Nice job. I've seen your FS results on website and found that you are using gskill 2133 memory. Do the sticks really work as 2133? I have succeeded OCing memory upto 2000 on m17x R4 using corsair sticks but not higher.

M17XR4 LEGACY SUPPORT POSIBLE - NEED TESTERS
godfafa replied to Swick1981's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
Hello, can I test your mod bios for m17x R4. I'd be very glad to be a tester. Thank you, -
Oh Did you have throttle with the newest driver before? when using UEFI ? The reason of throttle might have been UEFI, as you've mentioned, or maybe driver? When you have time, you can try legacy + old driver (that you've experienced throttle).
-
Thanks alot buddy. Oh i need one for myself.. for my m17x R4
-
Can you try to remove your AC power from the back of your laptop and after 10 sec put it again. And then see what happen, see if there is still no throttle. I am asking you because the throttle did not always happened but after this kind of power drain, it started to happen.
-
Wow very good news here. If the throttle was due to UEFI, it really makes sense. @82280zx Have you tried tests after several power drain too?
-
Thank god, the seller helped me get it fixed. I thought I sent you the email, but it came back saying "it contains possible risk virus.... blah" Thanks alot for your concern.
-
I sent you mail attached with the XMG bios. Thanks.
-

@Prema In case of p750dm brick, what can I do? I tried to use xmg bios which just bricked my p750dm. It doesn't post. Can you please help me? Thanks..

Hi @Prema, are you planning to release p7xxDM-G mod bios? Stock sucks
-
359.12 also randomly throttle on my m17x R4 (win10). (cold boot or power drain) Only 352.84 works perfect even on cold boot or after power drain.
-
@J95 Thanks alot again for your efforts. Power drain makes m17x R4 and m18x R2 to throttle using 980m EXCEPT with 352.84 driver. Only 352.84 driver works perfect. Do you have any other thought about this?
-
No you are the only one. @j95 and I have mentioned the problem a few years ago already. No one has solved it. There is no way to unlock the true "TDP lock" in m17x R4. That's why it is very important to use "good" CPU in m17x R4. The max TDP it can handle is 68w.
-
I am in dgpu mode. I never use optimus nor iGPU. Installing driver is easy. I just did it as I did with win7. edited... Oh I read your posts. Why are you even bothering to use optimus which is the most "failed" technology in gaming notebooks. What's the use of it for ''17 notebook. It wont even boost your battery life.
-
Hi @J95, Your m17x R4 looks very nice 2165 memory? wow!! I am using my m17x R4 with [email protected], 980m (prema), windows 10 + nvidia 359.12 (j95 modded inf). With this setting, would I still need to load task scheduler(P0_P1)?

My M17X R4 does't recognise my video card
godfafa replied to RacerBas's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
There are some possible causes of the situation. 1. The video slot on Mobo may be broken. 2. The GPU may be broken. -
If someone has dell official 980m vbios(master and slave), I would be very gladful if I can get a copy of them. Thanks. [email protected] is my email address.
-
ASUS card has always been such way. I hope othre vendors aren't that way.
-
MSI GT80 is coming out with 980 too. I am not sure whether it is coming out with SLI or single configuration though.
-
p8xxdm is coming out with 980m sli or 980 single. From this configuration, I am thinking that 980 is compatible with the old mxm but need something. The "something" may be power or thermal control.
-
@Prema Thanks for the pics and links of the new stuffs. Is the new gpu (mobile 980) compatible with old notebooks (pre-skylake) such as p7x0zm?
-
I've tried clevo 7970 in m17x R3 years ago. Never succeeded. I think clevo vbios doesn't work for m17x R3. After the fail, I got Dell 7970 and it worked flawlessly except for the dimmed screen which could be solved by hwinfo.

NVIDIA Maxwell VBIOS mods - 900m series overclocking versions
godfafa replied to svl7's topic in General Notebook Discussions
Any one has stock vbios of 980m from the NEW AW18 with 980m sli? -
My friends in Korean Alienware Forum found these on Japanese Dell site. New skylakes are coming from everywhere.
