Clevo P870DM-G Review

The slave card definitely a big difference without cooling pad on! But still with my OC temps are really nothing to be concerned with. Still very happy!

 

indeed very good temps still but now you see how the slave card runs 9-10c hotter... probably made your cpu runa bit hotter too since the heatshink is so close to the gpu heatsink. This is what I am talking about. I dislike the fact that the temps are 10c apart from each-other without cooling pad. @Papusan says the fans can possibly go higher but we still dont know how to adjust the fan settings. I wish i could adjust it on the secondary fan

 

Yea the biggest benefit of the pad is closing that gap between cards. But it is what it is and gotta do anything In your power to lower temps aka pad!

 

I cant remember where i saw it. There was a guy that had some kind of flat heat pipe and bridged both gpu heat sinks to share heat to each other and he manage to close up the gap a little bit. the primary card got a bit hotter but the secondary got a bit cooler so it played out good... I gotta find that post

 

Check it out!

I found it

i would really like to try something like this.

 

But for a person whos gonna use the laptop for video editing, is a better option the msi titan gt80s or dominator pro dragon?

 

So the audio is equal to nahimic from msi or not?

 

P870DM-G audio is very good.

 

For video editing the desktop cpu will give it an edge over the msi.

 

No laptop Audio solution will even come close to one needed for doing proper audio work. You will need to hook up an external sound card over TB3 or use a high end DAC/Soundcard solution.

 

At least on the P870dm, you've got some good options for output. The speakers are better than most laptops, I would say. But I'd agree, you would probably want to use speakers/heaphones.

 

Yeap, thats very true. Running an external DAC for now, waiting for TB3 enclosures or TB2 to TB3 adapters to come out.

 

This download for the calibration file don´t work

 

Here you go:
LG LP173WF4-SPF1 Spyder5Pro Calibration Profile

 

Each panel and your lighting will be different so you will need to tweak it still most likely.

 

It has great audio with un-upgradeable graphics cardz!

 

No, it's totally upgradeable graphics. The problem is, all Pascal GPUs are proprietary and a goofball size in order to block upgrades. Dirty deeds... seems like that is status quo now.

 

Block upgrades? No. Simplify design, yes.

 

Basically the P870DM is no different from a BGA laptop now thanks to Clevo, even I would say its unupgradeble..

 

I understand what you are saying... but, if it doesn't fit, then it's blocked whether by design and intent, or by practical application. We all knew something would eventually change, but there was more to it than needing a bigger PCB for more stuff.

For example, the proprietary EC signal Clevo requires that @Prema has mentioned that allows only Clevo-sanctioned video cards is a pure bull hockey upgrade blocking ripoff shenanigan if I ever saw one. What say you, Brother @j95? Cannot even use an MSI GPU that does fit now? Nice!

Seems to me like they knew what we would want to do and made sure we could not. And, that wasn't very nice.

Wrong. It is upgradeable, but there is nothing to upgrade to thanks to the concerted efforts of Clevo and MSI... thanks, guys... appreciate all you've done for your customers. NOT!
