*** Official Clevo P870DM2/P870DM3 (Sager NP9873/NP9872) Owner's Lounge! - The Phoenix 2 is here! **

I know about those modules, but when my friend tried those in his Sager NP9870-S, they wouldn't let him boot. And we couldn't find any info anywhere that said that ECC memory is supported. It might also have to do something with being buffered and un-buffered. I might be talking out of my ass though, so feel free to correct me

 

I tried searching for google, but not much was brought up.

They said something about ECC and that RAM can fail three times per year if ran 24/7, but then again, I've never seen anything like that in my computer, maybe that is important for servers to not crash, but even then, I've not seen a server get a RAM error.

Programmers assume that RAM won't have errors in general, I did not know there are RAM failuers that can be repaired XD

 

I've been looking at the options for the P870DM on HIDevolution while waiting for the new release, and has anyone tried out the silicon lottery delidded 6700k? I'm wondering if it's worth it.

@Mr. Fox - why not sell your system on ebay (high fetching price usually) and just get a new one? Less headache since the 1080 / 1070 is officially supported on the DM2/3(-G)

 

no and no, and thats where you're wrong. more L3 cache speeds up a lot of software that would normally need to go to ram due to small L3 cache in typical consumer cpu. and xeon tend to be higher binned than consumer cpu.

 

I would get the normal 6700K from them.. Honestly, you don't need a Silicon Lottery one unless you bench... A normal 6700K usually can hit 4.5GHz which is plenty!

 

Whatever you say. Im sure you had a Xeon 16 Core System with 128GB ECC memory and have compared it to a standard Core i7 for general use. And im sure that you work in an industry that uses Xeon's extensively as well.

 

Thanks man! I'm totally fine with 4.5 GHz.

im sure what u wanted would fit into a laptop just fine, keep dreaming lol maybe in 5-10 yrs we'll see that happening.

 

Silicon lottery has 4.7@$350, 4.8 @$430. Yes, you have to install it and can pay $50 for delid, thereby dropping heat and no warranty in the chip, but if you purchase without a cpu, you save what it costs for a 4.8ghz, about. At that point, I see the benefit for the buck, getting a more efficient chip that overclocks better...

Im sure English is not your primary language. So its ok.
Either ways, one more gets into the Ignore list.

 

dont get angry over the forum just because someone doesn't agree with you . calm yourself son!

 

Agreed on core count. It would be nice to have the ability to run a hex or octo core CPU in the P870DM2/3. My understanding is that intel has made a decision that for skylake and future CPUs anything > 4 cores will only be found in Xeon packages and nowhere else. Note, not saying I know intel's product line up and down, but rather, what I recall being told here or on another forum.

In regards to ECC, well, while it would be nice, I don't have high precision needs, but with sometimes needing simultaneous 5+ VMs the extra cores would help immensely.

Now, if only the bottom of the case could be extended to allow for two of the new Seagate 60TB SSDs.

 

Thanks for the clarification =D

 

My .02 cents (having just bought one in April): Principle - it was supposed to be upgradeable. If not for the foreseeable future, then certainly more than 1 year. That being said, eBay will be an option for me if I decide that I really want to go SLI again.

 

I'm new here, sorry if this is a foolish question but Is the older 870dm definitely a different set up and not upgradeable to 1080 sli?

 

Looks like it.

Single 1080 should be enough for everyone, seeing as the sli support for games is piss poor.

 

Thanks for the speedy response. The last video game I've played was asteroids on atari so I'm way out of touch with games. But I can see why some guys would be extremely upset if they're into benchmarking.

 

There is rumour we could see a mainstream 6 core but I personally think it could be down to AMD zen.

 

Hopefully by tomorrow this time, we will see which company will get my initial budget of $2800. All I want is the "basics", Processor and a single 1080 in a DM3. Everything else I will likely get through my business at a good discount.

 

Fella he's not angry. Your posts simply never make sense to anyone.
Work on that because your on my troll list too.

 

Well, this is the only path we can to go to since we can't put two of these in our p870dm. I'm planning to take the 200W version when it comes out

 

woah tbone relax there

 

if u actually look at how its designed with directing GPU heat towards CPU fan, this machine has no hope of anything more than 4c CPU. at best we get a 6c CPU that'll throttle due to heat heck i think even 4c will overheat like crazy tbh.

 

Making broad statements like that without seeing any real info is brave

 

People have been doing that with every new laptop that has come out. So why should now be any different?

 

This new technology will be better than the not new technology!

... Sorry just killing time.. *looks at watch*.. Not yet....

Also our chat will be up for at least 30 minutes tonight between midnight and 1230am (EST) for no particularly good reason.

 

Wheres the chat?

 

Its that button on the front page that says live help

 

So you can have a nice chat around midnight for no particular reason, maybe it's to talk about what the best midnight snack is?

 

Yeah it'll be about the best snack, also we're at 123 pages and no one has even bought one yet. Nicely done

 

Yes.... no one at all.....

 

Oh, thats just 1 on 1 right? You should make an IRC channel or something. Just for no particular reason. ;p

 

Give me a server and a channel, we'll hop on for 30 minutes or so.

 

@mythlogic Nevermind, I'll PM you that. Sorry folks. {Self Removal}

 

irc.quakenet.org #Clevo
I guess

 

So is there a 15.6" midnight snack?

 

Done and done

 

nVIDIA NDA on Pascal GPU’s for laptops has lifted...no more waiting...check your favorite dealer's website for details.

 

I hope all of this waiting is worth it. Strangely, I feel like a kid before Christmas morning.

 

It will be one of the first ones they put up at -5 GMT....Midnight Eastern Standard time

 

It's 10:30EST time here. I'm in Connecticut, so, I have an hour and a half before I can see it. Hopefully, I can stay up that late. I worked 11 hours today and worked out chest/back...I'm a tired mofo.

 

I am not freakin' sleeping before I order one tonight! It's 6:34 AM / 16th of August here in Dubai., No sleep until I order my taptop with a Pascal monster

 

One last question. Should I stick with a FHD screen if I'm only getting a single 1080 card or upgrade to an UHD screen? If I go with an UHD screen, I know the majority of games I will have to lower the res to 1080p. What do you guys think?

 

I have the UHD, with 980m sli, if you're not picky with everything turned on, you can easily get 30fps on most games at 4k. And if you tweak it some more, you can get some games in the 50s-60s. I would like to think the 1080 would be enough for 4k

 

How does anyone in his right mind buy a 4K screen laptop?

 

Go with FHD, if you want UHD buy an external screen. Your eyes will thank you for it

 

Plus if the rumors or right you are going to want the FHD 120hz / 5ms.
99% of screens out there have been 25ms screens. Yuck! That is the weakest link even in previous DTR monsters.

 

I thought u were passing this time around?

Yeah itll be there 120hz is coming.
