Are there any news about the compatibility the old P775DM/DM1 with 1060/1070 and specially 1080 gtx? My reseller said that 1080 will not fit in old P775DM/DM1. Is this true?

Clevo have now listed a P775DM2G which sports a 1060 or 1070 and they have a P775DM3G which has the 1080. So there must be some other major difference or they would just release a P775DM2G with a choice of 1060, 1070 or 1080.  I would, therefore say your reseller is probably guessing correctly on the 1080 not fitting.  Have you asked them about the 1060 or 1070?

Is it possible to add negative offsets to CPU voltage in the latest BIOS?

 

I had been doing through through Intel XTU when running the 6700K at 4.4ghz.

 

Wanted to ideally configure everything through the BIOS.

 

Disappointing news for you I am afraid. Although they have included CPU Voltage Offset in the new BIOS, the available range is only on a positive level (0 - 500mV).

How are you guys getting on with this laptop now? I've been hovering over the trigger to get one but I can't help but think I may be missing out on the 1080m if I do. I've seen the P775DM2-G has been revealed with the presumed 1080m.

 

I hovered over the trigger for a while too and it has been a bit of pain getting it working to a satisfactory level. But it now works very well. The latest BIOS seems to have ironed out some performance issues and adds a few new OC features.

Just updated my PC Specialist BIOS to 1.05.09, after updating the EC's . There are now a few extra menus in the BIOS for overclocking which have appeared since 1.05.05.

The replacement screen also exhibited backlight bleed to the bottom on the left-hand side. Rather than send it back again, I decided to inspect the screen assembly for a cause and found that without the bezel there was no backlight bleed. It was infact the bezel pinching the screen in this area which was causing the bleed.

Following a chat with the supplier, it was decided that the only solution was in placing carefully sized adhesive foam packers within the void to alleviate the pressure on the screen caused by the edge of the bezel. After a bit of tinkering, I had 100% success and now have a backlight bleed free laptop screen. Building up the depth of the packers with layers of thin strips was the key to finding the right thickness without causing the bezel to noticeably bulge.

Hi, recently purchased this beast and loving it! Does anyone happen to know the size for the bottom panel screws?

All of them are M2.5 x 5L, except for the middle one which is M2.5 x 8L...  I only know this as mine turned up with a screw missing and I had to double check in the service manual when they sent me out the M2.5 X 8L.

This was a defective screen and it has since been replaced under warranty.

I am beginning to ask myself that question!

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced issues with excessive backlight bleed on their Clevo laptop?

The panel is a 75Hz LP173WF4-SPF1.

@fejerm who did you buy yours from? I have some issues with backlight bleed but really do not want to fall foul of this monitor issue you and @snowpepsi are having, if I send it back for a screen swap.

I remember reading somewhere that the only difference between the SPF1 and the SPD1 is the connector location or something to do with the connector. Though , comparing your screenshots makes me think the 60Hz SPD1 (LGD046C) is simply not G-sync compatible, whereas the 75Hz SPF1 (LGD0469) is. Attached a screenshot of my moninfo dump.

Did anyone try the new bios (1.05.06) yet?

What does it actually fix?

 

 

1. System BIOS 1.05.06 for P775DM1/P775DM1-G only.

2. Update CPU micro code.
3. Update ME firmware to 11.0.1.1001.

I have not tried it yet, waiting to hear what PCS come up with following their chat with Clevo.

Also there is a confirmed fault in the current bios version which means the machine can't properly get to 4 - 4.2 GHz. They are now working with Clevo to get that fixed, after which they will test and issue the bios update to me so that's good news.

Just got mine from PC Specialist, which BIOS do you currently have?
