  1. Hi guys! I bought this wonderful MSI laptop with 6820HK, 32GB ddr4 and 512GB (raid 0) ssd nvme and a GTX 980M SLI.

     

    This is my first MSI (I had a Clevo P170EM and P370SM before) and I would to know the procedure for flashing the gpus' bios and which bios I have to download.

     

    I flashed a GTX 675MX some years ago, so I need a refresh of my memory :-P

    Thanks for the update, heat is usually the main culprit  that causes throttling in notebooks unfortunately. You might want to look into a mod for the bottom cover if it's an older Clevo or asus .

    Santech G37 - Intel i7 4930MX Extreme Edition - 32GB Kingston Hyper X - Samsung SSD 840 PRO - Seagate SSHD 1TB HDD 8GB SSD - Crossfire X Radeon M290X

  3.  

    HAPPILY I HAVE SOLVED.

     

    More than one person told me to keep an eye on the temperatures. Honestly I had done a thorough cleaning not many months ago and I took the advice initially a little lightly, so I decided to do the surveys: I removed the door, I took two neoprene rigid bearings so that did rise from the back and that would guarantee more ventilation.

     

    I initially monitored gpu temp video cards and then with HWMonitor the CPU: With Star Wars Battlefront everything to the max primary GPU reached a peak of 101 ° C and then settle on an exercise of 95 ° C, the secondary GPU came to a peak of 87 ° C and then level off at an exercise of 82 ° C; in Rainboxw Six Siege instead multiGPU does not work, then the only primary card reached to 98 ° C peak and then stabilize at 91 ° C operating. The cpu instead came to 99 ° C peak, with exercise of 89/90 ° C.

     

     

    During the sessions there was no throttling by a hair practically. I decided to disassemble everything and to clean: Among the fans conveyed and applied it sink electrical tape to minimize the possible dispersion of the air flow generated between the fans: here he has formed a thin but dense srato of dust, a real carpet that was stagnating heat doing reach temperatures, door closed laptop, EXORBITANT. Canister of compressed air to the hand, cotton swabs, alcohol, and MX4, I repasted the gpus (not the cpu being delided where I applied the liquid metal and that does not suffer from dryness as the polymer clay), clean properly the fans and radiators .

     

     

    All things being equal I gained between 20 and 25 ° C on the gpu, and 12-13 ° C on the CPU.

     

     

    Good day!

  4. MY config:  look at my signature

     

    Hi guys, I have a very good PC and for quite some time, I can not play well. I am thinking of having driver problems I finally decided to format but the problem persists. I have windows 10

    Practically while playing at one of the three aforementioned titles (titles where it is good hardware power required, contrary to titles like fifa, europa universalis or Counterstrike) after a few minutes of game I have a fps, as if they were halved, and remain dropped until I restart the game, and then do it again.


    For example: BF4 normally 110/120/130 fps, after a few minutes 55/60 fps

    Star Wars Battlefront 95/100/110 fps after a few minutes 48/50/52 fps


    Rainbow Six Siege (I do not think the CFX works, also I use the Vsync) normally 60fps and after a few minutes  32/33/34 fps.

    It seems that doesn't work the Crossfire, resulting a drastic loss of frame, that remains. The gaming experience is horrible: shoot everything, a huge lag.


    I tried all the 2016 AMD drivers, I tried to disable the ULPS ...


    Help me please. :23_002:

  5. I've no problem with people wishing for stuff, but going against the laws of physics isn't likely to happen. Ever.

    You're doing the same thing everyone who buys Razer Blades is doing when you're asking for the most powerful, heaviest, hottest equipment in a thinner and lighter chassis than what's already available, while also getting a lighter, smaller PSU. While also asking for a larger fan, a larger screen in a smaller chassis and for it to be quieter in said thinner/lighter chassis, with a mechanical keyboard.

    Everything contradicts itself, unless you were expecting those things to be spread out across three or four different models.

    You are a little dreary, man

    just live and let live...

  6. I wish a clevo:

    with high res display no glare ( about 60% more than full hd = 3072*1728, a mid way between quad HD and 4K), possibily 90/120hz

    a full 18.4" screen size on a 17.3" chassis

    chassis thinner and lighter, with premium materials

    desktop CPU i7 Skylake 65W (the temperatures are important)

    desktop VGA GTX 970/980 (prices?)

