    Hey guys I just ran a quick and dirty 3dmark bench of my p870dm laptop (without anything overclocked) Settings set to prefer max performance and single display mode in NVCPL) and my score was 12480 on 3DMark firestrike 1.1 at 1080p, is this good bad, unexpected?? I'm also on the stock bios.

    Thanks.

    WOW so i can theoretically reach the same speeds some of you guys are with this beast once i have an unlocked bios and some overclocks going on??? impressive.

    Just out of interest do you guys have loud fans when you are OC'ing/benching?

    I have a question for p870dm people.
    I am with p750dm and even if I turn the voltage from "dynamic" into "static", the voltage still fluctuate as if it is still "dynamic" mode with offset.

    How does p850 work on this matter?

    Just formatted and went back to a RAID 0 setup with Write Back Cache mode / 16K Data Stripe / 20% Overprovisioning in preparation to smoke you all in as much benchmarks as possible! :D

    I'd use intel XTU and msi afterburner to chart clocks/temps over the benchmark and look for any odd behavior, feel free to post up screenshots so we can take a look.

    Looks like your cpu clock is lower than stock and so is the power settings. This will help some if you can get them corrected.

    This is a stock 980m sli result, I would not expect yours to be this high but I would expect 14 k ballpark.

    @MartinMac1982
    As GTVEVO said, cpu clock is lower than stock and you need to adjust power setting as well.
    And I think you have a single memory stick? I think your memory is single channeled right now.

    @GTVEVO Actually, look at his graphic score. For stock 980m SLI it should around 21k...
    EDIT: forget it, I thought it was 3dmark11

    @MartinMac1982 Have you chekced if SLI is enabled on the Nvidia panel?

    I was stating the complete score as for graphics only he should be 19k , I have never see a stock 980m sli score 21k graphics at 1126mhz.

    I ordered 32 GB (and that's what windows sees) so if I'm not mistaken It should be on 2 sticks (the two under the bottom of the case are empty)

    Can you guys see anything that should be set differently in XTU to be "at stock" , when I pressed restore default profile I got some error saying couldn't apply a setting that was related to RAM

    Yeah SLI is enabled and physx is set to CPU.

    I've never EVER set it to CPU. You only set it to CPU if a particular game has a problem when set to Auto, Example: Batman Arkham Knight.

    No offense but don't change settings that you don't know about then complain about performance issues.

    Took me time to a Wprime 1024M bench at 4.8 GHz for the leadership post :rolleyes:. A very nice Wprime score with my BGA Pussy-Crushing Killer... Not bad with Raid 0 who decrease processor performance... Toolius who lead the Wprime 1024M in Hwboot. org (Stock ) wPrime - 1024M 4xCPU Ranking with a Core i7 6700K has the first place, but he bench with desktop Pc at 6.115GHz. I mean this is unfair :p http://hwbot.org/benchmark/wprime_-...012&cores=4#start=0#interval=20#coolingType=1
    Retested also Cinebench 11.5 with 4.8 GHz today, but got the same score as before (11.58) :D

    @Phoenix you must insert my Wprime 1024M score in the leadership post in the first page. Click the spoiler for results ;)

    Just ran it again changing NOTHING but putting Phys-x on Auto and the score increased to a measly 12653 (from 12408) . Something definitely not setup right with my system. Appreciate the suggestions though guys.

    First of all, it might help if you put your laptop specs in your signature like everyone does. I don't even know what CPU you have to suggest anything, nor do I know what laptop make you have in order to tell what kind of BIOS you might have.

    Can you Put into (132.617 Sec) along with the Wprime 1024M score Measured in minutes.

    147 sec is too low score for OC at @4.4 GHz :rolleyes:

    You can't go (well, I guess you could, but why) picking easy targets as people to compete against. So that is why I took everyone within your 4.9 ghz range to compare with. You need to remember that not everyone will be as good or as bad as you. Different operating systems. Different setups. Different types of cooling and room temps all play a role in this.
    So when you say world record, you need to be the one with the best wprime score of all laptops. or in the case of this thread. (Sager/Clevo Laptops)

    This is why I kind of stopped doing threads like this, to many want the results to be pulled in their favor....

