HI,
Got myself a used Clevo P775DM3-G (see my signature for details) and I find it a bit noisy (I normally use it on top of a Zalman NC-3000 cooler).
This might sound like a stupid question, but is there any place where I can find a compilation of cooling/silencing mods that would allow me to optimise the temperatures for this model?
Thanks
Jorge

As you have found out, Clevo models post first gen DM use 12v jet engines to cool.
Your best bet is to:
CPU:
Delid the CPU (pretty much mandatory) with liquid metal
If you can hunt down a Bitspower silver lining 6 series IHS, for your 7700k it has an extra .1 in height which really helps for a tight fit (4.3 vs 3.3)
Check your heatsink CPU fit. If you won the heatsink lottery, go with gelid or kryonaut. If you lost, nanogrease
If you manage to procure a Bitspower (or go shim) or have a good fit naturally you could potentially go liquid metal.
At this point, it's time to find an undervolt sweet spot and dial in performance. Use throttlestop or XTU to fine tune and then set it in BIOS if your system supports it (I don't know what BIOS you're running) or if your BIOS doesn't support unvervolting set it with TS or XTU (in that order).

GPU:
Check all the thermal pads, but 1060's run pretty cool naturally considering you're using a heatsink rated up to a 1080
Make sure your pairing is good (usually decent on the DM3)
Apply new thermal compound. I consistently use gelid unless the pairing is suspect then I go nanogrease if I don't feel like going the paperclip mod
FANS/Heatsinks:
Give 'em ye ole compressed air to clear them out.
If the heatsinks are extra dirty, give them a bath in iso
If the fans are filthy, use a Q-Tip and iso to clean them.
Fan Control:
Obsidian fan control is the truth. Their keyboard app is pretty nifty too.

Once you optimize the hardware side, you can set custom fan curves based on temp allowances if all thee above doesn't naturally ramp down the fans to your satisfaction.
Don't forget the forums dedicated to the 775DM2/3!

Hi @electrosoft
still one hell of a beast
I'll check them out.
I am not so confident with the liquid metal, never used it before, and a bit scared of frying something!
Cheers
