*** Official Clevo P870DM/Sager NP9870-G Owner's Lounge - Phoenix has arisen! ***

Just about to remount the CPU, removed the duct tape I put over the socket while disassembled... stubbed my toe on my benchspace cabinet... @!(*$&* tiny screwdriver falls off a high shelf ... right into my LGA socket. One pin bent, one pin broken, no POST.
FUUUUUUUUUU

 

Dang. You can bend that back into place using a small needle / pin. Unless it's broken. Is it ?
Wait I can't even see a pin in there.

EDIT - Just read the post on the previous page. Dang that was on heck of an accident.

 

Yeah, that socket needs to be replaced. Hopefully you can get a local place to do it.

 

is that a full board replacement? I try to not do as many modifications since it could damage it.

 

Finally found a guy who does BGA repairs. He's had it a week gonna ring tomorrow to see what's going on.

PS my account was wrongly banned for spam the other day, it was quickly reinstated but it looks to me like every single post and thread of mine is gone, can anybody else see any of them except when I've been quoted?

 

There are several removed pages of posts so something happened. Only the mods will be able to see them however.

 

Guys if someone from EU want to buy 980 Gsync desktop version on warranty PM me please

 

yes, i thought it might be a bug in the forum software.

 

Hey guys,

Super stupid question but I can't figure it out!

Does anyone know how to stop the laptop from powering USB devices during sleep?

I have a cooler with fans that I need to manually remove every time I put the PC to sleep and it gets frustrating!

I can't seem to find anything on the BIOS ;[

 

if you have the CC then uninstall it.

 

That did not work, cooler still working when computer is sleeping

 

which port is it? i have it on the back USB port and it (my laptop cooler) turns off when i turn off the laptop.

 

Back too, weird...

 

@thegh0sts did You sell Yours 980 desktop yet? There is market for that card or what? nobody with 980m want to upgrade to much better performance?

It's small cost when selling 980m and add some money to 980 desktop, and performance is much better for sure

 

Not many machines can fit it however.

 

Thats true, it will be much better to sell whole unit i think

 

It often can be.

 

But for now I can't offer my laptop in marketplace, maybe someone interested to buy will pm me preffer to sell in EU becouse of no taxes payment

 

Last week I pulled the trigger on one of these bad boys from HIDEvolution, dual 1080's with an i7-7700k and a 1440p g-sync screen. Haven't bought a clevo since my Malibal with a 680m.

 

Wrong thread, here's the proper thread for your model

 

Whoops. Thanks for the clarification.

 

DHL scheduled delivery of my new motherboard tomorrow... finally... I'm over this friggen POS TN chimei panel, failing mSATA drive, and annoying off-or-loud uncontrollable fan profile - gimme back my silent 4K beast!

 

The panel in those guts was fairly easy to swap but yeah it's quite the jump

 

Any tips on getting the stock bios to boot with 2666 gskill ram sticks...?

 

I was running my 2133Mhz Hynix modules @ 2666Mhz just fine with the stock BIOS was for a while on the DM1.

 

I think the issue is trying to boot and (detect spd) with cleared nvram at 2666.

It ran fine at 2666 on prema bios on the old mobo. Ran fine and was stable but I could never change any options or even switch to xmp (i.e. mirroring the stock timings at 2666 in xmp = no boot)

 

That is weird because i booted XMP first and then just changed the multiplier and maybe 1 or 2 timings at the most. And that was on the stock BIOS.

 

Actually grabbed some hynix 2133 locally from a guy who just upgraded a new lappy. Still no boot.

I'm thinking the cpu is damaged... Maybe it was shorted across one of the broken pins when I tried it. Can anyone link to a lga 1151 pinout? I can't seem to find one

 

Did you clear CMOS/NVRAM?

 

Many, many, many, many, many, many times
One stick two stick different slots, the works. Left it on for two hours, no change
No screen backlight
No fans except the rare blip
Cpu heatsink gets warm and it draws ~60W from the wall when on

 

Damn yeah that definitely sounds like a bad socket/shorted pins or motherboard.

 

Maybe use this.

 

no point in kaby lake if they don't OC well.

 

May as well if they work without needing any bios update?

I have no idea what bios is on the replacement motherboard

Think I'll grab a pos g4400 or something just to check it works then flip on fleabay

7700K should clock better than x46 @ 1.24V and I suspect there was always something a bit wrong with the cpu anyway with the weird iccmax/sa based throttle it always had at x45 and beyond

 

@Prema said the BIOS needs an update to the microcode...and I doubt they'll do it.

 

Uh who said they dont OC well ??

http://valid.x86.fr/wdxhbq
Plus 2 more people with 5.4Ghz, and we are running benches easily at 5.2Ghz.

Even done that on the Dm1.

So premamod 1.06.01 has the ucode update for kaby?

 

Intel said so.

Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk

 

Intel thinks its consumers are morons. Are you a moron?

And Intel said DONT OVERCLOCK. Not that they CANT OVERCLOCK.

 

Its super Alpha.

 

i don't have kaby lake.

i wonder if that'll ever get out?

 

Intel are always going to take the line that running stock is best.

 

Well I pulled the trigger on a little something something

It was a price too good to pass up... If one works it may get a twin

 

Finally got 980 200W card.

What temps should I see when pushing it and what with normal usage (stock Clevo vBIOS)?
For example NVidia Pendulum GSync demo goes at full 200W blast on it (don`t know why, it`s not a looker), if I leave it running what temp will GPU reach? Should it settle at some temp value (what value for you guys?) or will climb higher and higher until thermal protection or black screen will kick in (which would point to bad cooling design on Clevo part).
Wanna compare and see if I installed and pasted/padded it correctly.

PS- any way to get Prema vBIOS for this beast now or is it a long gone option?

 

probably should have bought a 980 with prema's vbios and I have one just sitting in a box. or someone might still be using a 980 and can use nvflash to make a back up.

what's this something something?

 

That would be great but don`t know if it`s ok with @Prema

 

Exactly!!

 

I`m still undecided whether to keep 980M SLI or 980 desktop 200W card, have both (or rather three to be precise) cards at hand so made a (very) unprofessional battle between them.



Used games are from different times, studios, engines and genres - what they have in common is that they all have their own inbuild benchmarks. All benchmarks and game inbuild benchmarks were ran three times, what you see in table are average values taken from that runs. All runs were made right one after another without any cool downs to keep temps high and expose eventual throttle. Fans at "overclock" mode, max temps: 980M Master 76C, 980M Slave 85C and 75C for 980. That delta temps between Slave and Master was always bugging me, like P870 was designed around 980 not SLI. 980Ms with undervolted vBIOS and 980 with stock vBIOS so that`s little unfair. Hardware wise and software wise everything was exactly the same except GPUs of course: benched 980Ms, used DDU, removed 980Ms, mounted 980, installed drivers again, benched 980.



So what I`m seeing here is that when SLI works with a given game, then 980M SLI are ~20% faster; with benchmarks it`s ~30% due to much better scaling and utilization. But when there is no SLI profile, 980M SLI are ~30% slower in games and ~40% in benchmarks. Looks like I`m gaining more (with no SLI games) then I`m losing (with SLI games) with 980 but can`t decide. Benchmarks performance is irrelevant for me, used them only for "science" lol.

Thoughts?
