Curious if it is possible to overclock 4710MH CPU on bins in BIOS. That would calm me down.

I know this isn't new news to many in this thread but after finding the MSI product list (thanks to Cloudfire's referring to it getting me to go searching), I found the GS60 page. A GS60 with a 980M and those specs? My god, my wallet is doomed, but at the same time I am very much hyped. To think I nearly bought a GS60 a couple of months ago - I would have been kicking myself for years.

Well, perfect except for lack of SLI but I can look past that EASILY for such a sleek machine!SamJB123 likes this. -

OK, I'll add a caveat. Guaranteed purchase IF they sort out the throttling/cooling issues.Mr Najsman and Robbo99999 like this. -

EDIT: don't get a silly little thin laptop if you want a decent GPU in it, along with the ability to overclock it with some decent temperatures, or even to run it stock at decent temperatures & no throttling. Also, MSI I'm not a fan of, they love grouping these laptops with piddly little 180W power adapters which aren't fit for purpose! MSI machines seem to just make too many compromises, they're not premium in my eyes. From reviews I've seen I would be a fan of Asus (if you're not fussed about upgrading GPUs later, could be close to the best), Alienware, and Clevo. -
Seriously though.. if any manufacturer manages to get those specs working at their full potential in something as portable as the GS60? All of my money. -
TBH anything that comes out and is a better spec than the 880's will make me happy. i regret buying that laptop after the problems i have had!

Also, I notice a 150W power supply... nope, just nope.Cloudfire likes this. -
Of course, I'm going to be looking around too. If another brand manages to deal with the heat/throttling issues decently, I'll be going with them. -

I was going from the image Cloudfire posted ( http://i.imgur.com/8cvo61P.png) - I'm not informed myself. I stand to be corrected.
I'd be very, very surprised if there wasn't a GS60 model released with a 980M though, given they had the balls to put an 880M in one already. -
-
A 980m in a GS60 seems highly unlikely. Power limitation and thermal issues. I plan on upgrading to a 980m. Anyone interested in my 780m?

I'm hoping that they don't EOL my 9377 so there is an official bios update for the new cards and a chance to upgrade directly through xotic/sager

So, should I finally break the combo and NOT buy a Sager for the fourth time in a row once the 980m launches? Honestly, I'm pretty happy with them minus two things: The heat and the noise. But, then again, those also aren't issues that I'm willing to throw an extra $500 to solve which seems to be the markup when going MSI.

If you notice there are two other 970m runs at a lower clock speed with MUCH higher scores. That low score could have been a complete fluke. I had a similar thing happen when I was trying to find the best OC for my 860m. I was inching the clocks up and them BAM, it went from really nice scores to a horrible one.....then I realized my AC cord came out and it was running on battery for that run. Not saying this is the case, but it's a possibility.Cloudfire likes this. -
Guys, say Hello to Maxwell =D -

quick question: once we see mobile maxwell revealed in the next few days, how soon can we expect to actually be able to buy a laptop containing it? do some laptop brands move faster than others?
-
The fact that the leaks came from current Clevo machines including the P370SM-A gives me hope.

Maybe. We'll see I guess. Personally I just want a working laptop. =(

scan have tried 2 more pairs of cards and it still throttles.. i have had no laptop now for 2 months.. they asked me what i want to do, wait for next gen cards or have a full refund. Seeing im paying monthly through scan i cant have the full refund option so i said i will take the card upgrades when they come!

The benchmarks from Videocardz show that a GTX 970 @ 1051MHz (stock clock) scores 10282. So if I should guess: Major throttling caused by power target and such because they went too far for what the vbios allow
Take GS60 2PE for example. It features GTX 870M.
GT72 2PE however have GTX 880M.
2QE for GS60 is GTX 970M.
2QE for GT72 is GTX 980M.
2QD for GT72 is GTX 970M.
The fans move a lot of air and create very little noise, so if you want that, it may be worth the premium. Also another cool feature aboutn MSI GT series is that you can control the fan speed by using a nice little community made tool. -
was gonna say looking at the other benchmarks they have been close to one another, that one is the only one that dosent fall in the line with the rest...
-
Why do they keep prolonging the release?! Weren't they supposed to announce it yesterday and today...?
-
Yeah there was suppose to be a paper launch today.
Plans change I guess. Just human nature. Nvidia will be in 5 different towns across the world, plus live streaming on September 18th, so big things like this needs planning and stuff for sure. -
But in general I expect October availability for most brands.
2QE is nowhere to be found for GT60 in the MSI database
See here: http://amigo.msi.com/specification_black.aspx?Model=GT60 -
Best of luck man. Here's to hoping Clevo decides to update all of our bioses.

they already talked about reshelling into a diffrent laptop.. i said that wouldnt fix the problem with the 880m rofl. weather its this laptop or a diffrent shell i dont know. i just want a laptop!!!! 3 months of ownership and i have used it for gaming twice.. well i say "used".. not really coz it was slowing down and jumping.
BRING ON THE 980m SLI! ill be the test pilot for overclocking -
i just found this link that would confirm that GTX980m will work in clevo P370sm-a

Also, WHY DOES nVIDIA STILL DO 5000MHz MEM BANDWIDTH. COME ON! THE DESKTOP CARDS HAVE LIKE 7000+ ALREADY! Good lord nVidia we know they work at over 6000 so stahp it >_< -
YEEHA. GTX 970 GPU-Z screenshot.
I feel positive that our GTX 980M will have identical specs (except core clock/VRAM clock)

A great and believable spec upgrade for a new arch. I can't wait! Although I do wish memory would be higher than 1250mhz haha.

Galaxy GeForce GTX 970 GC pictured | VideoCardz.com
note the standard version is 2x6-pin power connectors (75w max each)
the galaxy version possibly factory overclocked is 1x6-pin + 1x8-pin (75w+150w)
I doubt they would need to up the power connectors unless its standard was already near 150w. Anyone know how close it would have to be to require more for reasonable overclocking potential? Though I guess anything under 150w is pretty impressive to begin with so its likely near the 150w max.
EDIT: Or wait doesn't the Pcie provide up to 75w itself? Why would they need to add more power to it? maybe to power the cooling? hmm think this may be meaningless for estimating power after all. -
More headroom is more better. Overclocking can shoot power consumption through the roof. Even at stock, intensive applications can cause the card to hit its power limit and thus not fully Boost, so you'd need to raise Power Target above 100% to get your full clock speed.
