Clevo P1x0HM users with 7970M/680M - Ordered? Installed? OCed? Lets have it! :)

u said that those stuck pixels only happen with one of the two cards, is that correct? or does that happen with both cards? also, are those stuck pixels always the same ones / in the same area of the screen? should be good to know if its potentially caused by the display itself or not...

 

I don't know if the pixels are also there with the exchange card - didn't see any if the card was placed in the 2nd time, but i don't really watched after it... Actually the Pixels are everytime on the right side of the panel in 2d, in 3d everything is fine. The appearance is at random time, should be the same position every time, can't count the lines exactly

Before i replaced the burn mark card there were NO Stuck Pixel Problems - they appear since i switched the cards the first time and installed many driver versions, i used driver sweeper everytime.. at GPU-Z i get an error for OpenCL since the first switch, so i think that is a windows/driver issue. Cause they only appear on Windows at the moment.

The display will be card agnostic, they can appear after short periods of use, they may have developed while the machine was off.

 

tru that, just wondered if those were really stuck pixels or maybe just some weird artifacts caused by a defective gpu.

Not something I have seen before to specific pixels.

 

OK they are on the same position in 2D, looking like artifacts - after refreshing the browser or moving something over them, everything is fine.

Yesterday i have reinstalled the driver for the 7970m in the device manager under windows safe mode - he said "Oh, found a new driver" after i pointed to the AMD Driver location on my HDD, after that i was working/surfing about 30 minutes in windows/browser, played two hours BF3 and was surfing about 30 minutes after - no artifacts, pixel failure.. maybe this is my solution, will keep an eye on it and write in this thread an update

 

me neither, thats why i asked if its always in the same display area. stop doubting me already!

@F1r3: sounds good, hope it stays that way

lets see whos gonna breathe some new life into their HM beast

 

talking about nextgen this year? well i for one am definitely gonna try if it doesnt work out i can still always sell the card on ebay

 

We shall see if the cards are hardware compatible and if there will be an enduro disabled BIOS in case of AMD available (otherwise it's going to be nvidia only).

 

hardware compatible most definitely and yeah, that would be exactly the case@AMD & Nvidia

 

I would not guarantee anything with mobile upgrades, it should be as they are not radically different, but let's not take it for granted.

 

Hi,

still get the artifacts at the moment.. sad.. reseller didn't answer to 12 emails and 15 phone calls with no one on the line till 9th march.. if i don't get an answer till next week thursday, i will go through the police and to an lawyer because of the trickery.
Seems to me, that the burn mark is a part of the RAM controller, so the card will die some day..

greetings

Surely if they don't respond you can just open a paypal dispute and automatically win?

 

would surely be the easiest way

*zorrrrkkkkkkkk* payment on delivery *zooooorrrrrkkkkk*

The only positive thing is, that i have two cards here at the moment
Maybe i can contact AMD?!

Sometimes i feel like that i want to hit the wall with my head that i didn't have bought kolias card cause of the warranty... now i'm stuck with notebookguru not responding anymore to my contact trys

 

I would avoid anyone on ebay not accepting paypal.

Since they are a business then it may be worth sending them a legal notice (depending on how your legal system works).

 

I didn't buy the card on ebay. i bought it from one of the german CLEVO Resellers (for example: mySn, Hawkforce, Deviltech, Notebookguru, MIF..), in my case Notebookguru. My first RMA was very fast, nice email support etc. - then the exchange card is/was faulty and the first contact was fast.. after i denied sending in my Notebook to them, no answer by email, on phone etc.

I also wouldn't buy articles from Shops/Resellers who are not accepting PayPal on ebay.. but in my case i asked the shop for a card exchange + "little" amount extra - so i sended them my 6970 after they sended me a 7970m with payment on delivery (250 Euro). Shipment etc. was very fast, got the card after 24 hours after buying/making the deal. So.. i will contact them again and if they don't answer, i will take my rights and get to a lawyer to wright a legal notice.

At the Moment i think maybe it is only a driver / windows issue.. next week i have holidays, so i will reinstall windows and look after it. If the problems are still there, i will try the exchange card with a new vBIOS (that from my burn mark card) cause the exchange card is using 1.05v instead 1.0v - maybe the card don't like that or the used vBIOS maybe faulty.

 

Oh buddy,you bought the card from them?(notebookguru)
If i remember correct a member from here,had problems with them!!
I wish you the best mate.

 

In the matter of speaking go here F1R3 http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/689486-7970m-dead.html
A lot of people had and have problems with notebookguru,after they get the money (working card or not,even if the card is in warranty or not)they disappeare.......I hope for you they contact ,because this is getting very annoying everytime from them!!!!!!NOTEBOOKGURU WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFE U IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

on another note, kolias re file! just saw that u also switched to the 240w dell slim psu, nice job buddy

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

Yea buddy i have it over a month now.hehe!!

