Just go my M4400, some info and some questions.

Hello,

I have just got my M4400, it includes a T9600 2.8Ghz and a FX1700M plus the glossy WUXGA RGBLED. I'm really impressed with the screen, although I would have never bought a glossy screen if knowing in advance, I'm really pleased with this one, almost no reflection and clear 100% adobe gamut (or so they said). I have been stress testing it trying to get the throttle back in, but was unable. I put two mprime threads in maximum heat stress testing and rthdribl burning the GPU, and the maximum I got was 89ºC for the CPU and about 54ºC for the GPU. I'm running rmclock and have undervolt the CPU (in my case I can get it down to 1.15V at max speed and 1.0125V at idle). Getting 54ºC for the GPU clearly tempts me to overclock the FX1700M, but I had no success.

I'm running Windows XP x64 with dell quadro drivers, and have tried latest version of rivatuner, ntune and nvidia systems tools: rivatuner not even detect my forceware drivers and ntune and nvidia system tools seems to install fine, but when running them I only get the powermize configuration, nothing about overclocking.

Any idea?

Regards,

 

Your cpu and GPU temps are around the wrong way.

Ntune should give you the correct GPU temps,nvidia system tools is better for overclocking as it has shader adjustment as well but I could never find the GPU temp displayed anywhere in it.

I installed system tools over ntune and it was messed up,you need to uinstall both and then reinstall system tools....if you can't get rid of ntune properly from the add remove programs afterwards,you have to install and uninstall it again [before you reinstall system tools] it seems to get bitter and twisted over having both on there,or it did for me.

Once you have system tools installed only,there should be an option for performance settings which you will need to accept the agreement for and you should be on your way.

89 degC is getting up there already imho.

 

yea 89 is pretty high. the critical temp is 107

hwmonitor gives pretty accurate temps i think
