Flash at stock speeds.

 

I have a custom BIOS from PC Specialist, should I still flash?

If I still need to flash if you could point me in the way of the correct bios and some instructions that would be great!

 

Depends what you hope to gain really.

 

My custom bios, lets me overclock everything and even set XMP profiles I don't think there are any locked options so might just keep their bios installed and if I have any problems then ill most likely have to flash the bios

 

There will be locked options but that's because some of them provide no benefit and are dangerous.

 

So I've installed the RTX 2060 and it is coming up as unknown in the BIOS, I've tried flashing the bios but I cant seem to get rid of the PCS stuff.

I tried following the bios flashing instructions here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/official-coffee-lake-refresh-thread-bios-for-all-clevo-laptops-rtx-cards-now-supported.825558/ but when booting onto the USB the program doesn't auto boot even though I've followed the instructions step by step.

 

That bios entry does not mean anything. It's a basic lookup table to display a value.

 

So basically, this happened. The keyboard cable didn't go in properly (bent pin or gunk inside, tried what I could). The clip broke loose.


Here is the clip.


Any probable solutions as to what I could do or go about?

 

Maybe use kapton tape to keep the cable from coming out?

 

The cable doesn't want to go in past the white mark (basically it doesn't go in fully at all. Weird situation actually. was putting in a new 9900KF and dropped the heatsink screw inside. Thats how the entire mess began...

 

I assume you probably tried to clean out any thing in there that could be obstructing with compressed air or such. Maybe a connector pin is bent, which could be fixed with precision tools possibly. The replacement part is either 85219-2607N (J_BLKB15_1) or 50584-0260N-001 (J_BLKB15_2).

 

That or a bit of plastic is stuck inside, some compressed air might help?

 

Hey, thanks win32asmguy. I didn't have compressed air. Any idea where I can order those connectors?

I guess only god can help me now

 

Eletronics supply houses. If its a part made specifically for Clevo then you may have to find it used from a donor board. Or try to get it repaired via Eurocom. Would be worth the time getting a quote.

 

Compressed air is pretty easy to find.

 

Hey guys,
Has anyone else been experiencing very high temps at idle for Samsung 970 Evo Plus ?
Using it in my laptop right now and it's sitting at 60°C for the NAND and 75-80°C for the controller, it's literally doing nothing. The laptop itself is sitting on a large Targus cooling pad.
I don't have any problems with my other NVMe drives regarding temps (Crucial P1 and Adata SX6000 Pro) and my Clevo chassis is so thick I don't see why that drive in particular can't cool itself.
It will go back to "acceptable" temps at times (50/60° max) but quickly rises back to very hot ones for no apparent reason. I'm not writing anything on it at the moment, just browsing the internet.

I've tried :
- switching m.2 slots
- thermal pad + heatsink
- thermal pad on the entire drive without heatsink
- thermal pad just on the controller, without heatsink

(using Gelid Ultimate 1mm)

Nothing changes.
Did I get a bad drive ?

 

It will do garbage collection after heavy use but I'm guessing it has been idle for a while?

 

Yes, it's pretty much at idle 80% of the time, I'm usually browsing the internet or playing video games that aren't even on that drive which is weird.
Right now it's sitting at 62° NAND / 73° Controller, in a slot nowhere near hot components with a thick thermal pad on the controller itself.

Noticed my PCH was getting extremely hot at idle too (85-90°) and by switching the power plan from Ultimate Performance to Balanced, it dropped 30°C lol. These things are a mystery to me.

 

I can't monitor mine as it's an OEM SM961, got a firmware update available for it?

 

How old is the Windows install on it? Could be it's time for a fresh one

 

I seem to be having a nightmare with my nvidia gtx 1070 mxm3.1 card. I do a lot of rendering and processing of imagery on my system and recently i have been getting CUDA errors in the software. Pointing to the graphics card cores.

I have tried unigene heaven and it seems to be unstable. What other tests can you recommend for testing the cores or to verify that it is in fact the graphics card.

I have a intel i7 8700k, gtx 1070, 32gb ram ddr4, samsung 850 evo 250gb, 1tb sshd. 15.6"

any help greatly appreciated. thanks

edit = I should also mention I have tried
- roll back the versions on my processing software.
- update to latest version of processing software
- try alternative competitor software
- update latest nvidia drivers & rolling back to older nvidia driver
- replaced thermal pads and thermal paste and monitor temperatures using HWINFO making sure it is not over heating (it is not), stays under 80C.
- format harddrive, clean install windows, latest drivers and software versions.
- purchased a new battery - thought was perhaps bad battery lead to not enough power to the card - even though I process the data with power connected (not on battery alone)
- tried to roll back windows update installs to previous version of windows.

