Zombiewarpig Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well I made the jump and flashed both my 880's. I can tell you that I did get around 1000 jump on 3dmark11 but I have no head room to oc my cpu/gpu. As soon as I try and make the slightest bump my system freezes on the first 10 sec of benchmarking. My twins are running about 5c hotter right off the bat as well. So I have pushed the computer to the power max with my 4910mq @ 4.1Ghz and 880m's with mod bios. But now I know that its as good as it gets and thanks for the vbios, I will donate as soon as I can:)NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i3/i5/i7 4xxx,Alienware 01W2J2P13763 36th place Any reason why 3dmark does not recognize my cpu? And there is no adapter mod for me is there? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksIf you have used up all the power available to you system about the only way to get it to go faster is to undervolt/underclock your CPU to free up some power. Then you can bump your GPU voltage a bit at a time until it stabilizes. Start with 25mv and go up from there. I would probably stop at 1.100v to keep the heat down.3DMark hasn't updated their software for the Haswell refresh so it isn't seeing your 4910QM. It doesn't see my 4810QM either.Your GPUs are running hotter because they aren't throttling. This is what you should expect to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiewarpig Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Shouldn't they throttle down when not under load though or are they meant to just run full blast 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be hitting too high power draw. Its just a guess but it doesn't hurt to try it. Generally speaking, when you are testing out overclocking a GPU, you should lower your CPU overclock or remove it entirely, tweak the GPU, then tweak the processor back up until you find the perfect stable point between the two overclocks. If that doesn't work, hopefully slv7 or johnksss or someone can help you figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathieulh Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 ok, i will try, thanksWithout oc on cpu , same thing.PS : single GTX880MThat's odd, Firestrike works fine here, I haven't tried with SLI off though. (although I did try watch dogs on single GPU)Have you tried reflashing the stock VBIOS and going into benchmarks again ?It could also be that your GPU needs a repaste, what temps do you get under load?

svl7 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Does that have to be? Is there a way to let it downclock when not used?It still downclocks perfectly fine when idling. See this post for example.the rest wont work , and at all games screen during games the screen flashes, as if something was not right, unstable ... the video driver does not know for sure, the Clocks? Settings? Temps?Is there no way at all to increase the power to the AW18? If Dell locked it down some knowledgeable person should be able to unlock it.If you wanna solder then there might be a way.

svl7 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 The ssid mismatch doesn't matter, as explained in the flashing tutorial.If your benchmark won't even start then it looks like a software issue. In your other post you said it crashes during the physics test... well, that's not gpu related either. What kind of PSU do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byrds6 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Guess we need someone that knows power and the schematics of the board to figure it out. The board itself should be able to handle more power just like the older 18s did. There has to be a physical limiter there somewhere that is keeping it from taking more. If someone figure out what we could add more power. Seems like a lot of the power issues was bad design and cutting corners thinking it will only need what they always needed.

svl7 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 The board itself should be able to handle more power just like the older 18s did. That's not for sure, I have no idea how thick the copper layers in the board actually are. Also it's kinda impossible for me to tell you what is required to do when I don't have a mobo to look at.
