Hey decool, where are you located, I've a 3940xm (sr0us) to sell, I'm going to insert in NBR forum too soon, make 4,3Ghz at 0 Flex

how much ?

I guess you launched EGVA before the physics test ran right?

yes that's what i did

GPU boost automatically adjusts clocks to stay within 80W

so is there a way to bypass this control or at least increase the power limit (let's say to 90W).

500 $ lol

I don't think so, there is clearly a power throtteling

that was captured with EVGA when FS is on

also i can't find why should i change my CPU, I compared it with other newer CPU and they pretty the same

If the gtx 1060 really draws 135W, then we would see thermal throttling on our systems and high temps (m17x r4 is designed to cool 100W cards). Hwinfo shows a power draw of up to 80W.

I'm on a 240W power supply with no problems just for reference

try using msi afterburner with fire strike and look at the hardware monitoring (right side). you should see power limit.

mine has many spiks during benchmark

What is the GPU load when running Firestrike combined test? If it's not close to 100%, it means you're hitting 240W PSU limit

you are right An0npl4y, that was PSU holding me back.

I overclocked the CPU to get more fps for my game (The Elder Scrolls online) cause it seems thats it was CPU dependant and rely only on one core :/

So when i tried Fire Srike i got 9k score (vs 9k5 when done for the first time).

I switched back to default XTU, stopthrottle and the bios setting for CPU overclock and with a litte OC on the GPU i get 10k score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/20272148

but the problem still. how do I up my CPU to make CPU dependant games run better.

I checked out and find that mine was not that different than an i7 6700hq

Some told me in the official game forum that ESO is CPU dependant.

So maybe it's because of that.

Can you post some screenshot for understand better and comparison with my 1060?

here the asked file

looks good ?

HardwareMonitoring.7z

hello,

I'm facing actually some power limit problems with my gtx 1060.

i've noticed  it while playing ESO with msi afterburner.

I have a dell PSU 240 W. 

it's still ok even when you missed up your heat sink mod

Fan on max controlled by hwinfo.
Max GPU temp 57° at 22°ambient.

wow nice temperatures, what is your secret ?

I've made the same upgrade on my m17x r4 and i have 67 °C when using fire strike.

They are not needed to have a functional system, but i prefer a clean device manager.

So it's on you what you prefer.

ok

do you know any tool to monitor the VRAM temperatures?

1 minute ago, Zoldago said:

Most of the time one is the freefall sensor driver and the other one is the OSD driver. Have you installed those driver?

No, do I need to install them ? or it's simply a waste of space ?

here is my fire strike 1.1 benchmark 

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/20042440

time spy 1.0

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/20042703

CPU and GPU temperatures

I've solved the missing hard drive problem,

i also installed the driver for the 1060, 

i'm downloading the 3dmark tool, i'll keep you informed 

any suggestion for temprature monitoring tool, fps ?

Yes i see it 

Yes all windows updates done 

There is also 3 unkowen devices in device manager (nvidia stereo controller + 2 unkowen devices) that i need to search the drivers.

What drivers fo i need to install please?

Yes i see it but i'm unable to access it

Is there a way to copy all the data on an external hard drive using cmd commands?

Yes i just did that and now i'm on windows 

I have the ssd drive on which i installed windows and a second hard drive with mbr partition for my games.

However, that one doesn't appear

From what I understand, your problem is that you set display to PEG, and your GPU doesn't have UEFI compliant drivers in its vbios. You need to set primary display to IGFX and reboot. Then, you'll use iGPU and you'll be able to disable legacy mode and reboot again. This is when you'll be able to set primary display back to PEG again. And you won't be able to reboot with this setting, that's when you'll put the 1060 in and successfully boot with it.

It worked as you said, thanks man you are a savior.

So to make it work, i changed the peg to igfx then change uefi and disable legacy after then go back to peg (i didn't need to save or reboot for that to work)

However I cant install windows 10 on uefi, it tells me that i need a gpt partition.

I don't understand, i made a usb drive boot with uefi and gpt. Why can't i install that ?

What are the settings in Advanced / Video configuration / Internal Graphic device ?

here's the pictures 

Ok unlocking bios done on A11

However i cant get the windows working

The load legacy option rom (LLOR) can't be disabled neither

Edit : windows is working now but no LLOR disable

Ok I'm missing the first 2 files 

The link provided for dl dos version of fpt is broken 

Can you put them in share please or send me the valide link where you found them

i found it
