Clevo Overclocker's Lounge

The scores are getting higher. OMG

 

LOL. Thought we should deliver good results from P870, HaHa
You have more cores and it's unfair
Nice with proper hardware

 

And with proper person.

 

Exactly why I'm not competing, just showing.

That's why the big old debates about world records.

Don't think I didn't notice you taking down my 3940XM records....Was looking for a machine to go back and re address that.

 

You have twice as many cores = Put it this way 11.64 x 2 = Cinebench 11.5 23.28 pts, HaHa.

 

Now what about the people that bought this machine with an i5-6500?
Bahahaha!

 

I took me 3 days to unlock my bios overclocking features by myself .

And until prema release his custom bios i cant share any infos :/

 

I'm just messing with you. I already unlocked it.

 

With all these guys posting they scores and praising the modded BIOS, im actually going to go all ape **** to try and unlock mine.
Just a question, how dangerous is it to flash the BIOS with the wrong setting unlocked?

 

If you dont know what you are doing or dont have some basic knowing you shouldnt do this couse of bricking the bios!

 

I have previously worked with AMI and phoenix BIOSes, so not sure how much different the APTIO UEFI ones are. Right now reading up as much as i can, to figure things out.
Thanks for the heads up!

 

At least cheaper, LOL
Expect something like this ↓↓↓ ?

 

Or get a 20 dollar celeron.

Before people start bricking their systems in the hopes for some new high-scores...the results you see posted here by Prema Mod user don't simply come from some 'magical' BIOS switches...they required low level board power distribution changes and a bunch of other tweaks to get board locks out of the way.
It's really done 'under the hood' by the stuff that you don't see rather than what you can later see in the BIOS user interface...

@mT+ you may actually be lucky with your GTX970Ms in a sense that they barely touch the stock board limits.
Stock P870DM GTX980M+ SLI user already breach them with a tiny OC...

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....That's an internal secret.

 

The difference between Intel socket vs BGA in laptops...

It is very easy to decide whether to you want a BGA machine or not. Aka which laptop brand you should buy .

 

You know you want to rock the bga like it was your birthday back in 1999! Now fess up. I seen in one of your pictures of your benchmarks where it said, " Papusan Loves BGA"
It's alright.....

 

Papusan Loves BGA ... Yeah Because it's very easy to beat them in any benchmarks if you have proper socket hardware, LOL
And dont look under my Avatar

 

Hey when I made the old new records of 3940xm, I think I posted in some thread in this site. And I remember you clicked "like". So I knew you were gonna go after me again and you did.
Let me see... okay you left 4 records of mine and thx

You are the "proper person"

And I always wanted to ask this question since 2-3 years ago.
http://hwbot.org/submission/2347802_johnksss_cpu_frequency_core_i7_3940xm_5008.55_mhz
How did you make it 5G? Did you use any special cooling or just XTU clock and it go?

 

Mr. Fox beat you @ 11.63

 

I've tried myself and the problem was that I couldn't even flash any modded bios.
So before getting worried, save your own bios without even chaning anything from stock and then try to flash it.
This wont get your laptop brick because you didn't change anything but just saved it "unchanged".
But even doing so wont let you flash.

 

I have the same issue at like 4.8 forward, TS Bench works fine but others it seems to throttle due to a idle voltage spike then I have to reboot to get it to come back. I felt this was due to incorrect LLC at high clocks but I haven't found that perfect setting yet but I can calm down the idle voltage.

 

Same here. 4.8 works fine but above that, 4.9 and 5.0 is problematic.

 

Hi guys, just have a random question with regards to the prema BIOS, but more specifically the vbios.

So I'm aware that to get his System BIOS installed, for the most part you have to go to system vendor (p870dm) but, with regards to the vbios , I'm running dual 980m's is it a case of we download and flash the GPU BIOSes ourselves or do they have to be flashed by a vendor too?

Thanks

Martin

 

nope everything can be flashed yourself, its just a matter of being able to get ahold of the BIOS.

I know the 980M VBIOS is out for free for the public, Make sure you select the right one, GSYNC or non GSYNC:

https://biosmods.wordpress.com/gtx9-g/

Also, if it worked for you, please consider a small donation to Prema for his hard work so he can always give us improved BIOS/VBIOS

 

Bottom line is....You can't win them all. And with regards to that, i can't or wouldn't be mad.

And if you look at it again, it shows 4 cores and 4 threads.

 

Yeah the plan is to give him a donation . I'm talking to both eurocom and HIDEvolution ATM to see if they can get it installed, EC seem the better option ATM as they claim they can have the laptop back with me in 2 days give or take, I found the vbios for my cards (non-gsync 980m SLI ) SO I'll flash that myself later. just need to get the system BIOS installed!

 

Who did you buy your machine from? HIDevolution?

If it was from HIDevolution, was it a vanilla Clevo P870DM or a Eurocom Sky X9 but from HIDevolution like I did?

 

It was the vanilla clevo, however it's specced pretty much the same as the sky x9 minus the BIOS I believe is there much difference between vanilla p870dm and the sx9e?
From HIDEvolution yeah.

 

This is the world record for all laptop....

Yeah I also turned HT off myself but didnt work. So there wasnt anything you did special?

 

BTW guys, is it true that for better overclocks, one must turn CPU virtualization off? What do you guys have it on? disabled or enabled?

 

me on

 

Then at that point it boils down to chip.

I did it the Fox way and tried turning it off. But most of the time i just leave it at default which is on.

 

P

Did you bother to look at pics and score in my post ? I thought 11.64 beat 11.63. That's what I learned in the school, LOL
Look after one more time http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-overclockers-lounge.788975/page-30#post-10216053

 

Winning is fun. Helping others win is even more fun. I learned most of what I know from @johnksss and I suspect he enjoys watching me apply what I learned from him about as much as he enjoys winning. Maybe not, but that's how I look at it.

 

The only ones we are beating here with our achievements is the industry who sells us the same stuff year after year while it can already perform 30% or more right here and now without waiting for just another re-brand down the road...

 

Yeah, but Skylake was the right step vs Haswell(at least for laptops who have sockets). Caby Lake will be a minor step forward. I7-6700Hq for laptops is a big step back. 3.1 GHz all cores isn't a step forward

 

ENJOY it while it lasts...BGA has come to stay and not only for CPUs...

 

Dang, like the door in the face. I know one who will be very happy... Mr Azor and DELLIENWARE. The man who forced Alienware to go fully BGA.

 

Yeap, did that, saved the stock BIOS dump at 3 different places Gonna try and do what you said later today. Thanks for the heads up.
As @Prema said i dont think just unlocking will get me close to you guys with the "actual GOOD stuff" but atleast it will give control.

 

I just wanted to say that I just purchased the Prema mod bios from Eurocom and they were brilliant, walked me through it over the phone, I spoke to Kevin on the phone after John had initially set me up with the bios.

Looking forward to messing with this laptop PROPERLY now to see what my chip can really do!

 

The chip can do 4.8 ghz...lol

In a laptop that is..

 

For fun and for reference, here's my stock run...ain't enough time in the day for overclocking the CPU lol

 

That's a stock VBIOS it seems?

 

Yup sadly, won't be breaking any GTX 980 records anytime soon

 

you sure ? it does say Powered by premamod.com.

 

what is stopping you from using the Prema VBIOS brah?

 

that's the BIOS not the VBIOS
