This is what i got this i why i was geting all in a mood about

 

Ask the guy about Eurocom's update from this post - http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...ger-np7280-owners-lounge-600.html#post8490047

 

i have seen the vid it looks as they are using the same heat zink
but i saw a couple of pics of the 680m es and it dont look like its the same screw config as the 485m's not 100% about the 580m
i know that the cooling betven 480m and 485m is difrent 485 is a rectangel formed gpu wile 480m is a square gpu and if the pic is real so is the 680m

 

dont worry, since eurocom is working on x7200 7970m cf, after 680m officially released, they will continue make 680m sli work on x7200.......
why? a long time delay of p270wm now, and no sign of p370, the clevo top sli machine still x7200

 

that sound like some good news
the p370 i dont think that will be coming untill intel releases the ivy bridge X class CPU like it looks now ivy only have a quad k marked out no hex core with X class since no body knows if IB X is going to be same as SB X come with a new socket or not so its understadeble that they are waiting

There was a roumor that the p270 would be totally released from the shoke hold clevo normaly have and let you oc like it would be on a desktop doing it with in the UEFI bios you know bclk multiple and the lot hope fully its tru !!

 

who know a BEST IPS Screen for Clevo X7200?

 

Is an extra PSU needed if I install the 7970m crossfire?

 

i would think so specialy if you are using a 980x or 990x cpu or if you are thinking about Oc ing
in any case i would recomend to get a extra psu and the converter box

 

Ask babyhemi he has a good view whats is the best for this modell

 

Ok is the 7970 m really compatible with the x7200?i called a retailer to inquire my unit and they said my unit is a bit old for that new card upgrade. They said it would fit but not sure if it is compatible

 

talk to eurocom saw a vid where they put them in a x7200
here is the link to the post

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...ger-np7280-owners-lounge-600.html#post8490047

 

Man I wish it is compatible. I want to upgrade my cards. If x7200 is not upgradable, then I just feel bad I have to buy a new laptop again for new cards.

 

me to m8 hope that both 7970m and the upcoming 680m is !!

 

My CPU is I-950 so do i still need the extra PSU when I install (hopefully) the 7970m CF or the 6990m CF.

 

I would recomend it
when i travell i only bring one but i also turn off my oc and also undervolt a bit just to be shore then i dont have any probs but when running my oc at home i have to have 2 psu's othervise it click off all the time
and trust me with this card you are going to want to oc and do some benches

So, I was pulling out my hard drive caddy that I have replaced my dvd with, and snapped off the faceplate. I am looking to buy a replacement, will this do it ?

Amazon.com: Protronix® SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive Caddy for 12.7mm Universal CD / DVD-ROM Optical Bay: Computers & Accessories

 

You didn't sell your x7200, did you?

 

Good news. Got an email from Eurocom that they can upgrade the x7200 for 7970m cf however they offer upgrades at end of May.

 

Great news, indeed!

 

and now its only the 680m left to see and if that dont work i have to go with CF 7970m and that should give ca 12k+ in 3dmark11 performance setting
and 42k+ in vantage performance if the benches on the singel cards i have seen is right

 

might be a easy answer but i rather be safe then sorry and waste some sellers time i want to buy a bluray player for x7200 is there a right one or is this like a universal part

i dont know if you tried this already but most have that little hole if you put a bobby pin the disc drive will pop open or troubleshoot if your using windows 7 or remove the drive and put it back in just some choices i would have tried but im no pro as you can see by my question

 

i asked to him

 

he answered ?

 

I have a problem.
I do like to get sweat stains from the metal where it supports hands.

 

Exercise a lot under hot weather, then put your wrists on the support for ten minutes. Repeat ten to twenty times.

 

With the release of the AMD Radeon HD 7970M GPUs, anyone upgrade their x7200 yet?

 

Thinking about it but to be honest i just don't see the point i have no issue playing any games that i currently have and even though i got the money it is just hard for me to justify to purchase. Is this card even supported on our laptops without a bios update?

 

acording to eurocom no update needed
on a nother not user upgradeyourlaptop
on ebay sells kitts with the 7970m heatzink thermalpaste and thermalpads for the x7200/np7280
its eurocoms ebay shop so its legit
quite a good price

 

Anyone know if the 6xx cards work in the x7200? Looked through a few pages by there's a lot of thread here.

 

nothing official yet

 

link please?

 

here is a link to upgradeyourlaptop

For the last month or so i have been having this issue with my processor multiplier bouncing all over the place. Even when i have the laptop set to high performance my processor is throttling like crazy. I don't know if it was an update from windows or what but i have never had this particular problem before. I did notice some new options in the advanced power management options but i have everything set to max. Yet i cant get the processor to just sit at the base 26X multiplier, even when i turn turbo boost off it continues to drop to as low as a 12x multiplier. Any suggestions?

am I correct in Assuming the x7200 has Sata 3 slots ? using the Intel utility it's reporting all my sata devices running at SATA 2...sooo what am I Missing here?

 

sata 2 is what you have in the x7200

 

The Intel X58 chipset does not support SATA III speeds

 

well

Thanks for the fast reply's guys, Love your work

 

Hello guys
any news upon compatibility of 7970M on our X7200s ?
I saw a video over Eurocome that they installed 7970M in X7200....
I emailed them about 2-3 days ago but i didnt get any answer.
My local Reseller (In Australia) says they asked eurocome and they said its compatible and they offer upgrading 7970M CrossFire for x7200 !
i am still w8ting for the price but further more they have no information upon the BIOS and so on .....
Is that safe to purchase these cards !?!

 

Sager NP7282 freezes at BIOS password prompt
It doesn't do it all the time. It only happens after the computer has been shut off for some time. If I power it off and turn it back on sometimes it will work and sometimes freezes at password again. No problem if I go into BIOS to disable BIOS password. Other than that BIOS works fine.

Anyone else have this issue?

 

It was reported by Eurocom it works just fine. I *thought* that someone from Sager also posted it should work.

HOWEVER, I don't think anyone's sat down and tried it other than some preliminary testing. If anyone has information to the contrary, please post it. Otherwise, Triangels, you may need to be that brave soul who gives it a try.

 

thanks !
well i just got this email few seconds ago from Eurocom

Few days ago I emailed to Sager and what they answered me was that they only offer for HM series ( the one caused by petition) and in that email sager did not mention any word about x7200s. i tot thay might be because they want to advertise for the upcoming succesor or x7200s.
---------
My local reseller says they were in contact few days ago with other resellers ( i guess Eurocome ) and they have been told 7970M is fully supported on X7200s machines and it was tested before .... they only need to flash the BIOS to latest BIOS ....
but due to limited supply of this GPU they have no further information that it works properly generally or not ! " i guess it should if its supported"
im still w8ting for the price !
If i have any more information i I'll post it here ...
cuz i imagine there are many 6970M CF users like me that want to upgrade to 7970M CF

 

Definitely keep us posted on your pioneering exploits.

 

I just got another mail from eurcome ... according to them 7970M 2xGPU plus screws , Heatsinks , Xfire cable is 1120 USD (inc shipping to Australia )
well now i just w8 to c what price my local reseller will offer ? they might have some more information about it .
