hi @Teo So far I have not had any shutdowns now that I reinstalled windows without the clevo control center. Some other users earlier in this thread mentioned that the shutdowns were caused by the fan control app from the control center. That seems to have been the problem in my case, though I am still testing the stability of the laptop. I wonder if using this clevo fan control app will let me control the fans without the shutdowns. It would be nice since this laptop has a bad default fan curve. Also I am wondering is the overclocking feature enabled in your bios and do you have the clevo control center installed? Another user mentioned that the shutdowns stopped by disabling the overclocking feature. My pcie 4 ssd runs warm but overall temps should be safe. Thanks for your reply

Happy New Year!

Hello @crossshot there is a good software that has worked well for me you might find by searching, I think that software link was somewhere in this FORUM but I can’t find it, CLEVO FAN CONTROL • for those who has crashes and problems with the SSD is the PCIE4 slot? It is common to overheat like crazy and random crashes and freezing system occurs, to stop that try to put some good heat sink or put a cooler pad under, it does stops those crashes. The CPU if is the 11900k loves to overheat or if the PCIE4 slot is populated that slot heats up quite a lot. Is an Intel issue not the laptop. Is sad that precisely that CPU is horrible, the 10900k it can better in comparison. Proper cooling on this system it has being the mainly issue for me when crashing. The heatsink seating and fitting is also a big issue so you can find on the forum the right pad size. I hope that helps someone.

Picked up a "like new" one on ebay and tbh it really does look unused. Runs stable and cool (GPU running with overclock stable). my issue at the moment is that the CPU does not want to draw more than 70w (10900k) its hitting maybe 4ghz(Edit:Avg looks like 3.7 under sustained load) and staying cool (high of 58c). bios and ec updated to latest XMG (its an origin machine). ive played around with throttlestop and the cpu just refuses to draw more than 70w. Any guidance fixing this would be appreciated.

Happy New Year everyone.

yeah then will order the NV cooler, is only 20 bucks incl. pads on aliexpress... thats poop bios cant boot from it 😞 n btw. found a bridge cable to use RTX cards in the 6800M, someone tried yet? a 2070 is cheap to get n would be nice to have DLSS, bcs the 880M only has the raw power of a 1050Ti desktop, n thats not really a banger so would be nice to upgrade later. n those mPCIe adapter i already have in the basket at aliexpress, bcs have a wifi 6/AX card here which i will put in.

Happy New Year from Norway to all my good friends🙂 The rockets is already fired up. Money down the drain, LOL

I do think the 5080 is "better" value compared to last gen. Faster, new tech, less than the 4080 at launch (matching the 4080 Super price). With Nvidia having a lock on the market past the 5070ti, I'm surprised they didn't price it at $1199.99 You never used it on your P750 class Clevo laptop back in the day with the 8086k/8700k CPU? But yeah, Throttlestop has been a staple for me in various capacities since the Alienware M15x when pushing my 920xm/940xm chips back in 2010.... I think Kevin (Uncle Webb) still mains it and works on it even to this day. Such a blessing of a piece of software to have. I've lost count how many times it pulled locked down laptops out of the dregs of performance. When I was in MC the last time, I checked their 285hx/5090 Raider they had on display and the BIOS is still available. That really is their main selling point. Asus locks theirs down to a degree and only gives you UV. Dell has some OC controls but nothing like MSI and definitely not like Prema. Yep, laptops can be subject to degrading too with 13th/14th gen chips. Hopefully Acer released an updated BIOS to counter that if needed but the nature of Intel's HX chips from many makers limit top end voltage anyhow by design because they are really packing a desktop part in there now since the 12900HX just neutered down power wise. I'm not sure how well tREFI boosting would work out in a small, hot, confined box like a laptop especially without even decent heatsinks on the modules especially with some laptops clocking in at 6400+ now. Still would make a fun modding project. That connector is platform agnostic in the worse way. Sapphire Nitro+ 9070xt is probably the nicest looking card out of all the 9070xt's on the market and the hidden 12v2x6 rear design is slick but the very nature of the connector will require some cable twists and turns regardless of orientation. You also have the cables passing over the blow through portion of the heatsink fin stack basically blowing hot air on the cables/connector itself. I'm not sure if the active air flow helps or hurts in this scenario. Warm air or no air? Kobayashi Maru The higher end (340w+ rated) 9070xt's can also be subject to 500w+ transients. I do notice, especially in the MSI 5090 one, a serious bend on the cables in picture one meaning a lot of bend and downward pull/pressure. Not that it gives a pass to the piss poor excuse of a connector, but you can't just throw caution to the wind with this thing..... And yet again, advocating for light colored connectors to see scorch marks early on...... Always...ALWAYS give open box / returns a try. You have a full return window in place AND you can score some fantastic deals. I've literally saved tens of thousands picking up open box items for the last 30 years for personal and professional use. Yeah, you get some stinkers but you just return those for a full refund. Remember, I scored my 1.125v Vanguard 5090 for $1971 open box from Microcenter in August saving $600-800 off the original MSRP and now try finding one in the states for a not insane price. Open box 265k for $205 w/ BF6 code included Open box Z890-A Strix for $176 basically brand new That's over $1k in savings right there and that's just the tip of the iceberg of items I picked up open box / return /refurb. 5080 MSRP is ok value vs last gen in the face of same pricing, performance bump (however mild) and new technologies in the face of inflation. You are getting better for the same price. It is not good value compared to the 5070ti which at MSRP is the new "sweet spot" for Nvidia this cycle and only because the 9070xt keeps them honest. Cache is the blessing and the curse.....again. Overall, the 9800X3D is the winner (no shocker there), but if he ran this at 4k (or even 1440p), you would see that cache take a bigger hit and the results would start to flatten out a bit and I suspect in the lows especially the 14900k and 285k would take over. I would have preferred some 4k results and on a 5090 vs 1080p and 4090, but you take what you can get. 🙂 All bets are off as we head into the pricing unknown of 2026 but for the last few months, we've clearly been told about supply/demand and we have: TSMC raising prices TSMC booked up till 2027 and potentially beyond DRAM makers controlling output AI markets gobbling up memory DRAM makers booked up for at least this year Crucial flat out abandoning the consumer sector (I will never buy from them again even if they come back) Nvidia cutting back output on consumer grade GPUs to favor AI allocation I can't see prices going to $5k MSRP for a 5090, but I can definitely see supply on the fall and prices on the rise overall including the 5090. $2499.99 MSRP for an FE is not out of reach..... You simply tell work, "Look buds, I got to hook up this WV2 for my peeps in the Overclocking thread in NBT, so you'll be aight!" I am sure they will think about it for a few seconds and nod their heads in agreement and tell you it's ok and get those results to us ASAP! 😁

