  1. im glad u had the pads fit perfect.

    what temperature u reach max ?  remember that now is winter time, and lots of 1070, 1080 that were cooled by one heratsing only radiator got killed overtime. with my old 1070 and double heatsink like u i had max temp of 75° even in summer time. card is still working after so many years.

    u can also unvervolt the gpu.

     

    for the 200watt mod if i remember correctly, there is a bios to unlock that power. it should be easy to flash via dos, but u need to find the correct thread.

    @ViktorV Where did you get the copper heatsinks and the blocks from? Are they on TaoBao/AliExpress? Also, how did you get the Evangelion skin on it? It looks so sick!

    this exact heatsink was used by a russian dude... it reported to have high temperature on full load when only with air cooling mode. that's because it's not made of full copper and it has 2 heatpite each gpu side... too few for better performance.

     

    it's on yt..... search for p870 rtx 3080... there are metro exodus test and u can see gpu temperature is really gigh. i talked to that guy on vk and he confirmed heatsink was expensive and he get gihg temperature.

     

    for me best performance/price is the other heatsink viktor showed us in this thread.

    for 100€ my heatsink is not that bad too 🙂

     

    ps: about that 3080 with p870 score that are close or equal 4080-4090.... to get that score, massive overclock has to be done..... if an 3080 mobile score like 4080 mobile..... fair comparison would be compare overclocked cpu, overclocked gpu on both system....

  3. unless ur under air conditioned enviroment in summer i downclock the cpu to 4 4.2ghz max ....

     

    during winter i have 4.6ghz with -80mv.  power limit set to 135 watt.

     

    more then 4.6ghz must be usefull only for benchmarking .... no real need to daily use  a notebook with such high cpu  frequency in normal gaming.

     

    this is all my opinion about longevity of notebook.

  4. hi u have to install the driver from clevo website for your model. in addition after u discover what realket chip it is, u can upgrade the realkek driver part and let the sound blaster  software untouched.

     i did it with my old alienware m17x r4.

  5. update: i had to entirely remove the mainboard to dump bios as in r730 it is located  at the bottom of mainboard.

    r730_original_and_nvme_rebar

     

    ive attached original bios dump.

    originale.bin is the dump from working server.

    bios2.bin is my attempt to insert rebar support and nvme boot  support.

     

    about nvme it already had an nvmexpress ffs, but i inserted the one provided by a dude on a site to make boot option from nvme available.

     

    now  can someone check if all is ok, and maybe remove bios protection so i can flash it without disassembly tyhe mainboard again , or maybe  now that i have original dump , i can flash only bios part without me or other are not needed.

     

    also is there a way to make intel arc a770 supported by bios, because now server doesnt recognize it and make server go full fan speed (very loud ) 😄

     

    also now that i have done this   can i add support for other things to make it more desktop and ofcourse server compatible ? i dunno maybe creative audio suport, rtx  support and so on.

     

    edit: both nvme and rebar doesnt work. im still doing some try.

     

    edit2: nvme is always seen in windows booting from an 2,5 ssd, but i cant boot from it (nvme to pcie adapter)

  6. hi all, i went into loving to experiment new thing and decided to make a dell poweredge r730 server rack as gaming pc, but till now i come out only with problems , even if there are some video on yt showing that this machine is capable of running games just fine.

    first problem was to make ssd nvme in pcie slot bootable. now i can boot using clover usb drive, but injecting nvme  efi into bios  i think is possible as there is some tutorial for other dell server workstation.

    second big problem is vga... i picked un an intel arc a770 and it give me whea uncorrectable error everytime i try to install a driver, chiposet vga no matter it give me that bsod.

    i then find out that bios doesnt even have resizable bar support, but for that too there is a github project...

     

    i would like to get some opinion about that and if all this project can be made .

     

    server just work fine with an old nvidia 9800gt.

     

    my question now is: to make intel vga compatible with this server , do i need to check gop version, biuos support or what can caouse the bsod im getting ?

     

    i know i could have get a desktop pc  straight away, but was liking toi get into server software , config and capabilities to get new know how on the argument.

     

    ps: system has 2x 14 core cpu and 128gb ddr4 2400mhz with dual 750 watt psu.
