I'm very curious to know if you plan on pushing a 1300 or more core clock with a modified vbios. Would like to know if 50 watts is enough.
One useful tool for testing for throttling in real time in game is evga precision x with the on screen display. It will show your current clock rates in real time.
I think if I can get enough juice to the 980m I can squeeze out 30-40 FPS at 4k. Would be great to try and use this 4k monitor! The 8gb makes it good for it. I think the desktop 980 would be quite decent for 4k if it didn't have a measly 4 gb of vram.
Technically I should be able to match the 980 but have twice the vram (stock 980 vs oc 980m of course)
I can't wait to get my laptop back, I might not be selling it after all if I get this to work![]()
Can you link to the adapter you used for the power jack?
Your Google fu is clearly superior as my searches have returned fruitless.

I would be interested in seeing your results with taking the 980m even faster. -
Looks like the dell 330w will work with that.
Anyone know if the gigabyte rma website is accurate? It hasn't updated my status. -

Good to know, thank you!
It got there friday but the site hasn't updated. I'll email this Thursday or Friday to enquire then. Can't wait to get it back and try some things. -
Just heard back from Gigabyte!
They replaced the motherboard and some sort of keyboard holder. They also asked for my permission to recover the OS.
+1 to Gigabyte for honoring the warranty quickly without any hassle.
I guess they'll finish up and send it back soon! Feels good that I bought from a company that stands behind their product and warranty. -

Currently in the long processes of updating Win8 and reinstall a few games to test the issue. The worst thing is I don't have system backups for Win8 anymore coz I upgraded to 10 for over half a year now...

I'm still not convinced that Win8 doesn't have the same issue, after all, there're many reports on google with the problem persists after the OS downgrade.

I'm surprised. I sent my laptop back in for a warranty repair on the battery and I think they replace my entire body of the laptop and a new keyboard with media keys on the arrow buttons. Have those always been there and I just never noticed it?

Well gigabyte mailed my laptop yesterday after replacing the motherboard and recovering the OS. I'm looking forward to unleashing 330 watts to really see what the 980m can do with proper cooling and power.
Thinking about getting a dual usb to usb b to run more power to my notepal x3 too. Anyone know much about upping the rpms? I imagine the heat might get intense even with all my stuff. Plus I'll have a lovely factory paste job to redo. -

You might need a modified vBIOS for your 980M to enable the card to suck more power, often times they're limited by the TDP constraints in the vBIOS.Key7795 likes this. -

I know I'll need a vbios.
And I know obviously it's not going to use 330w...
What I do know is 200w was certainly not enough to power a good oc.
The 330w will make it a non issue and be most efficient. Maybe the 230w would be enough but I doubt it without throttling and why be so close to maximum power? I'd prefer the efficiency and wiggle room. I've maxed out a 200w as confirmed by kill a watt by modified vbios..Robbo99999 likes this. -
I thought I had read somewhere where people will run multiple usb to a cooling pad though. Could have misunderstood but it's a cheap fun experiment so I'll let you guys know if it works!Robbo99999 likes this. -
Just got my laptop back all spiffy! I didnt lose any data, it looks like they recovered everything! I am very happy about that.
I get the 330w dell PSU and adaptor, liquid ultra, fujipoly 17mwk thermal pads and the dual usb power cable tomorrow.Its about to get fun!!
Also the ASIC of the new 980m is 76.1% and my old one was 76.5 so I cant complain.
EDIT:
Well guys dont waste your time, no manner of power table tweaking will allow it to draw more than about 216w total system draw from the wall despite power throttling on an overclock.
I'm guessing the internal power delivery circuitry is only capable of delivering 100w and not much more. I tried doubling the power table(200%) which is what prema mod allows you to do on clevo etc. As soon as a heavy load comes on the gpu chokes down to sub 1k core clock.
The bottom line is im tired of fooling with this laptop and have put it up for sale.
Oh and the dual usb to the cooler did nothing extra so you guys know.Last edited: Apr 6, 2016 -
So yesterday I dropped my laptop from tableheight... It slipped out of my backpack when I was about to leave and getting my stuff.
After lots of cursing and getting people's attention in my campus library, I tried to boot at home. Nothing. I shat my pants.
Turns out theres nothing wrong with the laptop: Im installing windows 10 on an old 120Gb mechanical drive from a roommate as we speak and its already booted so its fine.
My m550 512gb however seems to act weird. In the hdd slot, I cant get it to boot and sometimes it is recognised in the bios and sometimes it isnt. I managed to boot it using the HDD adapter for the cd drive but I haven't replicated this result yet and only tried once.
Is this a problem with my SATA port on my laptop or with the ssd itself? I hope its not the sata port.
As I said, the mechanical drive is working fine in the hdd slot, but Im pretty sure its not a sata3 drive but rather a sata2 one. Would that have something to do with being able to be recognised on a damaged sata3 port? (Less pins being used or whatnot).
The laptop was in standby when it fell, so theres 2 kinds of damage possible on the lappy and the ssd: falling damage and elektrical i think. Any thoughts? -
Are you using RAID in mSATA ports or single mSATA SSD? Have you tried swap them?
Regards.

