Hey Guys! Will there be a firmware for the 880M posted anytime soon? Any way that I can help? Thanks!

Will you guys be working on 880m custom vbios as well?

Well, I am a bit of a newbie at this. Last night anytime I raised it over +130/+300 - even bumped voltage to 1.025 - heaven crashed/black screened (ie 135/300) I just know that even for synthetic benches a lot got higher than that. So I am concerned I am doing something wrong - like I am not sure at what point I should start tinkering with voltage. When it was crashing, I was at around 68-70C. I know temperature isn't everything but it just was odd to me that I have seen numbers of like +200/+600 for benching and I can't even do that. Again, I know no two will oc the same - it just seems kind of like a huge margin. That is why I was looking for insight. Also, I was using EVGA Precision. Not sure if that will make much of a difference.

Thanks for your response, Robbo! Yes, you are right on the stock numbers. I want to give it a little nudge for gaming - I have read through a lot of threads of benching but not many really give good insight on what they use for gaming situations in terms of overclock or higher voltage. Perhaps someone can point me at what they run? I know the whole "no 2 chips are the same" thing applies...I just want a realistic goal that CAN be ran for longer periods of time. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I just recently started dabbling again. Can someone tell me what the max "safe" voltage is for 780m (in sli if that matters)? I am having trouble going past +100 and +250. Temperatures are fine, but I get black screen/driver crashes at anything beyond that. Would that be a voltage issue? Currently at stock volts using stock drivers - with SVL7's wonderful bios! Thanks for your help!

Is there any mod at all that can allow the NP9390-S to use a 120hz screen yet?

Time to tinker! I have the [h=1]Sager NP9390-S (Clevo P375SM)[/h] I know this may be a loaded question but, What are the mods Prema's bios brings to this machine? I am unclear of which ones apply to it. I enjoyed Prema's product on another machine - I look forward to trying it on this one!

Thanks Prema! Can you check your PM please?

It appears to be running fine, and I have gassed her out with the ol' can of air - I am going to try reseating with a different thermal paste. I mean, I have only heard of it happening - but maybe I got a bad tube?

Does anyone have a link for the stock 680m Clevo firmware? I need to go back to stock - thanks!

I asked this previously regarding the 680M but I recently bought a Sager NP-9390. Since these cards run much cooler than the 680m cards did, is it more feasible to game with mild overclocking? Thanks! (Also, I am aware to monitor temperatures and what not - I just want to know what others have experienced!)

That's great work on the unlock for the 780! Still waiting on the Sager 9370s to get support for the 780...Dear Clevo, FASTER! But meanwhile, I think this was overlooked (or perhaps no one knew) in my last post: Does anyone actually game with their 680m (I am running SLI) overclocked? Or just use it to bench? IF you game that way, what have you found to be comfortable? Or is it different per game? I have pushed mine for benches but saw the temps in there and didnt trust it for gaming!

Thats a Sager 9370, of course. Anyone at all? Also I see a lot of people here talking about lap coolers, those things never really seemed to help my temps not even by 1 degree C. The best move I made was making something to lift the back the machin abouthalf an inch. That brought temps down a little. Has anyone found a cooler that actually suits this machine? Thanks!

It's been a bit since I checked back in on this forum. Does anyone with a 9370 680m SLI actually game with any overclocking? I found my temperatures were too high to trust it before - so I was wondering if anyone else had any revelations or found a comfort zone I could aim for? If so, what vbios, drivers, and overclock are you running? From what I can tell of picking through the 200 pages here, a lot of people game at stock speeds. Thanks in advance!

Aw, that's sad! But understood. Any idea how I can maintain my XTU overclock through power cycles/reboots? I seem to have to load the program each time I reboot - or is this par for the course? I sent you a small tip for a beer on me! Thanks for all the help. Also, where can I twist arms for those hidden menus on a 9370?...haha.

So I used Intel XTU and pushed everything up 4 - everything seems smooth as butter. Hottest temp I have seen with benchmarks or stress tests is about 79C. So that seems great! Thanks Prema! But I have more questons! And don't worry, I will send some beer change your way soon! Just waiting on PayPal to correct an eBay issue - the ticket got closed today so I should be set soon =) Anyway, the values don't seem to be loaded on startup and I see no option to set that. With it running at that temp, I feel safe keeping it there. So is there a way to load the OC values on boot? Has anyone messed with ram overclocking any? and last but not least...I am not familiar with things like Turbo Boost Power Max and Turbo boost short power max. there is also the time limit, voltage, core current limit...is there any reason to change any of these values? I have only overclocked an old Q6700, i5-2500k, and i7 2600k desktop processor So this is a learning experience! So if there are any tweaks laying around out there that anyone has advice on, shoot them my way! Sager NP9370 is my poison...

Okay I installed the Prema magic - is there a guide somewhere or some pro tips to overclocking the 3740qm? Also, how sensitive is it's temperature? Like will there be a general overclock I can just keep or something I have to monitor being I am on a notebook? (First time doing all this jazz to a laptop!). Thanks!

Hello @Prema! I am fairly new to posting on these threads and keep toying with my new Sager e9370 =). I was curious, what are the benefits to running your bios over stock? Edit for clarity: I read the first post of the thread that tells me your changes. I am just curious what they actually benefit in newb terms? Ha!
