I would urge you to stay away from any machine with a heat sink designed similar to my P750ZM.  It is a popular trend, but the design is unintelligent and ineffective. It does OK for a system run at stock clocks. If you plan to do any CPU overclocking, it will be an Achilles Heel.  It makes the machine more of a pain in the ass to work on as well. If you need to repaste the CPU or GPU, you're automatically doing both. It's stupid to have to disturb both if only one needs attention.

 

My advice: Spend the $175 on the better engineering and you will be far better off in the long run. Thermal management is probably the most important area to avoid compromise and this design represents a popular compromise that looks more impressive in photographs than in does in application.

Thank you sir @Mr. Fox 

as a broke engineer, i must agree stretching the already stretched wallet is better in the long run for the sake of keeping the components cool and healthy. The only thing that itch me is the fact that P870DM-2 can't do sli 1080 so why bother having it more expensive. However, if in the end i will pull the trigger on it, i hope @Prema guru will enlighten us by revealing that we can buy the "grid", another 1080 and fit it in P870DM-2 , or if DM-3 will have option for single 1080. because some people can't spend 4000$ in 1 shot. 2.5K now and 1.2-1.5K later is more reasonable  .  I will wait until that further notice of SLI-ability of 1080 in DM-2 or single option 1080 for DM-3.  I think resellers are abusing price of P870DM-3 for this 1080 capability as of now. Now what i wonder more is whether this 1080 in laptop can overclock past that 2.1GHz desktop barrier  

what is the maximum power consumption of gtx 1080 specifically on P775DM-3 and P870DM-2/3? I am getting good deal of 2398$ USD for P775-DM-3 and 2569$ for P870DM-2 both with i7-6700K and gtx 1080. Not sure which one is better

Dear @Prema lord guru, 1070 SLI vs 1080 SLI how many % performance difference? Price difference is 1000$ 

There is hope to get gtx 1070 SLI for 2819$ in xoticpc/gentechpc and 2469$ for single gtx 1080. Decision decision....

Just read first post of this thread.

hi guys, I have alienware 15 with 4GB gtx 980M. I know I am kinda late to the game. but i'd like to know how to flash the bios of gtx 980M 4GB for alienware 15. thanks in advance.

To be honest, Alienware laptop came from Clevo/Sager/Schenker in the old days

It was part of their gaming laptop lines but not for long ago dell has bought it and they got separated

so if you talk about quality build, Clevo is like the mother/father of alienware, that is why their essence when building a gaming machine is always similar or even identical

but normally the child could get better than their predecessor because it is more flashy, nicer looks, fancy lights, fancy price too of course

and when both clevo and alienware have exactly the same spec with each other, alienware is the premium, while clevo is a better value and they have same performance

there is no magic inside alienware regarding the components quality or whatsoever that might be better than clevo, they are the same, it's a branding for the richer to buy

330w.

I am having that one and it has reached its limit

I hope they would make 450W with smaller size in the future man

Yes, you can use my mod vbios for your laptop.

And if you have problem with CPU score, then try to use power supply (power brick) with more power.

what is the maximum wattage of power brick in the market?

The measly 180W power supply looks like it might the the culprit. My system uses up to 170W rarely with my overclocked 670MX in some games, so with your 680M overclocked to just a shade below my 670MX figure, then you'll be using 180W MOST of the time when playing games. I think you need to drop your overclock to stay within the 180W limits or beef up your power adapter, and if you buy a Killawatt meter you'll be able to see how much power your adapter is drawing from the wall.

sorry if it is not so smart question, but Is there laptop adapter higher than 330W (other than combining with converter box from clevo)

Thank you svl7

you indeed are the beast

i followed your guide and downloaded your vbios

so today I got this one

Hi guys, first of all I want to thank prema and svl7 for P377SM-A bios, GTX 870M bios and guide to flash the bios

thanks to deadsmiley and klem as well by giving me the clue to keep tweaking my machine

so today I got this one

This is the best I can pull out of my 870M SLI with both CPU+GPU OC

I suspect there is a little fluctuation in clocks as it seems like to exceed the 330Watt power limit

however, it is how it is.

and of course it's obvious, the 192bit bus + considerably lower bandwidth (compared to 880M) were the main cause why it is barely 16K on graphic score, although the gpu clock was high enough

Yes, you can use my mod vbios for your laptop.

And if you have problem with CPU score, then try to use power supply (power brick) with more power.

I solved the problem and guess what I got omg

thanks mate!

This is the best I can pull out of my 870M SLI

can somebody please help me with SLI GTX 870M?

I tried prema P377SM-A bios mod

the cpu could overclock although fluctuating

but the gpu is still the same as before bios mod

thanks in advance

Just found out that the I7 4810mq has been bottlenecking my SLI GTX 870M

this is with +40 mhz overclock lol

btw, I still don't understand why my physx is very low

I set max V, Max I for all option for 150Watt and 150Amperes respectively

it went 4.0ghz on 4 cores but fluctuating over time

using prema bios mod p377SM-A v1

any advice from seniors?thanks in advance

hi, how bout by using usb formatted with HP disk utility, can i still flash the bios?

Btw I have gtx 870M in SLI. sorry for stupid question, but do i need one or two vbios file?because it is SLI

thank you sir

Hi klem, i hope you are still around this thread

i have clevo p377SM-A with gtx 870M SLI

Would i be able to use your vbios mod to overclock?

also, i have problem with my cpu score, the same problem kingkaan has

please help sir

finally found it it here. I am the same irfan from forumnotebook review. tried to overclock my SLI 870M but won't past 75+ mhz.

I tried using NVidia inspector. the voltage in P0 state is unlock but not in P1

anyway, here is 3d mark 11 I could get. not too shaby for a system cost 800$ less of alienware 18 with SLI 780M that performs 5-10% faster
