    Not quite mate, only 4.11 GHz, but it was still better than anything haswell/broadwell could muster.

    I'd say skim through the thread, I have a feeling @Mr. Fox or @Johnksss@iBUYPOWER might have had a higher score.
    I might be wrong.

    No worries bro, I technically own about 9 of those titles on the front page.

    Don't use Nvidia inspector with the 1080. Use Afterburner or Precision.
    They offer way more control for Pascal.

    Voltage control isn't as simple as moving a slider anymore.
    Custom fan curves.
    Are 2 of the main reasons.

    Also, the clevo bios / ec fan controller is okay in GPU, it o my spins randomly in CPU with CCC installed ;_;

    Anyone got a spare CPU for the DM2/3 that makes solid contact they can loan me or sell?
    I want to join in on the fun but having this goofy heatsink is robbing me such pleasures.

    Do you get anything out of tightening the ram in that situation or is there no benefit or does it interfere with the CPU clock?

    Hard to say Brother @Meaker@Sager . I'll give you an example...
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    To be honest, I'm not really seeing the benefit as much. I see more with going with more ram or faster ram over timings. Timings look good in the screen shots, but usually there are other things that help far more.

    I couldn't get a wPrime 32m without it freezing (lowest time I have is 4.35s so far, haha)... but was able to get a CPUID validation @ 4886.82MHz. Also one at 4890.44MHz, but don't have a settings screenshot :oops:

    49x4 CPU, 43xCache, +50mV adaptive... Stock BIOS, stock air cooling with laptop pad :)

    I'm still getting a lot of throttling when CPU/GPU are both under load. I hooked up a wattage meter between PSU and the wall... For the most part it stays within the 330W limit, I've seen it only once bump 331W. Mostly the high is around 280W or so and generally under 300W.

    Awesome, can't wait to get @Prema BIOS to reign in my beast's wild fluctuations! Will be nice to get all the extra configuration for OC'ing! :D

    I had tried doing static voltage as you had recommended based on the (stable) voltages it reached during adaptive mode with offsets... But even setting it static the voltages ended up being much higher than I had actually set them :eek:

    Can someone give me the basics of ThrottleStop?

    I'd like to have three profiles, one for AC power, where, if the CU requests it, I want unfettered power, but quickly downclocks under idle loads to keep fan noise down.

    The second profile will be for battery power, where the CPU clocks will be limited, as well as TDP/voltage/whatever.

    The last profile will be for ultra low power use, where the CPU is severely limited, to get maximum battery life.

    How do I go about doing this for my 4710MQ, which is currently at stock?

    just curious but is there way to plug in the gpu power cable the wrong way, so that it throttles faster? probably an completely stupid question but i just look at the P775DM3 service manual and i even miss the thermal pad under the gpu :confused:

    Very true with the crappy fans Clevo has used this time!! Must be their way of stopping coil whine RMAs and saving few $$ on fans..

    I haven't noticed any coil whine even if if the fans are not running.

    There is some coil whine in some applications, like Photoshop, but in the moments there is coil whine, there is also usage and subsequent fan speed.

    I mean, it's not when fans are staying in place, but it's there when the fans are at 50% for certain applications.

    This is what made me curious, the same software performing two different algorithms, one algorithjm creates whine coil and one doesnt... I wonder why... Also, is using something that creates whine coil going to shorten the life of the electronic ?

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I have a p650RS-G with i7-6820HK CPU. I'd like to see if I can hit 4.0GHz (or more) with the CPU which is currently running at 3.2-3.6GHz. I have throttle stop open but I'm not sure what to try.

    The turbo multiplier doesn't go over 36T which I guess can lead to 3.6GHz. How do I go over that?

    Whoa!

    Did madshi fix the coil whine?

    There was coil whine without 100% CPU core load and at 25fps (movie). I can understand if it happened in very high fps but at 25fps, it is a bit strange..
