    Just got a new P150EM from pro-star with the 7970m and I7 3630qm and have a few questions.

    First what temps should I expect when running prime 95 and furmark? The CPU maxed out at 91C while running prime95 small FFTs and the GPU was 94 with furmark + all the extra options under settings.
    Secondly what is the latest bios \ EC firmware? When I check the bios it says my current bios is 1.02.10RCL and the EC firmware is 1.00.09. Also FN + 1 Does not alter the fans.
    Lastly, when I put new thermal paste on the GPU\CPU I noticed that both dies had scratches on them that would not come out after cleaning.. Should I be worried about this at all?

    Thanks for all the help in advanced!

    your temperature sounds a bit high. try repasting/tightening screws. the EM series does not have FN+1 fan control enabled, and i think the BIOS is fine as it is. the scratching shouldnt effect performance or heat

    Only the sager bios have the FN+1 max fan on the EM series.

    No, the Sager NP9150 (P150EM) has the fn+1 fan control.

    Thanks for all the replys, I have one more question.

    Is it possible to undervolt/underclock the CPU or GPU? If it is which tools would I need to do this.

    Thanks again guys :D
