*OFFICIAL* Clevo M57ru FAQ & Owners Lounge

yes, they should.

 

But will Clevo do this upgrade?

 

Ech i wish these mobile gpu were on sell like normal desktop gpu... price would drop then

 

What do you guys think about me updating this faq to include m570tu info?

 

They are already heading that direction. My guess is within three years you would be able to buy GPU for yourself for some laptops... Why because nVidia is already trying to standardized the notebook GPU, for instance the MXMs.

 

id take that as an unison no then?

 

I would like to see the M57TU included in this FAQ. Afterall we are just the M57RU's younger bro.

 

Official M570RU/TU sounds good

 

As Gophn said yea! they most prolly would fit!!

I'm personally waiting for nvidia to release mGTX 280 with at least 45-50% increased performance over 8800m before i upgrade!! lol!

I sure hope nvidia succeeds in standardizing MXMs!!

Then i'll buy eVGA mGTX 280!! lol! maybe an xfx or something!!

 

hi guys got a question,i have a m571ru wich was replaced via my insurance,they told me to remove my hard drive.It has xp pro installed on it,The replacement laptop has vista home.iS IT POSSIBLE to change between the two,ie take vista out and use xp?

also this model made by fortunetechnology,it has a x9000 cpu but can not overclock via bios?any ideas thanks

 

Use 1.00.08 BIOS, then u can oc it via BIOS setup.

 

the funny thing is it does have that bios,i can toggle the overclock ,say to 3.2 then f10 to save and exit but it is still at 2.8???

 

Justin, Donald, anybody

Is there any news on upgrading an old M570RU to a 9800M GT/GTX?
Is it possible (I read somewhere it was)? I flashed the bios from V.02 to v.08 recently.
And how much does it cost, if your company sells the card seperately?

Thanks in advance!

 

Asked Clevo Service Center, and they said currently no plan doing that. But if big resellers want it they will do it too.

 

What a pitty

Maybe I should go around PMing Justin and Donald to ask whether they intend to sell it. They don't seem to be replying in this topic anymore

 

Well, marketing policy, sell new machines is better than upgrade old ones.....I think...

 

But they did offer an upgrade package for the 8800M.
They still do, I think

 

If so should be really expensive....I still can´t afford it.

 

Yeah, the 8800 goes at about 750 I think
But it's still cheaper than a new laptop

 

Good news is already saw a EU reseller who sells M570RU+9800MGT.

 

yes there are more than one: Chiligreen, PC Systems Evolution, Osiris, Nexoc etc... this here are in Germany.

In Italy there is Santech but they actually have only the model with 8800M GTX and the one with 9800M GT is not based on a Clevo.

 

Nexoc=Osiris. Chiligreen is the only reseller i´ve seen selling 57RU with 9800M GPU.

 

also pc systems evolution

PS: regarding my request about the right firmware to enable control fan maybe u can send me informations via email? i can't send Private Messages thanks a lot! :wink:

 

I´m not @home now, and the computer i´m using is only a Guest account available. I can´t open my hotmail because of java problem. Ill contact u later.

pc systems evolution only has 98M with 570TU, not RU.

 

Perfect thanks and sorry to all users for this little OT

 

I'll have to check with Sager to see if the M57xRU can support the 9800M GTX...from what I recall, it may not be able to. You can certainly use the 9800M GT, though...it's just an 8800M GTX. If you have an NP5791 or lower, you'll lose S3 standby functionality unless you have Sager upgrade the motherboard.

 

Yes the M570RU supports both 9800M GT and GTX, as stated on Clevo homepage and on Chiligreen (OEM customer) homepage

 

Can you supply links? Normally, if Clevo knows, Sager does as well, and we were informed by Sager this morning that they do not know at this point whether the NP5793/2/1/0 can support the 9800M GTX.

Checking Clevo's page, there is no more listing for the M570RU outside of their support page. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the M570 TU?

 

Well, could you do that pretty please?
And, equally important, could you let me/us know if and/or when you (or Sager) will start selling the 9800M GT or GTX seperatly? And if you do, what the price would be?
Atm I have the 8700M, and I think it's time to upgrade

Greatly appreciate your efforts

 

8800MGTX price is until now still too high, and i guess the 98M will be also not cheap....

 

It probably won't be cheap, that's true
But still, knowing is better than guessing, right

 

Anyone who would like to upgrade their 8800M GTX to a 9800M GTX would be wasting money as a 10% performance increase is just not worth it in my opinion. You could always flash the bios to see a 9800M GT if you want to feel any better.

 

Well, I have a 8700M
So, in my case, it would be worth it

 

thats true.

an 8700M going to a 9800M GT (or GTX) would be a massive gain.

 

thats true for me too (7950GTX)

 

i guess(nd hope) future mGTX 280 will be a major gain over 8800m GTX!!

I'll upgrade then!

 

first thing first you will need a power brick that is triple as big.

 

u mean like a 700W PSU!?? lol!

 

i opened up my 5793 for dust cleaning today, and surprising there are nearly none. i remember Justin said he clean his every month, well the last time i opened mine was 4 months ago. impressive filtering, especially with such powerful fans.

 

Hey everybody, I have a question about the M570RU that I think fits here...

What is the black 3,5mm output used for? In the RealTek settings, it's called "Digital Out", but when I plug something in it, no message from realtek pops up like it normally does (where you can chose what you connected)...

 

i believe it's for 5.1 speakers.

 

hi guys i hope you could help me i want to update my m571ru-u bios to 08s and above but need an iso image of the file,i have looked but cant find any.
I have the 08 bios but oc on the x9000 is unchangeable via the bios?

 

New EC firmware 1.00.10.

When system working temperature reaches fan on point but the system can’t receive normal fan speed information, it will alarm for one minute then shut down.

NO Fn+1/3 function.

 

no fn+1/3 im not sure im willing to try this. And what shuts down? This sounds like a step back.

 

It's saying that when the cpu/gpu reaches the temp that the fan should turn on at, if the system can't tell that the fan is running (ie either because it's not, or because the fan sensor is broken) then the system will alarm and then shut down to avoid your laptop melting. It's a good thing, believe me.

 

I am eyeing the 5793 and I have a quick question. Is the s/pdif output 5.1, 7.1 or other?

 

It supports 7.1 without an external encoder!

The specs show:
Audio Features
Built-in Intel Azalia High Definition Surround 3D sound system w/SRS WOW support
8 Channel Output w/o External Decoder - 4 Multi-function Audio Ports
2 built-in Stereo Speakers + Subwoofer
Built-in microphone
S/PDIF Digital output

 

Let´s wait until Sager release their modified version(Fn1 + Fn3)... so far nothing on their servers, only version 1.00.09.

Maybe I will send them one mail asking for the new .10 version.

 

let me know when you get this Aud.

 

Would anyone know where i would be able to find a copper casing for a 8800m GTX, I just recently purchased a 8800m GTX but its out of a D900C so it has the different casing. I'm replacing my 7950 GTX and i dont believe the copper casing of that will work.
