baldfish Posted Thursday at 08:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:30 PM Hey everyone, Ive got a couple kinda rough m18x r1s, I love the machines and am trying to hold out for a nice shape R2. Im interested in trying to pick up a new gpu and heatsink or at least get an idea of which units I’ll end up buying. Here are the units im interested in: Cards: Quadro RTX5000 Quadro RTX3000 X-Vsion RTX 3080 MXM Heatsinks: 5 Heatpipe for RTX 4080 3 Heatpipe for RTX 3080 My main goal of the system is to pair it with a 3920/40xm, add a 32GB kit of RAM I have, and use Windows 7 if at all possible. This will be my “Desktop on the Go” Machine. And if I end up with the Xvsion 3080 card, or RTX3000 would anything be stopping me from putting the 5pipe 4080 Heatsink on it? Thanks for your time!

ssj92 Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:05 PM M18xR1 can only use cards newer than 8XXM series in slot 2 while using a older card in slot 1 to allow it to boot. This is a BIOS issue that we have not solved yet. I'm running Quadro M2000M in primary slot with OG heatsink and in slot 2 I have a RTX 5000 in slot 2 with a custom heatsink 1 Alienware Area-51 18 : Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX @ ??? | nVidia GeForce RTX 5090 | BE200 | 1TB Gen5 9100 PRO 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...
