    Forgive me if you guys have answered this question a bunch of times...

    Sager factory version has an "IC Diamond" paste option. What's their track record for pasting? I can also do this and perhaps use another compound (*not* liquid metal or anything that conducts electricity =P). I will probably get this optional paste job because it's relatively cheap and I can repaste if temps look off, but I'm interested to hear what people's experience are with this.

    ICD is good but you can also buy own tube... For cost of factory icd you can buy 11g of kryonaut which is even better

    Oddly enough, in this case the "special" version is cheaper with the IC paste option. If there is no harm in factory IC then I will re-paste if needed with kryonaut as you suggested. Thanks!

    Ninja its because he works really hard on this stuff, and he does it all for alone through mostly donations. Stealing work from one of the true gods of the forum like @Prema would make many users (myself included) absolutely furious. (And I'm supposedly a deity) I hope he has some legal protection against something like that.

    Yah that pretty much goes. (which is why im kinda shocked i got blindsided like that when all i mentioned was looking at it from all the w7 comments if it was indeed available because anyone can look at it with right programs...even if it was released and donated and grabbed it theres nothing to say i cant my jobs literally code checking and i get curious to how stuff works)

    Its branded so thats pretty much safety net from that kinda stuff Ide be surprised if someone tried...its a huge risk from messing something up from changes alone


    Aaaanddd for those wanting w7! Ill put page up with 7 compatible drivers to start and working xhci slipstream if i can...and also quick TuT later make it easy...

    The P650RS with a 4K display and 6820hk got seriously back ordered. I apparently likely won't get it for 2-3 more weeks now...

    Welcome to eu pricing and VAT! Only cheap anything is like...medion and seagate products and GeiL and eu market brands.

    On the flipside getting something fixed in warranty period isnt as much of jump through ring of fire

    and CLEVO ;-) will click on purchase soon for P670-RP6G 1060 (as you if I remember well). Medion got a lot of CLEVO model (but old until now). I think I will go with Obsidian.
    But still don't really understand the price difference between CLEVO and MSI in Europe...

    Obsidian should be able to hook you up. MSI pricing in eu overall is bit skewy I think it is seen as more luxury...I was gonna order my GE62 while in germany but went against it

    Is it possible for you to measure fan noise when gaming? That's the only thing who prevent me to pull the trigger... and hesitating with the GT62

    No clue. All Clevo laptops I've owned, I've installed the OS myself. If I had to guess, I'd say you'd have to uninstall the suite and reinstall their drivers-only package.

    well I just ordered the Eluktronics P670rp6 from newegg. I talked to Eluktronics over email and said they include a non gsync ips pannel which surprised me. I got it for a price I could only get close with building completely bare bones from others.

    So some news.... EC flash from XMG worked perfectly on my RP6 even though its labeled for RS which is no issue since it uses same bios between the systems decided to tempt fate.

    So for those wanting to use it...its as simple as running rufus, booting into freedos with bios in legacy mode and typing ecflash.bat

    Was getting a few drops here and there IIRC, but it may have been the router too. Nonetheless, I prefer my drivers packages minimal.

    i see. Was hoping i could use the suite that came with it to try out some of the features. Before you uninstalled it, did any of its features help? Packet prioritization etc?

    Did you have, while flashing, message about wrong version or wrong project?

    Edit. I made photo ;)

    Not really, but I don't do any sort of bandwidth multitasking when I game. I also didn't bother trying to combine the interfaces because it's completely unnecessary for anything I do.

    My P650RS-G arrived two days ago and I was so excited to test out the new system, but alas...one of the onboard RAM slots is defective :(

    Originally I was just running some stress tests to try and see if all the components were working so that I could potentially overclock (I have a 6820hk), but it kept failing every stress test with "hardware failure" messages (Aida64, MemTest, Prime95). I am using 4x8gb DDR4 2133 modules so I thought one or more of them might be defective, so I started to run MemTest 86 with one RAM stick at a time. Surprisingly, the modules ran fine so I wondered if one of the onboard RAM slots was malfunctioning. I tested a stick of RAM in each slot and found that the right slot behind the keyboard was defective; any time I put a stick of RAM in there, weird things started happening. I got a BSOD at the WIndows login screen and I just finished repairing my Windows installation (thank God I saved the Windows installation on my USB stick).

