Ok boys do my card is dead. I tried everything suggested and it still had artifact issues.

Still my brother will be happy one my new one comes in.

Not meaning to be cheeky but what are you going to do with the card I'd like the chance to see if I can fix it lol I have a heat bed to remove GPUs and other large chips lol I bet urs wasn't level that's probably the reason I would love to see if I can fix it for u ! Shame to leave it like that

 

I'll be honest this thing has been nothing but a pain. It's death hasn't even started. I'm going to have a time shooting it up.

I'll gladly start a petition for you NOT to do this. Better to get some money out of it then destroy it.

 

just keep it up cleiton, im still hoping that the day is nearing.... YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE


haha!

THIS THREAD JUST GOT MORE INTERESTING :3

 

maybe the card already knew that cuban is really good at shooting, then it came by to his doorsteps already dead.. called doctor sager for help but to no avail )

they're right cuban, helping the community is not a waste right? try the oven bake method to re align solder points

 

Dont do this!!
She , your card, is sick and she need your help
send it to rob
Maybe she will be better
and a G73jh with a 7970m is more exciting than a boring sager

 

My 720qm is suffering with my battlefield 3 gameplay :laugh:
I need one 920xm but i dont have any money do buy it kkkkkkk

Someone is selling one? With a chip price?

 

I don't need the money otherwise I'd have it reflowed.

You know how awesome it would be to have it on YouTube? That's the route it is going.

don't try convincing cuban, i've already bothered him several times not to shoot his card. he's quite the contradicting cuban lol

 

Who's to tell me what I can or can't do with my own money? I'm all about helping the community, but heck, I'm not going to be giving money away. I'm not a charity, lol.

I'm sorry if people don't understand. I was hoping that it would work and I could give it to my little brother, but no dice.

Such is life.

I do understand hell if I couldn't get it to work after reflowing I'd shoot it to lmao please give me a utube link after the shooting has happened n all hardware dies n gets chucked in the end anyway

 

Oh I will. Just have to wait until I can head to the ranch.

It's his stuff, he can shoot it if he wants. Also it's unlikely you will be able to fix an artifacting card.

 

reflow reflow reflow reflow!


@ cleiton? what suffering?? can you show us some screenies..

 

@cleiton, you just can run openhw monitor while playing bf3.... are you saying that you are encountering bottlenecks? so the gpu loads drops by how much then?


i thought the 720 could handle it, but i dont think a 920 or a 940xm could make such a big difference on gaming by just comparing the clockspeeds...

generations of processors maybe

 

View attachment 87475 Hello Guys ....
I was also able to install the 7970m in our beloved G73 JH ...
I post here all my photos, and some tests ...

 

more photos

 

lol you did the mod that i was thinking about doing, how are temps?

 

View attachment 87485 still more photos

 

nice and you have the 940xm (qs), sounds like you need to give us some benchmarks, then we can compare it with cleiton's to see how much of a bottleneck his cpu is

 

It temperatures are excellent ....
but the mod is really a great idea ....
the mod was developed with copper heatsinks, because the VRMs were too hot

 

this type of mod chip separates the VRM heat from the GPU and GDDR5 ... In this way the GPU remains cooler, because the VRM heat up very much .... not just apply small copper heatsinks, unless these are not ventilated by a fan ...

 

ohh, i want to have one cut like yours! send one in the philippines lol!

nice gpu temps btw

 

hehehehe: D .... thanks for the compliments, it did not come perfect cut as I would like ...
place the result in 3D Mark Vantage .... and the various temp reached ...
the test was repeated twice in a row ....
Frequency my card in overclock GPU 900 MHz, GDDR5 1250 MHz.... ATI Catalyst 12.10
Picture test... http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6574/immaginewpc.jpg

 

you got overclocking working? better let robtherob know lol

on another note, what thermal paste are you guys using?

 

I just got my new fan, I am going to add adhesive to the rest of the parts on the video card. I was going to install the fan blower like you did but I just notice that there is a plastic insert (for a ribbon cab;e) between the wireless card and the video card. Did you remove that? If so, how?

 

Black prince what bios are u using and also what software did u use to overclock and one more thing did u have to reboot windows

 

I cut it a bit! :laugh:
YOu need to cut your fan to fit
I did it several times because the fan was touching the card
And power was come from the gpu fan
Its a very loud fan but it work very great to cool all my Vram
I thought to do the same that PrinceBlack did but i haven't the machinery to cut it and this part of the clevo
heat sink need to be cool
So i did with coppers and i put all together using super glue LOL
All the blue coopers are toghether and the heat is share with all
And wiht my powerful fan i can cold it =D
I love my mod but is a bit ugly

 

Playing battlefield 3 multiplayer

 

Bf3 won't bottelneck the i7 720qm with the hd7970 bf3 is gpu intensive not CPU the drops in performance is driver issue trust me there are a though games that will botelneck that CPU but bf3 isn't 1 of them. Try starcraft 2. Crysis 1 crisis warhead run stone giant gpu benchmark and I'll post results tonight to on stone giant

 

No if you mount a 920XM or 940XM 720QM is the difference to a lot ....
my 940XM overclock achieved almost twice the computing power of the simple I7-720QM ...
Benchmarck 3D Mark Vantage ...
I7-720QM: 10600 POINTS
I7-940XM: 13800 POINTS
I7-940XM overclock: 17200 POINTS

Picture Benchmark 3D Mark Vantage with I7-720QM : http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/621/test13032011.png

 

Glad to see that one more card worked. Congrats!

