  1. Excellent! I really appreciate the follow up on this. Too many times people ask questions, get what they need and leave no feedback. Sent with love from my Galaxy S4
  2. I don't own an AW, but I have read that one of the strengths is the ability to unbrick a bad flash. There are guys that keep older AW laptops just for that purpose. You might want to look into that first. Sent with love from my Galaxy S4
  3. Did you run any benches and if you did what were your scores? Sent with love from my Galaxy S4
  4. Here is one from a couple of days ago. I am also running at +100 on the GPU as well. I see some throttling on the GPU due to heat. These settings are no good for gaming, just benching. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7 4900MQ,Notebook P17SM-A
  5. I would be interested in the K5100M results. There are none on Futuremark site. Perhaps it is new enough that it isn't recognized yet?
  6. Yes, I use nvidia inspector. I tried to clock my memory at +1000 and it locked the machine. I had to do a hard power cycle to reboot.
  7. Good Lord! +1000 on the memory. I can only get to +500. At +510 my card crashes in 3DMark 11. From my testing I would say you are correct on the GPU. I can't get much out of it without throttling due to heat. I will have to look into some cooling mods for that.
  8. During my temperature testing I ran the laptop with an external display with the bottom cover removed. Applying pressure to the GPU heat sink did not change the temperature one bit. I tried the four corners and the four sides and still no change. Reading this thread gave me some ideas. http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo/5275-%5Bhardware-mod%5D-clevo-p150-p170-cooling-system-solutions-here.html At some point I will look into checking the flatness of the heatsink plate.
  9. I repasted with AS5 (what I had on hand) 2 days ago. I have MX-4 on the way. This thing was running 90c on stock clocks before I repasted, hacked out big vent holes at the GPU inlet and isolated the inlet air from the rest of the case. Man... Mechwarrior Online takes up 98% GPU at the match start menu. That's kinda crazy.
  10. I game at stock clocks, -50mv. The temps are in the mid 80's depending on room temperature, as you noted. Ok, the card won't clock to 993MHz at -50mv. I set it back to 1000mv and it stays at 993 now. <shrug> Running about 85c at the moment.</shrug>
  11. This is just an exploratory overclock... finding limits the best way I know how with my limited knowledge. I don't run games at these settings as it would indeed throttle due to temps.
  12. +90 core, +500 memory, +12.5mv core (1.0125v) 3DMark11 P9156, Graphics Score 9838 Peak of 92c on the core. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7 4900MQ,Notebook P17SM-A - - - Updated - - - Ok, thanks for the insight.
  13. +100 core, +480 memory, +12.5mv core (1.0125v) 6300, Graphics Score 7138 Peak of 91c on the core... kinda toasty. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7 4900MQ,Notebook P17SM-A
  14. Ok, so what IS generating the heat??? I don't mind doing the work, but I am unsure what to do other than what I have done (hacked the bottom of my case, undervolted, isolated the GPU intake air...) Those are all GPU related and have worked well. Is it the memory cooling? I noticed that the heat pipe for the memory is in front of the heat pipe for the GPU. So the air flowing through the GPU heat pipe fins are pre-heated by the memory heat pipe. Throw me a bone dude! - - - Updated - - - Since your temps are good you could try bumping up your voltage a bit (25mv steps) to see if it stabilizes. P.S. Thanks for posting your system specs. Please put that in your signature so we don't have to refer back to this post or ask you again.
  15. I think that is good advice unless they are the same money. If not, get whatever is cheaper. The 880M is just an overclocked 780M with better RAM (and more of it).
  16. The 880M is definitely the end of the line for Kepler. It is after all, just an overclocked 780M with more (and better, thankfully) RAM. After running dozens of test runs in Firestrike and 3DMark 11 I am amazed at how Johnksss kept his borrowed 880M running so fast and cool during his testing. If you flip over your laptop and look at the bottom cover you will see how restrictive the air inlet vents are for the GPU. This is what prompted me to cut mine out and isolate that airflow from the rest of the system. The CPU fan and other air inlets I didn't modify. I am guessing we need *some* airflow inside the case to cool off other components. I also blocked off a small section of the fan outlet as it blows into the heat pipe fins. There was a gap about 10mm wide at the corner of my laptop. Yours may be different but it's worth a peek.
  17. Yep, it is a nice boost. The way I see it, the 880M got a GPU overclock and the memory stayed where it is. If you look at it like that, you got a better binned GPU (running at 993MHz) and better RAM (according to Johnksss), so the natural thing would be to OC the RAM since the GPU is overclocked out of the box (once the vBIOS is unbroken). I might be looking at this from the wrong perspective, but that's how I see it at the moment.
  18. I am pretty happy with it so far. It runs my games very well on high settings. Just to clarify, when I said -50mv on the GPU that is with svl7's modded bios. This is 1000mv to start so I am sitting at 950mv. I edited my post above for clarity.
  19. I was going 25mv at a time. I am not an expert... the most I went was 1100mv. I was just producing more heat which was slowing the card down so it wasn't helping beyond that. - - - Updated - - - Win 7 Pro I was referring to hardware. I looked back and saw a 870M, but what laptop are you running it in? (Might help to add your setup to your signature.)
  20. I can't go +500 memory without crashing the driver. +135MHz on the GPU isn't a given without some voltage (and the associated heat). At least this is what I am seeing on my system. - - - Updated - - - What system are you running?
  21. I was reaching 90c running Firestrike and close to that running Mechwarrior Online. After cutting out the GPU air inlet and adding the foam to isolate the air in the laptop case from the outside air, I am able to run stock GPU clock (993MHz), +450 memory clock (2950MHz), -50mv (950mv) on the GPU and I am getting 75c on the GPU. I like that. My Firestrike score at those settings is 5929 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7 4900MQ,Notebook P17SM-A
  22. That is the issue I have been fighting. Right now I am running stock clocks and 950mv. I (very crudely)cut out the bottom panel GPU air intake and added some low density foam to the panel. This isolated the air intake from the rest of the machine. This actually works very well. I see a 5c drop in temps just from the foam mod. Running at -50mv is big help too.
