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

Get mine Thursday!

 

Try to drop the voltages, thats what helped me on the desktop to pass 5.2Ghz validation.

 

clock throttling happens long before that....

Pascal is heavily temperature dependent from what I seen. imo

 

Tried that, but it kept crashing.

 

fans in 870dm3 are 12v or 5v?

as expected, golden chip sir, near golden?

 

Don't know. yet. Once I get the os straighten out, then i'll let you know.

 

DM3=12v And doesn't fit in DM1 Can't even upgrade the fans

 

what the hell thats brutal

 

Yeah. Clevo screwed everyone of us

 

Nice 51x validations!

Not sure how effective it will be without @Prema BIOS, but this might be useful to get things closer to a stable tweaking starting point for DM3 owners that are less experienced at CPU overcocking.

Mr. Fox's 6700K ThrottleStop Settings Backup.zip

Grab the latest TS from @unclewebb's signature.

Edit: updated link because I forgot two screen shots. 4.3 and 4.5 work fine with stock voltage. There are two screen shots for profiles with 4.5 and 4.3. Stock voltage should work fine at those lower overclocks. If not, try the alternate voltage settings. Test with Cinebench R11.5 and 3DMark 11 physics tests.

 

Maybe we can grab a golden chips of Kaby Lake? http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/in...y-lake-spotted-in-sisoft-sandra-database.html

 

If Intel doesn't force the z270 chipset on the new CPU. Lol

How much you spend for that set-up?

 

£3,900 exc tax, not including accessories

 

Who'd you buy this from?

 

Only 3900 euro? I went to XMG site and tried to configured the same set-up you have and the price exceeded 5000 euro!

 

Pound Sterling, not euro.

 

Oh sorry but this is the site https://www.mysn.de/xmg-ultimate-gaming-notebooks/xmg-u727, am I right?

 

Possibly this http://mysn.co.uk/shop/xmg-u727-gaming-laptop.html
But I get £4,895.00 for a similar config

 

The price I gave is excluding 20% VAT tax, because it was purchased through a business. I purchased through XMG.

 

Guys,
I am playing the new Deus Ex on my DM3. GeForce experience says not to play it maxed out. Is this correct!? How can dual 1080s not play this maxed out in 4K?

 

It may just be a crappily coded game. It's not uncommon to see sloppy work by game devs mess things up to where nothing works well when maxed out. In addition to crappy coding, gimmick bloatware like NVIDIA GameWorks CrapWorks can produce a similarly poor experience with maxed out settings even using crazy powerful hardware. Better to have fun than to be bored with watching a choppy slideshow on fast-forward.

 

After the first cut scene it keeps crashing in 4K. REDICULOUS

1080p ultra crashes and so does 1080p high settings wtf

 

Devs have said not to play maxed out and not above 1080p if possible for problem free play. I think there should be a patch incoming soonish that solves most issues.

 

Man brexit has fubared prices for us. After doing my math it seems IF i sell my p870dm it makes more sense money wise to buy from my not so favorite uk clevo seller. Much to ponder before i decide on any thing

 

Disgraceful of a big studio release. Not a great first experience with my Phoenix 2 Hovercraft

 

Most multi format games are geared towards being optimised for consoles first and formost. Id say rockstar are the exception the time between console release and pc release is actually spent optimising the game. And the few devs who have roots originating from pc game develpoment theres not many of those left either.

 

Yes it sure has. I was going to order from a US Prema reseller but couldn't because of the currency rates

 

Speakers are amazing on the DM3... WOW

 

I see, thanks for the information. I was thinking of going the XMG route but then the sheer savings advantage with PC Specialist swayed my decision. I am assuming you went for their premium-grade 36-month warranty?

@Yaka

Who would this 'least favourite UK Clevo seller' be?


Re: Deus Ex Mankind Divided

The game's performance is biased towards AMD. Also, by the dev team's own admission, the absolute high-end settings with maximum MSAA are something they conceptualised for high end cards down the road/future hardware. With MSAA to the max in that manner, and a poor SLi profile, It's just too much of a drag on system resources.

Nevertheless, to be fair, this game does run on console-equivalent PC hardware at similar performance to the consoles, if not with slightly better visuals and frame rate stability.