Thanks Cuban ... I am very sorry for your card ... I think what you felt .... it was just your bad luck ... not to think about .... in a few hours begins the Grand Prix in Texas at Austin .... I love the USA, I love America, I admire you .... and this evening here in Italy will be 20:00 when it begins the Grand Prix, Ferrari you have to believe, strength Fernando: D: D ....

 

Hello Cleyton .... I think I have you added as a friend on steam, forgive me if I'm allowed, if you do not like it you can delete my friendship ...
Cleyton I wanted to ask you never touched the heatsinks of Blue Vrms?
as are the sinks when you're in the game?
Are hot?
Or sinks are very hot? Untouchables?

 

thats one awful gpu usage u got there cleiton.. seems like enduro stuff? ;3

i know that you got an enduro disabled card but could there be a reason that it resurrected? lol

from my thoughts rob is right, bf3 is not that cpu intensive game, my g73 and even my desktop doesnt seem to force the cpu too much when playing bf3 even on large MP maps

its like its between a driver issue and a cpu bottleneck... lol

but i think ill be accepting the truth that 720qm bottlenecks at bf3 mp ))

heres the equation

more players in the map = more raw processing power needed by the cpu (even the game is not that cpu intensive) 64 player maps will STILL EAT 1st gens )

the sad truth.. 940xm will get it done $_$

 

That's vantage CPU points they are not relevant when trying to show a bottelneck as benchmarks are coded to only use the gpu and very little CPU on gpu tasks and vice versa so u carnt see a big difference in performance n also have an i7 940xm at 3.6 and have tested at 3.9 bf3 runs fine at ultra settings on my friends e6600 @ 3ghz and that's a lot slower than a i7 720qm

 

Steam ...
ok =D
@Vrms
When i touched it was hot but i could still touching it
The 3 ones that is next to the g73 heat sink are hotter than the ones that is next to the fan
But i can touch and feel that is hot, not untouchables
And yours?

 

ok good job Claiton ....
I think you do not need the foil under the G73 ....
when I started the various tests, once connected all copper heatsinks, I noticed that in the last game were really hot untouchable after a certain period of time ... I used a thermal imaging camera, and it marked me 64 ° C = 147.2 ° F ...
Now I made a change that subsequently oppurtuna posterior images, and now the copper heatsinks and aluminum are hot and you can keep your fingers on ....
all copper heatsinks have the same temperature

 

@rob , e6600 isnt slower to an i7 720qm clocked at stock speeds

remember, that 720qm is just faster to that 6600 in rendering times due to its 8 threads but not into a gaming scenario specially when you say that the e6600 is @ 3.0ghz

the bf3 just care more on higher clockspeeds than the number of cores of a procie

5.0ghz dual core is > 2.0ghz 100core processor )) << just an emphatic example... from an old basis

im just saying this because i already saw my old q9550 clocked @ stock speed (2.83ghz) ate dust from an i3 2320 (2ndgen). The i3 got 10 more fps in a 64 player map setting over the old core 2 quad q9550

considering the i3 is just a dual core with HT and q9550 is a full pledged quad :3

 

ahhmm ;3

like cuban, may i congratulate all of the other here who made their g73s work with 7970's

its not easy to get it here in ph, may God have pitty in me and make me so patient in waitng fot that card.... :3

 

You can buy it to wait for your card!

 

64 player maps will put loads of stress on the CPU u will need a 940xm overclocking it will make it eat bf3 alive 3ghz + speeds I also has this issue in some games I think it's some of the new features that the new gpu has put into it ! As I have got vsync on on darksiders 2 and the gpu only runs at 50% max and that's 60fps. Please record the fps on bf3 on a camera and YouTube it. Please post link HEAR I will tell u what's happening when I have watched it mite well be bottelnecked as I have better ddr3 memory than u I have 1866 speed but obviously it clocks down to 1333 but at cl6 instead of cl8 like the standard memory in the laptop is so I get more CPU bandwidth igot an extra 18% out of my 720qm on benchmarks 3 mark 06 think I got 3730 on the CPU think it gets 3100 normally

 

Passmark reports 720qm is faster than the e6600 and also 1 more thing BF3 runs better on a quad. And the game engine is made to use the ht cores out of the new CPUs to the full potential. They are used as go getters eg grab the info befor its needed hence the big fps jump from ur q9550 to the i3 dual

 

I think is my bf3, MP 64 players need more power than my 720qm
You can see in the picture that I sent
the CPU was loading at 50~55% Almost the time so it was using all the 4 cores
And when I over clock it the gpu utilization is higher than before
But I can play it like a charm
Everything ultra with 4aa 1080p resolution give to me 30~44 fps
So it's very good

 

here is my mod finished ....
I created a duct of forced air sucked by the fan .....
the duct invests copper heatsinks cooling the Vrms ....
the mod works the temperature is low .... I created a fan effect on all copper heatsinks .....
I increased the thickness of the rubber mounts to get more air ....

picture: ImageShack Album - 10 images

 

Great job prince black!!
Like your mod
My force the air to pass through the coopers to cool it that cool the vrms
My temps are about 73~74 because my g73 is near the table
When I lift it my temps drop to 71~72 with the gpu on 99%

 

right, 720 is just fine but 920.940 will handle it with eyes closed :0

by the way, that useless box seems so cool ))

 

i have the 740qm in mine
