Clevo Overclocker's Lounge

Hey guys... if you have a 3K or 4K panel, you might appreciate this tweak. It has made my text viewing much more pleasant without screwing up all of the scaling. I like using 100% scaling ONLY and this made a massive improvement for me. I am enjoying the 3K a whole lot more after doing this.

Open NotePad, paste the code below into it. Save it as DPI-Fix.cmd. Right click, run as admin. Log off/Log on and enjoy. @Phoenix

Code:

REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DpiScalingVer /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00001018 /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Win8DpiScaling /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000078 /f

 

That´s cool!

I use Reg Key for deactivate winscript.
So i set enabled to 0 or 1 when i need windows script hosting.
It´s a litte safer in these times.

Code for xy.reg file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings]
"DisplayLogo"="1"
"ActiveDebugging"="1"
"SilentTerminate"="0"
"UseWINSAFER"="1"
"Enabled"="0"

 

It seems like my system is back to normal again after restoring my image to eliminate the CCC/Hotkey cancer. For those that hate CCC and do not have it installed, look in the BIOS for the custom fan control option. Change that to disabled. FN+1 still works for me and the fans seem to function better. The fans are more responsive and my machine runs cooler doing things like playing games. Even so, they have never come on full blast, perhaps because they work smarter instead of harder.

 

I'll try that for my tv later. Thanks!

Finally.. finally .. got these temps under control. Dam the pain is worth the gain. Yipikaye
Now I got some premium copper I can at least try and see what kind of silicon I'm sitting on.

Actually using CLPro for the first time too.

 

Xbox/PlayStation are only decent for specific games. Most people I know own both a nice PC/Laptop and either a xbox or playstation and would never play a FPS game on xbox/playstation. So while you could do this why would you?

 

I have an Xbox one and it strictly for the Forza racing series...

 

I wouldn't personally. And, FPS games are (with a few exceptions here and there) the only kind of games I enjoy playing. KB+M are the only way to fly in FPS. However, I would do that in a heartbeat before I would waste a single dime of my money on a BGA gaming turdbook. The comment was only to illustrate what a poor value those disposable overpriced pieces of trash are for playing games.

 

Got ya, I would have never considered dropping a lot of money on one either when a laptop such as this is available for the same price or less than some of the options out there.

 

I wish all "gamers" felt that way and maybe then we would have more than only a couple of decent options instead of being totally surrounded by worthless trash.

 

Maybe consider adopt the picture "Got filth?" from Fox sig and put it in your!! Or create a similar

 

Unfortunate but the majority of gamers only see what is offered at Best Buy, Microcenter, Fry's, etc. It could be worthy for these companies to invest some money into advertisement (TV).

 

Wait... I can use my clevo without max fans?

Nah that's some kind of myth. Max fans all day keep cool all game

 

You got to try Metro 2033 series and Singularity.

If you game intensive, you will need the max fans, but for any other activity auto is enough. The point was that besides activities that need FN+1, all the other activities are handled by the Auto profile with less noise and without major overheating.

 

Very successful test with 4.4 GHZ.
The temperatures also remain well below 70 degrees Celsius at room temperature of 21.1 degrees Celsius.
Now I will do more stress tests.

 

No bro!! Run Wprime 1024M correctly. You need select 8 threads

 

Outside of my love and devotion to all things computing, I'm an avid bodybuilder. I'm a big guy, so I love the cold. When I'm down in my garage, I wear a t-shirt and some jeans. If you live in the Northeast, you get use to the temps during the Fall/Winter. Warm weather for us here is 45 to 50 degrees or 10C. I'm not kidding. People will break out shorts and t-shirts on 10C days.

 

I already do play Metro 2033 and Last Light. I don't have Singularity yet. May try to grab that on sale next time I see it for half price or less. Looks like a good game.

 

Now I have done an AIDAS stress test with 4,4 GHZ on all cores.
74 degrees C maximum temperature with such a stress test I can not classify correctly - 5 minutes at a room temperature of 21.5 degrees C.

Tomorrow and the days I will make more tests.
For today I have to play once again a round Fallout 4.

It´s also a test to gamble a round Fallout 4.

See you later Guys.