There are different coolers for AMD and NVIDIA (Kepler) cards in this system. I think the main difference is accounting for the die height. It would be best to get an NVIDIA GPU heatsink. (Not sure about thermal pads, sorry.) You can use a PCIe (NVMe) SSD with an adapter, if you can get it to physically fit. The BIOS won’t be able to boot from it.

Wireview got delivered today, but im still at my in-laws, will only get back home this sunday. lets see when ill finally get around to actually installing it LOL. work is gonna get crazy in january ugh...

hey peeps, i got a 6800M for only 100 bucks(perfect condition), but want to replace GPU, atm the fire pro 6100m is installed,(so the most worse of those options for the 6800M), have already a GTX 880M 8GB from a Alienware here(was for a imac upgrade but i never did it 😄 ) n 2x 8GB gksill 1866 C10 mem from my old HP 2570p, CPU maybe will upgrade later to a XM one. main questions: - the AMD cooler works with the kepler cards, or better order a kepler cooler for it? - someone has the thermal pad sizes(when use AMD cooler -when possible-) for AMD cooler with kepler card n for kepler + kepler? - anyone use SSDs in the mini PCIe slots? thx

Anyone with one for sale? Hopefully, Rev D with vbios chip installed? I'm trying to upgrade a M6800.

Haha, yeah you don't want to be responsible if something goes wrong 🙂 You could use feature manager though as it is basically a heavily slimmed down and lean version of MSI center and it is therefore much nicer to use than MSI center. https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/comments/1dtkjij/in_case_you_want_to_get_rid_of_msi_center/?utm_source=embedv2&utm_medium=post_embed&embed_host_url=https://notebooktalk.net/index.php

Yep. But you spent a few hundred on repairs, that's not even a car payment for a month. We have two older vehicles now that we are keeping on the road until they die, more than likely from rust. We just purchased a 2017 mazda 5 (jdm goodness coming this spring), and our 2016 F150 FX4 super crew. 205,000km on it and drives and looks new. that has 300,000 left in it for sure before the chassis starts to go I figure. A few hundred a year in maintenance is better than the 1000 dollar a month for a truck payement here. Keep old iron working.

I will probably just deal with the fan noise instead of installing something that might bork his system. Thanks for the information however. If it were my system, I would do it in a heartbeat.