 

This game is AMD optimized. Or shall i say not optimized for Nvidia game works.
For once Nvidia is on the same level ground as AMD and it seems that AMD is surprisingly well.

 

It just shows how AMD GPUs would've performed if AMD sunk a ton of money and man-hours on fixing DX11 performance. Nothing else, really. Also the devs said that you'll need quite the rig to run it maxed-out.

 

Its an AMD biased game. Hardly keeping hardwares on the same level.

 

Nice one John!

But don't hold your breath for validation. They stopped verifying scores that are manually uploaded, no matter how long we wait. This one was almost half a year back:

http://valid.x86.fr/nmakkq

Only scores directly done with CPU-Z while being online are validated these days!

http://valid.x86.fr/bnygnh

 

Thanks.

Nice scores your self.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. That's why I was trying to talk to someone that I thought might control that portion.

 

Ordered from HID Evolution:

P870DM3
1080SLI
6700K w/ CLU
4K G-Sync
16GB DDR4/2400 (I have another 16GB from current build to add)
1 TB SSHD (have SSD and Samsung Pro that I will add and reinstall windows onto)
Intel AC8260 (I have the Killer on current build, figure why not try something different)

Sounds like it will be a few weeks until I have it. Looking forward to Prema Bios. As much as I like the P870DM I currently have, when I bought it I didn't know about the bios and have regretted not having it (that and the 4K screen) after listening to all of you rave about it. Fortunately bought used and got a good deal from forum member so hopefully wont get killed on sale. My M18X lasted almost 4.5 years (upgraded 680M SLI) before I felt the need for something new. If I can get 3 years out of this I'll be happy - assuming it can't be upgraded. I'm also fortunate to have a son who will be ready for a hand me down in 3-4 years too.

 

You'll enjoy the bios, definitely (even though I still consider myself quite the novice when it comes to which settings to manipulate, but it's all about experimentation per capita I guess). How much did your total come out to be? I've been playing around with configs on HIDevolution for the P870DM3 with slight variations in components depending on what I think I'll need versus buy later. Did they specify why it'll take so long (back-ordering)?

 

fan noise test by htwingnut

i bought the laptop from them too last week
with 4k

 

$4395 (includes 2nd year of warranty). I also played around with a bunch of different choices trying to figure out how to cannibalize my current system. Ultimately decided it would be easier to sell my current laptop complete (or almost complete) rather than as a barebones w/o CPU, RAM, etc. We'll see, kind of slow out there. Spoke to Donald, and he indicated that things were back-ordered for a couple of weeks. I am hoping to get it by end of September, so he said 'don't wait, get in line'.

 

Question.... how is it that ORIGIN PC can have 120Hz panels with G-SYNC as a Clevo reseller but Xotic, Sager, AVADirect, and others do not?? Does ORIGIN get their screens from somewhere else?? I am in need of upgrading my NP8690 as I cannot upgrade it any further.... Hearing about the screen upgrades and now seeing they are almost non-existent........ Makes me wonder......

 

I ordered mine a few days ago, and Donald@HIDevolution indicated the backup is being caused by a shortage of the 4K g-SYNC displays. I too am hoping for my machine to arrive in mid to late September.

Interesting. Have you tried messaging origin about the listing? I emailed metabox about their clevo "4k 120hz g-sync AUO (coming soon)" listing for panels and they said they may have something one month from then (I received a reply on 19 August 2016). I checked back recently and noticed that option is MIA so maybe they projected too early and backtracked for now. It's always best to message and follow-up where possible. ;-)

 

I have messaged Origin, they confirmed that their panels are both 120Hz and G-SYNC compatible. This was through their live chat option.

 

Great. Were you able to find out the panel model number as well? Maybe the full range of tech specs are available somewhere too.

 

I did not inquire further about the panel model number. I just asked them to verify the specifications on the panel and they took about 10 minutes or so to confirm with me over the chat option.

I also noticed their models only come with a one-year warranty where other resellers come with a two-year warranty standard.

 

Which US based company comes with 2 year standard warranty?

 

all that sell "sager"

 

21" curved 1440p G-Sync display, SLI 1080's, High End Kaby Lake CPU, 5 fans, 8 heatpipes, mechanical keyboard, $5000

I literally just watched a video about that machine. It's quite the monster.