 

Noise? What noise? I can't hear fans over my two loud lasko fans and my closed-ear headset. FN+1 ALL DAY ERRYDAY #COOL

 

Over Christmas I might properly dive into Deus Ex

 

Mr. Fox I am an old man.
I am 56 years old and my first computer was an Amiga 500 1987.
I come from the good old DOS time and have still used Multiplan and Corel Draw or other quite old products.
And still I love computer games.
I've enjoyed network parties at a young age, but I've been too old for that.
A colleague has invited me again, but I can no longer gamble until 3:00 in the morning.
The time I still have I understand as a fun time and I am looking forward to every further computer minute.
Understand me now a little.
But I also understand for you.
Overclocking is their life.
I thank you for many nice minutes with them and the others here.
And will enjoy the rest of the time.
My life is gambling.
I created a lot with my own levels in Unreal and enjoyed the many first mod for Doom (First). I am grateful for her fan mod.Therefore I am now also happy to have this beast temperature-controlled under control. The step from the Clevo P375smA to the P870DM3-G is already huge.
I have not experienced the experience of the first P870. Unfortunately.
I will continue my stable test and the goal is almost reached.
Because at 4.4 GHZ on all cores and Fallout 4 I had only 64 Degress C tonight at room temperature of 21.8 degrees Celsius. Cool!

 

Nice! Seems we have much in common including our ages. I will be 54 next month. There are more old gamers, overclockers and head-bangers than the young bucks might imagine.

One member of the overclocking community here that we know and love is close to 80 now. Awesomeness is ageless. I raised my sons from a young age playing PC games starting with Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D and Quake. They are now fully grown and starting families of their own. But, dad is still more serious about gaming and overclocking than they are.

Glad to hear that you are taming the beast. Good job.

 

You old farts need to create your own thread! j/k loving my middle aged-ness (42)

(and 50's is not old at all, 60's is getting close and 70's is old. Funny how that changes over time)

 

It's the big 3-0 for me next year

 

Dang!! Have seen you here in ages. Night - days... Weekdays and weekends. And still a young bucks

 

I am sure many of us old gamers are out there. I am in my mid 40's but remember the 386 computer my dad bought back when I was in high school (those were ridiculously expensive at the time compared to computers today). First PC games though were later on after high school (StarCraft, Tribes, Unreal Tournament, Quake Arena, Battlefield 1942 and Everquest). There were many more games but those are the ones that stuck out in my head as being a lot of fun.

 

I joined the forum when I started uni so 18

 

Just hit 49 this month

 

When will Kaby Lake be released?

 

I read the comments here in the forum long before, but I joined the forum first when I was almost 50 Only then, I pulled myself together dared to write a few posts

 

You two were from my dad's class of overclockers/hackers/phreakers.

Sounds like your sons, Mr. Fox, were raised on the same games my dad raised me on. Loved Apogee and Microprose games back then! Unfortunately I am nowhere near as good at DOS as I used to be when I was a little kid (not to say I can't get around or that I didn't use those same programs @jointhegame).

I'm trying to get him back into overclocking and tinkering, but it's a slow process.

Meanwhile, didn't realize I'm older than you @Meaker@Sager (admittedly not by much). Gotta love the diversity of age and walks of life in this forum!

Please tell me you all remember catacombs!!! There is another early one...

I was raised on a diet of the BBC micro followed by Doom and duke nukem (2d and 3d).

 

Zork
Castle Wolfenstein
Dragons Lair
Lands of Lore. 25 floppy disk to install.
Doom and Duke Nukem

 

Wow.. how interesting. I'm 33 and was introduced to PCs with an Amiga 500 and games like Crazy Cars. But the days of Doom and Quest for Glory are most memorable for me.
It's good to be among such a diversity of level headed people. Here's to another year!

 

I am told V1.05.04 BIOS and V1.05.08 EC are the latest we have.

 

Yes, Catacomb 3-D came shortly before Wolfenstein 3D. It was fun times.

I still like using a command prompt about as much as a GUI. It feels more like I am in control when I type out a command and hit enter, LOL.

My first computer was a Tandy with an 8088 4.77 Mhz CPU that ran everything from a 720KB 5.25" floppy disk. That was about 1983. The games I enjoyed were written in Qbasic and used a monochrome display. My favorites were "Nibbles" and "Gorillas" games. I used a variety of computers for work and started gaming on a beige colored 286-powered Compaq laptop with a trackball on the palm rest. That was quite a novelty. It was sporting the new 5.25" floppy drive. It seemed so fast at the time. This was before HP purchased Compaq Corporation. That laptop belonged to my employer. My second home PC purchase was a Packard Bell 486SX that seemed like it cost a fortune at the time. I think that was in 1991. That was also my first Windows PC. It had Windows 3.11 for workgroups if I remember correctly. It had a car racing game and audio. I was so stoked about that. It seemed amazing at the time.

I never actually embraced Windows until Windows 95 and even then it was still begrudgingly. I did not enjoy using the earlier versions of Windows. It reminded me of Apple crap too much and I hated that. Real men used DOS. I started to lighten up about using the wussy little girl's cartoon GUI by Windows 98. After I learned the convenience of multi-tasking I finally let it go.

