M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

Hey Mandrake, what are the temps of the QX9300 in 3.3ghz? And it is really stable? Can i just let it be with this configs, and will be no prob? Or it is recommended to me stay on 3.06 ?
Sorry for the bad english [2]

 

I actually run my benchmarks at 3.3Ghz. 3.2Ghz is what I run at all times and that has been rock solid. I haven't checked my temps in a while but I can run a benchmark to double check. It never gets near critical so I stopped checking.

Edit: Have you tried pushing your farther?

 

Oh, thx. I'm some kind of new in overclocking laptops, so this is why i ask that much. Man, i was just checking the price of the m17x in the USA website and comparing to the brazilian website. Here the price of it maxed out is about 2 times more expensive! Lucky my dad just bought it in USA, or he would be bankrupt!

 

BigX333 is a popular Brazilian member here and he's having problems getting it because of the price. I guess you just need to know the right people.

 

Oh, another brazilian! How nice!
Just a tip to BigX333 in brazilian portuguese, but he would know it:
Cara, o jeito é comprar de fora mesmo, possivelmente com algum parente nos EUA, porque aqui, é um roubo, uma facada! Ele maxed out é 23 mil reais!
... Sorry if brazilian portuguese isn't allowed here. ><

 

you can speak it in portuguese as long as you try mandrake's settings.


and we know what your saying lol

 

Well, i will try Mandrake's settings possibly tomorrow if i have time, now i will go sleep. Good night ppl []'s

 

Well... My problem is more related to import it since buying it here never was even an option .

M1730 price wasn't much different lol.

É pois é...

Meus parentes que não moram aqui estão todos na euro (vamos dizer que assim como eu minha família não é exatamente fan do U.S.A) o que destrói qualquer possibilidade nesse sentido (preço na euro é absurdo também).

Eu tenho/tinha alguns esquemas mas aparentemente o pessoal morreu de gripe suína porque não consegui a cotação ate hoje .

Ainda tenho uma marca na manga mas estou quase desistindo e montando um i7 com quad sli para mim.

Fallacia alia aliam trudit.

 

Eu tentei a conevt o que você disse a mim em google mas não saiu certo assim i não sabem o que você disse.

 

That was the intention

TIP: it's latin

 

oh yeah i would of never gotten it. lol

 

Yeah, what he said.

 

yes, cpu are oc too but cpu oc+gpu default works good.
i tryed 640,1000,1593 and higher. occt runs without an error but when i benched crysis or played any frist person shooter, i got slow downs... without oc i got no slow downs.

Have somebody the same problem?

 

I think i have hit my core limit -- 684 any higher and i crash out on 2nd GPU test in Vantage, grr....wtb more mhz...

 

well look at pman! looking good my man...looking good.

mandrake.... don't feel bad...i broke all the records and titles and stayed on top for about 6 months. and still hold quite a few gaming records still....but do you know...there we're quite a few ati guys saying i was lucky (make that trolling because at the time they wern't beating me)(when i finally started losing i was lucky)this and that....lol...yet it took them almost a year to beat half my records. and almost none of my gaming records, but did lose quite a few AA test (dmc4)....but then...it's all in what you know....

 

Thanks John I knew someone would back me up in this.

BTW, in your sig it says "High End Laptop - Waiting...." any details on this?

 

no problem

none at the moment... think i may just wait on the next gen laptop. im having to much fun benching my desktop.

 

Hey Mate, long time no see, hows things going at the moment?

Im trying to give Mandrake some decent competition but its not easy Mandrake is very very good at this

 

things are going pretty good at the moment. just checking into see what is happen over here these days.

and yes...i see you are getting closer and closer

being good comes with a lot of trial and error...you can't be good without it..

 

hehe just as i will evetually catch him he will get a score like 12200 and it will start all over lol

 

uh-oh, you must want something from me.

I have a new driver to test out tonight.

 

oh nuts....

 

meanwhile you are waiting for me to beat you run some other benchmarks. you have x run which maxes out vantage. and h run and some other runs that you can do.

also run 3dmark06 deflaut at max res.

also run wprime to see how well your cpu is at such a high clock to see if it's worth it.


also can you run 3dmark05 because it is cpu, ram, fsb base just to see how much higher it is.

scook9 has a high score I believe of 4400 with his [email protected] in 06.

quad has 4800 @3.2ghz

john has 4700 with his [email protected].