    New durable technology of dissipation to limit the temperatures (an hybrid cooling like Sapphire Vapor-X bult in)

    larger fan and more quiet (low rpm)

    2 ssd pci ex 4x

    5.1 speaker with high wattage

    better built in mic, no bkgrnd noise, eco reduction, better input quality

    mechanical keyboard

    thinner and lighter PSU

  7. Italy:

    Santech G37 (Clevo P370SM)

    i7 4930MX Extreme Edition

    32GB Kingston Hyper X RAM

    2x AMD HD8970M Crossfire X

    256GB Samsung 840 PRO

    1TB Seagate SSHD (Hybrid ssd + hdd)

    Blueray Burner Pioneer

    Sound Blaster X-fi MB3

    Killer Wireless N1202

  8. If its the P370SM3 then you need a modded inf or flash P370SM (non-3D) BIOS to it.

    If it is a P370SM then its Plug'n"Play.

    The Chassis is exactly this

    Review One K73-3S (Clevo P370SM) Notebook - NotebookCheck.net Reviews

    I asked to the owner too, he sent an email to Santech about upgrade to GTX 980/970M. Their response was this (I will try to translate correctly):

    G.le Mr Giulio ,

    the different numbers refer to different chassis design so in your case 370SM is no difference of M / B between 1 and 2. Several revisions are 3 and A

    So it must be almost certainly a P370SM

  9. Sorry couple of weeks ago I was really busy catching waves:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]14172[/ATTACH]

    P370SM-A is the newer version

    P370SM3 the older one with 3D

    P375SM the older one with different design (LED layout)

    Yes you can upgrade your P170EM with GTX9xxM and by flashing my vBIOS and BIOS Mod it'll all work 100% without .inf Mods or throttle.

    Wonderful place seriously.

    However I am going to exchange my P170EM with that Santech G37 (so the Clevo P370SM"X").

    I would just to know if to upgrade thah P370SM"X" I need a vbios of yours or it's just a natural plug and play?

    thank you

  10. Dear Prema and others, a person is selling his Santech G37 SANTECH G37 (it should be equivalent to Clevo P-370SM3 ) @ about 1600,00€.

    this is the config: [Alghero(SS)+sped] Vendo Santech G37, i7 4930mx, Cfx 8970m - Hardware Upgrade Forum

    I value my laptop (Clevo P-170EM with i7 3820QM, 16Gb RAM, HD8970M, 480GB Crucial M500, 750GB WD) about 1000,00€, so we are dealing an exchange plus a cash adjustment on my part about 550/600,00€

    His laptop is newer than mine so I ask you 3 questions:

    1) Is it to worth it to do the exchange?

    2) Can be the Clevo P-370SM3 upgraded to GTX 9XXM or I need a bios of yours?

    3) I am going to buy a 29 inch 21:9 Monitor Ultrawide (2560x1080) and I would to connect it to laptop via HDMI. The Clevo P370SM has got too a thunderbolt port backward compatible with mini displayport 1.2. This mDP 1.2 uses the dedicated gpu? So can I play well at that resolution?

    thank you very much :sneakiness::sneakiness::sneakiness::sneakiness::sneakiness:

  11. @Lokdal yes that BIOS will return it to stock. smile.png.pagespeed.ce.HpCntQets-.png

    @ALL seeing the problems some people experience with the current unlocked Maxwell vBIOS, I decided to release this for the MXM cards after all:

    - Power throttle disabled

    - Over-voltage slider enabled (up to the maximum of 1.2v)

    - Activated thermal slider (to keep it cooler if desired)

    - Core overclock slider raise

    - Thermal protection activates at 87c (at this point it'll throttle in order to protect the system)

    This vBIOS uses stock clocks and voltage and also keeps the stock Turbo functionality intact unless, You decide to overclock/overvolt.

    It has been tested over the past 2 months and has proven to not cause any problems on the following CLEVO P-Series systems:

    P15xEM

    P15xSM

    P15xSM-A

    P17xSM

    P17xSM-A

    P370EM

    P3xxSM

    P3xxSM-A

    P570WMx

    P75xZM

    P77xZM

    While it theoretically works for all 8GB MXM versions on systems other companies, it is known to NOT fix the throttle issue on Alienware!

    Prema Mod vBIOS for CLEVO 8GB MXM version of GTX980M is now HERE in the OP!

    (Use NVIDIA Inspector for OC/OV)

    ENJOY! :)

    EDIT: Will add 6GB CLEVO GTX970M MXM version later tonight

    And the P170-EM?
