P150HM and GTX680M : yes we can

Recommended Posts

You can expect a gain of 50 % stock to 80-90% oc.

http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo-sager/1924-p150hm-gtx680m-yes-we-can-3.html#post27637

But if you attempt an extreme OC superior to 954Mhz, you need to have a psu > 180W and optimize the cooler system.

Any infos where to buy or modify a PSU > 180W for the P150HM ?

Hi,

today i bite the dust and ordered an GTX680M upgrade kit from Eurocom.

Anyone here knows if this reseller is trustworthy ?

I also want to know if there is some source where i can always download the latest modded .inf for actual drivers ?

Is there already a modded driver for version 314.07 out ?

Regards,

Manuel

Some news ... after some week of testing, i think i have found a nearly perfect vbios for GTX680M in P150HM, this vbios is a modified version of the MSI FD provided by SLV7.

You can find here http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/2062-using-your-4gb-gtx-680m-its-safest-full-potential.html

The Gpu with this vbios has a voltage of 1v in charge (0.962v with original vbios, 1.12v with saltius ...), with this vbios i have no shutdown anymore, no throttling ... The idle bug appear only with furmark. Peak consumption 184W peak temp 89°C after 2h30 of Crysis2 (ambient temperature 28°C but with a zalman 3000 notebook cooler)

Now Some testing (geforce 306.23)

@kolias @nabelo: sorry for the wait, i was convince to have already put online the modded .inf but it was on an another forum

here it is:

Modded .inf for nvidia 314.07 Whql (optimised for Crysis3)

https://hotfile.com/dl/195032519/b91ded6/nvcvn.inf.html

@nabelo: I have read on some forum that Eurocom is a serious company, ask them if they provide the heatsink, screw and xplate because some vendor sell only the card.

I hope that you won't pay too much VAT like you buy it in US and you live in germany.

@kolias: My secret: I use a modded bios made by @Prema and designed for the P150HM/2860QM couple .

Explanation from Jaybee83 (NBR member)

"The benefit of this modded BIOS is that the CPU wont be slowed down by its specified TDP limits when its activating its clock boost. Officially, 2860QM CPU is rated at a maximum of 3.6 Ghz Clock boost with one core / 3.5 Ghz with two cores and 3.3 Ghz with all four cores on load. This Turbo Boost is limited by the specified TDP of 45W. Thus, once 45W are reached, the Turbo Boost stops and often doesnt fully reach its maximum potential. So instead of 3.6/3.5/3.3 Ghz you would only reach like 3.3/3.2/3.0 Ghz in reality because the specified TDP is reached before the Turbo Boost can be maximized.

Long story short, this BIOS Mod raises the specified TDP ceiling to 60/70W so that the Turbo Boost of the CPU is not limited anymore and can sustain its maximum clocks of 3.6/3.5/3.3 Ghz at any time "

So you can see that my physx score is around 8100 vs your 7649 score with your 2960QM, my cpu with this P150hm modded Bios give a boost on the GTX680M (I got the chance to have a good card that can run at 1006/2400 with only 1v).

The inconvenient is that combined with the GTX680M OC i need a better PSU (superior than 200w, ordered to a forum member based in scotland) to contain the power consumption of this beast.

Thanks for the link man!!I must give somewhere else some rep and then its all yours....:joyous:

So the real reason is the modded bios 2860qm from the other magition(prema)??

I must do something for that too.....

And i moddify the 240w slim dell psu,and its working perfec.

Again thank you so much for your help :-)

But as usual i have some questions :)

Do you have an URL for us where we can download this BIOS modification you are talking about ?

Also do you have any infos where i can order such an PSU too ?

Best regards,

Manuel

Found this tutorial on youtube, unfortunately it's in spanish

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Other solution:

Be aware that modified a PSU could be dangerous, it could damage your laptop, result in fire, risk of electric shock and maybe worse.

Do it at your own risk, i think it would be better made by a professional.

Thanks to Meaker asus 230W Psu, here the opening video of Crysis 3 on my P150HM (1600x900 all max AAx2 GTX680M@1032/2400, 1.012V)

Incredible :-) Great vids mate....

Btw. do you have already a modded .inf for the new 314.14 driver ?

I have a P150HM and I've tried saltius vbios (1.037V) to push my 680M higher. But I live in a very hot country

and my GPU temp can reach 93 Celsius Degrees and at this point my GPU clock downs to half the original value.

What is the more appropriated vbios that allows me to OC the card above the 135Mhz limit?

This two should be fine to OC above 135Mhz and still use same volts:

Clevo 680m - 80.04.29.00.01 'OCedition' revised_01

MSI 680m - 80.04.33.00.24_'OCedition'_revised_02

If you want to push it a little further with a slight OV then try this one:

MSI 680m - 80.04.33.00.24_'OCedition'_revised_02 - OV 1000v

In general stay away from all Dell and Clevo versions based on 80.04.33.00.10 & 80.04.67.00.01 or higher as they will brick a GTX680M in an HM model. :69:

Crysis 3 performance comparison (1600x900 vs 1920x1080)

1600x900

1920x1080

In the two others videos, you can directly compare the scene where Psycho give the arc to Prophet like the movie camera is driven by the game, you will see the real fps difference.

This scene apear at 1 min 37s in Crysis3_Opening_Part3 and at 0 min 31s in Crysis3_Opening_1920x1080_Part3

1600x900

1920x1080

Great great job. I saw a lot of forum for find if Sandy Bridge can work with Kepler ! I have an GT780dxr Msi and I want to make your mod. And I'm a little Afraid, because I just bought an gtx675mx (she cost an eyes :-( ) and now, I'm not sure that it will fit, but I want to try.

Congratulations Again for your Job, you're the first (and alone) Kepler/sandybridge man

!
