No, he means the checkpoint that saves your location on the stage when you get killed and respawn.

 

I always quicksave. Checkpoints are not enough for me lol

 

So which Mobile Edge Premium Backpack is the best for the x7200? There are several different options:

BEF Premium Backpack (BEFBP3)

Mobile Edge Premium Backpack Black MEBPP1

Mobile Edge Premium Backpack MEBPP2

Mobile Edge Premium Backpack MEBPP3

I'm definitely looking for the best one with padding but I can't seem to see anything that differentiates them price, 10% to a foundation, and duralex fittings.

Awesome!

 

Gonna Agreed on Babyhemi's rep
will check out your video when i get hoem love unboxing videos

 

Just color best I can tell....functionally they should be identical

 

I have the slappa mask... And honestly, I have had it for months, and I haven't tried putting anything in it yet lol

 

SO, when we going to see some GTX 470m SLI numbers?!

 

My NP7280 will come at end of January, I'm already ordered.

I "should" have my unit by tomorrow evening. UPS tracking stopped tracking 3 days ago but it still says "on time" for the 24th so we will see how that goes. When I DO get it though, I want to feel it out for a day or two to make sure everything is in working order. I also have to optimize and tweak it to my personal liking.

BTW, I am more or less still learning all of this so you might have to bear with me if and probably when I make some mistakes. I plan on using XTU for CPU OCing and MSI Afterburner for the GPU's. Also, I don't think there are any 470m profiles for 3D Mark 11, is there?

No SSD bro?

 

i am in the process of sale my 460's and get 470's but this is working slow because i don't have much money left after Christmas gifts

And the 580's are close too

 

Cool! everybody is waiting for numbers from the 470's i don't recommend mess with XTU i have done and my overclock was stable but after you shutdown the machine and restart it will never make to the bios screen and just keep restarting like crazy i have to remove the CMOS battery to fix that lol

 

Dang, is intel working on a patch for that?

 

I prefer to choose 500GB Hybrid than SSD because the capacity size of SSD is too small (128GB). Actually I watched video from Seagate that compared Hybrid, SSD, and 10,000 RPM. SSD is the best at first place, and Hybrid at 2nd place better than 10,000 RPM. I thinks Hybrid is enough for me. And i choose RAID 0 for my 3 X 500GB hybrid.

 

I wonder what kind of benchmarks that would get...

 

I had issues with the XTU as well. What other options are available for OC's the CPU on the NP7280?

 

I assume that MSI Afterburner works well for the Clevo cards in our laptop?

 

I have no idea one of the resellers may know better

you can try throttlestop and play with TDP-TDC values it worked for me before

 

did anyone get SetFSB working on these laptops? That combined with ThrottleStop can give you alot of overclocking flexibility.

 

I casually did a unigine test and got 622 on stock.

 

I thought it was odd that my NP7280 shipped with the battery in it. First time I ever saw that.

 

Never heard of any problems with it.

 

This shipping with the battery in is quite normal for this and other models of Sager / Clevo...

guys im going to run some benchies in my laptop, beside fraps and uniengine what tests are recommended? i already have gpu and cpu z. also some software for OCing?

 

The Chinese seller of x7200 is SUCH a rip off lol..
It's called terran force. They force you to buy three 512G SSD with it lol
And the price is 100000 RMB. Google tells us it's 15000 USD.

 

MSI Afterburner for OCing GPU's

For Benchmarks:

3DMark 06
3DMark vantage
3dMark 11
Crysis
Mafia 2
GTA-4
Just Cause 2

with those you pretty much know what is your system capable of

 

Run Lost Planet 3.

 

you mean lost planet 2?

 

What was the program used to check the stability of the oc?

 

Yes, yes I meant #2

 

@physib
For the CPU or GPU?

CPU, you can use Prime95 or LinX.
GPU, the Programs that Speedy Gonzalez says:

3DMark 06
3DMark vantage
3dMark 11
Crysis
..
..
..

 

You can also use the OCCT GPU tests to stress gpus. As well as furmark.

 

I was talking about the program to check stability, not benchmarks.

 

See my above post

 

I will probably buy this laptop in a few days.

Intel Core i7-950
6 GB RAM @ 1066 MHz
3 GB NVidia GTX 460M SLi
500 GB Hybrid HDD @ 7200 RPM
500 GB HDD @ 7200 RPM

However, I need to know if the only thing that needs to be updated out of the box are the graphics drivers. (259.XX?) All you need to do is go to LV2G's site, download the 265.66 ones from the forum, right? I recall someone saying you need to reinstall the audio drivers for some reason. Do you just get these form Sager's support page?

The reason I'm saying this is b/c I'm paying over 2.5K for a laptop and I don't want to risk bricking my system after updating something like the BIOS and have to go through part replacement, etc...

Also, I have no experience with NVidia GPUs and their updating process along with updating Sager/Clevo BIOS.

 

Yeah I did see it.. How long of stability do I need to declare the oc stable? Five minutes?

 

i just wanted to say...........i love my x7200. stock. .

 

Longer the better. The OCCT GPU test runs for an hour default and reports if any errors are experienced (since you can have errors without a freeze or bsod)

But even then, you can be OCCT stable and still crash in games. That happened to me before. I overclock for benches and stock for games. I buy hardware such that I do not have to overclock to play the games I want to play. For benches, use what ever the bench you are running as your stability test, you only have to make it through that

 

Yeah.. Currently there is not a game that this thing can't handle yet

 

While overclocking is "free" performance and fun and all that, if you HAVE to overclock to play a game, you are not going to be happy.

 

I have been fooling around with this thing for about 3 hours now. It is redonkulous! I'm still tweakin it as I speak. No real complaints so far.

 

Let us know how it goes, you have the star configuration that we all want haha

 

I OC 980X see my signature
160*25
uncore 3200
xmp 1600C9
can pass some benchmark

but add vcore 1.4+V when trying turbo boost to 4.4G
cant see BIOS bcz it suddenly shotdown after power up few second....cycling.....then I remove cr2032 clear CMOS
though my 980x batch 3031A242

 

So do you buy factory overclocked cards to be happy?

 

Don't you want to try 3D gaming with external monitor like ACER GD245HQ ??

 

I use my Sony 40 inch for that I will also buy Vantage today as well. There are no 470m Sli profiles on 3D Mark 11 yet so I will hold off for now. Currently it is all stock and has been rock stable with not one BSOD or crash.

 

To date there is not HDTV that supports 120hz input other than DLP-HDTV , NVIDIA release the crappy software call NVIDIA 3D PLAY is supposed to work with 3D ready tv's but is garbage i try it with my samsung led 3d and all i can say is ughh.

Glad to see the 470's are working fine i may get couple of those after i see at least a vantage run

 

Didn't clevo say x7200 does not support 3D until 485M?

 

Where did they say that? And doesn't it only matter that the GPU supports it with the correct drivers and not the computer in general?
