Looks like a great machine! HIDEvolution crew has a solid reputation around here so I am sure you'll continue to have a great experience with them

 

If you can, please provide a snapshot of your system's idle and load temperatures when you get it set up. I want to see how much better these machines are now that HID sells them with de-lidded CPUs and Coollaboratory compound. I had originally bought one of these systems with a vanilla 6600K without that stuff, and it overheated like crazy.

 

For sure man! I won't be able to unbox it for a few more hours due to work, but tracking says it has been delivered so I'm definitely excited!

@Phoenix tagging you to let you know it has arrived! Let me know whenever you have freetime, I will make time to work with your schedule!

UPDATE:

I received my EVOC today! My first thoughts are that this machine is amazing. It was packaged wonderfully, very tight and I was still able to get the laptop out without having to rip apart the box. The P775DM3 is definitely a beautiful creature, the speakers are a lot louder than my old Clevo's speakers. The laptop overall has a very high end look to it. People will definitely be able to tell that this laptop packs a powerful punch just from the sheer intimidation it radiates off.

I got all logged in and downloaded HWMonitor to see how temps were going. My idle temp is just at 40c. Which isn't terribly bad, although my desktop idle's around 33c in this room (5960x with a custom loop). But I would expect a laptop to run a little warmer, so no real concerns there. I did however notice that my overclock is only set to 4.5Ghz on core 1 and the other 3 cores are set to 4.4Ghz... This concerns me because I purchased the Silicone Lottery binned option which should have been pre-overclocked by HID at 4.8 Ghz... I will be in contact with them here shortly. I ran ROG's RealBench and temps got up to 86c before I turned it off... after about 3 minutes of the stress test running . Again, I am going to be getting in touch ASAP with the HID team to try and determine why the clocks were lower than they should have been and why it's overheating at these speeds. Please everyone feel free to input. The prema bios is AMAZING and although I haven't changed any settings in it yet, I am looking forward to working with it.

 

Those are default turbo clocks for 7700k. Try running AIDA stability tests and seeing your temperatures. As long as temperatures are under 90C with overclocked fan profiles, I'd not worry too much about it. I had a P775DM3 with pretty much the same config, and mine would throttle after about two minutes in AIDA stability tests.

Well I can't help you with the 4.8 thing but folks over at HID would be able to help you out for certain. But overclocking it to 4.8 on your own shouldn't be a problem really. And since you have already made contact with @Phoenix to help set up your system, I'm sure he will guide you through the process.

 

Yes, I have no problem and am fully capable of overclocking it myself. However, I want to be sure the chip I paid an extra $262 (over a regular 7700k) to be Silicone Lottery binned, is actually Silicone Lottery binned.

 

Ah I didn't realise you had paid extra for that :O

 

Yeah it is an extra option I purchased. I received my 6950x from Silicone Lottery and that thing runs like a champ at 4.4 Ghz. So I guess my biggest concern here is that they accidentally gave me just a regular 7700k and not a pre-binned one. The ambient temp in my room is actually very chilly on top of that. So I do not think that this CPU, if pre-binned, should be hitting near 90c without even being overclocked. But who knows, I will wait to have the guys at HID take a look at it before I come to any conclusions.

 

Worked with @Zoltan@HIDevolution and he went into my BIOS and got my temps down dramatically! Was at 66c at 100% on the Aida stress test. Phoenix is working his magic as I type this. So far nothing but positive vibes from this HIDevolution team.

 

UPDATE:

@Phoenix just finished working his "magic" on my computer and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. I have never been on a machine that feels this responsive and precise. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase from HIDevolution. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend and I will definitely be using them in the future. @Donald@HIDevolution @Ted@HIDevolution

 

Here is the system currently at 100% cpu load only. Not too bad. I still have a lot more tweaking to do around the BIOS. Because this is a laptop I do not plan on trying to overclock the crap out of it. Just a very mild one with some low temps and I will be extremely happy! The pc idles at 40c.

 

I'm happy to hear they got it straightened out for you. It's tough to trust companies when you pay for services that you can't see.
I'll admit my experience with HID so far hasn't been great. Perhaps they are getting so busy they aren't focusing on the details? They shipped me the wrong laptop, sent mine to someone else, and now I'm waiting on back ordered parts and a new shipping date.
