**OFFICIAL M860TU/ETU Owners Lounge**

For some reason, when i am just browsing the internet, rm clock shows cpu going at max clock. I thought it was fine at first, but when i saw temps increasing, i got worried. It would continue to go until i completely close firefox.

I have to keep around 15 tabs open due to work (a couple for myself), but just scrolling though the tabs brings my cpu full. I am a little worried because this never happened before. Any idea why?

 

I have noticed the same thing from time to time after downloading the last couple of Firefox updates. The only cure seems to be to close Firefox completely and then reopening it.

Firefox just rolled out a new update today...hopefully that will eliminate the issue.

 

There are some reviews that say the matte is better quality than the glossy (although, this was the high def LCD, versus the 1680x1050). I'm sure the matte you got will be good enough. Lots of people actually prefer it to glossy...

What you should be worried about is that there is a new M860TU coming out. To be more precise, the W860CU comes to replace the M860TU, packing new tech and etc... Neverthless, the M860TU is still a quite amazing laptop and will be so for some time still.

 

Hi h0w1er, how was the process of installing a Qx9300 into your sager?

I'm thinking of installing 1 into mine as well.

Thanks

 

open the back panel...
remove the heatsink..
the processor is located at the left side of the laptop after you remove the heatsink...
then the third is using - scredriver to loosen the processor lock...
after that you can swap the processor...

 

answered this here.

 

Ok, thank you.

About the W860CU, it seems there´s always something new on the horizon and I´m tired of waiting. If I wait for that it´ll be even closer to a G300 launch from nVidia and I might be tempted to wait again.
Most people agree the M860TU is a remarkable machine and I´ve decided not to feel bad when something better is launched eventually

 

Finally, the first logical buyer I've seen in a long time.

 

Will try that later on tonight and see if I still get some nice (as in fluid) fps.

Which drivers are you using now? I've switched from Doxx 182.05 drivers (running XP here) to the latest official nVidia one's. I get about the same 3DMark06 result. The nVidia ones do seem to increase the heat tho,
so I might switch back. I was hoping the new Cuda would make a difference.

 

Haha thank you! Lets just see if I can hold myself to that promise a year from now.

 

Hmm, I'd be happy with the W860 as long as the 3.0b format lasts longer than a year, hopefully a few. Something tells me it won't knowing business' mind for money 'n all.

Also it would be great if all the new formats such as the newest Intel chipset, GT300, SATA 3, USB 3.0 all lined up at the same time.

 

Question Sense im planing on grabbing the sager np8662 you think its worth waiting for this or just grab the sager sense its cheap? I'd like to keep sager np8662 for acouple years to game with WOW. So i wanna know your opinion.

 

It'll game WOW pretty much at top (minus max AA mayhap) but as you suggest, I'd wait for a few months. With the W860CU coming out you are bound to find that resellers will sell of excess stock of M860ETU's at a discount. It doesn't always happen so it maybe risky...

 

The Sager NP8662 was just discounted by $100-150 a week ago, and that is probably the last discount you will ever see for it.

It will still be cheaper than the W860CU, so the W860CU will just be a new model with different specifications.

 

Whens W860CU being released? i don't plan to buy the sager np8662 until end of october anyways

 

The release date is still under NDA.

 

Ah then i shall grab the 8662. Thanks for the help.



As for Oiad thanks for the reply also i was actually planing to keep AA at x4 seems a lot of ppl say that there isnt much difference after that.

 

You should wait until you are ready to buy to make the final decision about what to buy...end of October is still a long way off

 

Its true but the 8662 seems like a good buy none the less. As long as i can get max with this system its what i'll get. If the time comes and theres better things to get inside it then i shall get the better specs for it.


Price is very good. 2k which includes express shipping and pst and gst and that's canadian price.

 

I received my Clevo M860TU a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with the purchase! I bought it from Notebookguru.de and received it with a German keyboard, today my Swedish arrived and Id like to change it.

