is it possible to change fan profiles on p370em with two 7970m's? i'd like it to turn on earlier..

freesync / g-sync support would be cool

definitely this and

+better/more professional heatpipes (ie alienware) , better heatsinks

+open bios

+keyboards!! i'm mean man... just look at clevo and on others

+clevo graphics card soldering better quality... ehhh

When you repaste, check airflow, close gaps around heasink and fan with i.e. aluminum tape (heat resistant) Tt wont corrode on copper because of glue (checked many times).

In case someone have similar problems and found this

1. check voltage on your power adapter - it should be stable i.e. if you have 19,5v it should be stable within 19,45v-19,55v. If it goes wild like 17v 18v this is it

2. remove battery, power adapter plug, swap ram, run it with first than only with second ram etc. Remember to turn it off and remove battery when inserting/removing anything

3. listen to sound signals before post (thats obvious, check the net about those signals meaning)

4. sometimes there's some cold soldering in the power plug on the motherboard and it needs to be resoldered in older notebooks (it's not exactly running fans like reazerix wrote - its just sometimes not starting but its very often found on older machines

if i remember anything more i'll edit this, good luck

imho, those mods r completely useless unless u always have a open bottom and a laptop cooling pad.

otherwise u just put heat into the system which has never been wanted by the designer.

if you close the bottom cover, the gpu fan and cpu fan will start sucking the warm air from the cooling pads which will result in higher temperatures than befor.

so putting heatsinks on the gpu and cpu heatsink is contraproductive

Exactly. Read about heatpipe physics, its very complcated (and i don't feel up to fully explain it, there are books written just for it).

Heatpipe has been designed to transfer heat between its warm end and cool end. It's often filled with a liquid that turns into a gas in high temps. Evaporation and condensation is significantly more efficient than conduction of heat through metal. Aplying heat sinks on hot end of heatpipe (and even in the middle!) you're doing two things. ONE making heatpipe working inefficient contrary to the design. TWO - make heat spread inside case (make little change in cpu/gpu temps and make all other chips inside case hotter). All in all much worse temps for everything, worse heatpipe efficiency and little better temps on cpu/gpu. Its not worth it.

If you need to make it better, you should add aditional heatpipe and make heatsink biggger (on the cool end of heatpipes).

Sorry for my last words but this STUPID ideas are comming over and over on different forums over the net for years. Asus GR forums, Clevo forums, alienware - over and over same thing.

Do not do it unless you want to completely change notebook design, open the case permanently and use external fan etc.

EVE Online! Nothing comes close...

look at clevo lenovo, maybe samsung. I have p370em from clevo and i think it has good price/power ratio. Lenowo's are nice with strong GPUs but look for one with good 4 core processor, dont buy 2 core from intel
