Might need dual 700w supplies for that dream machine

 

Just do it!

can you put anything above the 6700K into the P870DM-G? like the 6800K?

 

I think you need new motherboard.The socket is different.
6700K-FCLGA1151
6800K-FCLGA2011-3

 

Oh well. I'm still waiting for an updated bios from prema

 

7700K with BIOS support. Not worth it over 6700K tho.

 

@Prema removed the P870DM-G page from their site.

 

Lol
Actually it is totally worth it. The P870DM-G cools the 7700k better than the DM3.

 

For moah GHz and benches yes, but for peons like me where price/performance matters it's not compelling (I think it's almost universally accepted the last compelling single generation upgrade was P4-Core2)

Absolute best case selling a virgin 6700K to an idiot paying retail price, and buying a 7700K would be a $100 changeover cost - for approx +300MHz and 1% IPC. Realistically $150 loss... and you'd want to do it very soon before the second hand market is perhaps flooded with people upgrading to Ryzen.

Probably also more expensive for me since I've ruined resale by delidding and shoving metal all over mine

 

Cant argue with that.

 

get a 1070 and ruin it even more LOL

I spoke with woodzstack about other 1070 variants and none so far that they have comes with the SLI connector. they said they had 1070s the same size at the 1060/980M but it don't have the SLI connector. if it did then i'd be all over it like white on rice!

 

If a 1350mhz OC with slight volt bump and sub 80C temps stays stable it may be enough for the time being.

 

even with a +130 OC I rarely see the 1070 go over 70 degrees.

 

I might try slapping one of the 1080's into the DM1 later this month if i get the time.

 

Which 1080 would you try?

 

Clevo. From my DM3.

 

In a DM1? a bit hopeful.

reason being you need to mod the external power and the heatsink so post your results when you can

 

Wish you all the best, I'll follow up closely. I think the manufacturers should do that by themselves to sell their stock from from 980dt 1070 and 1080, buy providing some kits ready for all laptops models can handle those cards, that way they can suck our money more efficient

Guys i need help with my beast ( xmg U726 6700k gtx 980 desktop) :/ some time ago I have noticed random crashes... After my little invastigation I know when temp gpu reach 76-77 celcious games crashes.
Laptop is still underwaranty but I would like to avoid send it back to germany. Someone has an idea what's wrong ?

 

Could be some of the thermal pads not sitting right and something other than the core over heating.

 

All depends if the temp has increased vs. before. Hotter heatsink will effect the heat dissipation for the pads. Most likely the pads as you said. Because 76-77C on core shouldn't effect the results. He have probably lying right under the temp limit. And the pads have been a problem on those models. See @tanzmeister's thread about pads replacement-changes.

 

I have checked cpu temps and under stress test cpu reached 100C isn't it to much ?

 

Yep. It'll be thermal throttling at that point. So don't stress test it anymore... Check what the temp is in a game (e.g. rtss/afterburner or hwinfo).

Definitely sounds like you need to do some cooling system maintenance. Repasted, clean your fans and grilles, make sure the thermal pads are not all dry and shaggy and they're still making good contact

 

Yes I checked that with afterburner and onec 76C is on gpu games crashes.

 

Don't push your machine more, before you have fixed the temp. You kan KILL your hardware.

 

Iam waiting for replay from mysnc now, not gonna touch anything, I have one more year warranty.

 

Hitman (2016) runs really nicely with the 1070 in DX12.

 

It will, but likely would do well in DX11 too.

 

Hi There
I just want to say big thanks to you guys especially to @Krileon
I have my problem solved now, and laptop is running better than before I can say, during gaming ( ultra R6S ) temp on GPU reached 62C so this gave me a lot room for overckloking. Before I couldn't even touch overclocking since new.

 

What was the issue in the end?

 

Had to bend heatsink and apply new thermal paste...

 

Bend the heatsink?

 

"My mitts"

 

Yes

 

I did, the core contact was woeful because it had been bent along the heat pipe. I flattened that out then realised the plane of the actual heatsink was warped too and wasn't contacting the vrm pads up the back properly, when I bent the plate as well it now is all good.

This unit has been through the wars though, whether by my hand or PO or factory or warranty I dunno.

 

Ouch, sounds like it has taken quite the beating.

 

Took a hit in transit to a previous buyer which ruined the original 4K panel and dropped the price. I'll get around to fixing up the small dent and palmrest crack sometime, maybe cover it with a paint job.

I've been thinking some day of painting my car in Daytona Violet - a nice deep velvet purple the old 5 series looks awesome in IMO. But the missus says no ***** way so maybe the laptop will cop it instead

 

The laptop could look pretty cool with a nice paint job

 

Dear Respected Members, as I promised to update you about my problem, I got my new DM1 MB yesterday from Germany @clevo-extreme (CEG-HARDCORECUSTOM), perfect, with new screws, battery and very valuable "unexpected" gift inside the box (I'll not tell what it is, you have to buy from them to know ) .
Finally I have my Sky X9E working again, I'm fixing this laptop for almost 6 months for different issues. All testing are done using the BIOS came with the MB, and everything seems to be fine up to now.
I'll keep update my status if there is any issues appear anytime, who knows what else might be goes wrong!?
Thanks for all kind members tried to help me in this problem, really appreciate.
Regards.

 

Glad to hear you are back up and running

 

Thank you for your kindness.
EDIT: I'm always learning from you new information about many subjects, and really appreciate the knowledge you are sharing, and the support you are providing to all of NBR members.

 

From the Clevo OC thread:

Can you quantify the temp improvements using the sensor readouts from HWInfo, PCH, DIMMs, SSDs?

 

Gummy Bears.

 

I have started modding the machine since the day one I got it, didn't record the default temp at that time before any heat sinks added.
I just did a quick run of RealBench to compare the temperature with the added 2 fans on and off.

Environment temp is 71.4F, no AC and no laptop cooler on.
First run with added fans OFF, max system fans on, rested 5 mins before run:

Second run with added 2 fans ON, max system fans on, rested 5 mins before run; reset min and max values:


Negligible impact on CPU and GPU temp, but there is some good temp improvement on PCH, DIMM, and SSD (underneath the GPU).

 

Nice!

My PCH 60-80C
DIMMs 45-55C (70C memory stress test)
M.2's idle 45C (600p hits 70C when writing a bunch of data)

Add 5-10C if I turn the notebook cooler off

 

My DIMM's are always <54*c and M2.0 Samsung Evo drivers (250 and 500gb) never get more than 42-43*c... Auto profile without cooling pad...

 

I'm not sure how much i'd trust temperature sensor reports from the ram itself.

 

My P870DM has returned from RMA.
Got new motherboard and GPU.

This one has ASIC of 68%, last one had 78% and my first one had 79%.
And this one is much better... it's probably a bit hotter and has higher voltage (1.06v) but hold +130MHz on stock vbios all the time. I can feel better performance in 4K... I mean i see difference...
