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

?

The 2560x1440 120hz B173QTN01.x panels were reseller/factory options on P870DM, maybe not on initial release tho. Requires the same upgraded eDP cable as the 4K IPS panel

I'd avoid 01.0 and go for newer revisions btw, lots of people reported banding issues on that one.

Eurocom upgrade page:

1440p doesn't sound too bad if I can get it for a reasonable price.

I think I still have the EDP cable I bought.

I noticed the 1440p screen option is for the Non-G version. I might grab it and see if it still works even though I don't have g-sync anyway. The boost back to 120Hz might be great again.

 

Thank you all guys, your answers made me thinks about P870DM-G (980M 8Gb) vs n950kp6 (1060 6Gb)...

 

the P870DM-G has a bit of upgrade potential which is good. I think I might pull the trigger on a 1440p screen and see if that works but it's a bit of a gamble though.

EDIT: 1440p screen order placed *sucks air through teeth*

 

Maybe it will even turn into 870TM (as it was with DM2/3 thread by @tanzmeister )

 

Ok guys, yesterday one of my video card was burned, damn error -43. the video card was 980m, so my question, its good upgrade to msi 1070 or buying one http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080IXEB-8GD#kf

thanks

 

yeah of course the MSI 1070 works, otherwise I'd be selling my laptop already.

my screen has been shipped it's just a matter of waiting for it to arrive. I can live with 1440p.

 

Hey Guys,
I just received my P870DM-G with the GTX 980 but I have a big problem. It says, that theres no Audio device beside the high Definition Audio from the NVidia GPU. There is no Realtek Audio Adapter in the device Manager. So there is no Sound coming from the speakers.
Does anybody know this Problem oder have a tip concerning this Problem for me?

 

which parts you order need for 1440p?

 

1440p screen and 4k edp cable if you can find them.

EDIT: I was on the verge of reselling my 4K EDP cable after the last attempt to buy a 4K screen. Besides, there's probably about 1-2 current gen games that I could do in 4K *cough* Forza *cough* comfortably with the GTX 1070 while all other games are 1440p at best.

So I'll stick with this 1440p screen purchase and hopefully it works...cos it should if Eurocom was offering it.

I ordered a 1.2 rev so not the 1.0 rev.

 

@thegh0sts my sager with GTX 980 can i upgrade 1440p? it will disable G-Sync?
1.2 rev is B173QTN01.2 ?
/how can it pm someone in NBR?

 

Any non standard panel will disable G-sync.

1440p is a great resolution to game at.

 

I already have gsync disabled because of the 1070 not being compatible.

Would this affect the later revisions of v1.0 panels that the P870DMG originally supports for gsync?
E.g. B173QTN01.2, B173ZAN01.1

 

It could be tied to the GPU and mobo since you need all 3 to recognise and talk to each other. So I have a feeling 1440p panels would work but no gsync and I am ok with no gsync.

 

Bought this.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17-3-3D...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It says it's for an alienware but the model number is the same but rev 2 instead of rev 0.

 

Yes it needs all to match, it will still function, just no g-sync.

 

The 1070 seems to be handling 1440p quite well.

As a 60hz 1440p driver it does very well yes

 

Got my P870DM-G yesterday. i hope there will be a bios for an Intel Core i7 7700k. It´s a really good notebook. Good to see this thread and some nice modifications. Mine is equipped with 2 GTX 970M and i think that i will upgrade these 2 cards to 1x GTX 1070.

 

Hey Guys,
does anybody know where I can get the 12 PIN audio cable with the number 6-43-P8700-041 for the p870dm-g?

 

Feel free to spend 1200CAD!

 

I've seen the 1070Ti benchmarks and I did a test of my own modded 1070 and yup it's pretty much on par with the 1070Ti

Best to contact one of the service centers, they will sell you the parts:

Really nice. I need a delidded 6700k for my Notebook...

 

Well there are tools out there to make it easy

 

I haven't been on this forum for a while but I'd though id come on and say what a great laptop this has been. I normally get a new one every 2 years, but this one still has another year in it I think. I got the 980msli and it still able to run all games at max or near max resolution.

Did prema ever end up releasing his bios? Last I saw someone screwed him over and I think he was talking about not releasing it after that.

 

Yes, if you PM and wait with patience he may be able to help you with a file.

 

For sure... But i have two right hands... Im not able to do something like that ...

 

PM Prema (may take a while for a reply, he has a life) he'll get you to download Teamviewer and do the flashing for you.

 

You don't have to be manually dextrous for them.

 

Thats why i will buy one thats already delidded


Edit: I have a big problem... i wanted to use a egpu system. I connect my new HP Accelerator EGPU System but nothing happens. I heared that my Thunderbolt Controller Firmware was to old, so i updated this via premas firmware update. After updating the firmware the system does the same. Nothing happens. Can you help me ? Is the P870DM-G not usable for egpus ?

Good People,
A quick question, what is the best (fastest) M.2 SSD I can put in my Clevo P870DM-G?

 

For now, Samsung 960 PRO

 

Looks like there might be more on the way looking at the PM981 but to be fair you wont notice the difference

 

Thank You !

 

Looks like the PM981 (EVO) stacks up well against the 960 Pro even surpassing it in random I/O-read/writes.

 

In some cases yes and in some no, impressive regardless.

 

Hello,

Another question, is Clevo sending out a patch for the IME vulnerability or is Intel responsible for that?

 

Read. But not from Clevo
IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE!

 

Papusan,

Thanks for you reply, can I use this patch even though I don't have Prema BIOS mod?

 

OK I followed the Security update thread and I answered my own question.
Since I'm a noob in terms of BIOS stuff, how do I go about updating my Clevo P870DM-G ?

 

It gets loaded when windows boots.

Thank you for clarifying this.

 

How do I actually update my Clevo? Is it like a BIOS update whrere I have to put the patch on a
USB stick and boot into the BIOS and do an update?

 

Here I go again answering my own stupid questions (sorry guys), I unzipped the file followed the prompts. TADA done, my system is patched.
Prema you're a GOD among men !!!! Many thanks for your efforts!

 

My 1440p screen is almost here.

 

wow, cant wait... :3

 

My 1440p screen arrived in my mailing box so I'll be collecting it and assemble it on the weekend.

EDIT: collected and I'm pumped to see if this works.

 

WOO! 1440p screen works

EDIT: Ran into a few issues like missing audio and some keys on the keyboard were not working but they were cleared up by reseating the ribbon cables.
