Guest Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yes, and that is a delicate balancing act, too. It took me hours of trial and error to find what was best for mine. It would be a whole lot easier and have a better outcome if we were not so limited by the capacity of the 330W PSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted December 19, 2012 Founder Share Posted December 19, 2012 For our systems a 400W supply would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnksss Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yep, will want to do that. Ill let you know version details when its all up and running..@johnksss Damn, nice P score you have there. Very sweet CPU overclock. I will be needing some help to OC my CPU when its in the AW after i sought out the unlocked bios.. Dont let that stop you from getting those gpu's inline. . You dont need an unlocked bios for that, only an unlocked vbios. @Brian. Just waiting on the AW 3 pipe Extreme CPU sink cooler, should be here in couple days.. It came with 3720QM. Got everything else. Now is the time to practice. New personal record for 3DMark11...NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M SLI benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2920XM Processor,Alienware M18xR2 score: P14208 3DMarks Nice run there! Here's my personal best so far.

Balancing temperature, power draw and finding the right voltage.. Sent from my GT-N7000 So true Yes, and that is a delicate balancing act, too. It took me hours of trial and error to find what was best for mine. It would be a whole lot easier and have a better outcome if we were not so limited by the capacity of the 330W PSU. If it was easy....Everyone would be doing it... For our systems a 400W supply would be ideal. Would like it to be 400W's RMS. Here a new second place 3DMark11 score...

Clevorr Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Very Nice Mr. Fox.. I don't think i will be able to get as high as you 2 guys but you never know lol I have no clue how to OC my CPU in a laptop platform so i will have to do some study and trials and even before that, run the right unlocked AW bios and start the trials. GPU should be sweet as im gonna use the all famous Vbios that brings out amazing feats from the 680m,s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I see you tried to borrow one of my golds for a day. @johnksss - just helping you stay focused on things my friend. Teamwork! I'll never catch you, buddy. And if I do, it will only be for a few minutes, LOL. Students don't outclass professors... at least those that want to graduate with honors do not. GPU should be sweet as im gonna use the all famous Vbios that brings out amazing feats from the 680m,s @Clevorr - thanks, bud. You'll get there. Having a good vBIOS is a start, but there is a lot of work to be done. It's not a flash-and-go proposition. You will likely notice some immediate improvements, but the real results come over time, through trial and error, keeping track of what works and what doesn't, and trying new things until you get sick of trying.

Founder Brian Posted December 22, 2012 Founder Share Posted December 22, 2012 After much fiddling with my system and these Clevo cards + some great tips from my buddy @Mr. Fox I finally joined the 17k gpu and 14k overall club. Guess these crappy Clevo's were able to put on the big boy pants and join Dell: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2920XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P14215 3DMarks Of course thanks goes to @svl7 since all of us would be pissed about NVIDIA gimping these cards had our resident vbios genius not gotten passed their bullshit. Also props to @johnksss for keeping us excited enough to continue the chase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