 

Would be nice if they offered slim units as a premium option rather than doing it ourselves.

 

ikr? theyd definitelly sell several of those slap on a 90 day warranty for the DIY cable/soldering job and ud be good to go

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

yea,to mod kolias 240 psu I had to go and buy an extra 140w soldering iron,to melt the soldering from the big wires inside from both psu's

 

how much did u pay for the iron?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

I have a 40w soldering iron (12 euros) but to melt the soldering that was on the fat wires for both psus I needed a more powerfull iron...anyway I pay 95 f@%$^&% euros

 

Lol I did it with a tiny electronics iron, the trick is to melt some solder on the tip and apply it to the blob, you then have much better heat transfer and it should melt.

 

damn those things are expensive! remind me to come back to u for soldering advice, if i ever really need one meaker

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

 

This is why you are nice to the lab assistants at uni, they give you helpful advice

 

That's what I did Meaker but,how you gonna melt it when in my basement (where i do my electronics experiments ) has 9c room temp.I do that stuff from 1997 and I have mod and hardmode desktops gpus and gpus and motherboards,all this years .

 

Get a mini electric heater?

 

u a lab assistant? im always nice to work colleagues, u never know when u might need their expertise

No, but they are who I got my soldering advice from.

Deleted all AMD/ATI Stuff from the Notebook by hand .... then reinstalled 13.3 Beta 3 - no problems at the moment. OC'ed the card to 925/1200 to check Performance - no BSOD or something else, nice temps about 72 °C after 3 runs of 3dmark11 and 3dmark(13) ... keep an eye on it

a new toy will arrive today - my first NAS, have to buy a nice hdd this afternoon for the NAS, got a two bay but i will upgrade to a second hdd later.

EDIT:

1. no problems at the moment, card performs very well, no failures - also if i OC the beast to benchmark with 965/1250
2. NAS runs very well - my internal 1 TB HDD is empty now *haha*

 

Ahhh yeah

KAAAAAAAAZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!



There are more reserves that i thought.. at the moment i run the beast @ 0,975v with no OC, but 950/1250 seems to be stable. Temps are @ nice 66 to 69 °C without the foil mod
ASUS GPU Tweak works enchanting

 

Now you just need to get over 9000 to match the 680M

 

id already be happy breaking 8k maybe 1866 ram sticks with a small OC could help me out there...

 

7k is awesome enough for that Price if i would bought the 680m, i would Not OC it very much for benchmarking or for 24/7 - similiar to my 7970m, she is Running Stock clocks at the Moment and is only oc'ed for doing Benchmarks.

But "oooovvvvvveeeerrrrrrr 9000!!!!!" for an mobile gpu is very nice, guess the Points if you have sli )

 

@F1r3, good points,

It is true that it is not professionally clock, but only for sport

 

is 7641 gpu score not a bit low for 1075 MHz on core?

 

I do not know whether the GPU score high or low, I'm not interested in benchmarks,crysis3
Frames: 15810 - Time: 487114ms - Avg: 32.456 - Min: 25 - Max: 51 , (I7 3840QM, AMD 7970m @1GHz , 1866 Mhz RAM )

 

Thx vss

Hm, cant you go higher with the RAM clocks? if i Set the Same GPU core with more RAM clock it results with some extra points/frames.

 

puts the bar high. edit : bar ends on 1105MHz,



edit ,
Performance Prest (Driver)

 

Nice score

Benched with 975/1330 - look at the temp now with foil mod.



And here with 975/1350 after 3 runs

 

temperatures are so great, but there's no memory overclock, overclocking memory negatively affect longevity, it is best to overclock Core @ 1Ghz and memory 1200 and is ideally


edit:
Memory does not add gpu score, but minimal points edit : maybe my system is the problem?

Spoiler

 

So we must find the best solution between GPU Core Clock and RAM Clock - i recognized the same problem at my machines! With 5850M, 6970M, 7970M and the Desktop 6870. There is a point, were overclocking the RAM don't get any points. The problem is the AMD Card/Driver i guess, cause with NVIDIA Cards you don't have that problem. AMD cards may only perform well with high core clock and a bit overclocked RAM, cause there seems to be a clock cap for the RAM

Played BF3 since my last Post, max. Temp @ 66°C at the moment, no OC.

 

F1r3 , Tape Mod you did according to my recommendations?

temperature really nice.

 

I taped the whole copper fins both sides, closed all gaps so that the air must stream directly through the copper. I didn't look after the fins if they are shifted to each other, maybe more decrease in temps are possible? Also i taped it so thick, that the aluminium foil is reaching the backplate - the Laptop stands also on a Zalman NC3000s with vent on max. but it is a big vent so you don't hear anything
