Questions regarding my new Clevo P775TM1-G

Yeah, I was not sure about the tRAS. Somehow, from my testing, I saw a latency decrease from running it at 32 instead of 34. Also, I have seen formulas not only like you say tRCD+tRP, but also tRAS=tRCD+4+tWR (32 if you put my values in) and tRAS=tCL+tRCD (31 if you put my values in). I would leave it even at 31 but at 31 it starts to BSOD for me with memory_managment errors. Which seems weird if it automatically defaults to sum of tRCD+tRP then why become unstable?

 

Try it yourself, I am curious about your results.

 

When I get home I will also double check. But I am pretty sure that it was an improvement because I did very rigid RAM OC testing, even buying new sticks just to try to OC and stuff.

 

This was my best result:

 

I got the same ram module than you (ballistix)
how do you modify the ram speed?? , your is 1675mhz....

in my bios with memory ratio at 12 I got only 1600mhz

 

what is your full setting to get your performance including bios etc...

is there some secret bios setting needed apart from the main memory overclock menu?

 

Thanks!!!

Hi!

 

Is your BIOS unlocked? I don't remember anymore, but I think if your max ratio is 12 then higher ratios are available on a unlocked BIOS version. Because on unlocked BIOS there is another seperate menu for RAM adjustments if I remember correctly.

yes I have an unlocked bios
I understood the problem....

you needed to enable #QCKL odd ratio# to get this extra 60-70mhz

here is my result with my p775TM with watercooler:

-9900ks 5.2ghz 4.9ghz cache

-ram 64gb 1660mhz 14-17-17-32 1.4v

-RTX3080m with dynamic boost 165w

thats a greatly cpu score.... do you using the latest nvidia drivers ?

I did use the latest driver before , but I switched to 528.24 driver to get the dynamic boost that give me 15 more watt on the RTX3080.
my config is a waste as I could double the power with my efficient watercooler. I would like to boost the TDP to 200W minimum... waiting for a mod..

I have a Clevo P775TM1-G (8700K/1080) running Windows 10 and Control Center 5.0001.1.88

 

Updated to Windows 11 but "CPU Memory OC" utility is not working. Trying to launch results in the utility startup animation getting stuck forever. I have already tried different Windows compatibility modes without success.

 

Anyone who resolved this?

Guys how do you get 11k+ in CPU??

 

I only get 9.8k max on 9900KF CPU.

 

I have 19.8k in graphics score (3 heatpipes RTX 40XX heatsink). Please help me to get 10.5k in CPU at least, I have -75mV and 3 heatpipes stock CPU heatsink.

Hi!

 

1. No, but an unlocked BIOS is preferred because you unlock a little bit more than stock and you unlock the possibility to choose voltage higher than 1.35V. I personally can recommend the Crucial Ballistix as it is by far the best SO-DIMM's you can get for this laptop unless you can maybe find the extremely rare G.Skill and Corsair 3600-4000MHz ones. I personally tested G.Skill ones aswell (3200MHz, CL16) and they overclocked very very poorly. The Crucials on the other hand are limited in frequency by the P775 motherboard itself and not by the RAM itself. For my unit, completely stable max frequency I can get is 3333MHz. And the Crucials love more voltage so I have run mine at 1.45V for almost a year now without issues. And the voltage is necessary because I have reduced the timings on my Crucials drastically, but here your mileage might vary. My RAM primary timings are 14-17-17-32 from 16-18-18-36 but secondary timings are drastically reduced aswell (keep in mind this is in 3333MHz). For more in-depth timing adjustments of the RAM you can ask me if you choose to go ahead and get these sticks. Just beware that there are two Micron die's available for the ballistix. Personally I would recommend going with 2x16GB sticks of rev. E die sticks. You can tell either by looking at the back of the sticks for serial number or by looking how much ranks the RAM has. The potential disadvantage here is you might get a single rank sticks opposed to dual rank which is technically better for performance and by my testing the rev. E overclocks a tiny bit better than rev. B but that could be silicon lottery. I can help you identify which die revision you will have if you send me some details.

 

2. This is just my opinion, but I am happy with the way I have it:

• Updated to latest Clevo BIOS;
• Unlocked it;
• Updated CPU microcode, RAID modules, Ethernet module, to the latest revisions;
• Updated the Intel Managment Engine to latest revision and also edited it a little to allow Base clock or BCLK overclocking in the BIOS (Can achieve interesting RAM OC results and etc)
• Added support for RTX 30 series GPU's

Some people say that Prema is the best but I have no idea because I have never tried it and I am not sure if someone even has it for this laptop specifically anymore. Any requests for them are apparently deleted or something here so yeah. If you have a hardware flasher and can make a dump of your BIOS I can help you with all these modifications but I have never flashed any of my modified BIOS binaries with software so I have 0 guarantees whatsoever that it will work for you in that case. And I just remembered there is some Dsanke version out there but I have never tried that aswell. I just updated to latest clevo BIOS and proceeded to do the rest as I put it before. I might have done something more that I just can't remember but thats the essentials basically.

 

3. No, I absolutely do not recommend the upgrade. The upgrade from 2080 to 3080 is already kind of dissapointing in itself. Only a slight performance upgrade, less heat and 16GB VRAM. Thats it. So for the 3070 its even worse, no VRAM upgrade, yeah would probably be much less heat but the performance difference is probably very tiny if not the same. I could only kind of recommend if its a 3080. I got my 3080 brand new for 789,43 EUR and the AliExpress heatsink for 247,31 EUR so thats not even a good deal for you. If you really want it try to keep an eye on eBay. Sometimes there are listings for bids which go for way less.

 

4. Well the absolute speediest of the speediest is KC3000 in RAID0 which I have in my setup. I would say go for KC3000 if you want the best of the best. However if you can't get the KC3000 I would just say go for the 970 Evo Plus in RAID0. I tested the Wester Digital SN850 in RAID0 and it had some dissapointing results to the point where there was no real reason to really choose it over the 970 Evo Plus. I havent tested the 980 Pro but the SN850 and the KC3000 is supposed to be better than it so I would guess there is no point of even looking at it. THERE is however a brand new Samsung SSD coming out but I am not sure about its performance on PCI-E 3.0 so can't really comment on it. You would have to make resarch on it yourself but it should be really good its the 990 Pro from Samsung.

 

Enjoy your P775 machine!

Did you edited the bios by yourself?
