Mythlogic (Nyx 1711/P170HM)

I'd like to start by saying that Mythlogic has amazing customer support, very communicative and knowledgeable staff, and build amazing computers. They worked with me on a custom order and I'm very, very pleased with the service they've provided (10/10).

The following benchmarks were done using Stock Clevo ATI Drivers and Turbo Boost @ 4.7GHz

Soon, I'll also do it with ENBSeries.

Very nice! Cant wait for my P170hm-3D from malibal to come!

Llynx, are you able to change TDP values on your 2920xm ES? I have a p170hm with the same CPU, and whilst it will let me apply the changes in intel's XTU utility, turbo multipliers go up but TDP remains the same.

 

I assume you're talking about your actual TDP reported and not your max TDP settings in XTU.

I've increased my max TDP settings and haven't seen my TDP ever exceed stock "Turbo Boost Short Power Max" of 68.75W. (My everyday multi is 47x)

At stock Turbo voltage I get stability issues @ 48x and higher. Adding .3v Turbo voltage has helped me go as high as 49x on all 4 cores at short intervals but again, TDP never passed 68.75W even though my max TDP settings are 100W.

 

I've set up my Ati Tray Tools profile to undervolt the GPU from the standard 0.9V ALLLLLLLL the way down to 0.025V for standard web use (including flash videos)

This has improved my battery life from 1:50 to 2:15 with no stability issues whatsoever. Also temps have dropped on web surfing to 38C.

 

Hey llynx,

give us a helping hand here to push the Alienwares a bit:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/613097-bringing-home-bronze-nbr-clevo.html

 

Is it actually sticking?

Those settings might not actually be applied,

0.25V doesn't sound right, 0.025V makes no sense!

 

HWMonitor also reports correctly (but rounds to 0.03). [doing video conversion in the background so cpu is on full load]

 

Max Settings: DNA Enhanced - Very High

Drivers: ATI Catalyst 11.10 P3

Avg FPS: 58 and No Texture Popping

 

I'd love to see some BFBC2 frames / heating if at all possible! Great review. +rep

 

Settings: All Ultra + MSAAx2 + HBAO @ 1080p
Drivers: AMD Catalyst 11.10 preview 3

Average FPS: 33
Min FPS: 22
Max FPS: 60

(Extremely smooth gameplay, it didn't have the 30fps feel like other games normally do)

 

Hey thanks man!! Great benchmarks
