*OFFICIAL* Clevo M57ru FAQ & Owners Lounge

That's amazing!. Do you have a link to the score?

 

Here's what I got from OCing to 2.9 in vista.

It's stable and cpu temps only reached 53 under full load. It was fun, but I'm going back to stock 2.5. It's fast enough as is .

Dan

 

Wow! You guys are really pushing the boat out. That's better than most SLi setups.

 

WOW!!!!!!

Thats amazing for a single GPU notebook, imagine the score in XP!!

 

Can you post a pick of your settings in setfsb for your current clocks?

 

Yeah, sure. This was taken before I added one more point to the upper value. Couldn't get it to 3 Ghz though, not stable at all .

Dan

 

Does anyone know how you find the GPU temperature in Vista? Can't find it anywhere. Using stock drivers.

Thanks

 

Use HWMonitor. You can get it here:

Dan

 

Thanks. Much appreciated...

 

Wait, I just realized. Does this mean I can get put in the benchmark hall of fame on the first page of this thread?

T9300, 8800mGTX, 4gb RAM, vista 64bit, 167.43 drivers

Dan

 

Hi everyone
I'm joining the lounge and here's my 3dmark06 score:

 

nice score.

i need a new 8800M GTX notebook... my 7800GTX is getting date.

 

And to think the 88M GTX actually uses less power than a 78GoGTX

 

Hey Atomicdeluxe, what driver version are you using for that 3dmark score?

 

Well, at least someone (or is that some-thing) has a social life around here - does it get in much past midnite?

 

ok, ill also run 3d mark, so we can see the diff bw the X7900 and X9000. but first i have to install driver sweeper and do all the other crap, then run 3d mark. I hate drivers....

 

I'm using stock drivers (167.43)

 

I haven't dared taken the protective film off yet, lol.

 

Lol, I kept it for about 2 weeks

 

Well, you've got to keep it future proof, lol.:yes:

 

I overclocked my CPU (2.0 to 2.4) check out this score!

 

Lol, i took it off after 3 days

 

just a note: i will be updating the front page of the lounge in the next few days after i get teh driver issue of my laptop sorted out and after some tests are over so please be patient. DOes anyone have any suggestions of what i should include/change? thx

if u want ur scores in the HOF, ill be checking the last 5 pages for scores. If ur post is not between the last 5 pages, then if u dont mind could ya repost the scores.
thanks

regards,
Hkman

 

I'm curious about one thing though. How did my overclocked 2.9 Ghz t9300 3dmarks06 score beat an x9000 clocked at 3.2 Ghz? I'm sure that I ran at the same resolution because I'm running the free version of 3dmarks and have a WUXGA screen. Does using the Vista tweaks thread here at NBR cause that much of a difference? I was pleasantly surprised when I hit over 70 fps in the "Return to Proxicon" 3d test though.

Dan

 

yeah me too.. I got up to 77 fps in the beggining of 3dmark06...I know synthetics dont mean much, and i dont keep my CPU OC'd, but regardless it is still rather fun and exciting to know WE can overclock with stablity and added performance! BTW my cpu temps never got above 44C during 3dmark06 OC to 2.4ghz (though i had fan control on FULL fn+1)

 

ran 3dmark again and got 9950, one core got up to 59c ( which isnt bad at all!) still not as good as the 9964! But i think anything above 2.4ghz isnt going to be very stable. Testing....

 

well I broke the 10,000 point mark with my little c2d 2.0 @ 2449 mhz. Check it out ! Not bad temps either, though I wont be keeping the settings OC to that but fun anyway!

 

Nice score naticus

Never used 3DMark before.... so just curious as to how accurate it is in producing results... I mean, each time you run it on the same machine, how much precision is there in both results ? Are they the same, very similar, etc. ?

 

How did you overclock your processor naticus?

My Sager NP5790 has a C2D T7300 2.00GHz but I couldn't overclock it...

EDIT: just finishing reading this thread... Followed the settings on your screenshot and now I can overclock my t7300 to 2.30GHz...

EDIT 2: done a 3dmark06 test with GPU (174.16 driver) oced to the max and CPU @ 2.30GHz. Seems pretty nice imo for my system with a 7950GTX...

 

Ive just added my self, to the group of M570RU-U (got "Extreme...." printed below) owners Got it im my hands yesterday and what a beauty There is just one thing with it, its a style-note ?? I havent ever heard about em before, but brought it through a reseller stationed closly Compared to my old, crappy (and always faulty) lappy this one is no but improvement

I got it only with the t7500 and 2 gb ram, couldnt really affort the penryn t9300, so would rather wait and upgrade sometime later when i really need that sort of processingpower

I expected it to be a powerhouse and it SURLY is one aswell Yes, it is a bit noisy and it isnt a sager, so ill have to see if i can get the fan-throttle some elsewhere, but it is NOWHERE near what I expected, well the fans have a funny idea spinning up to crasy speeds and then settle, and thats kinda buggering me, but running crysis and cod4 it's not much louder than my old FS Xi1546 Ive got installed the Laptopvideo2go 167.43 drivers, which are working probberly on this baby, resulting in 8573 Marks in 3D Mark 06 @ res 1280*1024 (compare link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5562578 ,if interrested)

Ill update my sig later, just had a break with some time to play with the machine

 

You broke it alright, in 1280x800
There are users that got over 10k at 1280x1024.
I`m only saying that,because that`s the refference for testing,and I know you only have WXGA+ ..
Still, a very nice score!

