Asus G73 Benchmark Thread

3DMark06 is great for measuring CPU OC.

 

I can't wait!

Looks like it!

 

Maybe tonight. Going out with the family soon.

 

has anyone run the RE5 benchmark?

 

I think Vic did in his review.

 

I tried 650/1600/1050 so far with stock drivers. I know Soviet had his 680/1700/1020 stable, I will try more later. I think the 285M will do 15,000. Also using ELeetTune.

 

So you mean maybe the GTX 280M is better than the Mobility HD 5870?

 

NO. The 285m is not better by any means IMO.

 

Well i score 12542 at 3dmark06 with a sli 260m gtx so 5870 score little better. It look great so far, i'm expecting better performance with some new driver. Ho by the way i score 11916 at 3dmark06 with a sigle 4870 on my m17x at 3.5 ghz

 

I haven't tried GPU OC'ing yet. I'll get there.

BTW, how big is the power supply in your clevo?

 

3dMark 06 doesn't prove nothing (according to even)

 

Proves how well it handles DX9, lol.

 

I actually took all the stickers off... I know what's inside, and it helps with the stealth appearance. Only the intel one left any residue, and that was very minimal and came off easily with a little spit.

 

The little stickers don't bother me - just that big one.

I took it off and it came off with zero issues

 

Speaking of stickers I think I need to hit up eBay for a Core i7 Extreme sticker. make the upgrade complete.

 

Are you keeping it?

Didn't seem like you were....

 

What do you mean? I'll eventually sell it.

 

I don't know.

Thought you wanted a replacement for your thinkpad, but it seems you are enjoying it so far.

Hard to tell with you

 

Only time will tell. I enjoy benchmarking it because of the tools it provides.

 

Yeah it maxed out with no problems.

 

take a M17x PSU and soder on the connector

 

Yeah not happening, lol. A higher capacity universal PS as Quad suggested might be better.

 

Still pushing.

 

won't find a 240w universal

 

No but I should be able to get something better than 150.

 

Is this thread already getting boring?

Here's a Vatange run since I haven't done one in a while.

 

Very nice Mandrake. Any special cooling for this run? Cooler? Trap door removed from the bottom? Ceiling fan circulating air?

 

hey mandrake have you start gaming with those kind of settings yet? any stuttering? those are good score for single gpu

 

Wow mandrake !! awesome score !!!! but it's not too hot for normal gaming ? What are the noise of the fan running this temp ? my m17x is so noisy at full charge

i can't wait for my G73 to arrive !!!

 

mandrake, I have my 920xm installed, give me a quick run down of how to tweak this guy.

what do those bios settings do when you enable extreme ? TDP or something.

What program are you using to OC the processor in windows?

 

Can you tell me where you buy your 920xm ??? I really need one

 

ebaiii your no.1 CPU Superstore.

 

Great. so i can trust theys jap sellers ?

 

Extremeprocessor is good.

 

Anybody plays L4D2? Mind running a timedemo made by me?

Brilliant!

I hope sleey0 finds out that he has unlocked bios options for the i7620.

I really wish there was a way to O/C the i7 without having to buy the 920!

 

ebay, my 720 is on there. 920 isnt much fast in 3dmark without clocking it up or tweaking it..

 

I still haven't tried to open this thing.

Thing is, the 620 and 720 are so similar in performance I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. lol

 

It won't be. Until you bring the 620 and G73 to their knees with a wicked O/C. (assuming the 620 unlocks bios settings)

 

The 620 isn't an extreme proc so there won't be any nice oc'ing like the 920.

That I know for sure.

 

any help on 920xm settings? can anyone explain to me the extra extreme settings in bios? tdp? and how can i clock it up in windows 7?

 

Aww.... I wish someone could figure out how to unlock the non-XM i7 cpu's so we could OC our stock 720's. Anyone remember the pencil trick on Amd's Duron processors!? haha

 

Sure Mew, I'll run it.

 

So 650$ worst the upgrade to 920 XM ? it's a lot of money

 

It's not worth it for the money IMO.

 

Looking at the overclocks drake is getting, I'd say it's worth it, maybe... Also consider you can get a couple hundred for your 720 on ebay to offset the cost.

 

+1

I want to overclock my 820 as well (within safe range)

 

only for those who knows how to install the CPU themselves though. Otherwise the resellers are all charging 1000+ for 920 upgrades

 

Where can you get a 920XM for $650?

 

All over ebay.
