Nice. Mind taking some more pics and posting them? Great stuff...can't wait to receive mine.

 

Sure as soon as I get the laptop all setup i'll post some snaps

Ill try to post some internals later on, if anyone needs any specifics let me know

Very nice mate!

When you can, some shots of the heat sink and under side would be great.

 

I wish Clevo made the heatsinks not unified, I'm 100% sure that's the issue here, Look at the machines MSI GT8x lineup / 870DM3 (Huge vapor chamber unified) / P7 series all have huge temperatures on avg user base, a few like godfafa, meaker, john got it under control maybe good heatsinks with good repaste jobs.

I absolutely love this P775DM3 but the heatsinks mess is huge whatever the reasons are, Clevo needs to improvise now on Heatsink QC and the design.

@marios50 , Congos on the purchase of the best laptop to you and all NBR people who bought this beast , If you don't mind. One thing That I would like to know, If you have ay clue about the HiFi DAC please let us know, you had the MSI 980N 130W GTX laptop, It must have had the ESS Sabre DAC, Would be sweet If we can get some clarity on this matter, How does your audio experience vary with both ESS Sabre equipped machines (Despite MSI had the shielding, Nahimic and all), Thanks.

Edit : HTwingnut too managed but again there goes the heatsink warping another user Q937 heatsink warping issue again..this needs to stop. Basic FS CPU and GPU to 90c is too much imho.

 

Yea these machines are so poor in quality control that like any gaming laptop, especially now with Pascal, a good repaste is mandatory. As soon as I receive my 775 I'm going to be repasting right away after getting some base temps.

 

First casual benchmark with the 512GB SM961

Edit : im using slow 8gb ram, ill try it again once my 3000MHz kit arrives

 

Does anybody know if you can set up a keyboard shortcut to change fan profile or 'mode' on the fly without opening control centre? Would be great to leave it in automatic for general use and just flick to overclocked for gaming.

 

You could set a macro to launch the GPU OC software which has the ON/OFF toggle and that will put in place a fan curve change with the overclock.

 

I thought you were going with the new AW17?

 

Does Fn + F1 not switch between max and normal?

 

Correct. I am also going with the new AW17 (1080). 775 stays at my office, the AW I travel with.

::iunlock::

 

Damn Im not sure if the new fans are in the P750DM2 but these boys are loud at max! Definitely louder than the DM1.

 

max and normal what? If you're asking about Does Fn + F1 turn on max fans, then the answer is no it does not.

However, give Fn + 1 a try to see if that toggles the fan speeds.

 

My DM3-G shipped last night and is scheduled for delivery next Tuesday, which is awesome because then I'll have all day Wednesday to get it set up.

 

Well, that sucks. I was between this and the MSI GT73VR, but the cooling and noise are making me go to the MSI at this point. It's a shame, because I would prefer your services then a generic MSI. (I'm Portuguese).
I was looking for the P775 with a 1070 and not the 1080, so I guess it would be a bit better, but even so, everyone claims these Clevos are really loud, and the GT73VR with gtx1070 had a really great review.
And do you have any news about the 120hz G-sync screen for these model? Any ETA?

PS- Got banned from Zwame, right? I guess I can contact you here then.

 

Does the MSI have a desktop CPU? If not there will be quite a gulf in performance.

Also.... loud is good

 

I know it doesn' have a desktop CPU, but its i7-6820HK managed to sustain 4.0Ghz under 80ºC on furmark, so I guess it'll have enough power for gaming synce i'm not interessested in extreme benchmarking.
Like I said, i would prefer the p775, but I wont accept too much noise and too much heat.

 

In that case I would look more towards the Stealth Pro with 6GB 1060.

I had the 6820HK in an AW 17 R3 and it ran HOT at 4Ghz benchmarking with Prime95 and playing MS Flight Sim X. I saw temps up to 95DegC. I had to undervolt it and drop the clocks down to get it sustainable.

It scared the crap out of me to think that if the chip fails I would need to replace the entire board..... hence why it went back.

