I would run 2x 8GB Ram Sticks not 4x4GB sticks... that will give you the option to add more ram to the other 2 slots. the first two slots will be hard to get to iirc///

 

thanks, noted and changed! also saved a few bucks haha
16GB (2 x 8GB) , PC3-12800, 1600MHz SODIMM
upgrading wise you mean higher mhz wise?

 

The PCIe drives we have seen so far have been extremely fast. I would get one of those instead of the SSD, then get a HDD for more storage space (if needed).

It easier to upgrade RAM since there will be two open slots. So you dont have to remove 2 to add 2.

 

i for one would stick to a 2.5" ssd for the monent. its true that the m.2 pcie drives are faster when it comes to sequential performance, but 4k/small file size speeds are actually not faster, and thats the actual indicator for everyday/system performance, so not yet worth the extra money. but im sure faster drives will be available sometime soon that not only max out the pcie 4x interface at 1.8 gb/s but also provide small-filesize performance to match that and to mop the floor with any available 2.5" drives

aside from that ur config looks good to go! not much longer to wait and well finally have our new babies, yehaw!

 

Regardless of which SSD you go with, the laptop is going to be a boss. :thumbsup:

 

That depends on which drive you go for though.

 

naturally i was assuming that one would go with a higher tier drive such as the 850 pro / sandisk extreme series and similar

 

the pcie card is cool; might be best to hold off for prices to drop on em

 

Normal workloads are a mix of both small and large, the PCI-E drives pull ahead due to much faster large file speeds.

 

thanks for the feedback!

gonna stick with -Samsung 250GB 840 EVO Series SATA III 6Gb/s

 

It's a good drive, the whole setup is going to run REAL nice.

 

Been reading up on hard drives, good read

I found an even BETTER deal, thankfully before ordering! BIG upgrade in cpu from 2.5ghz to 2.8ghz!!!!!! also gtx980m 8gb lel.

You do realise that's the thicker and heavier Clevo P150SM-A not P650SG right?

 

It's a good system with better cooling but it is a lot bigger as iaTa mentioned.

 

Bigger system but still a very good one. The Samsung drive is still advised over the M550.

 

Ouch, hopefully if he ordered already he wasn't looking for that slim and cool factor the P650SE has with it. But ya the 150SM-A is still a very good machine, was going to be my pick before he P650SE came out, though the 150SM-A does have advantages over the P650SE.

 

Yes neither system makes the other pointless. The p150sm is still pretty portable however compared even to other 15 inch power houses.

 

I was gonna order tonight or tomorrow night haha!
-noted changed to samsung ssd
-thick/heavy doesn't bother me at all
-need to get a future proof laptop for 5 years minimum

Which one did you go for? The 1613 or 1614?


Here's a review of the with benchmarks

970 version. This company makes a 17.3 980m SLI version as well O_O

1613!
i'm uploading pics now, and have questions, never owned a clevo/sager.

 

Questions! Some might be n00bizh lel.

A) Is there anyway to switch graphics between graphics, or they are both always on?
B) Is there anyway to disable integrated graphics, and run gtx980m full time (just curious)?
B) To overclock GPU, is it better to use MSI, or do it all through the "advanced overclocking settings at your own risk" in the bios?
C) To overclock CPU, you just turn the "BOOST" on in Bios?

 

A) graphics switching happens automatically, the dGPU is either on or off depending on your usage while the iGPU is always on, since all display signals are routed through there, which brings us to

B) the iGPU cannot be switched off, because then you would lose any display output

C) i can recommend nvidia inspector for nvidia gpu overclocking

D) try intel xtu for cpu overclocking, make sure that turbo boost is enabled in the bios

as a general rule id always recommend overclocking through software in windows rather than the bios, the former are more easily resettable if u go too high and the system gets unstable. of course u can always reset the bios as well, but that involves taking out the cmos battery, so a bit more of a hassle

 

thanks i really appreciate it

Where did you get the "2.0 T" emblem?

 

Hey guys! Just purchased this same model used, but haven't received the battery yet. I installed a new CPU and can't get the laptop to turn on for the first time while just plugged into the AC adapter. The light turns on that shows its plugged in then blinks green twice but nothing happens. Think i Just need the battery installed? :hi2:

Very Nice! Congrats mate. :thumbsup: Enjoy....

 

I'm debating this or an MSI GS70, how do you like the screen?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

The screen is pretty similar to the GS70 if you go for the standard one on the sager.

 

Saweet! So happy to know since I just placed order lol.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

 

Both use reasonable TN panels

 

McAudi, how's the rig man? Any AAA titles played? Do you play modded Skyrim at all?

I just ordered my system yesterday


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

 

Loving the system, no flaws yet!
handles everything.
been mostly playing bf4 and payday 2.

also does anyone know how to oc my cpu even further i7-4810mq?


added a 2nd ssd ( could add up to 5 hard drives)


did a windows index score thingy 7.7

 

the 48xx series can be overclocked by a maximum of +400 mhz, thats the max u can get out of your model

 

sold my m4 crucial ssd and picked up a Samsung 850 PRO 128GB SSD

 

thx for the info!
