Say friend, I realize you are removing names and emails, but this is still against forum rules. Please go back and edit those posts and summarize the message in your own words. The information you are sharing is still appreciated just as much. Thank you for letting us know what you learned.

Thanks. Here was my reply:

As much as possible, avoid cross-posting as well. That is also one of the bullets in the forum rules (see bullet #4). I like how you posted a link to this tread in the other one initially. That's an excellent way to alert others to the discussion in a different thread, and it's not cross-posting. I actually would encourage that because it's impossible to keep track of every discussion that has content that might be of keen interest.

Have a nice afternoon.

 

Alright, noted.

What do you make of the benchmarks?

 

Link was dead for me.

 

Benchmark for P570WM/3 running 980M SLI - http://www.eurocom.com/ec/benchmark(78)ecc

 

Try again with the new link above.

 

So does this mean i can go ahead and order 2 x 980m and put them in? =)

 

Indeed.

 

I got new bios from sager for my laptop but they seem to have problem with 3D model. they gave me normal model bios and Lost my 3D stereoscopic in nvidia panel. I think I should go back to my old bios with 3D vision supported.

 

What video card do you have installed?

 

770m SLI. in fact I asked them for the VGA bios (vbios) of 3D version notebook, and they gave me motherboard bios for non 3D version. Maybe my gnglish isn't that good, it happens

 

Other than eurocom anyone in the US or that ships to the US that still sells the P570WM ?

 

Eurocom is Canadian.

 

Eurocom panther 5 with 980m!!

 

Yes i know, wanted to know who else was selling, Eurocoms pricing is a bit inflated.

 

buy a barebone off ebay with everything except GPU, grab two GPU from rjtech and you're set.

btw, hello clevo / AW MSI introduces GT80 Titan gaming laptop with mechanical keyboard

 

Yes a bit more ccompetition could be interesting. It won't match the p570wm for raw cpu power though.

 

From Eurocom.

We just added new drivers for GTX 980M – you may share this with other users up there
We support both Win 7 and Win 8.1

Strange, but they also said:


There is no GPU O/C supported by NVIDIA for 980m so can’t O/C GPU
Unless there is something that we don’t know so please share with us

 

Yea, so its compatible. You need to mod the drivers, and that link that they post aren't modded or anything

So long as you have a 780m+ capable P570WM we'll be more than happy to sell you the card Once we get enough backstock to sell them alone

 

I've seen the usual +135mhz core limit from all the 980M cards so far.

 

So if we are running 780m+ we can run the 980m with drivers from you(mythlogic)?

 

It likely would be fine with modified inf drivers from laptop video 2 go.

 

Went to checkout laptopvideo2go site to check on yhe drivers. But got an error. Must be down.

Sent from my SM-N900V

 

Well i have changed my mind, I'll be picking up a pair of GTX980M cards for my machine instead.

 

Why so? I thought you was gonna jump on another platform/laptop?

 

which vbios do you use to overclock vga card? slv7?

 

u might have made the right decision.

 

Ah I understand your comment about being bad with desktops now.

 

Since 1080p won't really cut it for 2x 980m cards I've got an asus swift 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor on the way

 

What about the other notebook-to-be, did you cancel it or are you keeping it for backup?

 

gotta wait for 20nm man all gotta say, only half a year wait not bad

 

Just sticking with the 570WM, I don't need 3 GTX 980m cards in the house

 

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to de-lid a i7-3970x ? That is I have read that deviations in core temps can be caused by poor paste under the Heat Spreader...or perhaps degraded. I have read two thoughts on the matter; one, the lids are soldered and you can't de-lid them safely, the other says it is necessary in order to overclock effectively. Thoughts an opinions?

I recently repasted with Liquid Ultra, seems to be doing ok so far, nothing significant other that temps seem to jump around more, but no noticeable change in temp so far

 

3970X IHS is soldered, so there's really no point in delidding.

 

@ n=1, I am not saying your wrong but it looks like glue all the way around it and not solder?, also if yo usearch de-lid 3970x, there is a post by someone who "recommends" it for this chip? Have you ever de-lidded any other chips, and for what purpose?

 

I think the 3xxx might not have been but the 4xxx certainly is.



My 570WM is ready for the cards now.

 

If it has what looks like a "breathing hole" then there's a 99% probability it's soldered. IIRC all the HEDT chips had a soldered IHS.

If by recommend you mean this thread, the next post basically just says what I did.

 

Maybe the pictures of the de-lidded ones are of those who have melted the solder and removed the IHS.

 

If you absolutely have to delid your 3970X, perhaps this post will give you some insight?

 

Thanks for the input and information. @ n=1, the recommend thread that you linked is not the same one, but as you can see, several posts saying it can and should be done, and many saying that it is impossible. Thanks again for the links and info.

 

Oh yeah it can definitely be done, there's even a picture of a delidded Xeon X5670 which has a soldered IHS. Just saying there's a high risk you may kill your chip since you'll need to heat the solder past its melting temp, which is typically (far) in excess of 100C.

 

that hdmi? vga? connecting to external monitor

pretty sure all E chip are soldered. @takaezo, just put in a 4930k, ivy runs cooler and faster anyway.

 

Considering 144hz 1440p takes more bandwidth than 4k 60hz it has to be displayport

 

Yeah even HDMI 1.4b only has enough bandwidth for 120Hz @ 1080p correct?

And I remember reading somewhere that the theoretical bandwidth of dual-link DVI allows somewhere in the ballpark of 80-90Hz @ 1440p, but definitely not 120Hz. So yeah only DP has enough bandwidth for 120Hz @ 1440p right now.

 

ugh im not a display junkie, im happy with just the regular 60ghz at 1080p

 

No point in getting 980M SLI for 1080p Certainly not when they are unlocked and tweaked.

 

I gotta ask. Why do people even say that? These are not desktop cards. And the newer games haven't even gotten released yet. And there are a few games that seriously struggle with mobile cards.
That is just crazy. Current game I'm playing right now. "Shadow of Mordor" Still struggles at parts and it's maxed at 1080P. A single desktop 980 will struggle so what makes people think the mobile cards wont? That's crazy.
