slarlac249 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 prima, your bios v1.1 for W230SS is still broken.ICC overclocking says "failed to initialize library" & ASPM still causes reboots and freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKid Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 OK... Did another few runs and here is what I found With prema bios at stock clocks:- the total power readings of the "MSI dragon gaming center" seem to be quiet accurate (I compared them to readings of my power meter)- the power consumption with premas bios is exceeding 245 Watt- with the stock ac adapter the GT72 is constantly switching to "hybrid" power - meaning that the battery is used in addition to the AC adapter to compensate the high power demand (this can also be seen in "dragon gaming center")With svl7s bios at stock clocks:- same story - in addition I even needed to throttle the power limit slider down to 50-65% - otherwise I got to a point where the GT72 throttled itself (the internal EC controler)With OC (both bios mods)- before I redid the paste job I also saw a lot of throttling when using any OC due to overheat (exceeding 87 °C)- with svl7s bios I needed to up the voltage slider higher than with premas mod to be able to OC (also I assume that this is due to different base lines - I didn't compare the actual resulting voltages)- overall OC seems to be possible with both but there is much more trial and error with svl7s bios and GT72 owners seem to need to lower the PT slider A LOT - lowering the temp target does help too but gives much worse overall scores / results- the power consumption in dragon center starts to show "AC" instead of any actual value during test runs - this might indicate that it is exceeding all limitsBottom line for GT72:- a stronger AC adapter might be needed - the GT72 seems to have "dell compatible" connector - I sucessfully tested a 240Watt ac adapter from dell - but it's actually shutting down a little earlier than 240 Watt (might be because its old) to protect itself compared to the MSI one , question is if the GT72 will detect the stronger power source and act accordingly- with the GT72 switching constantly to hybrid mode and thus also decharging the battery and possibly using up more recharge cycles I'm wondering if OC is a good idea for the long run at all- there doesn't seem to be much headroom in the GT72 for OC unfortunately because of the cooling solution and the ec-controler - I will still need to check if the stock bios is requiring hyprid power as often as the modded bios (UPDATE: See update)- for the GT72 we might need a "optimized throtteling" bios that does not cross healthy limits with a much lower power targetUPDATE1:Stock Bios - Stock Clocks:Did a few test runs with the stock bios and it seems not to exceed 210 Watt whereas the OC bios reached 245Watt (and probable more depending on what "AC" is meaning in dragon center).In respect of hybrid power I saw it only triggering once for a short time during my 3D mark runs.UPDATE2:Stock Bios - Max OC (which isn't that much +135Mhz GPU, +600Mhz Mem, +12.5mV). Hybrid power triggered more often and also for longer periods, yet still less often as with the OC mods (even if those run at stock clocks). 220 was the highest Wattage I've seen.Question is - why does Hybrid Power trigger at all - isn't this supposed to be a 230 Watt ac adapter (19.5Vx11.8A) ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickhe Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Go for it but before flashing checkout VBios verison in nvidia , because if it's a ceritain verison you have to flash the QHD bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesyndal Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 @Prema: Do you happen to have the updated EC for P650SG (1.03.06)? Supposedly its a fix for the AC1525 wireless card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee83 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 mostly no. there will be some cpu-hungry games that would profit from a stronger cpu, but in generall u should be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi everybody, someone you've installed the bios mod might say if you can enable intel virtualization mode vt-x unlike the original?thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slarlac249 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Check the vbios before , because if it's the newer one you need to flash the qhd verisonI reflashed and now the intel overclocking section works, the dGPU ASPM is stil not working though, laptop switches off and reboots if I open the nvidia control panel and click on the window with the global settings, sometimes it switches off and reboots if i open device manger, first the mouse goes all stuttery before the machine shuts of and then restarts.as soon as I turn off the ASPM under dGPU everything is fine, the first link state option works but the 2nd one doesn't, that cause the system crash.did a bit of research and found Poll: does PCI-E ASPM work for you? - nV News Forumsit seems it's disabled / hidden in many bios because it can cause instability / be buggy, doesn't work for everyone. so that's made me feel better now.
