**M980NU (X1/Commanche SLI/NP9850) Owners Thread**

just locks using a live change

 

I forget, did you get an ES chip or OEM? Could be the chip perhaps? Just throwing things out.

 

nah had the chip solid at 3.2ghz all day on the m17

 

The beta BIOS allow me to run ram@ 1466, but FSB 1200 already no boot.

 

Can you change your multiplier?

 

can you send me the bios

 

No multi option.

It's pre-installed in the machine.

 

thats a bummer on 2 counts

 

So you can do 1333 but not 1200? That's strange.

 

also how did you get 1333 @ CL7?

Edit: Your not even talking about the system in your sig are you. oops.

 

You can normally backup a bios. Did they some how lock it?

 

No, i mean from 1200 already no boot, so 1333 also no boot. But the ram and FSB is unlocked so i can run ram @1466 while FSB still 1066.

If you do the mod on M86 then ram will auto run@ 1333 CL7, or just change timings via Thaipnoon burner.

 

well i screwed something up somewhere,

vista is locking after 30 seconds, regardless, not a hardware failure still runs in safe mode screwed up a driver some where me thinks

 

Yeah I think you told me about Thaiphoon burner before. That was the 32-bit only program right?

 

Make sure your NST profile isn't loading on startup.

Edit: Under Performance > View system information make sure your clocks are at default after you reboot.

 

first thing i checked, bar removing all drivers and trying to figure out what caused it will take longer then to re-install

so im going to do that, i wanted to partition my drive anyway

 

First Off - Congrats!!!!! PNB said they haven't gotten theirs yet (Sager hasn't released them yet).

How's the noise level using the laptop normally?
like - Fans audiable but not bothersome or louder than that and somewhat bothersome or downright noisy.

Just curious.
Are you using an external bluetooth mouse or touchpad or usb mouse?

 

redone windows now, all back to where should be, wierd problem that was

I am using a wireless usb mouse

as for the sounds, no its very quite actually very nice indeed

 

mandrake i know ur hiding here somewhere

what clocks you managed to get out of your cards? and which drivers are you using?

just bout to run RE5 benchies

 

Evening Pmanuk how it going with the beast hope you haven't broken it yet!!!

Mines running like a dream (for those that don't know myself and Pmanuk picked up our Comanche SLI's today from Kobalt)

Have to say very quiet (was expecting quite a noise)

I'm not techno dude like Pmanuk so I don't tweak halfas much as some of you guys do......but all I can say the comanche SLI is a beautiful machine

SO thank you Kobalt (especially Andrew)

 

I'm using these drivers currently. LINK

Some people are reporting that the 190.38 drivers are really good. LINK- Vista 64bit

As far as clocks for the card they act differently depending on which benchmark your running. Try 630|1025|1575.

 

I didn't get to say congrats pman!!!!!!!

i like the dmc4 runs. you killed the 3870's by alot.

i'm trying to catch up on everything else i was real busy.

 

u havent seen re5 yet...

its amazing, screenies in 5

Welcome Cat, yes it was good meeting you today, i hung around for a few hours with the guys from Kobalt very informative afternoon

Many thanks Niel (i know your here somewhere!)

 

I did try the static benchmark but that wasn't very interesting.

 

hmm doesnt appear to make any difference if sli is on or off...help?

 

pmanuk, did you did a vantage score yet?
If so, how much you got?

 

working on that one nexus, trying to force RE5 to use sli atm

 

re 5 results

not convinced sli is working as only one card appeared to heat up under the load

 

Try this. LINK

 

ill give it a bash and post back

 

hmm thats better check it now

i havent touched the cards....yet...

 

What are your settings? This is another one I'll have to look at old threads to see if I posted anything.

 

don't tempt me like that

nice runs.
so to clarify what drivers are you using. and that run isn't with aa right?

 

no AA on them yet just starting from bottom and working upwards

cpu not gone over 55 degrees and gpu not over 58 so far

im running 186.03 and all stock atm

 

I didn't post screen shots on this one. All I said was after I did the tweaks that Quadzilla recommended my score was 65 w/8xAA. I definitely don't remember my hardware settings.

 

that must have been clocked no way can only loose 5 fps on 8 x aa

 

Nice.

I'm interested in Vantage. You see the score in my sig? That's the challenge.

 

I wish I could remember. It could have also been a benchmark that benefited from the x9100.

 

im running vantage now, but it seems to crash on loading the cpu test :S bug?

yeah maybe high clocked x9100 is the key with that one

 

Are you running the cpu at stock?

 

yep for now

its not doing the test it bugging out and failing to respond on loading screen

 

turn off fraps

 

not good...did you close out other apps that may be running?

 

ah ok, let me try that

is that known for bugging vantage>?

 

yes fraps is a bug for vantage.

 

good call donda its running this time

 

So how did you fix SLI?

 

yeah i had the same situation as you where as soon as i install a OS fraps was the nest thing. but i could never find out why vantage never completed. quad told me it was fraps so i ended it and now i'm good.

 

vantage at stock

 

changed the name of the exe so it forced the hawks sli profile
