***Gigabyte P35X owner's lounge***

Well I did find this https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/forums/topic/3207-tutorial-dual-330w-ac-adapter-mod/
Its very interesting. I just dont know if it would work for the P35x and if the rectifier would need to be different. I also dont know how to solder...
Regardless its something I would have to try later when I can.

What do you guys think about finding a high wattage 19.5v brick and simply changing the input jack?

 

If the BIOS doesn't recognise the the power brick, then you might have issues such as battery not charging, perhaps other issues too, otherwise I think it's a good idea.

 

yes thats the one!

 

Just contacted Aorus asking what the biggest power brick i could buy with the 5.5X2.5MM adaptor.
Id rather just buy one than try to come up with something if a quality PSU already exists.

I do feel dumb for not asking for something bigger than 200w the FIRST time i contacted them...
EDIT
The biggest they have is 200w according to the Aorus rep so that sinks that idea.
Very curious to measure wattage when my Kill a watt gets here this afternoon.

 

Hi, guys!

I have a quite simple question.
How do you turn off the Turbo Boost?
Since my bios has practically no options available.
I tried the forum search and google and found nothing.
Thakns!

 

Through Intel XTU (or something like that, never too fussed about pushing mine to the last straw).

Intel XTU, just limit all multipliers including cache to 25.

 

Thanks! I will post my results!

 

Just found this:

http://www.amazon.com/Adp-180mh-X3plus-cf1-X3plusv3-cf1-X3plus-cf2-X7pro-cf1/dp/B013JO6VNS

It is 230w, and looks to be the same plug and states that it is a replacement for our 9.23a OEM.

 

That link isnt working but I'm very interested! Can you either try to fix the link or post the name so I can search on Amazon?
I've looked for other PSU before but never found anything like what youre saying!
Thanks

According to my kill a watt meter Im drawing a maximum of 210 watts with Prime95 and Heaven running. So accounting for efficiency that must be 180 watts actually making it to the laptop.
I've got more testing to do, but according to my research the efficiency is about 87% meaning I have about 230 watts to work with from the wall, and 200 to the laptop.

 

Very strange.... that product was just pulled, but they are still selling the ones where the plug fits Asus, Msi, etc.

It is a Delta Adp-230eb h.

 

Just found it again. Go to Amazon and search: "230w Aorus"

 

Ahh found it, strange that the delivery time is around a month away. Makes me a little leery. Im going to keep an eye out for it. 230w would be nice!

 

I went ahead and bought it. I do a ton of shopping on Amazon, and most of those shipping estimates are overstated. I guess I will find out. I will report back to the forum once i have it. I also have a Kill-a-watt and can do some power draw tests.

 

Does anyone know if I can hook up a 144Hz monitor through the Displayport? DP 1.2 supports 1080p@144Hz but I'm not sure if the igpu does.

 

you can't, unfortunately. dGPU to iGPU passthrough limits FPS output to 60.

 

Thank you for your reply. I did read on an official intel page that the intel hd 4600 is capable of 1080p@144Hz through dp. That was related to the 4690K however, a desktop part. Would the specs be different for the desktop?

I'm sorry for asking but do you have a link that confirms that this is indeed impossible? I really want to play csgo at 144Hz and would be really dissapointed if I cant.

Edit: here's the link: https://communities.intel.com/thread/53436?start=0&tstart=0

As you can see Allan from intel says it's impossible while joe from intel tells the contrary. I do not know what the p35x is capable of now.

You can output 144Hz from the mDP, tested with an Asus VG248QE and it makes a huge difference over 60Hz (never going back!)

 

Awesome! Did you test this with the p35x v3?

I found this and it looks like the correct ADP 230
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0118PPRBC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AXZD0AJNQX5UZ

Can anyone confirm the tip will be correct?
I compared model numbers with the aorus one previously mentioned and they're the same but the tip looks different possibly.

 

Guys I need help emergency style.

After connecting a bad mouse that didn't work to my laptop the track pad stopped working once I unplugged it, it moved but didn't click and made a strange double beep.
I had to hold down the power until it shut off and when I try to power it on all I get is a black screen. Not even a bios screen, I hear the fans come on, and the right most light comes on only.
I've tried disconnecting the battery and trying on only ac power and no dice.
Someone please help.

