  1. As a reference/comparison with AW:

    Santech G37 / Clevo P370SM3

    780M SLI @1050/6000 1.1v (have a feeling that could afford something more, only tried 1100 but it crashes, but maybe 1060/1070/1080 works).

    4930mx @4.0ghz (could probably push a bit more, 4.2/4.3, but the cooling system for CPU in clevo is pretty poor here)

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4930MX,Notebook P370SM3

    Total: P14974

    Graphics Score: 19052

    Physics Score: 9241

    Combined Score: 8941

    This is on a single 330W adapter. Not bad I would say 19k with a single adapter, in the 'poor' clevo ;-)

    Can anyone share some settings for pushing 4.2/4.3 on XTU on the 4930mx?

    I tried several by looking at the ones on hwbot/etc.. but they all failed to apply (instant crash), when I try.

    I'm a clueless n00b here, some help from the 'pros' (mr fox / johnkss / etc..) would be very appreciated.

    The cooling system on the CPU is very poor and probably also the stock paste is bad, throttling a bit even on 4.0x4 after 2-3 minutes of XTU stress testing, but for short 3dmark 11 benching would work at 4.2/4.3 probably, if I can manage to find a setting that 'sticks'.

    Even tried TS6b1, but couldn't make it work, fixing the multipler at 42/43T did nothing at all on my 4930mx.

  2. Yeah, that seems much better now) are you gaming at these clocks? Did you try TS for CPU OC? Dunno if it has support for Haswell

    The clocks are stable, I could game with them, but since I'm not fully confident with running 4+ hours a day with 1.1v and 90+ degrees on GPU0 for the long term implications, I usually game at 950/6000 stock voltage. If the game really requires (like the witcher 2 with ubersampling in 3D vision), I push 1000/6000 1.05v, but no more than that for gaming.

    It's more than enough to game everything at 1080p even in 3D anyways, so why bother? ;-)

  3. XTU should be able to set it. You can play with BCLK a little to overclock memory and PCI-E as well as the CPU, but the big gains will come from raising the "turbo-ratio limits". You will need to raise the TDP to allow all cores to be overclocked at once. You should not need to adjust current limit settings. Your cooling will not be able to handle "additional turbo voltage" for more overclocking unless you have extensively modified it.

    Care to elaborate a bit here?

    It's not totally clear to me how I should proceed.

    Should I use XTU, should I use Throttlestop, should I use both?

    I didn't understand yet the minimum amount of changes I need to do run for example even an easy locked 4.3x on 4-cores.

    Should I use XTU undervolt to save heat and avoid throttling, should I use XTU/TS to increase TDP and/or current limit, should I just use TS to force the multiplier, etc...?

    I know for sure that in P370SM chassis, compared to AW which instead have better cooling, I will surely be limited by heat/throttling, so would be better maybe to start with an undervolt and see what's the minimum that I can hold 4.3 on 4-cores, but I don't what the best way to proceed here.

    Someone can help a total n00b like me on this, with a very easy guide to follow to test it out?

    I'm still stuck on 8k physics score on 3dMark11, and it's pretty sad for a 4930mx :P

    Thank you.

  4. System? Clevo P370SM3 on Win8Pro, all standard/stock, all drivers/services freshly instealled, no tweak/optimizations done, drivers 320.41 standard.

    I'm just using NVidiaInspector to OC: 146% power, and setting +N on core/memory/voltage.

    My guess is that the voltage is the bottleneck here, I just tried +25mV.

    Tonight I'll try some more pushing 50mv/100mv, and see what I can reach with that.

    Do you think the bottleneck maybe elsewhere? Any suggestion on how to proceed?

    Also, some n00b guide for fully overclock my 4930mx CPU?

    Should I go with throttlestop6 and just force 43-45 multiplier, on play with XTU and the fancy ampere/TDP settings? I'm a total n00b here, last time I OC a CPU we just used FSB/multiplier, and there was no boost technology :D

    Some small tutorial would be helpful.

    Small update:

    With +50mV I was able to go 1000/3000 fully stable (gamed for 3+ hours with no issues)

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4930MX,Notebook P370SM3

    Tonight if I have time I will also see with +100mV how far I can get.

