chap

btt?

jsut flash prema mod bios and dont worry about surveys. those r just a waste of time

i d always chooose premas bios, as its 1 click installation

plus it keeps throtteling in furmark and so on so u cant kill ur card

+100mv on gpu and +50mv on cpu with raised tdp limit and the system is stable with 220w psu, so i dont get why the msi should demand for more power

edit:

and my cpu has almost never moren than 40-60% utilization in games/benchmarks resulting in a very low tdp even under 45w which gives the gpu a big big headroom

sounds strange, in my clevo with 3920xm with 4.2ghz and a little ov and with 980m +135mv ov i dont experiance problems with my 220w psu...

but i get crashes due to very high oc....mybe it s the psu that cant deliver enough power...which wuóuld be nice as i can oc further with a new psu but i guess its very unlikely as those problem just appear with very high oc

instead of 4x4 u should get 2x8, because 4ram always make the system more unstable and your commandrate will go from 1t to 2t

so id always recommend only 2x ram over 4x

what is modded in those drivers?

why dont u just get prema mod vbios? is the best out there and flashing is too easy.

ur card will boost the whole time, no thermal/power limit but still will throttel in afterburner oder furmark torture tests

cant thank prema enough for making my p170em take the 980m

i can get as far as +340mhz on top of the boost and +400mhz on vram

i wish the card would be better to overclock but im stoked anyways

i can get + 160mhz on top of the boost without voltage tweaks

my 7970m did 200mhz without voltage mod bios

but in the end the 980m is overclocked with 160mhz pretty exactly twice as fast as my 7970m with over 300mhz oc

really nice,

how did you get screw holes into the heatsink?

cheers

there is a dsr option in bf4 thou...but bf4 is just demanding there is not much possible over 130% resolutions even with overclocking

imho the gpu temp is not the problem on maxwell, as mine doesnt even get close to 80 or more degrees

the plate on my vrm and ram gets insanely hot when i run 100mv on my 980m, so i d recomend for now not even to go for 100mv as 24/7 oc... as long as u dont use an active laptop cooler or other optimisations

the problem also gets worse as the fan control takes only the gpu temp for the fan speed...so the better the gpu is cooled the worse it goes with the vrm and ram temps...

the clevo vrm and ram cooling is weak

well thats lame was looking forward to it as i play most of the time bf3 and my new 980m is really bored in bf3 maxed out when i limit frames to 65 its utilisation never goes beyond 60%

i cant find the dsr option in the driver?! im using 344.75

650 without vat

fyi in the T I marketplace there r 2 unused 980m for sale from sweden

cheers

can u upload some pictures of the heatsink installed and watercooled while running

curious how it will look

cheers

Clevo Germany

there you go.

for the installlation of the 980m u need bios and vbios tweaks

after ive installed it i m going to post how it s done

i have a 980m arriving on monday for my p170em, i was writing with prema about bios and stuff but atm he doesn t reply. but i understand that prema is a very busy man.

ill have a new thread opened by the arriving of the 980m or maybe tomorrow already

cheers

i need this mod asap ^^

prema, dont u get my privat messages anymore?

Clevo Germany

it s from germany thou, im pretty sure there will something in the uk 2

980m is 650€ without vat

impresssive work, there was a time i had thee same idea like u

but i wanted to go with motherborad mosfet coolers and special small watercoolers

maybe i think about this again, as my 3920xm now need +50mv for 4.2ghz, when it was new he made the 4.2 with stock voltage

it runs quite hot when i go to 4.4 or 4.6ghz, but games dont need that much power so tehre is not really a reason to do that

also my 7970 did onmy 50mhz more with +50mv which resulted in a lot of heat so i decided its senseless to ov the gpu

ill see how the 980m in my p170em will behave

p.s add some more pictures pls. some of the heatsinks instaled and generally more pictures, its too interesting

pictures or it didnt happen,

in that case there would bejust the limit wwhere the gpu takes way more voltage for very few mhz

give it ore juice, as long as the temperature is ok u can go up to 80mv or even 100mv, just depends on cooling

make sure u also raise the power target

have fun overclocking!

Finally got it flashed.....thanks Robbo youre help was great.

First run overclocked i think that its my limit as well everything more gives me crashes......so +230 is the max for me.

But still impressive for a 6 year old lappie......smile.

do you have tried overvolting it? as the 970m has a very low tdp there is a lot of headroom

i know i was just thinking about temp target and temp limit.

but i think 95° should be alright as one will only reach such temperatures in a very short timespan.

but with the liquid metal tim those temperatures are fortunatelly hard do reach

im not running furmark and such anymore as they only torture the gpu uselessly, even prime 95im using very seldomly.

ive read reports of the x99family like 5820 and 5960x that some cpu have been destroyed due to heavy oc and prime

im testing my components throught havy gaming sessions and tbh bf4 crashes quite fast with unstable oc.

even cpu oc i primed 2h crashed in bf4 withing 10min same for the gpu

imho the power supply of a laptop is not made for torture test, especially in the clevo which was never ment to be cpu oced to 80plus tdp

when i raise priorised temperature and raise the power and termperature limit, will the card still throttle if i hit 105°C?

whats the best driver right now and where can i get it for 8.1 64bit in german

on the nvidia site i only see the newest driver :/
