980m @ 1472/6425, 3920xm @ 4.5, memory at 2000 9-10-10 T1. @johnksss beats me just barely. I may be able to catch up if I bench outside. He's got about 25mhz core over me. He's got a very good core.

Actually it's a bit more than a little because that score was old and outdated.

Same as above but 980m @ 1476 core. #1 3dm11 GPU score on HWBOT by around ~400.

You do have my gpu score beat here though.

3dmv #1 HWBOT GPU score. 1472 core. can likely do higher. Also should push CPU more. It can do another 50MHz. It's an ES and locked to 1.351V VID max unlike OEM which are 1.501V max.

And here you have a bit to go as well....

Looking good though!

Out of curiosity, were your benches done over an AC unit, or with the laptop sitting normally?

Also if someone has a dead card with memory rated at 8GHz, I am very interested in its chips.

Done just sitting there.

Here are some 4.7 and 4.8GHz benchmarks running on AC. Don't be alarmed by the voltage. What you see is idle voltage. Under load it is in the neighborhood of 1.350-1.375V, not the high value. Not sure why idle voltage is so much higher, but that is probably a good thing to avoid 0x124 STOP errors with a high overclock.

It sure would be nice if this Sky X9 had a 5960X CPU. 6700K is a wicked Quad, but you gotta love those extra CPU cores/threads...

@Mr. Fox How high can a nice Overclock be on Gtx980 24/7? If you have the answer; Can you run a 3Dmark11 benchmark with this OC on gpu? Run as normal 4.3Ghz on processor. Thanks.

Running my delidded 6700K with Liquid Ultra at 4.7GHz temps are similar to my M18xR2 at 4.5GHz. I am using ThrottleStop and my default profile is 4.5GHz and the temps are about the same as 4.3GHz on the M18xR2. I don't overclock my GPUs 24/7, but in benching at 1435 on core they are not going over 69-71°. I played Black Ops 3 the other day with the 980 running 1400/2000 and made a video of it. It's in this thread. Have a look at the temps in that video. The 6700K is the coolest running and easiest to overclock CPU I have ever owned. If it had at least 2 more cores and 4 more threads it would be totally off the hook crazy... for a Quad it's already insanely powerful. The three benchmarks I ran today were run sitting in my lap in my living room recliner. No AC cooling, just max fans.

I was able to pull 361W with the single GTX 980 with this new 3DMark 11 high score. I tried a lot of tweaking that Brother @johnksss suggested with cache voltage and what not, but it was the EC all along. This is a really sweet machine. I should be getting a pair of GTX 980M for testing SLI in it this coming week.

So after some more modding my memory can now do 7.6GHz in 3dm11. It can only go that high though because 3dm11 is so light on memory. Fully stable is only 6930 MHz. The reason I don't have 8 Ghz is definitely memory timings. Switching the memory ID resistor on the board from Hynix to Samsung to match the memory swap got me an extra 378 MHz. 980 timings should get me 8Ghz+ at least for benchmarks. @Prema if you happen to know how to change memory timings, or would like to learn how by throwing experimental vBIOS at me... I would be very grateful.

I'm on my 240W PSU right now, so no core overvolt for core clocks. I was on the 330W last night, but the room was too hot and knocked about 10 MHz off clocks. I got tired of the crashing and gave up. I'll do 1.2V runs soon though, maybe even outside to try for 1.5GHz.

 

I did submit catzilla 1.2V to hwbot because that test loves memory clocks, and at just 7012 I got the top spot by a mile:

@Khenglish Have you considered doing a PSU mod to get some more juice out of that system? 

[Khenglish]

Both the 240W and 330W are modded. The 330W does not limit me at all. The 330W is the home PSU, and the 240W is the travel PSU. I always have the 240W on me, but not the 330W.

When ya gonna write up a quick and dirty guide on what to look for when modding these things? Bet a lot of people are curious.

I'll do one when I'm done with all major benchmarks at 1.2V

 

The how-to part won't be very detailed as I doubt people want to replace all of their GPU's memory.

1484/7500 3dm11. 17051 GPU score.

 

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/10673982

 

1472/7400 firestrike. 13198 GPU score. I can do much better than this. GPU is well over 80C due to the demo. Benching in cold will get me at least 10 MHz on core.

1482/7250 Vantage. 48728 GPU score. It can actually complete with a higher core, but for some reason fps varies a lot between runs and this was the best.

Just for fun here's the compare  between your Firestrike and one of my Titan X's OC'd: http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/6824038/fs/6521300  Ignoring the percentages and looking at raw fps, the mobile GPU comes off as really impressive. Have you compared these results to the new 980 notebook card?

Yeah I have compared them. I get 79 to 81% of an overclocked 980 notebook's performance. I want to convert the card to be a 980n, but Nvidia changed all the hardware ID resistor values between kepler and maxwell. I think I can get someone to let me borrow a 970m so I can find the hardware ID resistor area and figure out what needs to be changed for a 980n, but he just went home for winter break so I can't do this for a while.

 

Also I'm surprised that you didn't beat my 980m by more. We were running very similar clocks but you have 87.5% more CUDA cores.

Great job!

What happens when you run SLI?

[Khenglish]

This is a P150EM, so no SLI.

[johnksss]

You got me curious as to this new mod. Once prema gives you the new version of the 980M mod...Watch out!

I got it. I lose 3% performance at the same clockspeed. The clock gain is about the same as the performance loss, so I don't really gain anything with it.

[johnksss]

Is that across the board. Meaning at everything you test it against?

I ran 3dm11 and heaven and both were 3% lower. I also needed to add 25mv to make my former stock voltage overclock stable

[johnksss]

That is almost like mine. i found that the higher i go up in voltage the less stock is stable.

 

Without a hard mod.

[johnksss]

[Khenglish]

@johnksss How much have you found CPU clocks to help you in vantage? My ES CPU can only go up to 1.351V VID, which limits me to 4.55 - 4.6ghz. I see that last run was at 4.8.

 

Prema's trying to figure out why the 1.3V mod doesn't play nice with my card. Hopefully I will be throwing 1.5GHz+ runs up soon too.

[johnksss]

Vantage takes a heavy benefit from a cpu overclock. And that 48.1 is actually pretty low. The max I have gotten was 49.6k.

 

With running an es cpu you can't do too much. It's why i got rid of mine back in the day. They just don't carry the same voltage as the retail mobile chips.

 

I have an idea or two about that, but it's not my place. And you don't need 1.3V to run past 1.5ghz.

 

Edit:

What exactly did you do to get your memory to run that high?
