Try pulling your memory pieces one at a time. It sounds like it could be a bad piece of memory.

Sound advice that a lot of us like to pass along and we really can't emphasize enough the importance of keeping your heatsinks and fans clear of dust and dirt.

 

i do it every 30 days and i can recomend for you to do it as well it takes 10 min when you get use to it
and also if you whant realy good temps i would repaste gpu's and cpu with ICdiamond

 

Is this confirmed with the 9262? I have never heard about this on the 9262, I just had a hunch.

 

Yup, I do it every 30 days also...although mine idles in the 50c range. I actually have a outlook reminder go off every 30 days to clean all my laptops. Also, I annually re-paste all my systems, cpu and gpu(s). I look at it just like changing my oil, or rotating tires on my vehicles....

 

what TIM are you using
im using IC Daimond
when you are doing it so often then you dont need to think about the loong term thermal abilitys and the best for this what i have heard is the white ver of arctic

 

I am useing IC Diamond also, not sure I unbderstand what ya saying, I should NOT do it anually ?

 

You can but with IC Diamond you dont need to realy since its a loong term TIM
i end up doing it every now and then is becouse i am modding the cooling to find the sweet spot of 37 to 39c at idle with 20c ambient
but if you are sett to do the repaste at certen date you can go for the short term TIM like the arctic white one dont remember the name but its white it got lower temps but couldent give it for the same amount of time as the much better and more expecive ICD the info was on a simulated 6 month test ICD was 2c hotter but lasted and was predicted to last same temp up to 2 years while the Arctic also lasted the test but was predicted to last with some degredation maximum 14months i will se if i can find i link i was reading this around october last year on a swedish site .

 

Maby I was miss-understood, I clean my systems every 30 days and re-paste every year.

 

yup i miss understod i was thinking jesus you are puting down some money on the tim
by the way im getting a 990x soon since they are supose to run cooler then the 980x or just cooler then my 980x
got idle 45 to 52c
got 56 to 62c surfing and watching streeming movies
running Battlefiel 3 ca 69 to 75c
this is with ICD and i even lapped the CPU and Heatzink
and im using the Cryo lx laptop cooler
i wish it was a possibility to set your own fan curvs on cpu
that could help as well
im on my way to do a new modd on my cooling when the 990x comes
some it will give higher contact pressure with out a chims

 

can the x7200 support the new 680m video cards? If not, what is the best it can support?

 

the 680m is not out yet so but it should be supported after a bios update from clevo and sager
since it was going to be released with MXM 3.1 but it is back compatible with MXM 3.0

 

DGDXGDG,

Didn't you post somewhere the 680m is scheduled for June, but that may also be delayed?

 

v13 Sager BIOS is probably the last one, since P270WM is coming out.

 

to be honest i think we will get more updates it only a couple of strings of code to ad in the bios to give the support for 680m(gk104 or gk106) and or the 780m(gk100 or gk110) when it comes

 

Hopefully. Hey can you get me a 580M BIOS that is undervolted to .85v? I only have one PSU and they keep on tripping when I SLI them.

 

680m will launch till june, remember comptex? but accident may happen though
x7200 wont have official bios update anymore bcz its already eol......but maybe can still support next, next,,,,,,gen card without bios support

patrck, you havent uv it!? theres uv bios on mvktech, or i mail u one

 

use nibitor and do it your self or i can make you one if you dont know how to use it i can help with most questions about nibitor

 

hi m8 i had sent a email about this to the guy from clevo and asked him but but he dint have that info at the moment but he was going to ask some one and find out for me i will come back to you every one when i know

update on my Oc got ca 30900points on vantage with physx off the other night but couldent login on mu acount to save the score online but i will do some more tests later

 

Yeah, mail me one if you have time. I was trying to play The Witcher 2 EE and its wasn't cooperating, kept shutting down on SLi.

 

Edit - Sorry, misread your thread. Please disregard above. Thanks.

Honestly, I paid a local comp company to do it because if THEY screwed it up, they would pay for it and a new comp if needed

I upgraded from 12, and works great. I run multiple VM's at once for work, and with Vmware Workstation8 I can load most of them directly into memory. Plus I use Disk Cache, Hybrid Disk Cache and RamDisk with 4G dedicated to cache. Works out quite wel.

 

hI got a mail back from Clevo saying that the 680m will be supported in there next platform and not on this one
little depresing news in my eyes but if enugh of us complain and a couple of retailers back us up hope fully we change ther minds how hard would it acctualy be to ad support for a new card in the bios and the ec ?
and make the heatzink to fit since the cards them selfs have a back conpatible connector
they only need to get the fastening down fittings to line up

DGDX when you get your p270wm
would you do me a favor and mezuring your 680m and heatzink just so i could do the same to see if the card would line up in a x7200 if the holes are the same they dont even need to do any modds from the p270 soo then it would just be software modd needed to get it to work
and hope fully we dont need to do a getto modd to the software like modding the DV id to get it to be reconissed and since its a hole new GPU (kepler) and not just updated Fermi arcitecture im not shore it would work

 

no problem, but p270's heatsink copper fin length is slightly shorter, so if put x7200's back cover/heatsink on p270 or p270 to x7200, the fan wont fit the fan vent...