 

obviously im hardware limited...but i dont think an extra 200 res would differ all that much .. still close to 10k!

 

I think you should`ve guessed by now that I`m freakin jealous

 

oh..well i will be jealous when you get that 15incher from Clevo! LOL...i might sell mine if it turns out to be good on Temps as well ( the alienware m15x's are having major problems in this area).

 

Hi guys,

I need a new laptop, with the current one, I kinda broke some of the keys while cleaning it. >_> That, and its getting old and I feel that the HD is about to give anytime soon.

a) I wanted to ask, since the front page says it doesn't support 800Mhz RAM, however on the website of Clevo m57*RU does support, but it doesn't say it supports 8800GTX, so go figure.

b) Anyways, I was looking into purchasing a pretty high-end laptop that'll be future proof for at least 2 years. So I narrowed it down to this laptop, but I'm still iffy if I should go all out or should I wait.

c) My configuration would be:
WUXGA 1920x1200
Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 - 2.50GHz
nVidia 8800GTX - 512MB
2GB RAM 800Mhz (Cost the same as the 667Mhz) + 1GB Intel Turbo Memory
200GB 7200rpm

I'll be spending about $2,500CAD before tax and shipping. It's be from Eurocom. Its a bit much, but its much better than what Alienware, Dell or other companies can bring for such price.

i) SIDE NOTE: @MegaBUD - How's your transaction between so for concerning your bleeding lighting? I asked for a quote and they replied within the hour and gave me a good deal.

Would it be safe to buy this system or wait it out till the end of the year for Intel's new platform? Granted, like all technology, it will eventually be outdated, I just don't want to fall into that trap where you buy the high-end only to see it out-done with the latest release the week after. No iPhone price drop for me.

 

I wouldn't bother with the 800Mhz of RAM as it will only downclock it to 667Mhz anyway. Apart from that, it's definitely the best spec for the price imho. I'd go for it, as waiting is just burning a hole in your pocket, if u know what I mean.

 

Naticus also bought it from Eurocom if i am not mistaken.

Do you need it now? If not u could wait a couple of months till the 570TU comes out...

 

hmm, actually, I'll wait... but get the same laptop

Clevo's updated m570

So, I'll continue to lurk here while people OC the hell out of their toys. I wonder what the 3dMark would be on the Extreme equipped machines.

Also, do you think its possible to replace the fans on this laptop? I honestly don't care, but I'm very self-conscious sometimes when my current laptop goes into overdrive.

@Geforce2go: Thanks for the confirmation about the RAM

@hkman: I just checked engadget, looks like I'll be waiting and pestering eurocom when they'll have it in. =)

 

PCMW broke 11.2 K in the X9000 proccesor

 

Urbanbuddha.... as you can see even when i OC'd the Hell out of my cpu it still stayed rather cool. I don't think you could go wrong with this system. Also Eurocom is great! They have Really good support and are very knowledgeable and they wont BS you!

 

How did u OC the system w/o the new back thing naticus?

 

Back Thing?

Im not sure what the back thing is? But I downloaded a program called SetFSB...then i selected the PLL, then I moved the slider to where it said 2400 mhz ...BAM one of the easiest OC that I have ever done. You should try it. Easily you can ( and stable for that matter) add 400mhz to your cpu with very,very little added heat!

edit: The PLL is ICS9LPR363DGLF

 

Is overclocking becoming a sport. Because if it is, it's a very dangerous one.

 

OC is more of a prestige point, itsnot really needed, for its help in games is minimal to mediocore.

 

to me it helps "smoothen" the gameplay a little..it works fine on my computer and temps are pretty much the same..

 

I agree that OCing does not impact games as much, but I think OCing would be beneficial (in terms of time) for intensive computational applications like encoding or image filtering. Granted, you'll save a couple seconds, if you do this for a living, that's a lot of hours saved especially if you "scrub" data (real-time video rendering) a lot.

 

I did that too. btw do I need to move the 2nd slider to a higher number? How much should I move it to?

 

DONT move the second slider! I read that it can cause instability and hardware problems...why? I have no Idea, i read it on [H] forums.

 

Ok. Thanks for telling me that.

 

Has anyone changed their processor on their laptop? Was it difficult?

I've upgraded processors before, but they were desktops, so I was wondering if its on par in terms of difficulty?

The reason I asked, is that probably every 6 months or so, I would want to add a new layer of Artic Silver and/or change to a new processor specially Intel's new socket B processors.
