sell the components on eBay/the forums, easy fix for j00

 

Well I will still take a lot of loss on them and even after that a barebones is coming down to be about $1k cheaper.

 

! $33

 

Yeah I did the match last night and tops I can sell the Xtra components for about $1500 ( if I'm lucky), which will take a lot more time.
And minus that the barebones is coming to about $500 less.

I was looking for a way to make it worthwhile, but doesn't seem there is a way, without me spending a lot of time and resources to sell the extra things.

 

check your whatsapp d00d

 

Let me know if and how that "extra" N173HHE-G32 and "extra" cable fares... =D

 

Lol will do. I haven't ordered the panel yet.

 

*rubs hands together expectantly*

 

Lol
I did sell my extra 40 pin eDP cable. Now I am left with 2 x 30 pins.

 

Honestly I just want to find that it works and strongly attempt to persuade certain forward-thinking resellers like HIDevolution and Eurocom and Obsidian PC to include them... because we need the best screens.

 

Has anyone tried OCing their RAM to 3400 or above?
I've been using Brother @Mr. Fox 's settings for 3200 which are stable at all clocks so far. I'd like to see if I can get more. Anyone got any suggestions for some timings?

 

I was going to try overclocking the ram more but one thing I noticed about the new Sager Bios is it does not give you a option to increase the voltage on the ram. Very strange the older bios did.

 

care to share those settings?

 

I believe they are the same settings I shared earlier, but he has 8GB sticks. They seem to work better than the 16GB sticks.

 

hmmm....i only saw the ones shown in cpu-z though. do u guys have a screenie for the bios settings? much appreciated

 

I think it was posted in the OC thread. Not at my computer right now, but will post it here later for you once I am.

 

This is what Bro Fox game me.. they were a massive help

I only made 1 tiny change. The tRAS to an even 40.

 

thats what i was looking for, thanks buddy!

 

yes that is accurate

 

Room temp is 28.4c (in KSA)
Fans are much better now, Automatic and overclock are smooth, only difference between is that overclock can go 100% (when gpu at 75c, and/or cpu at 85c) while automatic at 80%.

Apology for stupid question, does screen resolution affect benchmark results? I saw this review about MSI GT83VR Titan SLI http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/msi-titan-sli-gt83vr.
It beaten the DM3 i.e. "ORIGIN SLX 10" in almost category.

 

Yes. However I do believe it's already included in the bench. Like using up scaling

@cj_miranda23 @NuclearLizard
What about this score? http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9788207

I think laptopmag didnt disable gsync or something as it affects benchmarks in some cases. (the MSI doesn't have gsync)

 

Vsync will mess with it. I think you have to disable it with the control panel. They might be using an external panel with Gsync I had that issue with mine.

This is my DM3 with everything at stock (NO G-SYNC / NO OC):

P.S: Prema Mod user (1080/SLI), don't flash that EC posted a page back or your system will start to throttle and there will be no way back.

 

Thats odd, what type of throttle?
CPU didn't throttle nor GPU, I used OCCT and Heaven at the same time.

 

You have 1070s (single?!) which pulls a lot less power than two 1080s.

 

Ah yes 1070 as my main rig, and dual 1080 for a friend im configuring, gotta check it, thnx.
Didnt know the EC measures total power.

Edit: Any idea how to revert in case I upgrade gpu in the future? Thank you kindly.

Edit2: I just ran test on the dual 1080, can you tell me what exactly throttles? I see no issues though CPU not oced yet.

Edit3: Maybe you mean the older versions? Iv seen something like that on this thread before. I used the KBL file if that helps.

 

WTF, maybe that article is some paid ad? 6k difference between your unit and their DM3. Is that a huge margin? The configuration of the reviewer unit are as follows:

overclocked 4.5-GHz Intel Core i7-6700K processor
16GB of RAM
dual 256GB NVMe PCI-e M.2 SSDs with a 1TB, 7,200-rpm hard drive;
a pair of Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs with 8GB of VRAM each;
4K Nvidia G-Sync display.

 

Isn't it obvious that the reviewer might have forgotten to disable g-sync?... This wouldn't happen with the msi since it does not have a g-sync display...

edit here:
G-sync 980 ti: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9066698
W/o g-sync 980 ti: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9066616

 

How can this bios lead to irreversible throttling??
Thank god I did not try it out, however still on my original bios which leads to random restarts at least once a day...

So the culprit is the g-sync. It's sad that this kind of reviews http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/origin-eon-17-slx-10-series is coming from this so called "tech experts". The lack of details on how they benchmark this types of units provides us consumers with false information!

 

Yes im very curious to know aswell, maybe if its bad bios/ec combo, or he/she referred to 1.5, since the KBL update is very recent.
But here I am with sli gpus that do not throttle, more input would be appreciated.

Edit: I can flash the older EC to confirm, but im afraid of brick.

 

That. Just set the CPU to 5Ghz run FireStrike and watch it drop...like times square at new years...it also amplifies the higher you go with the GPU.

If you are not using premamod then how could you loose it by flashing something else?
This was only for mod user as we fixed it for the mod.

 

Oh Im assuming this is common with all non-prema EC, am I correct?
Thanks for the input.

Edit: cooling doesnt allow higher, but at 4.5ghz there is no CPU frequency drop

 

LMAFO - like times square at new years. Yes when I had my Sager P870DM3 with 1080 SLI, it had MAJOR throttling and that's why I sent it back.

 

Yes it started like one generation back when Clevo sent a spy into MSI headquarters and he came back this awesome info of how to implement low level board throttle also in Clevo systems...

EDIT: Before this 'joke' starts a bashing war. You could also insert Asus or Alienware right there as they all used it before Clevo...

 

LMAO thats sad, should have bought from prema partner but oh well, friend doesn't do a thing but game.

Testing the KBL EC might be useful for non Prema users, maybe it was fixed it beforehand. I didnt test with CPU OC on original Sager EC/Bios

Edit: Perhaps one of the representatives could help or support info about the new EC/BIOS, having different fan profile (finally) is promising and can also mean other changes.

 

Sorry pressed it by mistake, forgive me.

 

simple, go to your boot options and disable the network boot stuff

then click on the network boot option and under option 1/2 disable the listed network adapters

 

hahahaha, I love you guys. That made me fall on the floor laughing.

 

A picture sometimes is worth a 1000 words my friend

that smiley says it all

 

Technically the culprit is V-sync as G-sync only works up to the refresh rate, then you choose if you want to free roll or get limited by V-sync.

 

If I enable GSYNC + and set VSYNC ot FAST, it doesn't cap my FPS to the screen's refresh reate anymore but Fast VSYNC is not supported for SLI only single GPU

 

It still affects firestrike effectively by 4000 points here.

 

oh ok, thanks for letting me know

 

Bro try setting UEFI and LEGACY. I was getting this with a boot USB I wanted to Boot in legacy. It still eventually booted in Legacy but only detected as a bootable drive after I made this change.
You can switch back to your personal preference when you're done.

 

Hah, P870dm3 service manual has been fixed. (Palkeo mirror)

 

I have G-sync on and have been up to 180FPS on my 144hz monitor without issue.
