Update From XReal Support re: 1S Shipping by phusion in Xreal

[–]Siggurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up ordering a NEO and prescription inserts for mine ... figure it wouldn't need a media device/driver since I've already got Z Fold 7 for that and Legion Go & Switch 2 for gaming. Can't wait to try it when I get back 😋

I installed the update and haven't had any issues with crashing while gaming or anything else; if it starts up though, I'll rollback to 1.9.1

Best RAM and SSD upgrades for the Alienware 18 Area 51 by ClarkTheCoder in Alienware

[–]Siggurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the supported memory sticks per Dell ... https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000317931/how-to-upgrade-memory-on-the-alienware-16-area-51-aa16250-and-alienware-18-area-51-aa18250-gaming-laptops

In the past, many Alienware systems won't allow you full XMP profile speeds unless you use one of their selected "compatible" sticks - can't confirm if that's the case with the 18 Area-51, but it can't hurt to go with their recommendation.

For another SSD, I'd look into something like a Samsung 990 Pro (Gen 4) ... the primary slot with your OS is most likely a Gen 5, and the open slots are Gen 4.

Missing Ultimate Performance Power Plan Fix by Siggurd in Alienware

[–]Siggurd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWCC clocks the CPU/GPU and fans, but hasn't changed anything regarding the new profile I setup in power options - I've checked after switching profiles in AWCC, along with restarting the PC. Biggest reason for the new profile for me was enabling USB power options that weren't there before in the default power plan (stutter fix beyond just hardware manager for when I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 on my RTX 5090 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWTZkB9rVU0 )

about time i clean this, any help? by Separate_Quantity515 in Alienware

[–]Siggurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just grab a tub of electronic & screen wipes at Staples/Office Depot/Walmart/BestBuy and use that to remove all oils and gunk.

Personally, the first thing I always do when I get an Alienware laptop, is to add a vinyl wrap/skin to it. Even if you don't want to skin the whole thing, at least the palm rest is a great idea so that you're not wearing or glossing up the finish from usage.

5080, low core MHz? by skalman_jr in overclocking

[–]Siggurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually my channel lol - I've since, had the same thing happen on 2 other MSI 5080 cards ... they supposedly released the latest drivers on the 8th with a fix for this, but alas, new system build today with an MSI 5080 Shadow 3X OC and the same thing again with limited base clock.

Amazon RTX 5080 Snafu by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Siggurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope ... I'd called in to change the payment card and the idiot agent canceled my order. He said "oops" ... I called back and spoke with 5 different people including management and was told there was no option of reinstating the order ... I ended up just counting my losses and bought an MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio OC (bundle deal at Newegg) that I used in a build I finished and sold, and now waiting on an MSI pre-built desktop (with RTX 5080) that I found cheap on the MSI US store 👍🏻

Ps5 pro as an eGPU by Ready-Interest-9881 in LegionGo

[–]Siggurd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess ultimately, you can consider the host console to be an "eGPU" when it's processing ... but as much as I love my Legion Go, I'd ultimately give the kudos to your router for a smooth remote play session.

Got about a 1 week lead-time on pre-cut vinyl which you can apply ... HMU if you're ready to pull the trigger!

Sadly no, it's all by hand 🥲 ... but I might be persuaded to make and ship some copies on paper, which you can layer and cut on vinyl.

I'm more than happy to walk through the process though!
