro RTX 3000

Hello.

 

This is my built. It is an Alienware 17 R1 with the 60Hz screen. Initially it had a 4710mq and GTX 880m with 16 Gigs of 1600MHz Ram.

 

Cpu has been upgraded to a 4930mx @ 4,0GHz on all Cores, running throttle free

GPU has been upgraded to PNY Quadro RTX 3000, pulling 80watts constanty

Ram will be upgraded to 32GB with Ripjaws 1866MHz speed.

Bios is A14+ unlocked

 

Fan control is working natively. I have HWinfo and RTSS running an OSD while gaming just to look at temps. No control is needed.

 

Here is a Firestrike result

Here is a photo album with BIOS settings. Strange enough, system runs in iGFX mode and both Intell HD and RTX 3000 are present in the system.
