Prema please tell me what the D5 Stepping is doing. I searched for it but without any results. Another question is. Does the version 'P570WM_10_07_PMv2b' also provide the bugfix of D5 Stepping?

hahahhaha ^^ is getting better and better.

after 13 minutes now...-> 85°C

man, this paste rocks!!!!

thats what i did today.. when i renewed the paste, it was still liquid. i replace it every month. i cleaned everything which is attached to the fans.

the difference is.. at my first test the temperatures goes up to 93°C within minutes.

now i get 90°C when i run the hardcore stressthest of kombuster for 13 minutes.

i have to wait 48 hours to see the best results of the new paste

today i bought GC-EXTREME

some tests showed me that gc-extreme is more efficient than arctic silver 5.

90°C seems to be the maximum temperature i could have achieve with kombustor (13 mins).

the efficient of the gc-extreme will increase within 2 day.. I'm waiting for that and then i'll report the results.

do you have intel i7 3970x as well? the point is my cpu is running hot as well.

but I will try arctic silver 5 =)

i have the clevo p570wm model. i dont know... its just crysis 3 which makes my video card boiling hot.. other games like starcraft just 54-56 °C

i dont know if my card is throttling or not because the game runs fluently. no lag at all.

what is the highest recommended temperature for the 680m?

@svl7 is it dangerous for my video card if i get 93°C at playing crysis?

680m sli

hehehehe.. i had the same problem first

1. step... get the right modified vbios.. (at the first post on the first page)

2. step... use inspector and start stress test.. you will see.. it should go up to your modified mhz

some games doesnt work with 680m at full speed.. thats why your gpu load is quite low even if the game is at max vcard performance

like starcraft 2 .... i get my 1000mhz rarely.

if you want to stress your video card.. just play crysis 3. let me know if you need SLI settings.

Has anyone tried to activate PCI-e 3.0 with Premas Bios yet?

there is a tutorial to add an entry to regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Video \ {GUID} \ 0000

add DWORD-32 "RMPcieLinkSpeed" (value 4)

or something like this...

i tried this on my P570WM, but it doesnt work for me.

okay prema told me that clevo has not activated pci-e 3.0 yet

i hate starcraft so much.. crap code.. not optimized for my vcard =(((

how do you guys overclock the 680m sli?

i used nvflash for the moddified vbios and i set vcard clockspeed +150mhz.

when i play starcraft II or any other games GPU-Z sensors show me the stock clockspeed, but when i use MSI Kombustor (running stress test) my GPU-Z shows me the adjusted clockspeed.

did i something wrong? why does the increased +150mhz just active in the stress test??

in 1 or 2 years hm....

i think - 30% up to - 50% within 2 years

i had this problem 2 month ago as well. try to loose the screw of your wlan card a bit. that was the solution in my case

does this bios also activate the turbo boost of the i7 3970x ?
