Founder Michael Posted August 3, 2012 Founder Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hardware is pretty sweet, not sure about the SSD though, isn't it Sammy ? I know it's reliable, but you can have much better performing SSDs nowadays. Also, regarding the Bigfoot killer, make sure you check out your DPC latency with it's software installed. Other than that - congratz on a killer rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joluke@inphtech Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah mate the SSD is from Samsung.. a Samsung 830 Thanks! I will review it when i get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted August 3, 2012 Founder Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have the PM830, it holds up pretty well in performance. Maybe not the fastest out there but its also one of the more reliable drives and more than enough for most people. Congrats on the new system [MENTION=4779]zylor[/MENTION], that setup will last you a while and if you've read our 680M Performance Review then you know that GPU is a beast. What made you pick the 3820QM? You'd probably see no difference if you went with a 3720qm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made me choose the 3820QM is that since this laptop was offered i have chosen all the best components ehehe Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joluke@inphtech Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 3920xm?10char The difference from 3820QM to 3920XM is minimal.. and since 3820QM has the clock multiplier unlocked i can easily OC'it to more 400Mhz easily achieving 3920XM speeds So by doing this i spare 700€ for the 3920XM Edit: Specifications differences: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/844/Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_Extreme_Edition_i7-3920XM_vs_Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_i7-3820QM_(BGA).html The difference is only the clock speed which can be easily achieved by 3820QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted August 3, 2012 Founder Share Posted August 3, 2012 3920xm?10char Yeah typo I'm on my phone. The difference from 3820QM to 3920XM is minimal.. and since 3820QM has the clock multiplier unlocked i can easily OC'it to more 400Mhz easily achieving 3920XM speeds So by doing this i spare 700€ for the 3920XM Edit: Specifications differences: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/844/Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_Extreme_Edition_i7-3920XM_vs_Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_i7-3820QM_(BGA).html The difference is only the clock speed which can be easily achieved by 3820QM If you're getting the system for free, who cares about the price? And a 3820qm is locked, not unlocked. It's the xm with the unlocked multiplier. The 3820qm is a waste of money.

svl7 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not exactly... the 3920XM has an unlocked multiplier whereas the 3820QM can only raise the multi by 4... a properly cooled and overclocked 3920XM will simply destroy a 3820QM.However, if you mainly want to play games the 3820QM is still an excellent choice.EDIT: Ninja'd by phone Brian.

iaTa Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 P150EM here and just swapped from a 7970M to a 680M due to AMD Enduro issues. The 680M is running so much better than the 7970M and I haven't even started with the OCing yet Oh and also have a 3740QM running with XTU at 4.1GHz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
