Hi,
I have a problem. My 16l comes with a 6700. I have bought a delided 7700k. I have Just installed but it doesn't boot. The laptop power on and the fans work but the screen remains power off and anything else works...

Do you think it need bios update?

Where can I download it? -

I noticed that HID uses CLLU only between silicon and lid (ICD everywhere else). Looks like there's an advantage to DIY for this.

@Mr. Fox - I'm guessing your fancy electrical taping methods takes care of "runny" CLLU (though honestly I thought CLLU became dry over time).

Conductonaut and Phobya Liquid Metal, and Coollaboratory Liquid Pro start off runny on day one. I will not use those because I think they are too risky. Those running metal TIMs have moved from where I put them and seeing that was enough that I will not use them even though they work extremely well... as good as CLU.Ashtrix, TBoneSan, Papusan and 1 other person like this. -

I've been busy with other things and not a lot of free time for fine tuning the overclock lately, and the firmware on this machine is still a work in progress.

It's more the limit due no extra power sources outside the mmx slot.
Btw 4.8GHz should give around 15500 in Firestrike physics with Windoze X and no SLI. I have slower OEM ram, but still get around 15510 in FS physics with [email protected] and +-15800 with 4.9GHz. -

OK, I have done more testing to validate the success of the bottom cover mod. The improvement in temps were modest, but combined with other important mitigation steps like a CPU delid and using CLU (perhaps placing a shim on the IHS... still pending at this time) when those steps are combined they work together to achieve better results than any single mod could do by itself. Every little bit helps.
I also debunked the possibility that punching holes over the fans might somehow disrupt an intelligent or mystical engineering measure to channel air internally in a deliberate manner to cool other components. I would certainly not give that much credit to any OEM for having such a commitment to engineering excellence, but the thought or concern that they might have deliberately done so and the benefit of doubt warranted exploration.
So, what I did was ran a series of benchmarks with an original, unmodified bottom cover, then ran the same battery of tests with the modded bottom cover. Here are the results.
I can't embed the video large enough for good viewing thanks to our crappy new Xenforo forum software and all of its functional limitations, so please watch it on my YouTube channel full screen. While you're there, click my "thumbs up" button on as many videos as you can and subscribe to my channel. I've got a playlist going for the Tornado F5 videos.
The screen shots saved from my testing are in the spoiler below if you want to see them. Fair warning: I did not try to make them aesthetically pleasing or organized like I normally do. They are merely documentation. It was easier to be lazy and use Snipping Tool than stopping to record results in Excel along the way.

Awesome that our Canadian Brothers can buy this little monster from Best Buy now. I wish USA customers had that option. I never thought I would see the day that Best Buy would offer an acceptable option for high performance notebooks. Certainly beats the snot out of anything else they sell.

Awesome machine! I definitely have F5 envy.
@Mr. Fox - for the inexperienced how steep a learning curve is there to getting the performance numbers you are seeing for the F5? Can a relatively inexperienced (but say handy) user get 95% of the way there without major overhauls? I'm just curious - I know this is an enthusiasts machine so some kind of challenge is expected. I'm also guessing that liquid metal treatment is highly recommended and that is relatively steep for the n00b (like me) to begin with.Donald@Paladin44 likes this. -
