  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Hello, Sorry I am a bit busy with stuff that is not CPR lately. Can you send me your vbios ? I can have a look in the program + with HEX editor to understand what is going on.
  4. So I was experimenting with vbios on tech power up and my boss has some 32gb V100's so I loaded up their bios and I noticed the core clocks as seen by CPR are half while the memory clock is correct On the 16gb P100 core clocks are correct but memclock is represented as 5005Mhz while it's supposed to be 715, 715x7=5005 I won't have my p100 until monday I hope this helps
  5. Longevity and reliability of P775TM1 are second to none for laptops. I doubt that any current laptops do match that because of bad thermals and motherboard design. Besides, buying a new laptop with 32+GB DDR5 would be pretty expensive, so upgrading the old one with 64+GB DDR4 does make sense financially.
  6. mvolt+ Extreme works nice. The highest power limit I could find for a 5080 vBIOS was 450W. I used it to unlock the power limit. Set it to 600W and applied my previous mvolt+ overclock profile and the WireView Pro 2 showed it pegged above 600W throughout the entire Steel Nomad run and instantly beat my previous best score by about 180 3DMarks with no change in core or memory clocks. It was definitely crippled by power limit. Now I will have to play around with higher power limits above 600W, additional voltage, XBAR, Sys and core clocks to see what it can do with no power limits crushing the GPU's gonads. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_steel_nomad_dx12/submissions/6074610 https://www.3dmark.com/compare/sn/15702068/sn/16244399#
  7. Everyone knows that; the point here isn't just about having a new and better PC. Modifying these old machines is a passion. In today's devices, everything is soldered onto the motherboard. It’s like the passion for a classic car sitting in the garage.
  8. Muse - Supermassive Black Hole Because - it randomly came up in my feedtube and I had to try it. the music video is trippin!
  9. Gonna need a bit more than that! What does it look like when it crashes? Crash to desktop? Any errors come up? What system you using? OS? Driver versions? Etc etc
  10. Hello, Do you think it's possible to convert the 15 r3 into an 17r4 chassis? Got a 15 r3 that needs a new keyboard and palmrest but If I can find the parts I was tempted to convert it into an R4.. Let me know!
  11. Hello everyone, I bought a slightly better edition of the game to play it early, however, it won't let me play. It crashes on launch and im at my wit's end here. Do you guys know of any fixes?
  12. Yesterday
  13. I got the fan in and unfortunately it will not fit the m18xr2. If you hear of any more mods let me know and I will do the same.
  14. Yes unfortunately🥹 I would say yes, as i'm using thermal pads with different thickness so everybody can access the plate. Could be if being honest, but the general state of the card was and is good actually, but yeah GPU are not like RAM for examples that lives forever ahah Still on test to understand the issue, will try tomorow
  15. true! but how tho? i would need the mobo at the same time i think
  16. Its showing around 120W max in HWinfo after running around doing various things. Of that I think being in a group running vault farming has been the most taxing so far this season. Of course its probably hitting 55W TDP on the CPU, so in full performance mode GPU utilization should go higher. Sometimes on these 90F+ ambient temp days I also ran it at 5/10 with framerate capped at 60 just simply to keep the palm rest from warming up too much. We dont have AC in the lounge room at work. Smaller and lighter is nice for travel. The Clevo PE60 I still own is a great example of that and probably the reason I have not bothered selling it yet. In most cases it was actually a better WoW machine than the Arrow Lake Hydroc G2 as well, just simply because it gets significantly better memory latency with the 14900HX on die memory controller. I have considered just selling the others and just using the PE60 because it works pretty close to the same level for WoW as I use the Raider A18.
  17. Idling, no. The fan stays off. When it's working, the fan runs as expected.
  18. i too saw posts here talking about that cicichen-cooler heatsink and man.... the money- value ratio is top..... to be honest more money u spent on the notebook less ull get if u sell it. my clevo p870km with rtx 3080 + 32gb ram + i7 9700k is woth less then 1000€... considering i payd 850€for the vga and for a cooler people asked like 400-600€ .... dont waste much money on this old laptops.... newer one are double the performanche with newer cpus... for example one i7 14 series is like 3 or more time powerfull then 9700k.... and consume max 65 watt... also a 5070ti mobile is 30% faster then 3080 mobile.... u can get a 14 gen cpu with 5070ti second hand for 1000 -1200€max...
  19. I found P5000 for ~198USD, the seller has posted GPU-Z and dxdiag screenshots that look very legit and iam considering it, does it run very hot? i would rather have slightly slower but cooler laptop, i will propably buy it, test it and return it if its has a defect or something (Allegro gives you 48hrs to do so)
  20. Glad you got it sorted out! Windows updates can be pretty mysterious sometimes, especially when there’s no clear indication which change actually fixed the problem. At least it’s good to know the issue was software-related and not a hardware fault.
  21. I had some trouble too, with my P5000. I was trying to future-proof it as much as I could, similar to when I bought this machine new, so I wasn't really interested in anything else. I ended up resorting to eBay, which is not known for the sellers' reliability, and sure enough, the first one was DOA / already bricked. I gathered enough data and posted it here to confirm, which the community did, sent it back for an eBay-forced refund, and roasted their feedback. Then I got another one, also from eBay after some recovery time from the frustration, 'cause there still wasn't much else, and that one worked. I'm not a gamer, so I can't comment on that. In addition to still being my daily driver, I occasionally use it for live FHD video production, so that's mostly what my upgrade was for: a hardware video encoder that Ubuntu Studio hasn't dropped support for.
  22. Noooo, thats not good news. was yours a 980M?? Were all "hot" chips cooled ok? the copper plate is flat (obviously) whereas the aluminium 8770W one has recesses to cater for different heights. (i'm looking at full copper but got to wait until my slide table turns up so i can convert my drillpress into a milling machine arrives, so its the 8770W sink until then) i assume the GPU core wasnt contacting the sink as if i recall VRAM is a tiny bit higher off the PCB (i could be wrong, i used the thicker blue heat pads which squish a bit more, although i may change to upsiren paste next) this is the issue i found when creating an "undercooler plate" for the 980M VRAM on the other (under)side of the PCB that sit next to Mobo and dont get cooled enough. was your card a "low mileage" one? might have been slowly dying and the mod pushed it over the edge. However we learn and upgrade. Will share the underplate on here shortly once i get a chance to take a pic this weekend (if it works i'll convert into a printable template).
  23. Acquired a roughed-up Kyocera KYF42 from a junk shop in Tokyo a few months ago (the last thing I really acquired) and it's been a fun device to use from time-to-time, especially for photography alongside my Canon 1200D.
  24. Feels interesting to log back in after a couple of years (life circumstances) only to be acquiring one of these machines from a friend within the next week or so (13950HX with 32gb of ram and a 512gb nvme), but due to a parts machine from his work we were somehow able to cannibalize a 7770 and get the 3080ti from it working.. which surprised me a bit. I know the thermals won't be the greatest thing on earth but at this point, my m15 R7's defective heatsink is reaching its limit and I'm grateful for the offer I got. Just hope this is a reliable machine until I start my new job soon and when I'm back on my feet.
  25. I read about people installing 128GB of ram on this machine using 2x64GB sticks?
