    And even so, the cooling is not the most quiet one. I wonder if clevo could had released a better cooling solution, like liquid, or it should be nvidia to make cooler gpus?..

    If you think the p870dm is loud you should hear a gt80 series. My wife woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was vacuuming the room lol.

    I am very impressed by the sound level of 870DM. This rarely occur for a high end gaming laptop before and now. As I said, impressed :D. Would regardless preferred a more loudly fan aka even a better cooling capacity.

    At least it's not melting I suppose :p

    But there is some price to be paid for the extremely high power density you can get these days.

    @Papusan @Mr. Fox @bloodhawk

    LOL, a user on MDL forums saw my sig and thought it's a desktop due to the superb specs....he's like......

    I then replied telling him it's a 17 inch screen because it's a laptop :D :D

    socketed components FTW! Keeps them wondering :D

    It is no wonder that people buy garbage... You have seen all over the web that it is quite normal a lot of people buy crippled *** junk when many don't know that there is a better option out there. People should be a little more clever to look up information on several options than soldered junk before they spend all their hard earned savings :)

    I really overused this video, but it is a great response to what you just said :D






    Actually, I am amazed that people would spend more than 400$ on something with poor specs. I am like "why spend more? Brand?". But most people make their purchase decision based on either reviews or friend recomandations.

    I created an EVOC OEM info for you, edit the INF file if your laptop model is different than the one in the file, the example I made is for the P870DM-G:

    Updated the logo with a better scaling one so if you had downloaded the old file, delete it and download the new one

    You can clear HDDs pretty well with a few passes with the right software.

    I was PMed about erasing the HDDs.

    If you have personal sensitive data on there you really want to protect then:

    For SSDs then you will want to look into secure erasing them, it's technically a more simple process since if the drive is encrypted at the flash level it's just recreating the encryption key.