 

any help would be appreciated im having trouble with one of my gtx 460m in sli when i switch card slots now i get a black screen ive tried older drivers and new r300 beta windows keeps disabling my slave card with a code 43 which doesnt make any sense to me because in my bios shows both cards nvidia doesnt show my second card either??? I looked at my bios revisions in gpuz and the one that works is revision a1 and the one that doesnt is revison ff any help would be awesome thanks

 

try with only one card in at a time and we see what happends

 

I'm pretty sure the AMD 7900M series will work on our laptops.

 

how do you know?
the info i got was that no new cards would be supported on this platform

 

who knwo when will release Nvidia GTX 680M???

 

01.06.12??? or later?

thnx toremnt i did and one of my cards went bad im going to buy a 6990m from sager and use my spare 460m as physx only card hope it wrks plus 2 6990= 1 gtx 580 nvidia= fail lol dunno y theirs cards are way expesive kinda stupid

 

werdnaforever look at the 1600mhz samsung 30nm ram sticks lower power consumption i got 12gb for 75 bucks off amazon soo id try there

 

wwoods,

any chance you've built up enough drives or resources to try out a RAID-5 over three/four SSDS?

I was trying to answer a guy here - http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/660394-raid-5-np9270-p270wm-viable.html - but don't have enough data on RAID-5 on the x7200 (as my last RAID-5 was on the Clevo D900C).

 

I dont have that many spare SSD's or I wuld give it a shot. But, TBH, I dont think TRIM is supported yet on RAID, and it would probably be a waster IMHO. I popped in with some answers and my experiances.

 

No, TRIM is not supported in any RAID configuration. My guess is the long awaited RST update will only support TRIM over RAID-0 (and possibly RAID-1), and RAID-5 will be left in the dust.

In any case, as with any SSD RAID, you'd need to leave a system idle for a long period of time and hope each SSD's garbage collection routine kicks in, or periodically create a system image, secure erase all drives, and restore the image. Don't know how easily this works over RAID-5.

 

I am betting youre right re: Raid0 and raid1, raid5 is just a ton more complex. Even if I had the spars SSD's, and if TRIM was supported in RAID5, I doubt I would do it. it just seems like a huge waste.

As for imaging and restoring, I use Macrium reflect for my imag and backup solution. restoring a image to a single HD, raid0, raid1 or 5 is all the same. its simple.

On a side note, I am now in the market for some 1TB 7200 RPM drives for my system, newegg dosnt seem to have any 7200 RPM, all 5400, plus I am a tad concerned about heat if I go to 1TB and of course, will they fit.

 

Keep us posted if you land one, and how well it works out.

 

Will do.....

 

For anyone interested, here's a video of Eurocom installing two 7970Ms in their system (Clevo X7200). Also shows how their cards will look like (Black PCB it seems):

AMD Radeon HD 7970M CrossFireX Installation in EUROCOM Panther 2.0 - YouTube

 

Hey guys any help would be awesome i just got a 6990m to install into my machine and i can boot into the bios and after about 10 seconds my x7200 just shuts down no bsod computer just turns off bios shows the card installed i also reset the heat sync 3 times made sure the thermal pads on the heat sync are fitted over the right chips on the graphic board i kind a baffled because i have a spare nvidia gtx 460m when i put that in slot 1 computer boots up fine? sager keeps telling me its installation error id like som feed back from yall because this forum has been so helpful to me thanks

 

Has anyone looked at this software http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/fancy-cache/ or something similar ?

I am debating giving it a try.

 

Was just talking to some more people about the 7970m and the upcoming 680m they are as well saying that no bios support for the new cards will be done on this system .
if this is going to be it il prob blow a gasket in rage

i was thinking of buying the sli 680m if it was better then 7970m
keep my 485m's and then when i felt i hade enough money over to waste as my girl would call it i would buy the new p270 with out gpus and just order the cooling for the cards put the 485 back in to the np7280 and sell it but now when i se the short life span of support for these extreme laptops are i dont feel like i want to sponsor clevo with my money
im ranting sorry guys but if you feel the same wright some thing
and you retailer here it bad for you guys as well speek up pls

 

From what we're seeing elsewhere the AMD 7970 doesn't look like a BIOS update is req'd.

In regards to the 680m, who knows.

Regardless, no need to get in a huff (translate: angry) until the cards are released and we know what we're dealing with.