  5. With Haswell CPU, you can OC a bit (200/400/600 mhz) on 4700/4800/4900 with XTU.

    With 4930mx, you can freely OC what you want.

    Once we have a proper modded bios from PREMA, probably we can also freely OC the other non MX cpus. Prema said it's coming for SM series.

    Regarding the score, with a very light OC you can easily get your 680M SLI score.

    If you are willing to dig deeper and try a stronger OC, we know from johnkss that the 780M SLI can go stable up to 1050+/6000+ @1.050/1.100mv, easily reaching and surpassing 18/19k GPU score on 3dMark 11.

    Johnksss has a crazy 20k+ GPU score on that, but that's a bit extreme.

    Once I have time, I'll humbly test my MX cpu and some further GPU OC/OV on mine too.

    My personal goal is to able to game continously at 4.5 ghz CPU and 1050/6000 780M SLI.

    We will see if I can achieve it :-)

  6. Wow, great rig! Congrats) does the system get hot while gaming/normal use? Did you try 3D gaming, how does it feel?) Really interesting to see what MX CPU is capable of

    While gaming/benching, It maxes around 75-80 (depending on game) on main GPU, and around 70-75 on the other, even with GPU mild OC (no OV or CPU OC though).

    Furmark instead burns the GPUs down and make them go FAAAAAST to 90+, but that never happen with anything else.

    3D Gaming takes a while to accustomed, especially to 100% depth, but once you do that.... WOW. Fuck. WOW. The Witcher 2 @1080p/3D 60+ fps with all enabled it's... unbelievable.

    For the MX CPU, still have to understand how to properly overclock this beast to 4500+ mhz, I'm a total XTU n00b, will try with easier throttlestop first, didn't have time so far.

    P. S. As far as i know 780m scores almost 16k gpu on stock in 3Dmark11 and with 980/2800 1.025v should be around 18k gpu

    That can be *MAYBE* be done, but with a fully optimized system.

    With a standard system (windows 8 pro standard installation, all services & drivers active, tons of stuff in notification area loaded, etc...) it's around 14-15k on STOCK and 16-17k on mild OC (<= 100/150), for GPU.

    For reference, check 3dMark11 result page, or here: HTWingNut's Sager NP9390 / Clevo P375SM Review!

    Of course, with extreme overclocks, like 1100/3000, and full optimization, also 20k GPU can be obtained... ask jonksss!!!! :-)

  7. Installed vBIOS on both 780M, and it's far far better than stock.

    Wonderful job guys!!!!

    Previously they were running @771 mhz, and one of the GPUs was even throttling to 600-something for power reasons (reaching 100% TDP).

    Now with modded vBIOS, they stay rock-solid @849, and forcing 146% power they don't throttle anymore.

    OC is rock-solid at 950/2800, but doesn't go higher for the core, not even 975/2500, not even @1.025mv.

    Seems my limit for the 780M SLI is around that, with no/little OV.

    13k PScore / 16k Graphics, so can't really complain ;-)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Added detail:

    Temperatures even with this OC are quite good, when gaming they stabilize around 75c for one GPU, 70c for the other, with fans in full-blast (FN+1). Furmark destroys the machine, with main GPU going as high as 92/93C, the other in the low 80s. I will try to repaste and see if things improve.

  8. Just received my machine

    Santech G37 / Clevo P370SM3

    Intel i7 4930MX

    32 GB DDR3L 1.600MHz CL9

    2x SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB

    17,3" LED 3D/120hz FullHD 1.920x1.080 NO-GLARE 72% NTSC

    2x SSD 240GB Intel 525 mSATA in RAID0 (C: for OS)

    2x SSD 512GB Samsung 840 PRO in RAID0 (D: for DATA)

    Stock is around 12k P / 14k Graphics on 3dMark11.

    With modded vBIOS and a slight GPU-only OC (950/2800), I easily break 13k P Score and 16k Graphics score.

    I still need to OC the CPU, had no time so far.

    Temperatures even with this OC are quite good, when gaming they stabilize around 75c for one GPU, 70c for the other, with fans in full-blast (FN+1). Furmark destroys the machine, with main GPU going as high as 92/93C, the other in the low 80s. I will try to repaste and see if things improve.

    If you need anything else just ask ;-)