There is no definitive solution. -
Also, are the msata slots in the V3 msata3 or msata2? Will you get the full speed from a 850 evo 1tb msata? -
Seems the ssd is the problem. Got windows up and running in the old hdd slot on an old spinner but the m550 doesnt get recognised in either slot and not on my roommates computer via external hdd trays either.
Does this completely rule out my sata port on my laptop is broken though? -
So 2 questions:
Are the msata ports running at msata2 or msata3 speeds? Read some threads from a few years ago stating all msata is msata 2 and thus can not match sata3 speeds... Surely the msata ports in this laptop are msata3?
Also, what is the maximum capacity of the msata slots? The specs say 512gb max, is it possible to run 2 1Tb msata SSD's in raid0? I beleive I saw someone try this but havent seen the outcome. -
So i noticed today that the bottom of my laptop was not connected at one screw. I tried screwwing it back in but never caught nor did the nonattatched bottom become flush again. If i turn the laptop around i can hear something rattling inside. The screw loose isn't a corner so no big deal, but has anyone encountered this issue before? Don't wanna open her up if I can help it.

I love my P35x v4, bought it back in August of 2015, but I've been having a pretty consistent issue I've been unable to diagnose: it seemingly randomly takes forever to boot, even while running W10 on an 850 Evo. Sometimes it will boot up in a less than ten seconds like it should, other times it will take around two minutes, just sitting at the Gigabyte boot screen. I have reinstalled Windows multiple times, on my other 850 Evo and on a hard drive, neither solving the issue. Another strange thing is that when it takes a long time to boot it makes an audible popping sound while sitting at the Gigabyte screen.
Additionally, I have never been able to get it to sleep successfully. It tries to sleep, makes a strange beeping noise and seems to shut down.
Lastly, it never shuts down successfully. It always boots straight back up after a shut down, within seconds. I usually have to do some combination of holding the power button down and something else to actually get it to shut down.
Could this be a motherboard issue? The fact that I've tried multiple drives and installations of Windows kinda lead me to a hardware issue.Last edited: May 2, 2016 -
I too sometimes have my computer randomly turn back on after hibernating. Very rare though, not sure what causes it. -

@Arthedes, how did you get on, did you manage to sort out your machine in the end?
-
Through either a recent Windows Insider update or disabling wake on lan / rtc setting in bios my slow boot problems seem to have gone away, along with the audible pop on boot. It still will not successfully shut down though. Baby steps. The slow boot with auto hide task bars is a strange bug indeed. I always hide my task bars and never figured it could play into my boot time.

Any one managed to get HTC Vive to work with their P35x V3? I always thought it was impossible to do this because of the whole optimus fiasco. I saw one post talking about it working if you go through the miniDP instead of the HDMI port. But there are no clear instructions.

To Raid or Not?
I have 2 x Samsung 950 PRO 512 and 2 x Samsung 840 PRO 256. The system is already fast and very responsive. However, I was told not to RAID SSDs because it will reduce their lifetime. Is it worth it? Anyone else run RAID-0 on 950 PRO? -
No further damage to the laptop occurred
This leads to the cause. My laptop was on standby before it fell and off after it fell. Probably abruptly cutting power to the ssd, causing it to scramble in some manner. Power cycling the ssd reset it and made it work again.
I reinstalled windows 10 from a bootable usb, installed the latest drivers and all my programs and im still using it today and it works flawlessly! -
Hi, could anyone help please. I'm trying to choose between this model and the GS63VR but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the information found online.
I just want someone input on the matter. Would you guys take this model over the GS63 anytime?

Hi, I'm trying to play BF1 on my P35X V3 (Full HD version), but I'm getting really inconsistent framerates, with everything on Medium I can't even get stable 40/50 FPS.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits installed, and the latest nVidia Drivers, any advice ?Last edited: Nov 14, 2016 -
