probably need to mod the drivers with that machines specific hardware id for the gpu
i know its rather expensive, but since the r2 can handle a gtx 1070 in SG mode, that still might be ur best option, or a 1060 even. i was able to...
well by control i meant the hwinfo sliders. I forgot it was the EC that controlled it, my mistake, could have sworn the fan behaviour changed...
i know its not quite the same, but i dont dare use hwinfo for fan control on my m18x r1 anymore. the few times i did try it, it would randomly...
Very nice, would love to have one of those in my m18x R1 even if it would only act as a storage drive and not a boot drive
did you try shutting down the laptop completely and hold the power button with the battery unplugged? maybe it bugged out somehow and needs a...
ah ok was just making sure, would hate to see a bricked alienware otherwise lol
@Emm3 yeah you can do an inplace upgrade from 7 to 10, it would then create a hardware ID license from your win7 one which ties it to the...
@Leomn you mentioned 18 r1, do you mean m18x r1? if so then the max upgrade it can handle is 880m, altho most people advise using 780m since 880m...
if you decide to do a clean install of win10, u should be able to use the win7 key that is on the 18 to activate it
from what ive read, i think the reason why 880m arent popular is because they are essentially heavily overclocked 780m, and are prone to failure...
@Raidriar mentioned in another thread about 980m needing a particular vbios in order to make both fans work, maybe he can shed some light on it
ah nice, least it worked out in the end
you can create a rescue media with macrium onto a flash drive, that way you can simply image ur C drive, boot from the flash drive and restore...
ah ok, well as long as it works lol
u would have to copy the hardware ID from device manager and alter the existing IDs in the drivers to that, since a section of those numbers is ur...
download the driver installer, extract with 7-zip to a custom location, then modify the nvdmi file inside of the display.driver folder. restart...
not sure what the issue could be, only other thing i can think of is maybe outdated drivers.
probably a long shot, but did u try right clicking the WMR application and telling it to run on the 1070?
providing you set it up right, you can have a custom auto fan curve set up in hwinfo. then u can add the line in the config file to were the fan...
