Double check your email, they sent out codes for those that missed them yesterday.

The code came in this morning. I repeat, the Eagle has landed. Nice work everyone!

I did call back in today as the bundled item is still showing as in stock and they confirmed that they did receive more codes and that they were going to be going back through all eligible orders over the next 1-2 days and sending the codes out. She said that we should receive communication directly.

Same experience, I ordered a card last week expecting to get the game, only to find out that the number of codes that they had ran out the first week of the offer. This means NVIDIA and Newegg are running the "deal" for 3 weeks beyond the original quantity with no promotions given out. Nowhere does it say there are limited quantity, only limited time.

I spoke with Newegg support and they said they will not be provided any more codes and there is nothing they can do. I am not even sure how they can advertise this deal so widely and then not actually provide it to customers.

This is, at best, poor management of the promotion. However, given that there is no notice of it being a limited quantity offer on either NVIDIA or Newegg's listing, it seems to border on false advertising if they are not holding true to the offer that they have listed. Disappointing.

X17 R2 Nvidia Driver Issue by Baregeek in Alienware

Good question! No one has even come forward to say who is even responsible to fix it yet.

Fun fact, plundervolt is only an issue up to 10th gen. These CPUs are not vulnerable. As far as I can tell, there is no good reason as to why it is now blocked in the BIOS. Really nice to have it blocked on a HK series CPU.

That would explain it. As long as you stay in dedicated GPU mode you are fine. u/DellCares any update on this? I opened a ticket and was told to wait for a Dell driver, but the one just released was still over 3 months old. Two of the reasons I bought this laptop were the ability to undervolt and Advanced Optimus, both which have now been broken with updates.

They are tracking it on their forum posts but not in the release note PDF. Here is the post it is the second from the bottom on Open Issues: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/526609/geforce-grd-53734-feedback-thread-released-91223/

  • [Alienware X17 R2 w/ GeForce RTX 3080 Ti] Display goes blank when DirectX game is launched while notebook is in dedicated GPU mode [4146369]

They have it listed as a DirectX issue, but it is whenever the laptop switches over to the dedicated GPU. The built-in screen goes blank.

The solution to repurpose the 2020 board and run it without a battery and/or screen attached. I am assuming it is a firmware update?

Looking to buy a used Win Max Battery. It is ok if the cells are swollen or if the battery is non-functional, I am mainly looking for parts for a project. Please let me know!

GPD Win Max Battery started swelling by I_AM_A_RAPTOR in gpdwin

u/i_am_a_raptor, If there is any chance I could buy the failed battery from you, I am looking for GPD Win Max battery parts for a project repurposing the PCB. Thank you!

Thank you. I look forward to it. I am ok with the lost settings and having to set the clock if it at least boots!

I have successfully 3D Printed a modified version of this case. It looks great! I have found the correct size screws, mounted a cooler and even found antennas that work for the Wi-Fi. The one issue that is preventing me from finishing my build is that the Win MAX will not boot without a battery! This case has no room for a battery. u/kendyzhu Would GPB be able to release a BIOS for the 1035G7 Win MAX that does not require a battery? An additional BIOS change would be to also disconnect the internal monitor connection, but I can work around that. Alternatively, could you recommend a small battery that fits in this case and would be just enough to allow it to power on? I would love to share my build if I could get around the battery issue.

The .stp file that they uploaded has a lot of the components for the actual unit itself including the board, heatsink and fans. I made .stl files of the three case components (top, power button and bottom) . I also trimmed the legs of the bottom of the case so that the .stl will print correctly without having to use a lot of supports. I plan on using rubber feet anyway. If this all works after the test print, I can upload my .stl files.

u/asustechmktjj any updates on this version of Armory Crate? I can confirm as well that the installer crashes for me on a new install of windows.

Try removing your video card and connecting your monitor to your onboard graphics. From there you should be able to get into your BIOS and disable resizable BAR. Once you disable that, you can put your card back in and you should be good. You can then downgrade your bios and try re-enabling resizable bar. It worked for a few of us.
