    Plus something to mention, if u look into the board of ur card with wire, it's wroten: Version: 0B like a beta....
    The chinese one is version: 1.0 without wire
    I still receive nothing in hand so i wait for the 100% confirmation x)

    They don't sell MSI machines and their suppliers may not have them so they might have assumed.

    Let us know when it arrives cos I might jump in and try with the P870DM-G. It will most likely have me sell the non SLI version to get it.

    Will need help navigating the taobao site.

    if you dont want to do it yourself, bhiner or any other agency( much cheaper) can do all for you....but bhiner will not accept visa or paypal..only bank transfer or westernunion because its more than 500$. You will just have to create an account and give them the link.. then they will calculate the usd price with their currency..i think u will be near 800$ with them but be sure they will give you a picture once they receive it so its trustfull. i wanted to pay only with paypal or visa.

    i baught my 4k panel with that method with them :)

    we are eager to see if the gpu gets to you and if it works!

    the possibility of doing 1070s with SLI is awesome!

    EDIT: will probably just buy the individual parts like the heatsink, sli cable, power box, and psu and keep them as spare parts.

    I also had a look at the instructions for the 4K screen upgrade and it looks like there's a few more screws i need to undo in order to get to the plastic frame that separates the GPUs from the RAM and battery. it doesn't look like a complete disassembly....just enough to take the frame out to cut it out without damaging the motherboard.

    Do not install this Clevo CC version. It contains XTU services and will mess with fan control. OC options for cpu-ram is meant for newer Clevo models :cool:
    Use latest drivers/software from this link http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-p870dm-drivers-mirror.786094/

    Thank for the replay Guys.

    But lets make this clear, is better to not install Clevo cc at all, or only this v90 version?

    Papusan in that link U give there is cc but v50 yes?

    Becouse beside that no cpu ram oc icon (that U explained too me) I had no problems with fans i think, of course stock parameters.

    Ive tested some games and firestrike on set "AUTO" fans. Fan noice was ok and temps also - max 72 on cpu, max 67 on gpu

    So please explain more detailed, ive got still not much experience with that model of. Clevo

    Of course i want to use xtu in future to oc cpu if ccc wont have that option

    I wouldn't suggest using XTU to overclock, you should use something like ThrottleStop instead.

    you can install the latest version without the built in XTU!

    Edit the OEM.INI file in the Clevo Control Center driver's directory before you install it:

    Change SupportXTUFanTable=1 to SupportXTUFanTable=0

    Just had to add some liquid metal to my slave GPU, it started hitting 95C and thermal throttling at low load, don't think I put enough on, hopefully that's not an indication how long it lasts before it dries. Yay for RTSS OSD, it was instantly obvious from the temp display what was going on with the fps drop and Fn+1 doing nothing to help. 5 min later, fixed. As it is now 3-5C cooler than the master maybe I didn't put enough on there either.

    I'm still waiting on my bits from metabox, 4 weeks and counting.

    Guys is the 3k 120hz screen really amazing? In Poland they only sell with the 1080p 75hz option and would have to wait like 2 months for the screen which is obviously not ideal..

    So.. would the 3k be worth the wait?

    Yes. the smoothness and motion fluidity takes laptop screens to the next level. after you get used to it, it's very hard to go back to slow 60 or 75hz screens again . and don't forget the 5ms response time

    They did tell me they needed to be ordered in. 4 weeks however is a bit more than "should be around 2-3 weeks" and no update isn't helping. I emailed them for one today.

    $80 for the heatsink, $88 for delivery, and $60 for repair.

    They said they replaced the motherboard and gpu. So will see if they did when I get home.

    Anyone know what screws are used to hold down m.2 ssds?

    They usually come screwed in next to the m.2 slot.
    At least they did with my P870DM-g.

    I ask because I had the board replaced a door I could have potentially lost screws is all.

    It's in my building's dispatch so I'll collect it later.