 

pfft, mine was 4500 don... and yes at a lower clock speed

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=11477225

 

If you're talking to me I'm not waiting around. I'm still trying to get 18K in 06.

 

As soon as I got my M17x I will be right behind you mandrake

 

mandrake what's some of your recent 06 runs?
I know your at 17500 have you been avraging around it or has it been up and down?

 

I am sure if he had higher he would have shared with us Don, he also said he hasn't optimized his machine for benchmarking yet (turned off all background crap)

 

It jumps around between 16.8 and 17.5. Vantage was much easier to work with. It was at least consistent.

 

You might be chasing a Clevo system by the time you get it. They were ganging up on me yesterday in here....you were no where to be seen.

lol!

 

Sorry haha, I have some semblance of a life on weekends outside of NBR (heresy I know!)

Talked to Dell dude in India on Friday, he said that there is a good chance my order will ship this week despite the 8/24/2009 EDD. If I get it before Saturday I will be so happy it will be ridiculous, going out of town for 10 days Saturday and would love to have that laptop with me.

He also hooked me up with refunded shipping, free next day air, and expedited at factory. He is working on getting my an Orion backpack free or cheap now haha

Long story short, hang in there, I'm on my way!

 

You need some backup, drake?

I am back, but with a paltry single 260 so don't expect any big numbers here

Can't WAIT until those 4870's come around.. lol

 

Well, sleey0, I knew it would only be trouble for me down the road if I didn't get the top graphics right out of the gate haha (your e-value code made that possible for me!)

 

I needed some good trash talking backup. It's just not my style. I know you could have handled it Sleey0...lol

 

Just got a call from my dell rep, she said they are shippign my system in 2 days, free next business day, and im trying to barter to get a free orion bag from her, and also a discount nebula red possibly.
O and mandrake ill be trying to copy your benchmark as soon as i get my system.

 

If it is shipping already, it is too late for the nebula red option. The backpack also may not happen, but on the other hand, you do have one hell of a CSR....

 

its still in production stage but i just got approved for expediated shipping and production.
yea if nebula red doesnt get in i can return it and have them do the nebula color on the silver chassis, but yea im working on contacting my sales rep for a free or discount orion bag. I did get a targus bag for $49 on ebay lol. My CRYO LX NZXT notebook cooler is coming as well from ebay
but would the 4 gig ddr3 with 1033 mhz bottleneck my benchmark?
didn't mandrake have 4 gig ddr3 with 1333 mhz?

I got my new artic silver 5 from ebay as well, for the oem qx9300 cpu.

 

Listen up, Clevo fanbois.... You mess with the bull you get the HORNS!!!
:::Que Moo - this is your part :::

Take your rebadged grabage somewhere else
*Disclaimer* This post was meant to be funny so any fanbois that want to complain - don't.

 

He overclocked his ram up to that, he got 1066 in the machine I believe

Don't get carried away with trying to get stuff out of dell, they have already been plenty nice to you, don't try to take advantage of them.

 

I have both types of memory and I've been using the 1333. The 1066 memory has some questionable latency timings at higher speeds but I don't know yet if it's better or worse for OC'ing. I put the 1066 memory in my machine last night and I was planning on testing it further.

 

lol! yes everything said has been in good fun. nothing hateful.

 

I have been mis-understood soooooo many times I should probably just add the disclaimer to my sig.. lol

 

Of course, im not like mandrake (god of oc) but i will try to be careful on the overclocking. I might get lucky on the oem qx9300 just like mandrake.

 

Lol yes. it was funny for us.

 

actually i believe i have the record don

heheh


regarding rebadged fanboi's -- thats it im off ! :cry:

 

Have somebody the same problem?

 

I've seen the issue with a driver but not OC'ing.

 

silly question but your not running hot are you?

 

i think that highest is 16800 but you were close to it. i like your scores. you were at 1280*1024 right?? that's the default.

it seems like a driver more then anything. i would try different ones and WATCH YOUR TEMPS.

 

i meant the cpu score

i have scored 16700 on the m17

edit: yes all at default
