Guest Posted September 20, 2016 I wonder if everyone that buys a new P870DM3 will be eligible for this? Loved GOW for PC (still play it from time to time) and glad to see if finally coming back to PC... where it belongs. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10s...ndle?ncid=em-ded-nl-156#cid=eBlast_GearofWar4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolane 69 Posted September 21, 2016 2 hours ago, octiceps said: GeCube? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. I remember they used to be an AIB partner for ATi (yes, ATi) Radeon desktop cards. I thought they were defunct for years. Edit: That Taobao link still shows 2000 yuan (300 USD) for the RX 480, at least for me. Compared to the 8GB desktop card, might be the most reasonably priced MXM I've ever seen LOL. MXM card has slower memory though (7GHz like DT RX 480 4GB). I thought GeCube is a small company, didn't know they have big projects before. Found out there are two product pages for the RX480, this one is showing 3500 Yuan, the one before don't know why it's still 2000 Yuan. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-c.w4002-10254001544.22.CFdHRX&id=538462606241 But anyway, the interesting thing might not be the inefficient RX480. Some users who own the old Clevo or Alienware asked the dealer about the possibility of making standard mxm 1070 or 1080. The dealer replied said it's possible if the order is big enough (assuming over 200 cards). Seems like this is a good hope for maxwell or kelpler users to upgrade, if the market is big enough probably will motivate the manufacture (GeCube) to make it. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that really sucks Redmond Monkey balls. If they don't do that, then I guess I won't be playing GoW4. I don't let that filth on my systems. I've got no Windows Store, Apps, Cortana, telemetry, biometrics, etc. I exorcised all of those demonic components at the WIM level prior to installation and won't be letting them back in.

Yup, and it also means I won't be playing Halo, as much as it pains me right now to watch Forge from the outside in. Great that MS' first-party franchises are finally throwing away the shackles of Xbox exclusivity and coming to PC. Not so great that they're locked behind the walled garden and being dangled as carrots in front of W10 holdout PC gamers. I'm staying on W7 until 2020 or until W10 becomes a usable OS for me, whichever comes first. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helixp 0 Posted September 21, 2016 2020 I'd say. I know my question is not necessarily related to this topic but maybe some users with P870DM and Prema BIOS installed can help. Are you guys using your notebook with NVMe RAID and ATA password enabled on such a configuration? Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 22, 2016 A really good friend just gave me an Amazon gift card, so I figured that I should start getting things in order for 1080 SLI. The way the die is made seems a bit more risky for Liquid Ultra, as everything is exposed and there is no support rim around the edge. (I am really puzzled what the rationale was for removing that support rim. It makes 1080 look like the cheap low- and mid-range GPUs without it.) So, I will start with Kryonaut to see if that is good enough. If necessary I will use an RTV silicon dam around the edge of the die if I need to break out the big guns with Liquid Ultra to keep it in line.

TBoneSan 112 Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Good boy scout there brother @Mr. Fox I got me some more Liquid Metal for the deliding ceremony. Running short of that isn't fun. So GPU is not a good candidate for CLU hey... I have hopefully successfully updated my order to the DM3 Single 1080 with Hidevolution. I'm interested to see how the cooling fares on my "gamer-boy ( )" single. Can't wait. I've been stuck using this ... jealous ?!

I'm interested to see how the cooling fares on my "gamer-boy ( )" single. Can't wait. I've been stuck using this ... jealous ?! LOL, no... not jealous of that. Yeah, that's definitely the way to do it. I try to always have more CLU available than what I need. I think I have 3 tubes of that, a Liquid Pro, 2 tubes of Phobya Liquid Metal, a Gelid and 2 or 3 ICD 24 tubes, and a partially used tube of Kryonaut, LOL. I'm a TIM hoarder. I've also have plenty of sheets of of less expensive thermal pads, but I figured why not go for the 11.0 W/mK good stuff. It looks like Pascal needs all the help it can get for thermals. I've never actually needed to use CLU on GPUs before and it's more expensive. I'll use it if I need to. I am a bit skiddish on the 1080s simply because of the way they are made, but proper precautions will avert the possibility of any mishaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 26, 2016 Oh boy, my thermal pad purchase has turned out to be more time consuming than I hoped for...

Sarcon.pdf Yes this seems to be true of aftermarket thermal pads from Fujipoly and Phobya in general, based on what I've used and read. Compared to the somewhat squishy and stretchy nature of stock thermal pads, the 6 W/mK and 11 W/mK Fujipoly I've had were hard and incompressible, with a brittle and powdery consistency when cut. I'd imagine the 17 W/mK ones aren't much different. With these, definitely a good rule of thumb to use as thin a layer as you can get away with. Apparently the XR-m is available in as thin as 0.3 mm, but I've only seen 0.5 mm for sale. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarcon.pdfsomething you can do is use modeling clay or something similar to find the precise, minimum thickness of the pads needed (between some form of plastic to prevent it from getting on components). That is one solution. They also have a type of puddy tim that can be used... Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the XR-m is available in as thin as 0.3 mm, but I've only seen 0.5 mm for sale. Having used various types of Fujiploy pads, mostly the 17.0w/mk in particular, I can confirm that the higher you go in the thermal ratings the more dense the pads are. The FP 17.0w/mk pads are dense, but still flexible and soft. However, there is not much give on them so one would have to make sure to size up the pads the best they can, otherwise if the application is too thick the harder density of the pads risk lifting of the HS...although I think it'll be okay and the VRM's would compress enough to where it shouldn't be an issue. I'll have full specs of the sizes for the P775DM3 here shortly. Actually I have them already, but am working on my review and it'll be included in there.
