  1. F****d it up big time indeed. I'm jumping ship over to a desktop after this
  2. Not likely. Every thing was running fine with max temps of 66 degree. Was writting a report on microsoft word before my screen went blank and it couldnt be detected anymore
  3. Looks like my gpu died again. Same tell tale sign from before, could not detect any discrete GPU.
  4. @J95 I have tested the 347.25 QUADRO drivers with impressive results. However, OC is broken on this driver as EVGA crashes upon launch and nvidia inspector's clock reverts back just like 347.09 with nv_dispwi(1) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Alienware 041W46 with nv_dispwi(2) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Alienware 041W46 Currently sticking with 344.91 / Prema's vbios mod for max stability and occasional overclocking
  5. @Player2 I can confirm that they did not provide any disk or whatsoever to me. Mikecacho was provided with one and even the drivers on it were stock drivers so it is highly impossible for them to put in vbios files which are much more tedious for end users to flash by themselves. And as for @davenam I'm very certain that your gpu is dead if it is not detected by bios. Happened to me around 30 minutes within installing my first card.
  6. Oh well, guess i'll live with it. Shouldnt be too greedy about it i guess
  7. I've noticed that I can only set the fans to a specific value ( 0,2000,3400 for GPU and 0,2000,4600 for CPU). Is there any way to alter this?
  8. I see. You just solved one of the few dilemmas I had ever since I purchased this AW 17 2 years ago
  9. I usually schedule hwinfo to run with task scheduler. Do I still need it after inputing that particular line?
  10. Edit: Nvm I found it! Wow.... I have never once seen my AW 17 reach 30ish degree ever since last winter...
  11. @thegh0sts The temps would be much better too if we can actually access the GPU's fan via hwinfo. I noticed that the GPU fan automatically turns off once it reaches 45 degree celcius or lower and would only boot up back to 2000rpm at 50+ degree celcius as well as 3000+rpm @ 70+ degree subsequently. Although it may lower down the fan's volume it does get on my nerves that i could not control my GPU's fan independently. @J95 Physx score was somewhat throttled on that one because I installed the drivers wrongly, this is the correct and current score NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Alienware 041W46. And yes, this is with 240w PSU.I will upgrade to a 330W PSU as soon as Im back in Melbourne again as I am currently in no rush to do any heavy OC. Just the stock performance is sufficient for the moment. By the way, the 9k+ physx score was on Fire Strike, not 3dmark11. Here is my current score for fire strike at stock http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5601856? The overall combined score is lower because I skipped the initialy Fire Strike demo as I was only interested in knowing the graphic and physx score.
  12. After experimenting with prema's vbios mod for awhile I can conclude that prema's vbios runs a little hotter than others due to its extra .062volt. My GPU bumped from 71-72 degree celcius to 73 degree on max load and I suspect it might go as high as 75 if I left it running for prolonged period. Bear in mind that this 73 degree is achieved by overclocking the card as well and under Malaysia's hot climate ( Which I am currently enjoying my holiday in). The temps are otherwise still acceptable considering that 75 let alone 80 degree is still within the safe range especially if we are to overvolt/overclock the card.
  13. @Player2 a member from NBR reported his new AW 17 R2 experiencing throttling issues. Best to steer clear from the newer series.