 

Have you tried to power it on without the battery AND plug in in order to drain the residual power and reset the motherboard?

Otherwise what you described sounds like a fried motherboard to me.

Just my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards.

Yes I did try that. And removed ram and tried to power on and same.
All I did was plug in a mouse and now a 2000$ laptop is dead?

 

Removing the battery and AC power & then holding down the Power On Button for 30 secs should help clear out some 'junk'. I would also try to remove the CMOS battery and then try that step in my previous sentence too. I don't know what else I'd try. If your laptop is still in warranty you should be able to get it fixed, because I've never heard of a mouse causing that issue, that hardly seems to be your fault.

 

I'm sorry dude, but if you already cleared the CMOS there's little you can do, sounds like a hardware issue with the mobo tbh. Maybe try different RAM as a last resort, otherwise return it.

 

I only held the power button down for 15 seconds so I'm gonna try 35 seconds and report back.
Where is the CMOS battery? I can't find the bugger.

 

You might be understating the variables a bit. You've had some forays into the case so I'd check anything that you've done previously for issues. What you describe sounds like a short to me. No clue if this MB has any degree of short protection tho.

I didn't notice where it is when I had mine open for upgrades but sometimes they are on the other side of laptop motherboards.

 

35 seconds didn't work. It won't do a thing except sit there and blow air.
If no one else has any ideas I'm going to see what the warranty process involves.

 

I have literally just handed over mine to the carrier to repair the faulty (seemly) gpu (the display driver was not respond and has recovered BSoD).

I first contacted official Gigabyte customer service whom refer me to the authorised UK repair centre; the repair centre asked for the serial number under the laptop, my name, address and the proof of purchase; then their engineer asked me to do a clean install of Win 8 (didn't work) then arranged a collection.

All the above happened within a week, but I had to delay the collection for 2~3 weeks due to the imminent coursework deadlines, and finally had it collected today.

According to the repair centre, if they need to replace the hardware, it could take up to 2 weeks for the parts to deliver to them from the manufacturer (Gigabyte), not counting their testings and repairinga...

Fingers crossed.

Regards.

Thanks for the information.
I called but they aren't open yet so I'm waiting till 11:30est my time when they open.
Thinking about building a mini itx system haha
If it's the main board would they just have to replace the laptop? Everything's connected to the mainboard.
Man I've got pictures I will lose

 

Thinking about getting either an ultrabook or small desktop myself, too, but the ultrabook will be useless for the next few months (too close to summer holiday to justifying spends on a new computer) and literally have no space in my room for a conventional desktop (except for one of those Celeron micro pc).

I contacted them through e-mail and they replied within 2 working days (don't want to hold the premium phoneline and can do a better description in text).

Regards.

To avoid losing photos, can you not take out the hard drive & then copy the files you want off it? You'd put it another laptop, or in a desktop, or connect via USB using a SATA to USB cable? (that's if you have a SATA drive, don't know what the drive is in your laptop).

 

I've started the RMA process.

Unfortunately the laptop is my only computer, and further more the photos are on the raid 0 msata SSD

I think I have most of them backed up on my phone but I can't be sure.

 

I received the 230w Delta power supply today, but it had the WRONG connector, so it is misrepresented on Amazon. It had the 7mm plug with the pin in the center that fits Asus computers. I have not given up on it: I found an adapter that takes the 7mm plug to the plug on our systems. I should have it Saturday. I will update accordingly.

 

I received the adapter and now the 230w power supply does indeed work with the P35. After running several runs of Valley benchmark with each power supply, there is no noticeable difference between the runs. I am running the 980m at +135/300 and it has been re-pasted with IC Diamond. No thermal throttling. I suppose I could run some other tests, but it looks like there is no advantage to using a bigger power supply without going with a modified vbios.

