Can't wait till I get my hands on one of these bad boys!

Let the torture begin










nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 in SLI










The GPU heatsink now overlaps the CPU so you'd have to repaste the GPU when you want to install the CPU or repaste it:

 

Manuals are up here:

Any spec information? Release dates?

 

Wow 1080 SLI...we need to get new heatsinks aside from the cards. Still exciting

 

F***ing hell! Clevos are going to dominate the enthusiast market aren't they? If this system doesn't throttle and the required tdps are properly managed, I don't care if I have to carry TWO 330W bricks everyday, I am buying one on release day. @Phoenix let me know when u ordering this to Dubai mate, we'll order TWO of this and over clock the hell out of it.

Click on my username, then click FOLLOW bro so you don't miss the updates

I will make a post about this when I order this beast and this will be very soon so stay tuned

 

@Phoenix Are you gonna create a thread for P7XXXDM2/3 too? Lol the 870 is a bit of a hernia-induced beast for me

 

Very soon, let me get at least a pic or a few details. Stay tuned

 

Will it have a Z270 chipset? It would allow people to continue using Skylake until the newer cpus come out.

 

Can't seem to download the user manual...waiting...waiting...

 

Same here.

@Phoenix can you please cache a copy we can download?

Wondering many things, but was waiting to read the manual before asking...

Update: downloaded first try this time

 

Ok when... When when when when

Also watch the for sale section for a rash of laptop sales and good prices haha

 

Me likeeey..
Tempted to pre order as soon as possible, but will hold until some reviews reviews are out.

 

Should we add some specs like in the other thread (P870DM)?

Oh and take a look at the manual. I think people will be pleased with which video cards and how many.

What's concerning is the extra height. 47.2mm vs 45mm. I'm assuming this may have been done for the cooling system meaning us original P870DM owners may be SOL if it doesn't fit.

 

Ahh so the first flagship will have 1070SLI .

Im guessing the single card solutions should work with out P870DM. But only time will tell.

 

Might as well say it the manual is up lol. So it will have 1070 SLI, 1080 single and 1080 SLI.

Also, it just hit me. The extra thickness is probably the bottom panel! I know the P650 has two bottom covers, one for 970m and one for 980m. I'm assuming it will be similar for the P870DM2/3!

 

I couldn't find any 1080 references though.

 

Look carefully, specially D-2 and D-3

 

I just cant help but ask, why not create one 700W power brick instead of just relying on the old 330W brick that two are needed to be dragged everywhere and must connect to two power outlets?

 

330W is more than enough for single card configs even with moderate overclocks.

 

But the manual does say you have to use the dual power adaptor for this laptop and not to attempt to use a single PSU

 

Not only that, there are regulations. I believe there were some issues with making a power brick larger than 330w due to airplanes or some shipping issue?

Don't remember. But a 480W adapter the size of the 330w adapter would be perfect. 100% performance at stock with two powerful 1080s and a 6700K. Overclocked is obviously a different story.

That is for the 1080 SLI configuration.

I lied. Looks like dual 330w for 1080 SLI. Dual 230w for 1070 SLI and single 330w for single 1080.

 

Oh, Clevo leaked it themselves before the embargo lift...nice one

 

Indeed!

The server may have been getting hit with too much traffic. Or, they may have recognized it was getting hits and blocked it.

Not much different than we are already used to. An extra TB 3 port and GPU refresh from what I can tell. Still 6700K for now.

 

Thanks, seems to be working now, I managed to download it eventually

 

So 5th August maybe?

 

Nope, someone at Clevo just doesn't know what he's doing...
The web-guy who puts up the links and the ftp-guy who uploads the files should talk more often...

 

Ok give us a hint here.. Now the GTX1080 and GTX1070 which can SLI, do they need a power connector? My guess is no.. The full GTX1080 will require one I know that much...

 

Is there any vendor that supplies a brick with 500W+ capability? I really hate the idea of needing 2 power outlets and two separate power bricks and a converter, not due to weight, just to multiple components and complexity to a simple task.

 

Not yet... But, you're not the only one that feels that way and I know of a vendor that is working on such a thing. More like 700W... that's all I can say at this time. One very high power output AC adapter is a much better idea than two smaller units and the extra stuff to go along with it.

 

My thoughts exactly, too many items to carry around

 

Need someone to make a converter for desktop psu to be used with clevos lol

 

Thanks for confirming my speculation.

 

Happy days are here.
A single large PSU sounds like a plan.

So... Are do the new GPU's offer backwards compatiblity?

 

I suspect with new heat sinks. Don't know if a system BIOS mod will be needed or not, but possibly a good chance only heat sinks. Just a guess on my part, though.

 

Might need a new back cover. There is a 2.5mm height difference it seems.

 

Ah, yeah... forgot about that part. That's not very much difference at all, only 2.5mm, but the original bottom cover doesn't have much in terms of extra space to play around with. It might fit, but I guess someone would have to test it to find out. It might be they increased the size of the GPU radiators and fans, which would be a very good thing.

 

Yeap, less TDP but thicker heat sinks. But then again, higher clocks might take the long sessions thermals almost where they are right now.

 

I'm not thrilled about the less TDP part and I think that part sucks, (more is always better in my book,) but better temps is always a welcomed improvement. I want to see more with more, not more with less. I hate doing more with less.

 

A 700W passive supply with titanium levels of efficiency. That's going to add around $300-400 to the price of the machine.

 

This is going to be my next upgrade! I can't wait!

Any advice on which re seller I should use? I was looking into Mythlogic's Phobos (P870DM-G) until I saw this post about a refresh.

 

I'm in the market for new PC, kid took possession of my AW18, how does that happen?! Was on Eurocom site saw previous version was going to buy, then stumbled onto this thread. Very interested, now will wait and see. Anyone think either a i7 6900k or 6950k can be put in this?

 

Doing more less with less...

Spoiler: Lower TDP

Doing more with more...

Spoiler: MOOAAAR TDP

Now serving... Chevy Pickup Pancakes

 

From what I've gathered we will need new heatsinks and a new bottom cover. BIOS update most likely as well.

Speculation on my part of course.

 

Mmmmmmm................Pascal.

But it really does look just like a logical refresh. The second TB port is interesting, though.

If a BIOS update is needed, how does this play with PremaBIOS? Will Prema update the 870DM Bios? Having Prema exclusivity with some vendors on the new model like the current model?

 

Cross flashing even on the same chipset is usually a bad idea.

 

Oh yeah, I think i'm now in. This is looking promising!

Edit:
Time to start getting some parts ready on the side.

 

I think you'll be getting the P870DM now

 

Anyone have a rough releasedate for this thing? I was going to buy the new gt83 until i saw this
