Yes, that seems more inline of what you'd expect for GPU temperatures upon load.

I was wondering if there is anything I need to know about setting up the computer? Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit is coming installed on the system, so is it just start up and go, or is there anything people would recommend I do in setting it up? Thanks.

Check you have the latest graphics drivers and are looking out for the christmas steam sale.

Thank you both. According to tracking my new computer is stuck at Gatwick Airport at the moment *sigh.* When it does arrive, where would I find the software to check my temps and 3Dmark please?
As for buying new games in the steam sale, between the new computer and christmas my funds are a little stretched. (I didn't break the bank, but there may be a few holes in the walls.) So I think I'll be limiting myself to just some DLC for Shogun 2 and XCOM.
All the Best,
Union Jack. -
You can buy the Secret World though, it's excellent in terms of writing but should be seen as a coop game rather than a real MMO - it's really designed for solo or 3-4 people experience max. But there is no subscription, and will make your computer cry (dx11 tessellation txaa/fxaa...).
To Union jack : hwinfo for temperatures HWiNFO64 Download and 3Dmark11 for benching on dx11 which you can find on... steam, apparently. -
Hey guys,
Just got my Eurocom Scorpius. Love this thing, a much needed upgrade from my previous D901c.
Quick specs:
3740qm
1x680m
Samsung 830 SSD
16gb ram
I'm having some issues. I keep getting the message "Display driver has crashed and recovered." This is just happening in windows sessions, usually associated with running chrome but has happened at other times. I'm hoping this doesn't spell a bad card because it seems to be running fine otherwise. I'm running the newest beta drivers but have tried others as well; currently 310.70.
Thanks for any help. I'll try running the basic furmark this evening and see how it goes.

Honestly, this makes me so MAD!
*Sigh.* It's going to be a loooooooong weekend.
EDIT: Okay, I take back what I said about DHL. It's just been delivered.
All the Best,

LOL, the hulk has calmed down and is now a happy chap
Most decent couriers will deliver on a Saturday if they screwed up earlier in the week. (Well they do when I prod them anyway) -
Thanks for the help, time to benchmark and make sure this thing is operating correctly. -
Please observe a moment of silence for my brand new SSD. Computer froze, and it's no longer detected in the BIOS. The holidays are gonna be boring...

Thanks again.

I have opened a thread here http://forum.notebookreview.com/solid-state-drives-ssds-flash-storage/700434-my-ssd-dead.html for a full description of the issue. -

Just as a note, the common guidance is that crucial M4 drives can be reset by removing the data cable and turning on the system with just the power connected, not really possible in a notebook.
This works as the drive controller resets if no commands or data are sent for an extended period, this also happens to be the case in the system bios. -
Hi all,
Currently setting up my XMG P722 and I have a quick question. How do I switch off multi-touch gestures please? It's driving me round the bend. ^^
Thanks,

Is it worth spending money on warranty? I have been thinking not extending the warranty on the clevo, what do you guys think? is it really needed?

In all my back and forth in deciding which notebook to get, and being 3 choices all segar/clevo I never looked at this one, thought be more out of my price range when all is said and done. I can configure it at my max spending cap I made for myself, and not much more than the np9170, but have the added benifit for future upgrade to sli from single 7970, and dont have to deal with enduro issues..I like that...Hopefully sale prices hold out long enough..or well new ones come after current set

System is up and running like a champ! Big thanks to all the info on here and to Rebkos for helping me with the OC'ing of the 7970.
Everything was eventually ironed out except for one small glitch with MSI afterburner where if i OC to 940/1400 and try and revert back to stock 850mhz/1200 it goes down to 300/150 instead and i then need to reboot the machine to restore stock clock. So far this isn't a big deal since the card handles the games just fine on stock but in the event i'd want to oc, this would be a nice feature to have working and not glitch on me. Any ideas?
Threw quite a bit of games at it so far (far cry 3, dishonored, borderlands 2, bf3, Planetside 2, guild wars 2, Assassin's creed 3) and the 7970 took it like a pro. (I believe all were on max settings @51-60 fps with temps of 70-80 C) -
I am glad to say that i have joined the owners league with my purchase of a 9370 from xoticpc. However i am having some major issues with my graphics card 680m I am running driver version 310.70 my vbios is 80.04.33.00.10 (p2051-b002)
The issue i am having is my GPU core clock at is 101.3MHZ idle when i start a game or benchmark it hits a maximum of 179.6 MHZ and shows the gpu usage at 99%. I am using Hwinfo64 and GPU-z to record this. Also under both i am showing the Video Bus running at x8 v1.1 instead of x16 v3.0
Now before i ship this puppy back to sager for a new video card is there any tricks i can try to kick this card into shape? -

Please note I've attached the ROM file, no warranty, may eat your children, dog, family, cause the end of the world... just do nvflash -4 -5 -6 800467.rom (you'll probably need to tell it which adapter if you are in SLI) (make sure you do them both if you have SLI at the same time)
Sager would make you send it back for a GPU swap, thats not neededWe've been shipping nothing but 80.04.67.00.01 for about 5 weeks now, having to upgrade all our 680m. No biggie, thats why we build'em lol.

thank you so much for the quick reply and the help..
But for the life of me I cant get this thing to boot up into DOS I made bootable dos thumbdrive and it works on my desktop.. but not on the laptop. by default secure boot was disabled but its greyed out so I cant even mess with that. -
-
Ok I had to disable uefi in the bios and then I was able to boot into the USB drive. I have flashed the card and reinstalled the drivers. weird issue though I am not able to use gpu-z any longer It errors out along with NVidia inspector. Hwinfo does work and I am checking it now. It still shows current clock at 135... with out gpuz I am not able to tell what vbios I am running.
-
My 7970 is idling at 58 degrees Celsius.
Is that normal? -
-
You can still use MSI Afterburner with the new vBIOS.

Hi all
I've finally decided my mind and ordered an P370em!
i7 3630
8gb ram
ssd 120gb samsung 840
hdd 500gb wd scorpio black
1 x amd ati 7970m
intel n 6235 + bt
I will only receive it next week, but like everyone i'm excited and can't wait.
At first I was thinking of using Ubuntu for day to day tasks, and Windows to play... but who am I fooling? I wan this mainly for playing so i don't think i'll try Ubuntu in it.. at least at first.
I was wondering and would like to know from you guys, if there are any important things to do first, as in bios configuration, ssd tweeks, etc.
cheers -
One brother here bricked his BIOS. Could anyone of you please dump your non 3D P370EM BIOS for him to recover his?:

what should I do first after installing OS?
regarding drivers and updates, should I install Clevo drivers first and then do windows updates or the opposite?

Hello,
I hope someone else will be able to help you...
Just a question: Isn't there any recovery procedure on this laptop, like a key combination (Fn+B) at startup?
Regards!