I suppose its easy to do because its hard to find a guide. The closest one I found was this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=155224

Is it that simple? My new keyboard has 5 plastic clips but at the bottom, away from the screen. Gophns advice is over 2 yeras old, is it still the same procedure?

 

For M86 there are 4 clips at the top, near the screen, easy to replace.

 

Ok Ill try, but as I said my new one has 5 clips at the bottom. If I wreck anything I dont know what Ill do..

 

See this:

 

Thanks alot! That part isnt in my user manual.

 

That's only in the Service Manual. I have a download here.

 

this should be included with every m860, thanks!

 

Currently righting on my new keyboard. I have to say it really was easy and exactly as the Service Manual shows. It´s nice to have a QWERTY instad of QWERTZ. Thanks for the help!

 

Just got my m860tu the other day, and i was wondering if it had a firmware/bios for fan control, like my m571ru had?

 

No, it doesn`t have. It does have silent mode which slows down the fan.

 

Agh i can't wait to get this baby! getting close to the day i can buy it.

And with wows new expansion looks like its gonna look beautiful with max with this baby.

 

Well, I think I'm going to sell mine. I would like to have the extra money right now, and I can consider buying a W860CU in Q1 2010.

 

How goes the gaming everyone?

 

Fantastic! Just purchased Company of Heroes+Expansion off the deals on STEAM and am loving it. I know a lot of people are calling the m860tu's "old" and stuff, but damn I'm loving my rig!

 

WOW, you live in waterloo? i live in brampton! i'm usally done there working on the bus shelters. Anyways who says there old! i'm excited to get mine and ppl are saying its old!!!

 

You wont be disappointed. This thing rocks! Get used to some serious eyecandy

 

Great to hear! I'v been very pumped to get the system! I'm getting it to play WoW. With the new expansion and such i wanna make sure i'm ready to go! Preying this baby can play it beautifully.

 

you won't be dissappointed, especially with the setup you have. I have the 9800GTS and it makes things look great for me! I just need to upgrade/add RAM to make it 4GB and i'll be set

 

Glad to hear friend! What games do you play?

 

Right now installed on my computer:
1) Battlefield 2 + Special Forces Expansion
2) COD4
3) BF: Heroes (just for fun, don't really play it anymore)
4) Left4Dead
5) Word in Conflict
6) Company of Heroes + Opposing Fronts expansion
7) Solitaire

All of them play great on my m860tu with graphics med-high. u?

 

What, your M860 only plays Solitaire on Med to High? Mine plays it All Ultra High, 4xAA.

 

I play Extreme Solitaire maxed with 16x SSAA, 32x AF, and vsync.

 

Anyone got screenshots of there laptop playing there game?

 

2fort, Instant respawn makes me D:

 

Looks cool.

 

Hey all, I've just ordered the NP8662 with Windows 7 (Home) pre-installed. I'm pretty excited, but still a tad nervous about HDD temperatures. Do the Intel Chipset and Matrix drivers (mentioned often in this thread) still work in Windows 7? Are there new drivers and other temperature-lowering techniques that I should know about for Windows 7?

 

I'd also like to know the above posters anwser. And also is it worth getting the dead pixel policy?

 

My Np8662 has the Matte screen and its incredible! Being able to get a matte finish on my laptop was the main reason I picked this model.

I have it hooked up to a 42" HTDV via HDMI; extending the desktop to the laptop screen. I run Wow in windowed mode, with V-sync on. I get around 60fps in Wow pretty much everywhere with all graphics on maximum settings; except for shadows, which I have two notches below max. Some zones like Grizzly Hills brings the fps down around 45-50, depending where I am. I usually get like 30fps in Dalaran during peak hours. This computer has no trouble running WoW.

Posting this as I camp for the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

 

Great to hear! I plan to keep v sync off seeing as i like to see high numbers ^^ even if it really doesn;t matter after 60 fps.

Glad to hear it runs wow good. What exactly is ur laptop specs?

 

vsync prevents tearing in the picture.

You do know about google? Look it up
