    Yo yo again m17x users.

    Some of you might have seen my post about 7 beeps, and after another MB change and CPU change they still havent fixed it, Will get yet another MB change on monday, but have my doubt it will work.

    So i started looking at the R4, the R3 is not available anymore.
    Meaning if it breaks again i get a R4

    Anyway to my question, does the 675m throttle at 78c or not?
    Know there might be a post about this before but my damn iPhone wont let me search. :(

    Ohh and any news on when 680m will be realesed? :)

    Have a great day :)

    all nvidia cards throttle at 78c. so the quick answer is yes.

    The 675 doesn't have a power throttle at 63c though

    Do you mean in the R3 they all throttle? Mine don't in the M18x. I've pushed them to 90°C with no throttle.