There is still some small hope that people can get 5070Ti at more decent prices. If you are lucky and take your time. You are crazy if you rather go for $1100-1800 USD 5080 cards that in reality should be the new xx70 Ti tier in the 5000 series. $600 is an quite decent price. Or better say the more correct price. Edit. Some people don't grasp it. Why they need to defend a bad purchase/bad product for the money they spent? And as usual... The r/Nvidia modteam remove/close such threads. The old 14th gen Intel is still a monster chips. And Asus want to be one of the first offering price hikes for the New year. Their products is all too cheap. Of course they prefer to be first. Asus announces product price hikes starting January 5 https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/asus-announces-product-price-hikes-starting-from-january-5-and-ai-is-to-blame-ram-and-storage-cost-pressure-cited-as-main-trigger-for-pricing-increases 1000 Limited Edition cards, LOL ASUS ROG MATRIX also has RTX 5090D V2 version with 24GB memory, 807W max power teased Joke or stupid rumors.... I don't know. NVIDIA Pushing RTX 5090 Prices to $5000 in 2026, Rumor Claims Yees, flood China with US tech. This due Trump admin's ease on AI export controls. Feed it's worst enemy with whatever they want than helping their own citizens computer needs, is just disgusting. Sad. TikTok owner ByteDance to reportedly purchase $14 billion worth of Nvidia AI GPUs in 2026 Despite numerous setbacks, ByteDance spent 85 billion yuan on Nvidia chips throughout 2025, marking a significant increase for next year, South China Morning Post reports.

The 12V-2x6 / 12VHPWR petite arson cable is just a ludicrous scam. NVIDIA (and Jensen) need to burn for introducing this stupid POS. I'd love to see NVIDIA financially obliterated by the largest-ever award of damages in a class action lawsuit. A just award would be that everyone that can provide proof of original purchase of a brand new GPU made with this connector gets a full refund of their original invoice amount, non-transferable unconditional lifetime warranty on the GPU connector and PSU and keeps the GPU. The tech space is just overrun with garbage now. Bad enough that almost everything new is trash, but it adds insult to injury when the trash is overpriced by double or triple what a person of average intelligence would be willing to pay for it. Speaking of trash, I found one less excuse for running Windoze. One of the things that has always been an impediment is needing to use Micro$lop Office for work. Linux doesn't have any 100% fully-compatible and truly acceptable substitute. Well, no longer an issue. I even got PowerBI to run on Linux now.

Thank you! As I said, I'm currently having the latest MXM board assembled and will then test it. I hope the DisplayPort channels work with all resolutions and frequencies! Then you can operate the internal display of the P870xx with all resolutions. But an external display is also still implemented. Unfortunately, the other DisplayPort channels could no longer be integrated for geometric reasons, and the maximum number of layers allowed for a PCB with a thickness of 1.2 mm is only 12 layers. No factory in the world can produce more layers. I had the idea for the whole project a few years ago. I thought the updateability of the P870xx and its wonderful features were cool! In my opinion, Clevo has created one of the best laptops with this model series!

Is there a method for unlocking voltage curve in MSI afterburner and is it related to CPU undervolting lockup? I'm currently on 7540 1.40 BIOS and RTX 5000 but all the settings get reverted back to stock after applying Also any downsides to running 7740 110w BIOS instead of 80w 7540 one?

Incredible work!!

Hello. Never and it works in SG with my M6700 using a HP ZBOOK G5 P5200 VBIOS. Also, someone got interested in the M18X R2 with i7 3840qm and no GPU because he'll upgrade to an RTX 3060 MXM

Hi there SuperMG! Are you selling the P5200M 16GB alone by any chance? I remembered it's a Rev D card you got from from triturbo. I'm trying to upgrade a M6800.

Hi @strijrator I never found a 100% solution for the random shutdowns and it was really annoying... We play every year with friends old games like CoD or CS. This year we tried to host the Server on my powerful X170KM-G. Every 15min random shutdown or a full hanging system. If you play with 8 people and the games crashed so often, its embarrassing. I also lost in the last years so much money and time by broken CAD project files caused by random shutdowns. I never had this with my mobile Dell Precision workstations in the past. Hopfully the Lenovo P14s is step into netter times 🙂 The vendor of my system was http://www.clevo-computer.de/ I paid 6000 EUR for it...

That’s insane! I’m shocked by the MSI cable burning up on people, you won’t see me running one now with a shunted 1200w 5090fe though. But, I did run a MSI 1KW BABY PSU with yellow tip cable on my 4090 Gaming OC which had the 666w bios on it. Never had a single issue. I didn’t undervolt that card much, I just blasted it to the max 2,940Mhz daily that it would run in 4K. No issues with the yellow tip MSI 2x6-12v cable while I had it. I have been playing the new Mafia Old Country game lately with my 5090, I was playing for hours, decided to check MSI AB graph after closing the game out. Little did I know it’s chugging along at 900 watts during cut scenes. Little dinky Lian Li 2x6-12v cable is doing the job well though. They are plugged in completely. Power usage goes crazy when I’m not looking though, I don’t really keep an eye on it like that anymore. Definitely shocked to see a 9070xt burn like that, when my 4090 was excellent. These cables are nuts. I don’t understand it.