    Hopefully, LPC-Digital can give me a working unit in due time, as this is my primary laptop for school. It would be wonderful if they would let me keep using the laptop (with the 3 working RAM slots) while they ship me a new one, but I don't know if that's going to happen.

    EDIT: Well looks like the left one under the keyboard isn't working. Guess that kind of makes sense since they're dual channel and everything...

    Hi guys, I got my p650rs running on 1070 and did some monitoring of the temperatures using hwinfo. My gpu temperatures went up to max 88 degrees while gaming on return of the tomb raider on max settings. Is it normal? If not, I most probably go back to my reseller and ask them to repaste the gpu. I have underclock the cpu to -175.

    I used the same file. I learned the German circa 25 years ago ;) but as I understood EC_XMG_P507_P707_1.05.02TR1 was prepared for 15,6" with 1070 and 17" with 1060/1070 while EC_XMG_P507_mit_1060_1.05.02TR1 only for 15"6 with 1060.

    Anyone knows how to open the p650rp6-g. Im trying to open it currently removed all screws and pulling at the ethernet port but i got a lot of resistance. i also see that my gpu heatsink is coming up as well. Im really afraid to pull further cuz i feel like i might bent my heatpipes or something. i already cut my finger when i tried to slide that under to create more room. I just spotted two small plasic pieces at the roster and get under the heatsink and pull it up... nvm finnaly got it lose by putting some cards under it and opening it via the lower end

    Repaste is a definite here. What paste came with your laptop? Stock or something aftermarket like IC7 or Gelid GC?

    Bottom opens up entirely and hsf is held down by 5 fan screws besides gpu and cpu screws in one big piece so just grab ICD or. kryonaut or anything that is NOT as5 on amazon for 8 to 10 bucks!

    I just updated the EC from XMG and wow what a difference. My only gripe with this machine was the fan noise. With this new EC and gsync activated it was so much quieter playing CSGO. I am sure when I play something more demanding the fans will kick up higher but at least when I need it quiet (like when sat by my better half) I can just lower the settings and cap the frames

    Can anyone post a vid of the difference between fan noise before and after updated EC firmware from XMG?
    Trying to convince myself which laptop to buy between this a MSI GT62 and maybe a NP9152/P750DM2 ( don't think I need a desktop CPU but sort of want one)
    Looking for the quietest GTX 1070 GPU equipped laptop when gaming and so far the GT62 has a slight lead but I ask you owners what you think of the fan noise?
    Thanks

    I have p670rp and installed my ssd yesterday.

    0. Unplug the notebook. Make sure you keep track of where ALL of the screws come from so you know where to return them.
    1. Remove all screws from the bottom of the notebook including the keyboard screws
    2. Remove the bottom cover by lifting from the Ethernet port. Cover should gently pop off. If it seems resistant check to make sure you haven't missed a screw
    3. There is a rectangular metal frame held down by 3 screws near the front of the laptop. Remove those 3 screws.
    4. Lift the metal rectangular frame
    5. Screw in your SSD into the rectangular frame using the 4 extra silver screws in the HDD plastic bag that came with the manual. Probably the top slot I think. Make sure it lines up to the SATA interface on the laptop.
    6. Return the rectangular frame with SSD into the slot in the laptop. Push the SSD firmly into the connector.
    7. Return the 3 screws into their appropriate slots.
    8. Replace cover and all screws.

    I want to know the same thing.

    I actually remember you were asking about quiet machines a year or so ago. I had a P157SM w/ 780m and wanted to make sure I never bought such a loud machine again.
    Ended up with a MSI GT72 (980m) for a while... but as quiet as it was (steady "whoosh" only), it was way too big. Sold it, and have been very happy with my Dell 7559 (960m) since.

    But now the 960m is getting to the stage where it's just not cutting it. I think the P670RS-G would be my ideal machine (GTX 1070, display which overclocks to 100hz, subtle styling) - but reports of loud fan noise has really put me off. Was hoping a mix of an updated BIOS and undervolted CPU might be the magic pill which means I can dive back into Clevo's.
