@Prema: Do you happen to have the updated EC for P650SG (1.03.06)? Supposedly its a fix for the AC1525 wireless card.
-
Benchmark with Prema Modded vBIOS and modified desktop drivers for P650SG:
+200 MHz (Core Clock) / +400 MHz (Memory Clock) / +30 mV
Things to note:
-Any higher on Core Clock would cause it to have a driver crash, most likely due to lack of power (180W PSU, waiting for Dell 230W to arrive with converter)
-Any higher Memory Clock would cause serious artifacting
-
@Prema: Does the GTX 980M vBIOS mod work for all 980M cards? I think I remember seeing a few from different manufacturers with the same 8GB vRAM. Just wondering before I make my purchase of the individual part.
-
It's in the OP and comes as part of the systems BIOS Mod.
I didn't see the P6XXSG last night... guess my phone needs some cache clearing. Thanks again.
-
@Prema: Not sure if stated, but do you have a vBIOS mod for a non-MXM version of GTX 980M? (I have the P650SG with the 4GB soldered 980M)
I am currently contemplating on upgrading my P150EM or just getting P751ZM and be done with the old one for the 980M... damn choices.
-
Anyone know if the Mythlogic 1614 Dia (Clevo P65XSX) uses the Sharp IGZO screen for 4K? Is there any seller for US for this particular model?
Really looking forward to:
i7-4870HQ/i7-4980HQ
GTX 980M
3 or 4K display with at least 70% matte.

I would highly advise to not let the laptop enter "Sleep Mode". That or disable options that allow keyboard, mouse, and plugging/unplugging to turn the system on.
I strictly use Hibernation only to avoid the machine from powering on (as I had a similar issue, except it didnt hit past 92C by the time I got back to it).
-
The laptop is still working great from my end... I wouldn't replace it until a more notable contender comes in that makes the GTX 680M completely obsolete. For now, it performs extremely well with little to no issues. I wouldn't sell it unless you're strapped for cash.
I see the prices varying between 1200-1800 USD.
-
I checked my temperatures and fan behavior for the W230ST with the latest BIOS and didn't notice anything odd with it. If anything, it turns on a lot less frequently. Though I do have a lot of changes made on my system so it performs exactly as I want it to...

@Khenglish: Think you can provide some images? Would help a few of us out if you can!

I hear about, that the 331.54 driver seems to be more stable for playing BF4.
My Girlfriend plays with the 331.65 driver and got Direct X crashes too.
Myself is playing on Laptop with an very old 302.77 Mod driver and it is stable (But slow).
At the Moment I got no other choice because of Upgrading my VGA and found no VBios that fits.
But stable. Maybe ist worth a try.
Funny you should mention this. I found that fix on my own a while ago when I attempted to force Shadowplay to work on an Optimus laptop (greatly failed).
Video provides proof and what steps I took to do it.
As for the general consensus about the game, its decent, not great or groundbreaking. Same as BF3 IMO and will not be as awesome as BF2142.
I did get BF4 for free however due to an EA insider working on the Origin client. The Premium service I had to pay for since its not part of Origin itself, but a DICE service (not EA). So I guess I got the cheaper end of the deal overall.

Hello everyone of TI,
Though this is not strictly a laptop discussion, both my current PCs are laptops running 128GB mSATA SSD and 1TB SATAII.
I have a question regarding usage of the memory paging file created by Windows and how should I set it up without impacting performance and creating issues on the PC.
Some time ago, I faced a memory leak issue in which increased the Windows page file to roughly 47GB (I have 16GB of RAM, so this value is somewhat understandable, but very dumb). I do not know how exactly is it ticked off to go that high besides the leak issue, and was wondering what is the general file size of this page file and if its even necessary.
Do not discuss the degradation of SSD lifespan as that is not important to this topic and I'm pretty sure everyone knows SSD's will last a long time even without the usage of paging file. I just wanted to know the important of this system and how it directly affects us end users who like gaming and performance.
If possible, put into layman's terms if you can. Otherwise, I'll have to make a few read-throughs to understand on busy days.

