    *Reposted upon suggestion from what notebook should I buy*

    Heya,

    I'm considering a Clevo P157SM and i have just a few questions.

    I'll be getting the i7 4700MQ and am trying to decide between the 770M or 8970M.

    I would consider overclocking the 770M to achieve approach 8970M esque performance, would the OC'd 770M run appreciably cooler than the 8970M?

    Regarding the P157SM in general, how noisy would I expect the fans to be while web browsing or just running Excel. Also, how would they be during gaming?

    8970M working properly will destroy the 770M at stock by 40-50%. The 770M does overclock very well though and should get close to stock 8970M performance.

    The GTX770M uses the different GK106 core so overclocking results will be quite different.
