P370EM 2x680m throttling problem


anos

Recommended Posts

3D Mark Vantage is very high for me (P40k+) but 3DMark 11 is very very low (P9400). nVidia cards seems to be throttling when running this benchmark, how i can solve the problem?

310.70 WHQL Win8 x84 and 80.04.33.00.10 vbios

i know there are 2 modded vbios for this card, it's possible to flash other version of vbios too? are them sli enabled? (80.04.6x.xx.xx or .01)

how it's possible to manually mod the vbios? there is a tool? :)

My results were similar to this, 39K with Vantage Free but 11K with 3DM11, so I'm also I'm looking into the modified VBIOS option specific to the P370EM/4GB 680m's too.

The threads about flashing VBIOS in the General Notebook forum looks like where the action is going down for these cards around here, interested to see how far these cards can go with these P370EM's, but I think the user Clevorr has already been down this route, might be better checking the 'Using your 4GB GTX 680m to its safest and full potential' thread, or the 'NVIDIA Kepler VBIOS mods - Overclocking Editions, modified clocks, voltage tweaks' by the looks of things so far

Use the modded vbios and it won't throttle. I have the same Clevo 680m in my Alienware as you do your system and I hit close to 17k gpu.

Yep. Same with my P370EM, after i flashed that amazing vbios the 680m,s never throttled again! Was so easy and soooo worth it! ;)

I ran 80.04.33.00.10 and worked flawlessly, not a single problem. My scores are below and best i could do on the Clevo was 978mhz on both cards Stock voltage! ;)

thank you everyone for point me in the right direction, i'll try ASAP to flash a modded vbios and will report back!

an other question:

is 310.70 WHQL ok for overclocking? it seems that nvidiainspector oc is never activated (it show the max freq, but oc freq is never reached)

Does the single 680m on a p370em have the same issue with throttling?

You will throttle if the cards are going above 92 degrees no matter what but that's kinda a good thing as those temps are not real good. YES, single card still throttles with the manufacturer standard bios its a power saving and safety feature..

Ok, I've flashed Clevo 680M 80.04.33.00.10 oc revised by slv7 for both cards

It's normal that nvidiainspector show "INVALID BIOS"?

Also, the card still throttle (at stock speed too)

How it's possible to stop throttling?

I tryed MSI ES FD bios but it show artifacts, it's not good for my card

Dude you're reaching 93c which is dangerously high and you're testing with furmark which is a gpu killer. In addition the 680m has throttling built in for furmark. Use 3dmark 11 for testing.

ok, with an i7-3740QM with 41x 40x 39x 39x turbo multiplier and 60watt limit, (in full load they throttle from 3.6 to 3.9Ghz), 32GB 1600Mhz, and 2x680M with Clevo 80.04.33.00.10 bios oc revised by svl7 (freq are 954/2399) i can do 45k+ on vantage and 12k+ on 3dmark 11, not bad, but people on Alienware r18x2 can do even better on GPU score using Clevo cards, why?

Is there an overvolted version for Clevo 80.04.33.00.10 bios?

Yes there is an overvolted version, I'm not sure if @svl7 has released them but a few of us have them. Ask @svl7 and he might release it.

1. because the high clocks you see are overvolted vbios,s and 2. the M18x has better standard cooling capacity..

Right now I'm running 960/2400 stable.

Temps between 78c-80c.

Running the P370EM.

i73740QM

16GB DDR3-1600

128GB SSD, 750GB 7,200RPM Data

SLI 4GB 680m

Around 12.5k 3dMark11 (Graphics around 14.5k) and 35k Vantage.

I'd like to hit 14k and 39-40k if possible.

Was thinking about loaded the OV bios but 80c, while healthy, is getting warm.

Thoughts?

I actually did some research and it seems that I have about 7-8 degrees to work with. I'm not comfortable with the temp. going above 88-90c consistently. Will load the OV BIOS when I can download!

@anos: How did you achieve 45k+ in vantage? With PPU on?

I'm asking because I have i7 3840 with 42x 41x 40x 40x multis, 990/2250 on GPUs and best I can get in vantage was 36861 with PPU off.

i have the same setting as yourself and i cant reach that score but i am on stock biosi7 3840 with 42x 41x 40x 40x

You need the Modded main BIOS too, to get your CPU up to task! >>> http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo-sager/3119-premas-bios-mods.html

Prema, I'm a pretty experienced OC'er, albeit working with desktops.

Right now I'm using Intel's Extreme Utility and was able to up my multipliers and adjust my memory timing to 9-9-9-24-2T.

Is there any reason I need to be downloading your BIOS update if I've done the above and I'm running an I7-3740QM?

Thanks!

You will gain for example extended CPU Turbo Times and 1T. Also your 3740QM should already have 4 extra multis in XTU irc...

What's weird is that I went ahead and ran 3DMark11 with the OV Bios. Temps didn't exceed 78c and my score went down! Almost looked like it was throttling...Used GPU-Z to monitor. Very strange.

I tried reloading the non-OV Bios and scores went back up to the normal 12.5k. Scores dropped to 11.9k using he OV 1.050 version. Tried the 1.025 version with no dice as well.

Core was at 1020 vs. the 980 I was testing with the non-OV Bios.

Wondering if the updated 320.18 drivers are the issue.

Messaged slv7 to see what's up!