 

Wow, now I feel young. First PC was a family-shared one in 2002. I started on Unreal Tournament '99 and Quake 3 Arena Demo xD. I had a PS2 at the time and I was on games like Final Fantasy X and Armored Core 2 and Gran Turismo 3 and Twisted Metal Black.

 

See, most of my games loaded from DOS, so I used DOS. Then my dad got the beta for Windows 95. That was so much better than the final release! (Just like tech preview over win 10!)

After getting back from Germany, my dad started building computers and that was one of the things we did together. By 93 or so, we had three family computers, the one in the living room/dining room area, my dad's, and the one in my room (my older sister had an Apple in her room, but I didn't give it much thought because it was an Apple). I remember when the living room was the only one with a CD drive (eventually I got one in my room). We had shelves of cases and components in the garage at one point (and spare ribbon printers out there)...

Edit: we had Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11 for workgroups, but I used mainly word processors and spreadsheets on there (I was an OCD/anal retentive scamp).

Never played Zorn or lands of lore, but definitely the rest!

Before I started traveling a lot for work about 12 or 14 years ago, I never owned laptops for myself. I bought them for my wife and daughter. I had my own desktop and each of my 4 sons had their own desktop by the time they were in first grade. All built by daddy. At one point we had 5 desktops and 2 laptops for the girls on the home network.

 

Nice! I didn't get a laptop until around 2009, cheap hp. But I was moving around more back then. Then used the student loan money to get a P170HM.

My dad used the extra money from building 386sx with math-cos to get extra for building ours. I didn't have my own until 3rd or 4th grade, but I helped build the ones he sold, etc. My first job was formatting disks for him (literally hundreds of floppy disks). I got paid by the disk, but got enough to buy my first walkman!

The desktop we built for me to go to college was an Athlon 2800+. That chip I had running 3.2 on air and lasted until I got my laptop (chip still ran fine, just was time to upgrade). Spent my extraneous cash on partying more when I was younger...

Now, overclocking and fine tuning my displays and speakers are my hobbies (and politics, news, researching, etc.). Getting more expensive, but it is fun and makes movies and research more fun!

I'm had an idea about @Mr. Fox's age ever since he posted a Firefox meme or trailer a ways back. At 46, seems like the fit is right for the rest of these posts.

Back in the day, I was gaming and writing code on an Apple ][ e back then. Gaming on things like Wizardry, Zork and Hitchiker's Guide.

 

Singularity has one of the best stories ever seen in a shooter. Gameplay is pretty fun with all the special powers involved, but it's the story you want to see in Singularity.

Power to the metal!





Me first computers and games were more along the lines of Pentium 4 and games were more along the lines of Age of Empires II, Diablo II, Warcraft III, Global Operations.

Seems I got a thing for tactical / strategy games.

Enjoyed Shadow Warrior and it's crazy fun adventure to the brim tho

 

Thanks meaker. I never heard back from the sager support team but @Johnksss@iBUYPOWER send me the files for 1.05.08. Will probably update in the next couple of days. Thanks again Johnksss!

 

No problem. And the update takes all of about 35 seconds.

 

My favorite list Amiga 500 was a little longer:
Ports of Call, Monkey Islands; Pinball Fantasy and others from the series, Lemmings, Bubble Bobble, Alien Breed, Indiana Jones, Syndicate, Canon Fodder, Pirates and many more.
My change to a spurious game PC was an i486 microprocessor DX4 100.
Then the games came out in parallel. My first game on the DX4 100 was Command & Conquer and so on.
It was interesting with Doom. I was allowed to see the test version, where only the opponents stood around and did not move, but then one could already see what that meant for the game world. Only the revolution of the light conditions was worth the game.
You are right, the forerunner of many was Wolfenstein 3D.
It was a pleasure to defeat the bosses like the cook.
And the hidden entrances behind the walls were not easy to find.
The whole development is far from being an end.
The virtual world has just begun.
VR eyewear interests me already.
But I wanted to wait for the child's diseases.
And the first real games, perfectly adapted to the world of the world of VR, are coming.

 

No clue Brother @Phoenix

@jointhegame
3D came out in 1992 while castle came out in 1981. Back when the walls could make a person dizzy.

I forgot one. Cave adventure something or the other.(75-77) was before Zork (77-79) Text base games before they had minecraft graphics. Asteroids 1980...Yep, i do remember a few...

 

Hey. Missile command was the shizzy eh? Anybody remember that? And what Windows XP pinball game.

 

Yep. Totally remember that one.

 

That pinball game was awesome in a way. We used to goof off at work and we'd all get competitive for the high score.