I'd like to join the group as well, considering both my laptops are Clevos. Currently fine tuning between performance and heat with further modified settings without use of undervolting on the W230ST. P150EM is still a beast though... no issues whatsoever.
-
I've tested a few and kept the -80mV as my default. For the multipliers, I've had them at 28, 26, 25, 25 in order from 1-4 cores active. This limits the CPU speed under load and does similar/same effect as undervolting.
For some odd reason, games tend to force the CPU to max regardless of my max frequency after modifying settings, so I just decreased the multipliers to help.
73-76C under heavy load when playing games like Metro Last Light, HAWKEN (High Settings; PhysX Enabled), and etc. at 45FPS+ (Not overclocked;would probably be a massive bump if i maxed the OC on GTX 765M).
@Prema: The fans...even under light load... make me cry D: There needs to be salvation for the fan profiles so it doesnt go to only just silent, slightly audible, and full blast. I swear...its as if those are the only three settings it has. Mines end up being on full blast most of time when running slightly heavy applications.
-
Just wanted to chime in and say that the 4702MQ with -100mv undervolting is providing me with very good battery life. I think we can go up to Razer Blade 14 battery level with proper tweaking. This machine is pretty awesome.
Also, with the latest version of XTU, I didn't have to disable fast startup, the settings stick properly.
Yep, noticed the latest XTU did that as well since the update a few weeks back. As for undervolt, it should only lengthen battery life if you were running heavier applications as it just decreases the amount of voltage in turbo boost. Another method is to decrease multipliers for a similar/same effect without lowering voltage.
-
Are you referring to the drop in throughput when the card is scanning for other APs or have you discovered another effect here?
I am asking because my roaming Aggressiveness is set to Maximum to encourage switching between my different APs when I move to another room.
It occassionally drops to 2 bars when it scans and that is a frequent issue. I fixed mine after setting it to lowest. You can also make it prefer a certain band as well, but I am not sure how well that works to lessen the spikes. Mines currently fixed with those settings.

The card does indeed work. I forgot which specific one of the two I have of the 7260 AC, but I'm currently running it on 5GHz wireless to achieve the AC speeds.
EDIT: Make sure to set your Roaming Aggressiveness to lowest so it would not cause spikes.

In almost all cases the logo and naming is the sole difference to the Clevo version...
I now remember why I despise the Clevo version.... "dat style note".
I'll have to bear with it until your modded one comes out or when Sager releases their own version. Never had problems with flashing different vendors so shouldn't be an issue at all.
EDIT: Oddly enough, my W230ST went up a full 8C since the BIOS update.I shall check if something is wrong since it used to idle 48-52C.
EDIT2: So before, when running all 4 cores, I could achieve the 3.4GHz frequencies under all tests. Now I can only hit 3.0 GHz on 4 cores, but 3.4GHz on 1 active core. Not sure why this is... even with throttlestop forcing 34T multipliers, its still at 3.0GHz. Temperature issue fixed itself... its back at 52C. I guess when running on battery, the fans clearly dont give a damn.
EDIT3: I might be switching back to my original BIOS... I want full control over all 4 cores again.
EDIT4: Further testing, benchmark tools WILL NOT bring my cores to 3.39-3.4GHz. However, playing games and doing CPU intensive tasks that aren't benchmarking or CPU burn-ins will bring it to those values on 3-4 active cores... the hell? Someone answer ;P
@Prema: You should kindly fix a version of the stock BIOS that doesn't have the cruddy Stylenote screen... I'll donate right away. Even a simple swap to a Sager screen would be nicer.
-
The slave card shares a heatsink with the CPU so temps are higher, that's normal...but 94c is too high, if you don't overvolt the card you should repaste the heatsink...
EDIT: Latest Stock BIOS & EC v1.00.05 for W230ST added to the OP
PW: premamod.com
ENJOY!
Is the Sager version out? Mine is already on Sager BIOS and I'm not sure if there's any significant difference between the versions on the W230ST.
-
Congratulations on your purchase, and I did exactly the same when I got the P150EM last year...
-
I'll be keeping a close watch on this thread. That boost from 680M to 780M is well worth it IMO.... And will definitely make the P150EM I have last plenty longer.

Sony Pulse Elites with Surround Sound 7.1 on. Wireless, but rechargable via USB cable (which I have a 3-5m cable for).

Looks like I've come with an odd issue...
Intel XTU settings does not save when I do a shutdown.... Been manually setting it back every time I power the system on after a shut down (it stays after a restart, go figure). Laptop hasn't crashed at all either.
EDIT: Fixed the problem...apparently a fresh install of Windows 8 has a "Fast Startup" option that instead of fully shutting down your PC, it sets it to a hibernation state. Only noticed when I attempted to shut down and boot back up that it said the PC was starting from Hibernation. After disabling "Fast Start Up" (Power Options->Choose what closing the lid does) and enabling Hibernation as a separate shut down option, the settings now stick. Retarded changes that I'm new to for Windows 8...

The one on the site hasn't updated. I usually get a response here via the alert system so it helps when I'm not always on the lookout. Same should go for him.