 

You're not going to notice a difference if you haven't allocated the new power.
I haven't used Valley but my experience with benchmarks is that they use less power and are less demanding than games cranked up to the max.
With an extra 50w you should be able to whip up a vbios that will run at 1300+ core. Memory clocks don't change however.
You'll need to change the voltage table so the minimum voltage is the same as maximum voltage, per clock. You'll also need to change the power table, which is somewhat nebulous to me. I found that changing the larger sums (1000000) helped and was stable but changing the smaller ones helped but resulted in problems with severe down throttling across the system. Since you have 30 more watts than I did you should be able to get better results. I spent hours and hours with all that so I'd be happy to help if you decide to do it.
In theory you should be able to add 50% across the power table but I found things to be less than linear there and really quite strange. I think I just didn't have the power with 200w.
In other news once I get my p35x back I'm selling it since I bought a full tower for a great deal on ebay.
4770k, liquid cooled 360mm, evga gtx 980, 16Gb, 1000 watt lepa psu, etc and a lovely 4k monitor it should be here Tuesday or Wednesday and I'm so excited to have a more powerful machine that will be unaffected by Temps and power (for the most part unless major overclocking).

 

Nice! couldnt resist the temptation huh?

Whats the overall cost if i may ask?

 

Yea I was perusing ebay and came across the auction in its final hour and couldn't resist lol
The bidding ended at 1150, I added it up and it's about a 1800 system new so I'm happy with that.
i7 4770k
Xspc 360mm water cooling setup on the cpu, and can also cool the gpu if I get a water block.
Asus z87-pro
Evga GTX 980 ACX 2.0
16 Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro
2tb western digital black
128gb Corsair ssd
Azza fusion 3000 case
Blu-ray and DVD optical drive
1000 watt lepa psu
Some sort of Intel tuning warranty
I think that's everything, I bought the 4k monitor separate and new. It's an 24" acer

 

Good price!

The monitor, whats the specs? 4k, IPS, 60hz gsync? Looking for a good 4k moni with those specs

 

It's got all those except gsync for only 300.
I wanted gsync pretty bad but that doesn't start until 7-800 range... Too much for me right now.

You should check out a 3k with 144hz. You wouldn't think it makes that big a difference but 144 is eye opening, especially for gaming.

Can you link to it? I don't remember seeing anything like that.

 

My bad, I'm confusing 1440p with 3k.

For me, even 1080p @ 144 beats a 4K monitor, but I tend to play FPS games. Also, it's hard to overstate just how much it reduces eye strain for regular computing tasks.

It's certainly a matter of opinion. For FPS games, from a competitive standpoint 144hz will trump all simply due to the milliseconds everything comes down too.
For me while I do play some bf4 I prefer 4k. It's simply beautiful. I love exploring the incredible world's we have at our disposal these days. High definition is more immersive for me personally due to the greatly increased depth, color, sharpness etc.
Everyone has different things they need out of their gaming and the modern pc has no shortage of options that is for sure.
I'm content to go through the world of Crysis 3, or rise of the Tomb raider paying more attention to the beautiful environment than much else and enjoying myself.
And one day soon maybe we'll have the best of both worlds! 144hz gsync 4k would be incredible to say the least!

 

Yeah i found that too. Really adds 400$ to the monitor with same specs...

 

Well the desktop arrived today.
I popped the side panel to make sure everything was in one piece before I fired it up and lose and behold the pcie x16 slot the 980 was in was broken. The plastic part is broken on the mobo. Not sure why, but I do now the psu cables were very tight on the gpu and that must have pulled it down enough to break it from the weight.
To top it off the WiFi won't work and it's Chock full of dust and the water cooling system doesn't look like it's ever been maintained at all.
What do you guys think?
Should I get my money back? I feel very very very disappointed and I would rather have my money back than this thing.
The seller has had good communication but it's clear he never touched this pc once it showed up on his door from cyberpowerpc and only used it.

 

Sounds like the seller didn't even considered about add padding to the gpu before sent it to the carrier: the weight of gpu itself is enough to break the PCIe slot during transition, the seller should really either add paddings and supports to keep the GPU in place or remove the GPU and packed separately. I'd ask for refund on the basis the desktop is broken before arrive therefore not as advertised.

That blows. I'd definitely just get your $$ back and let him fight it out with the shipper if that's what caused the damage.

Thanks for the input guys, glad it's not just me.
I've been talking to the seller and he seems like a great guy and has agreed to give me my money back. Gotta ship it back tomorrow.
Technically I think I could probably use the other x16 slot since 2 of them do run at full speed I think. But with the chance of a short and the lack of any maintenance I will be happier overall to just start over with my money back.
Anyone wanna buy a 4k monitor? Lol.. I'm sure I'll use it one day. Could even hook it up to the laptop when it gets back from gigabyte but the 980m is not up to the task really.
