They sent me a new laptop now - because they found some additional problems - the sound card and few others. The screen still has those whiter horizontal lines when playing dark scenes games - but they appear only when the games run in full screen mode - if I play the games windowed (even if it is at 1900x1080 resolution) the lines don't appear anymore. So, I think this might be an issue either with the HD 7970M BIOS or with the Catalyst drivers.

Since nobody answered... I sent an e-mail to the MySN guys describing all of the above; Long story short, my laptop is in service right now at MySN. I will update this when I will have some news.

OK. Now I won't worry anymore. It's not a problem if everybody has it.... Can you use Throttle STOP on this laptop, or that's just for mobile cpus ?

My laptop gets quite warm in the left palm-rest area - almost uncomfortable. Did any of you experienced this ?

They had an April 1st joke about putting 2 Xenon Theoretically should be possible (they would fit into the thermal and power envelope) - if you give up one of the gpus - but this is a pure speculation

Mine was 2000 Euros -but I had the ssd from my old XPS

Thanks. I have so many questions about this laptop. My old one was a full spec "humble " XPS M1730 . Of course I want to extract the most out of it and as allways there is no such thing as enough..... 1.I don't know if I have the P570WM, or the P570WM3 - the P570WM3 is the one with nVidia glasses ? 2.I have experienced some problems with the screen/video cards/drivers : when I play games, and arrive at a dark scene (let's say a night map in CS Source, or the zerg creep in SC2), the lower 1/3 of the screen has horizontal white banding: there are a few horizontal lanes that come and go, witch are brighter than the rest of the screen. The best analogy that I can make, is like the screen is shivering. This is only in games as in Windows it doesn't manifest. I tried installing new drivers - it got worse than with MySN drivers; I tried disabling Crossfire - a little success - it isn't as obvious, but it still is. Do you have the same problems with nVidia cards ? 3.Would make a difference if I use Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra or Liquid Pro - wouldn't it corode something from the heatsinks ? 4. Is it possible with Perma Mod to disable 2 cores from the 3930K, and have more headroom with OC? Most games barely use 4 cores and I am not that much into video encoding, so I would be just fine with 4 plus the HT 5. The guys from the MySN told me they do not recommend putting 2133MHz memory in this machine.... Would it make cpu OC more difficult if I had quad channel memory ? I am not looking to have more than 4x4GB of 2133MHz RAM I appreciate for making time reading these posts.

Hi, I am new to this forum. Just received my XMG u702 from MySN.eu. This are the specs: 3930k, 7970x2 crossfire and 2x4GB of ram. Until now I have been keeping it at default settings. These are my scores in Vantage and 3Dmark11:
