Clevo Overclocker's Lounge

Thank you, and great job!!!

I hit 80C in GPU in really intensive games, I wonder if this is a really bad thing or if it's okay?...

 

hm, ill have to revisit this... as mentioned before, i do sport PremaMod, but so far it always made the impression that even though i set the values separately from each other, the Vcore would adjust itself to the cache offset (when checking the total voltage values before and after separate cache voltage adjustment in the Prema Bios). I will try and see what happens if I uninstall XTU, do an NVRam reset and only change values in the Bios. maybe thatll help with my cache and static voltage woes

Is that with fans on auto, overclock or full? If it's on auto and the fans are sitting around 2400 rpm, then 80c is good, mine sits at 79c after a couple of hours of graphically intense gaming at that rpm. If you're hitting that on full fans, then that seems a bit high.

Edit: I have a single 1080 with vapor chamber heatsink.

Fans on max, but on P775, not P870, so no vapor chamber for me.

 

Ahhh.. my bad, didn't check your signature. Well in that case I have no idea!

Man this machine is fun to tinker with. Having trouble getting 4.6 to not throttle back down to 4.1 randomly but I might need to play around with the cache voltage.
The temps with single 1080 and the Vapour are around high 60s low 70 at full load with the fans are sitting on their backside doing nothing. It's a silent experience for gaming. Benching at max fans is fine too. They are loud but they mean business.

 

Not hot enough to cause harm, but warm enough to make 1080 slow down a little bit.

indeed... My wife doesn't like that while we are watching TV together, but I love these fans. They do mean business. The are very loud, but not loud enough for me to be bothered by it. Powerful and cool trumps quiet and hot. Quiet and hot is for turdbooks.

 

i see what u did there

.. Deplorable..

 

Imma pack my bags now. xD j/k

But yeah, when i tried the max fans on my friends DM3, they sounded blissful. Like No Hairdryer or Razer High pitched annoying. They sound beefy.

 

Try Evolve Stage 2 when you get a chance. Lemme know CPU & GPU temps =D

 

Shadow warrior 2 is great for testing SLI setups

 

Okay...

I'm a bit conerned that I can't max everything out in Metro Redux Last Light, and I won't get 60fps in FHD. Well, compared to desktop GTX1080 benchmarks, it scores really well, but it's sad that the game itself needs so much power...

 

It still reaches 94 on CPU, even with CPU limited at 4.0 GHz and -70mV, after a few hours of playing...

GTX 1080 is fast, but still won't run literally all games in FHD and everything maxed out

 

#Unoptimization

 

Sounds like an awful paste job, bad heatsink, or really thick paste between the die and IHS.

 

I think it's more that the cooling system can't handle both. Or it could be warped.

My stock with joke cpu and physics score.

 

You meant a nice OC'd 6820hk physics score?

 

Yeah, that to.

 

So, what you are saying is basically that our stock results represent a turdbook's best effort under ideal conditions?

 

If they are lucky in the silicon lottery. Or should I rather say in the motherboard lottery?

You'll need external cooling if you want to actually use that 4x 330W setup.

 

He wont need those 4x 330W psu's.

 

You may want to make sure you push that into not just the fans but the rest of the case to try and help out the VRMs if you are not already.

 

So the transition ( addition, in a way? ) begins :

Spoiler: Part 1

 

What do you mean...Transition? Don't you mean....Addition.

 

Haha. True . But not sure how much attention each system will get, once the other "monstrosity" is assembled.

 

2 X E5 2699v3 and 2 X Titan XP.

 

I expect to see you here http://hwbot.org/benchmark/wprime_-...sor_3737&start=0#interval=20#cores=36#start=0

 

Lol sure thing!

 

Oh, that PC sounds adequate for my needs.

Yes, I said "adequate".

=D

 

For half of what I do it's over kill. And the other half, it's barely enough
Not sure what you want to do with it though.. naughty stuff ?

 

No no, everything clean, everything legit.

Unless you count gaming/streaming/recording while having a million other things open at the same time as naughty. Maybeeeee while rendering something out too. But I probably won't have enough CPU power so I'll do that separately =D.

What are the clocks like for you guys on the notebook 1080's?

 

It's just like me. I jump between that and my laptops. When I'm not working that is.

@bloodhawk
2010 to 2114 mhz or so....

 

Mine are like 1810mhz if I remember correctly, I'll check again later.

 

Yeah that's what I'm hoping to do as well. Probably going to turn the P870DM into the next to the bed system for now

Those are clocks are nice! Specially with the VC temps.

Aye capn'.

I wanna see how much I can push my friends DM3. With everything default/stock he maxes 1936Mhz in a 65F room.

 

Does anyone remember what the regedit was to disable the restart requirement for enabling SLI?

I remember on my M18x I changed a registry entry in regedit and it worked, but don't remember which one it was.

 

Use a @j95 mod and it will be already done and you won't have the extra NVIDIA cancer crap installed.

Find: RmDynamicSLI Enabled - change 0 to 1 on all registry keys where it is not already a 1, then reboot.

Edit: Use this one... https://www.techinferno.com/index.p...ort-modded-inf/&do=findComment&comment=151731

Be sure to delete all of the cancer folders as instructed by Brother J. Download the correct Clevo INF zip file and the desktop GeForce driver in the link provided by @j95

 

Forgot to mention... desktop drivers (and @j95 mod) do not install any RmDynamicSLI registry keys at all. That's an NVIDIOT " let's be stupid to laptops" exclusive driver feature. Use DDU to clean out the old drivers and registry entries before installing the driver mod. I stopped using laptop drivers and switched to using desktop drivers a couple of years ago because of all the unnecessary garbage NVIDIA adds for laptops that impairs performance, bloats the registry and adds nothing of value.

 

Clevo just released a new nVIDIA Driver v21.21.13.6956

It will take me 38 hours to download from their crappy server.

 

I generally don't use Clevo (or other OEM) drivers, but especially not the GPU drivers. As often as possible I go with generic drivers from component manufacturers. 369.56 won't be validated by Futuremark because it's not a "normal" driver release.

 

one thing that always puzzles me is, why does the Clevo version of the nVIDIA driver contain the Miracast Audio Driver whilst the nVIDIA ones doesn't. I try to always stick with the latest Clevo driver and it usually causes me less headaches than the latest ones from nVIDIA.

 

Some of the NVIDIA drivers do have Miracast and others do not. I am not sure why that is. I have no use for Miracast anyway. I only use modded GPU drivers with all of the extra garbage removed. I only want the barebones driver and NVCP and PhysX. As you already know, the latest is frequently not the greatest when it comes to drivers and firmware. In fact, the latest drivers and firmware can sometimes be the worst. Once I am on a stable driver version I stay on it forever and never update unless a new driver makes my machine run faster, bench better, or fixes something that was broken. Sometimes a game requires a GPU driver update, but if I am not playing that game I ignore the update.

 

Reason being. And I have ran into this on more than a few occasions with client machines. Coming out of sleep fails. Coming out of hibernation fails. They come out with a black screen and you have to sleep, open lid and do a bunch of other things in hopes that the screen comes back on. And when that fails you have to push the power button for 6 seconds to shut off and restart.

 

Yup, sleep and hibernation have been plagued with tendencies toward malfunction for as long as I can remember. I always disable hibernation from the command prompt and turn off sleep functionality in the power profiles on all of my systems. I use my computers two ways: (1) turned on; and, (2) turned off. I have no legitimate reason to use sleep or hibernation, but I know some people really like those features. I don't mind waiting an extra second or two for a cold boot. I'd rather have a machine that runs right more than one that shows me the desktop 2 seconds sooner, LOL.