    Pretty much, too many factors. In general a score difference of plus minus 5% is to be expected.

    World record means of all laptops at a specific benchmark ran.

    Now there is nothing wrong with personal records though.

    Hey everyone. New user of the Prema bios and vbios here. :)

    Was wondering if any of you had optimal/ideal settings for 980m SLI in nvidia inspector. I keep experiencing crashes so I need to establish optimal/adequate voltage for the vbios before I can really take advantage of the full Prema Bios. I already have two 330w AC adapters and the converter box so power isn't a concern. At the moment I just want to do moderate (about a 200MHz offset) over-clocks but first want to make sure I can get everything stable first. If I can do that then I'll attempt dwelling more into the bios which I'm still a beginner at. Anyone else with 980m SLI and Prema Bios and Vbios who can help me out, please? Thank you. :) The rest of my specs are in my signature just in case it's needed...

    hey man how is that G.Skill RAM running for you? does it work at the advertised speed with no issues?

    If I overclock my Samsung 64GB RAM to 2400 MHz or 2666 MHz. It doesn't crash or anything and is fine during benchmarks, but when I play a game like Need For Speed Rivals, the game suddenly dips to 5 FPS and sticks there until I exit it so I don't think it's 100% stable.

    Heya' Phoenix, it runs great. I did a post about it in a thread I made a while back before I had a chassis swap. But here's a link: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-p870dm-g-wont-boot-after-swapping-ram.785267/page-3

    :)

    I used the HWiNFO64 to help someone out by showing the RAM specifics. Towards the middle of the page on that particular thread. It runs perfectly fine since it's native 2666MHz I'm assuming (games, applications, etc). Basically each module averages 1329.7MHz to 1333.4MHz when idle.

    So how do you overclock the RAM in the bios if you don't mind my asking (which values do I manipulate in the bios and what would it translate to in-terms of clock speed)? Would like to try to get to 2800MHz or 3000MHz. According to G.Skill this RAM is designed for overclocking and has auto over-clocking (not in stock bios, of course). Willing to help however I can. :D

    So after a bit of tinkering I'm finally starting to get somewhere , I applied Phoenix's suggestion of putting an offset of -150 to the voltage and am slowly starting to tweak my settings to see how far I can get, the issue i was running into was that my turbo boost short power max and turbo boost max were set way to low so as soon as my chip was trying to reach the clocks i had it set too the power limits kicked in and stopped it.

    About to run the 3dmark bench again to see if the score improves now I'm ACTUALLY at stock. Then I'll start oc'ing the chip a bit.

    So I lowered my offset to -115mv and tried setting my multi to 44x , low and behold it went through the XTU stress test without fail. Although some way off the lofty clocks of the likes of mr. Fox I'm very b
    Happy with this purchase so far....and my new found clock speeds of 4.4Ghz. (Well 4.37Ghz really as I'm assuming due to it being set in XTU it doesn't actually set the full 100mhz ref clock???)

    Is there a top limit I should be putting on my max power boost and the current boost to be safe? As I was under the impression this doesn't cause danger to the chip that excessive voltage does. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

    Edit : forgot to mention temps. At 4.4 they are barely touching the 80's under full load.

    I've let it on CPU since Metro 2033 laged a lot when on Auto (I was using 2 gtx780 in SLI and a 3930k at the time). The game was almost always using 99% of the GPUs then when on a physics heavy scene, if not on CPU the usage of GPUs would fall and so the fps too.

    Since then, I thought that was best for every heavy game.

    Also I didn't told him or anyone to use it on CPU, he just said he let it on CPU and I said I do that too.

    Is it possible to get the G.Skill RAM in a 64GB kit, or do you simply purchase 4x16GB sticks?

    Also, my understanding is that the sticks in kits are tested together ensuring(?) compatibility. So, if there's not a 64GB kit, and there's a problem with compatibility; is it possible to work around that?

    I'm working with two separate 2x8Gb Hyper X 2400 kits to sum 32gb. Its being fine. I didn't tried to overclock it even further than the stock 2400mhz though.
