    Hey Woodzstack, did You hear about putting 1060 or 1070 in to first Clevo P775DM1? I've got 980m but i think 1060 should have better fan noise emissions or 1070 for better performance. What do You think?

    yeah both would be more powerful that is no doubt. The 1060 would provide like 25% performance boost minimum, and require less over all power, this would keep temps lower, if that is what you are looking for.

    What resolution screen you using ? What is the constraint other than noise/fan speed, like the 1070 for instance is much more powerful than the 1060 buts a premium, and sometimes is just overkill unless you do some tricks or use higher resolution screen or playing absolute latest games.

    I have FullHD on P775DM1 but i often hook up to 4K TV so I would prefer 1070 but I didnt see if someone successfully put it on first P775 witch was dedicated to 980M/980 desktop. If 1070 is incompatible I thought about 1060 to gain lower temps and fan noise relative to 980M (see my signature below)

    Is the version of MSI 1060 fits to clevo? (P775DM1) I heard that Clevo has EC and its problem for some of the cards.

    I actually once heard that too, but it was before the final versions of the cards were released, and was with an older vbios. For instance the QS versions of those cards hard a wire to skip EC checks soldered to the cards, but later they didn't need them.

    So hard to say. I'm still learning some of the ropes with Clevo's, I have a few systems myself, but I do not run into any EC issues but haven't tested this card from MSI in it personally, been testing them in Alienwares most the time TBH

    Just finished purchasing a Eurocom sky mx5 r2 from @woodzstack ! Absolutely recommend 100%! This guy is a pro, and if you live in Canada, I dare say there's probably no reason not to go with this guy to get your unit upgraded through him. Highly recommend 10/10, would repeat business again. Champion at communication too, almost always instant replies to any of your concerns!

    Been a pleasure!

    I'm selling them in our used market, if I know that you want it I'll never offer for it, he said he will get a new rig from you, and he needs to sell for that.

    Oh he didn't buy from me, but no worries, I was just making fun back and forth with you. It was a good deal, I would have bought it only to not let it pass...as much as I love it I shouldn't buy one. Been down that road like 10x hahah

    Hey thanks for the feedback !
    You'd be surprised how so many do not know that the cards are already flashed properly for the customer. Try as best I can to be plug and play, you know.
    Anyways - I'm always around when you need supply ! Thank you for the business and catch you next time !

    I just upgraded my Alienware M18x R2 from 780m to 1060. Woodz card was extremely amazingly packaged. It had anything I needed to put it and more. Definitely recommend it to anyone, the buy was super easy and without any issue. The shipping was ridiculously fast, I didn't even realized that it arrived until a day after.

    I didn't buy anything atm from woodzstack, but him help me a lot explaining me stuff and helping me understand a 7970m i found on ebay was probable a good deal, and instead of try to keep me to buy something from him, told me the best choice for me was buy the gpu i found on ebay because had a very good price.

    So, woodzstack seems a really good man and someone who help you and care about your best choice, not about his return.

    i will definitely in future if and when i will need buy a laptop from him!!!

    and i suggest you to do so, too!


    sorry for my bad English, but i guess my point is understandable! lol

    I bought two items from him. a gtx 970m way back in 2015 and the Tornado F5 early this year.
    He was very patient with my Tornado F5 order as I made several last minute changes with the configuration.
    He also have excellent after sales support and would reply to my inquiries quickly despite the time difference. (i live in Singapore)

    I would never hesitate buying from him. Highly recommended!

    Hi
    I don't have Facebook and don't do twitter, I hope this gets to you.
    I may have borked my motherboard, Alienware 17 ranger, September 2013. I tried overclocking the cpu for some stupid reason. The intel extreme tuning utility blew the bios out somehow. It has the i7-4700mq if it makes a difference.
    Apparently the only way to get the bios to repost is to remove the cpu to try and force the bios to post again.
    If that doesn't work, I was considering replacing the motherboard rather than getting a different laptop. I really like this thing.

    If I do get it to boot up again, I would like to consider a video card upgrade. It has the gtx 765m which even heavily overclocked is showing its age.
    From what I understand the gtx mobile cards up to the 980 drop right in. I saw the msi 1060's may fit as well.
    If I am in the wrong place, I'd very much appreciate a link or something for the right place.
    Thanks!
    And if you have any additional tips to help me get it to post again I would be your new best friend. :).
    Thanks again

    Yeah you have only one post on the forum, so you maybe can not message people yet, I am unsure, but I sent you a Private message to save you the hassle.
    This section of the forum is for feedback, essentially post-purchase feedback for various official resellers.

    Thank you for thinking of me first though !

    After 90 PMs' and about a million questions from me, Woodz and I have finally put together a perfect laptop.

    The patience and help given to me these past few days have been incredible.

    Can't wait to finalize the process and get this new laptop in my hands.

    Thanks Woodz, and I god willing everything goes smoothly from here on out.