 

Try clocking down the GPU (both core and memory) and see if that stabilises it.

 

Hi, I have used MSI Afterburner to under clock it -
GPU Core Clock = - 30mhz
GPU Memory Clock = - 20 mhz

So far it seems to be stable. I am running my same project again and so far so good.
From HWINFO64
GPU Temperatures steady at around 70C, maximum 75.3C.
GPU Hot spot temperatures steady around 71C maximum 86.3C

Few questions: how or why would this be unstable now when it was stable for so long?
2. Do I have to load Afterburner each time to under clock the cores or is there I way I can underclock it permanently?
3. Do you have a comprehensive tutorial / guide on how to go about underclocking it permanently?

On my order receipt for the laptop my graphics card is listed as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 OC 1518MHz .. What should it be?

Thank you for your help.

 

Power circuitry passive could be wonky or the PSU or the chip has degraded due to electron migration and is no longer stable at stock voltage. There are a variety of possible reasons.

 

So it was stable for a lot longer, but when I performed the rendering on the usual highest setting it lasted about 2 hours and then crashed. Temperatures were consistant no higher than 86C

 

That is pretty hot still. You could try downclocking it.

 

Thanks for the reply. Listening to this I replaced the thermal paste again today with brand new stuff - previous paste was put on about 3 months ago and I was certain it shouldn't need replacing again.

It seems to have worked and kept the GPU temps down to about 74C average and max temp recorded was 76.6C

The GPU hotspot temps as read with HWINFO were averaging about 80C and maximum GPU hotspot was 87C.

The processing completed 100% as required. Seems it must just be an overheating issue.Will buy a laptop cooling stand with fans and perhaps get different thermal paste that I don't have to replace every few months.

Any other recommendations to help control it would appreciated. Thanks for your help.

 

Male sure the cooler lifts the back of the machine and is fairly open in the middle so you don't choke the fans.

 

Does anyone know the keyboard connector type on the motherboard? I know it is an FPC tray top connector but I don't know the spacing or pitch of the connectors. Does anyone have this info?

 

Are you totally missing the connector?

 

Hey Meaker, no. The ribbon cable won't go in anymore and the connector clip broke so I am not sure what to do.

 

Check the notebooks service manual. It'll have it there.

 

Take a picture next to a ruler and the connector and you can calculate it.

 

no offense i have a couple p870tm1-g now and all of them even with new thermal and pads and all with gtx 1080 200w and i9 9900k and one with a delided i7 8700k , i am in the high 80s and 90s for warzone games ... but fps is up in 100s

 

It was his GPU hitting those high temps before he repasted (he said it had been 3yrs since) and got them back down to sane levels and crashes went away. Is your 1080 running high 80s and low 90s? If so, that is a problem.

Your 9900k I can see maybe running hot, but your 8700k should be running fairly cool.

That is a serious collection of Clevo DTRs in your sig lol.

 

Stock I would hit 60-70 with liquid metal and thinned thermal pads in games with 1080SLI on the vapor chamber.

 

Regarding the keyboard connector issue I have, I measured the connector to be 4.2cm and the ribbon cable to be approximately 3cm. I am not sure whether the pitch is 1mm or 1.25mm. Silly situation because I am missing my glasses and am also without any sort of stationary at the moment

 

Grab a tape measure or ruler and blow up the picture on your screen.

 

Anyway, a colleague gave me a quick hack and basically the connector itself works so, we sort of squeezed the connector in with a 0.5mm thin plastic bit which acts as the retention clip. The keyboard now works like usual. In case anyone is wondering about the connector ,it is a 26pin, 1mm pitch bottom connector which is the data bus from the keyboard.

 

Nice work

 

Good day. I'm new to this forum. I have a P750tm1-g that I like to Sell. But I don't know what price tag to put no it. Also I don't know if I better Sell it with a gtx 1070 or a RTX 2060. Cpu: i7-9700k. Ram 24 GB at 2400. 1 M2 of 256 GB. 1 sata 2.5" of 250 and 1 HDD of 1 TB. I modded the Bottom to increase air flow and chanced the heatsink for one that can work with water and/or air. Any advice for the price Will be welcome. Thanks.
