Clevo Overclocker's Lounge

New AS SSD Benchmark score

 

I think my GPU has given up the ghost - even my 1.34 GHz overclock is unstable. I have to bring it down 40 MHz to get a zero-crash game on Witcher 3. Sigh...

 

how come? Did you OC it too much that on the long run it failed?

 

It hasn't failed entirely - just that what was previously stable, now isn't. I need to reduce my overclocks. Furthermore, my GPU regularly gets very very hot, much hotter than it usually does. The GTX 860M runs at 1.1 GHz stock; I don't think a 200 MHz OC would affect it so significantly.

 

how about a re-paste with IC Diamond bro?

 

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing that. Or maybe CLU?

 

I don't know about your laptop but for me, switching from CLU to IC Diamond reduced my temps by up to 10C. We know CLU is the best but the problem is with my laptop's heatsink, it doesn't make good connection with the CPU/GPU and since CLU is very thin, it isn't optimal here. IC Diamond is thicker and makes great contact between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink giving better heat dissipation.

 

Either way a new mobo runs for 300+ usd so its same if you break your cpu or mobo. In my case my mobo went to sh**

 

A cpu is alot easier to replace in this case....

 

Agree thats why i prayed i damaged the cpu instead of the mobo. My down time is estimated at a month thats max hoping i could get it before my bday on the 25th. Hoping sager fixes it asap

 

Ouch! Now that's gotta hurt if you have to wait the whole month.

Saw this article. Turns out the RX 480 is a 100W card, up to 150W with a six pin, at 60C. Sounds easy enough to put into an MXM form factor. Has comparisons to 980 OC cards, Titan X, etc.

 

I'm not an AMD man but I do love competition, that would be awesome.

 

We will have to wait and see, I hope to see a return to form too.

 

So I ordered the new 6700k overnight delivery Monday after I ruined the other. I was expecting it to arrive today, I get an email from Amazon every single one of their sellers who does prime and overnight are back ordered. So today I cancelled that order and rush and overnighted from newegg, hopefully it arrives tomorrow or Friday. The computer god's are punishing me.

 

Folks need your help again... I had the OC setup as the OP at 45. It was working flawlessly until a few days ago. Now it starts to thrtottle whenever I start encoding. It started at 45x normal.. after a few seconds it dropped down

if i leave he encoding going it fluctuates. as soon as i stopped the encoding like a minute later it jumped back to 45x
What can be the reason now if it was working properly?

 

If you have Liquid Ultra then we discovered that it doesn't make good contact with the heatsink due to how thin CLU is so when I re-pasted with IC Diamond I got a decrease in 10 degrees in temps.

Post a pic of HWiNFO while you are doing the encoding and it throttles

 

I assum that the top id code for my GTX980 is what I need to mod drivers. Do I need the whole id code? Never tryed this before.

 

Check if the temperatures are too high. If its not that then, increase the Turbo power limits.

EDIT: Doesn't seem like its the temperatures. Its either your power limits are low, or in winndows power profiles the processor states are not maxed out.

What mod ?

 

@Phoenix I have IC Diamond.. Clu is only inside the cpu ( delided )

 

If I want to mod drivers who is not intended for my graphics card.

 

Post a picture of this :

 

Yeap, seems like the Turbo power limits are not set properly in the BIOS.

 

hmm I have followed the steps off the OP.. what should I do to fix that?

Note: It was working fine for a couple months, the past few days it started doing that without me touching anything

 

Double check the settings in the BIOS for one. And if that still doesn't fix it, start encoding something and keep a close eye on HWinfo for what might go red or be causing this.

 

Just did so.. Everything is similar. When encoding nothing goes red. the IA;Max turbo lmit still says no.. i am lost

 

What are the voltages set at ?

 

well now im fkd... on another computer now,, I changed a few normal things in the bios and now laptop wont even boot. Just a black screen. what a fkn mess.

 

Well reset the BIOS, the CMOS battery is under the keyboard. Take it out for 30 seconds and put it back in. The first boot with take way longer than usual.

 

Under the keyboard? Pardon my ignorance. how u take the keyboard off this machine?

 

just pop the cmos out and back in?

 

Yeap, leave it out for 30 seconds.

 

thanks a lot mate. should be back tomorrow and start with default settings and go from there. This crap driving me nuts. 1am here...
thanks again

 

Heads up, and do not mean to offend, but these questions are better in the p870dm thread. Even though we troubleshoot or go off topic on occasion, there is a plethora of information on your specific laptop there. It's a long thread, but has hours of work of troubleshooting you won't get here. After you get the rig setup, look forward to the scores. I'll be taking at least one on the op this weekend....

are you sure you are on the performance plan in the Clevo Control Center and on the High Performance plan in Windows Power Management?

 

Indeed both are set as stated.

well i disconnected the cmos cable, left it out for like a minute... even held the power button down, still black screen :/
do i need to unplug anything else than that red cable from the cmos?

 

sometimes when you save the Turbo Power Max and Turbo Short Power Max in BIOS, it doesn't stick, please check what are both values again (they should be 220000) and ensure your PSYS max current and VR Current limits are 8191 everywhere and power limit 1, 2, 3, 4 are 300000

you also need to ensure that you removed the laptop battery not only the CMOS battery, then while both batteries are out, press the power button a few times then wait for 180 seconds then plug both back and power on, first boot should take time if the reset happened correctly

 

i removed battery, disconnected the cable from the cmos, pressed the power button for 1 minute, put everything back in, black screen

 

LOL not the cable. Thats the speaker cable. Take the battery out. The tiny coin cell.

Though it is not necessary to take out the system battery to reset CMOS, it is suggested to do so since it clears the EC as well.

 

first time it takes a lot of time as we have fast RAM bro. Be patient, do it again, don't forget to unplug the AC power cable

 

He didnt take out the CMOS battery , just the cable next to it. (the speaker cable)

 

sorry, I thought he was trying to do an NVRAM reset, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

dont make fun of a noob hehe... will try popping the biatch out now... will report back

 

Yeap he is, just didn't know that the cable isn't what is needed to reset CMOS. Thanks for pointing out the system battery pull though, i never suggest that even though i should. (i myself never do it )

You gucci bruh.

We all start somewhere. I started by frying my Riva TnT 2

Be careful when popping it out. Use a fingernail or thin blunt tipped object.

 

I used a toothpick lol... now waiting a few more seconds to turn it back on and hopefullly heavens opens

 

Yeah it will take a more than a minute for the first boot .

 

did j00 use canola oil when frying it? was it tasty?

Trust teh P|-|03n!X

 

Oh hell no. I never use anything other than Olive Oil.