 

I ran stock for firestrike and only got 13268? would the oc to 4.5 be responsible for such a difference?

 

Hmm..I wonder if it would only run one thread at 4ghz

 

Clevo website still not allowing downloads from support. Disc given with laptop won't work in my wife's Crapbook so I've got none of the drivers I need like control centre

 

If you can find a website where 6Gb data can be stored, I can upload the disc for you. Clevo probably wont mind if their drivers actually get a working mirror.

 

Mediafire gives 10 GB for free. If you can't put them there, I was able to download all the drivers except for the GPU and Intel/Realtek combo network cards.

 

You can try from here:
https://www.sagernotebook.com/drivers.php?cat=651

 

While there may be minor differences the software should apply to most owners

 

guys I really appreciate the help. As I only need a few the sager ones will be fine! thanks again

 

No problem, enjoy your machine

 

My P775DM3 came in! First impressions: Fan noise at 100% is loud, but not a high pitch. Perfectly reasonable to me. I got the 75hz screen running at 100hz. It appears to run at 120hz however will not allow me to save that in the custom resolution dialog. Odd. I'm typing on it now. The keyboard is alright. I give it a solid B+. I wish it had more travel given how thick this book is. I'm currently copying the drivers from the disk to a flashdrive so I can install control center. If you want shots of certain things, or certain benchmarks run under certain conditions, let me know and I'll try and get them out today if not tomorrow

 

if you've got firestrike could you run a vanilla bench? I got quite low wondering how similar machines do

 

I got same screen I'm happy with it compared to my previous machine. The keyboards took some getting used to but it's a huge heavy monster. Max fans sound like a small jet plane very nice.

 

Have you had a chance to see if the Virtualization settings were found/enabled in BIOS? [ My assumption is that it is in the BIOS. ]

 

Stupid question but I'm fairly certain I know the answer...... When the screen is OC to 100hz, will GSync automatically sync to 100hz rather than 75hz? I'm guessing it's refresh rate based and not spec locked?

 

Anyone who's had their machine a few days found any hepful tweaks or tips to reduce the heat. Saw a few people mention undervolts/overclock fan profile etc I'll take some pictures of inside and out tomorrow

 

Thats the first thing I checked and they were!

 

Hmm. I cant seem to find the fingerprint reader driver anywhere... its not on the disk or sagers website.. anyone happen to have it?
EDIT: Found it on Clevo's site

 

yeah me either finally an appropriately placed fingerprint scanner and I can't get it working haha

 

Linky

 

Do you have the 1070 or 1080? With a 6700k and 1080 both stock I get around 17k in firestrike. Make sure you dont have vsync forced on in the nvidia control panel or you will be capped at 75hz and get a low score.

 

Dont forget to turn off G-Sync (or forced V-Sync at least) for FireStrike if you are using the latest driver because that will lock the FPS to 75 max. If this happens you "only" get around 17000 graphics score instead of 21000.

 

You should try one first, i dont agree with the loudness.
And the CPU is just a voltage thing, very easy to Control. We are talking about a 6700k it is unlocked no point buying one if not for tune it out.
I doubt you will get better performance out of any other unit with such specs.
Theres not even many options out there with desktop CPU

1080 and yeah forgot completely to switch off gsync

 

Dont forget to test it for frame skipping: http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping

Its probably stable but better make sure.

 

Here's my firestrike score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/14717997?

 

Your CPU score is too low, it should be around 12500 with default settings.
What was your temp during the testing?

 

This is a cool graphic for owners of this model.

 

It got up to around 85 but I have a bunch of stuff downloading in the background. I'll run a "True" test once everything's installed

 

What the...just checked the Eurocom site and you have to pay $267 EXTRA if you want the 120 Hz screen instead of the 60 Hz ?!

 

turned off g-sync it improved to 16500 but not 21000? how are you getting that score!

 

Eurocom sticker price has always been absurd, especially in USD. Word on the street is that they do price matching, though.
