4790k laptop overclocking?

Nah, I just thoroughly dislike haswell on the whole. Compared to what I've seen people do with Ivy Bridge, and especially in the mobile market where 20W is the difference between a power-starved shutdown and smooth running for hours, Haswell and its power-hungry, heat-producing, barely-any-better-IPC is not nice. And Haswell-E with its ridiculous power drain is another story too. I feel sorry for all the people expecting Broadwell to be amazing too. The ULV market showed it's even hotter than haswell, apparently? That's terrible for these new thin books they're hunting down. And unlike before, where if a chip was honestly terrible you could get it replaced, now they're all board-soldered.

I want a truly improved chip to show up. Bloom/Clark/Lynn- field to Sandy Bridge was an improvement. Sandy to Ivy bridge was an improvement. Ivy to Haswell... is more of a sidegrade for people who have the brute force in power/cooling to keep the same clocks ivy can. That shouldn't be a thing. Hopefully Skylake brings something decent to the market.

 

cmon guys, if an X99 clevo laptop beast got released ud STILL be all over it and tweak / oc the crap out of it just cuz u COULD! admit it! ADMIT IT!

But first, I must make my current machine teh best full-mobile-hardware-using machine ever. Which is only possible because the M18x R2 doesn't let 980Ms work properly.

 

ha, ikr?! was so proud that i was able to beat mr. fox single 980M score, but only cuz of the throttling in his m18x2 *lol*

I wouldn't mind seeing more 980m SLI benches from more of the Clevo Boys (non P570WM ones).
From what I've seen I'm on par..at least with HWingnuts 980m sli review . The real problem with the R2 comes when you use an unlocked vbios and start pushing. So efficiently the fun of tweaking has been taken away.
Thinking about selling off 1 of the 980m's to start of an x99 build..

 

Don't see why they would different. CPU doesn't matter much in games, or rather your CPU is more than enough for gaming. The only difference is Clevo owners with desktop CPU have more power for CPU applications like encoding, compiling, possibly video/image editing requiring CPU only filters. I do some of that and that's why I wanted the 4790K.
