Clevo P751DM2-G 1060 mystery

[Csupati]

Hi, im wondering what the hell is eating 40W power on the Clevo 3.1 1060 GPU. GPU card power draw 91.1 Chip power draw is 51.1W.

And not im the only one who has this mystery, every 1060 is suffered from this. Say that the memorys using 1-2 W per chip  then its Maximum 12 W  , best scenario that 20W is heating the heatsink for nothing.

The difference of around 30w is lost in the VRM circuitry, especially in mosfets (which are not very efficient).

I talked about a technician , I bring to him my laptops for repaste or any other kind of work, He managed to find out that the 1060 pcb is has the same vrm parts as the 1080, thats why its consuming more power. The VRM is overpowered for the 1060 , and this makes it very tough card , like the old GTX 880M.

My plan is to replace the 1060 to something that capable for the 4K screen, any advise?

Has the same but less of them.

For 4k 60hz gaming you will be looking at a config that will reach thermal limits with this kind of laptop. And also you will need a 330W power supply.

Im not planning playing max settingswith AAA games , just the current games to rum better at 4k. Nothing serius,  WoT,  Genshin,  Insurgency. I did the 4k upgrade for movies ,yt,  and for these games.  It came to me, i was not directly searchd for it. 

Probably gonna go with 9600k or 8700k, and a 2070 .

Then you will be probably good with that config, and probably you will not need to change the psu either.
