*** Official Clevo P770ZM / Sager NP9772 and P770ZM-G / Sager NP9773 Owner's Lounge ***

NBC review of the P771ZM is up: Test One K73-5N (Clevo P771ZM) Notebook - Notebookcheck.com Tests

 

Where in Europe can I buy a P771ZM barebone? Don't need any components just the 980M 8GB.
Also, where (it maybe be anywhere) can I buy one Killer 1525?

 

Check the sticky posts first - http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/652403-clevo-resellers-european-union-v1.html - add to this list Clevo Extreme Gaming.

Scan.co.uk have the Killer for sale.

 

cool...any trusted resellers that can come recommended?

also...any reason to go with the Xeon over the 4790k?

 

if ure happy with a locker multiplier then in some instances the xeon model is cheaper than the respective core model at same clocks. thats about it, unless those extra server / business features for security / VM / etc. are important to you

 

Xeons usually have more L3 cache. Check their specification at Intel: ARK | Your Source for Intel Product Information

 

Does any know if there's a Clevo model with desktop CPU and dual SLI 980m available?

 

Not yet.

Sent from my Nexus 5

 

both "not yet". not yet available and not yet known if such a thing is even planned

 

Is it the review available in English? Otherwise I might need my sister-in-law to do a translation for me

With the help of Google Translate I understand that there are some throttling issues under full load, and CPU reaching almost 100ºC in that scenario, is that correct? If that's the case I might be getting the 4790S instead of the K.

 

yes but thats in prime95 and furmark running in parallel. in regular usage such as benchmarks and games the cpu never throttles and uses its max. clocks

the english version always comes out a bit later.

 

What's the difference between the Killer 1202 and 1525?

 

Actually, there is, but it is a couple of years old, lacks the very latest technology, is at EOF for upcoming processors, and is discontinued by most vendors...but it is one heck of a machine. Malibal and Eurocom still carry them, though:

ah yes the P570WM monster still supports 980M in sli though and sports up to 6 desktop cores, thats still blows away any system out there, including most desktops

 

Thank you!
I've just made a configuration exceeding US$ 18k!!!!
Supertoaster!!!

 

actually, it runs quite cool even with highend components, just ask meaker

 

Sigh. Got my 4x8gb sticks of ram and no laptop. Still waiting on xoticpc price quote for custom config still. Trying so hard to not pull the trigger on the tried and true 8278-S yet. I really want to give the batman a chance if things work out.

 

Actually, I think you can throw a 12 core Xeon v2 in it. If a successor machine comes out...or maybe I should say "when"... I will be all over it!

Until then, I have really high hopes for the 770ZM...but I'm starting to get an uneasy feeling....

 

uneasy how? and true, didnt think about the xeon models

 

The new Xeon E5-2697 v3 is LGA2011-3. We need a new mobo with DDR4. Hope they use a better looking chassis next time. It should be a monster only inside! lol

 

the xoticpc staff is saying that this machine has three total fans.one for cpu and two - one for each gpu in sli. im personally in between this sager and msi gt72 domiantor pro, the one which can reach 4.0 ghz turbo.the sager wins in every performance related aspect imo(at least on paper),the main difference being that it has the cpu is replaceable too,compared to msi's which is soldered,but msi is certain to support two more gpu generations(or so they say).however ive read some mixed reviews about clevo/sager and their way to deal with laptop issues/fulfilling the warranty,altho some other people said their machine never had a single issue.id need a bit of help making my choice,im about to go msi just because it seems more like a trustworthy company/something you can rely on.

 

I think the best way to decide is: to try it!
Reach out for those companies. Measure how they treat you.
If you don't get satisfied with the pre-sales: FORGET ABOUT IT!
You own the money. They must bend over for it!

The P771ZM have only 2 fans:

Check the review[1] and also good pictures on this site[2]. It's in german but the Google translation isn't the worst that I've read.

[2] http://www.clevo-extreme-gaming.com/CLEVO_P771ZM/p2920174_13514978.aspx

 

The SLI clevo machines use 3 fans, the none SLI (With the exception of the P6xx series which uses two slim fans for the GPU) use 2 fans.

 

Lack of screen choices/review of current screen is less than stellar; coil whine issue (Is it the gpu? is it the sound card? is it unshielded electronics on the motherboard?); heatsink issues (Is it warped? Was it improperly designed as a one-piece unit to cover the gpu and cpu? Are the screws too short?). Granted, the last 2 apply to the Batman and not necessarily the (whatever the nickname is for the 17.3"), but given what I said some posts ago about the 9860 I owned (and still have...along with a 9890...though I don't use either anymore), I'm wondering if this is another case of not enough R&D going into these models prior to release, just so that a unique product can be brought out as quickly as possible. I don't want to be an alpha tester!

 

Is anyone having power supply issues when overclocking the P77xZM with the 4790K?
Is it really needed to have a 330W power adapter?
What about that 2x 330W power adapter with converter box?

 

just ordered a p770zm. it's in phase 0. sigh.

 

But it's the best Phase 0!

 

how about phase 7 by monday? lol. btw, any idea on the lead time to my door? about 2 weeks?

 

Not quite going to happen there. 7-12 business days is the official estimate but we do see most going 5-10 for standard production.

 

So i am leaning towards this model.... though i am getting a lot of Zbook recommendations too... any comparison thoughts?

 

Do you need a quadro card?

 

Sager all the way.

 

Hello, is the screen on this laptop better or worse than the p170em one?

 

i am pretty sold on the K5100m for my Adobe needs...i like a lot about the Sager...but the Zbook's screen options make me hesitant

 

I notice from xotic pc the configurations don't include the operating system. If one orders from them and select one of the operating systems as an option do they install it for you or just send it on a disc for you to install yourself.?

 

Depends on if you order a drive or not. You can also tell them which drive, or don't install if you do order a drive. I ordered mine without ram or drives.

 

Thanks for reply.
I was looking at getting the sager np9772-s with the msata boot and HDD .and windows os. I was just hopping if I ordered this way it would come with os install and everything already set up. I hate reinstalling windows on a machine and trying to get all the drivers and compenents working proper.

 

M.2. Not msata. And in the options their should be an option to install as OS drive when you pick your drives. Windows is easier to install these days, but it seems installing on m.2 drives could be slightly more difficult if you use a drive that uses pcie instead of SATA. Not that big a deal as I'm sure there are many guides but will be a pain for less technically inclined. Also, all the latest drivers will usually be installed for you. You could save some bucks getting your own drives but if you want to.avoid the hassle of OS install male sure you pick the right options.

 

Thanks for info . I will make sure to check when ordering.
I take it no one has the np9772-s in their possession yet

 

i'm still awaiting mine. it is phase 0. hopefully payment will be processed. i'm guessing/hoping i will receive mine by feb. 6 at the latest.

 

Where did you order from if you don't mind me asking.

 

I just ordered mine on the 23rd from Xotic. Went to payment processing today but looks like the screens are on back order on the sagernotebook site till the 3rd.

Hoping to get mine before the 5th because i fly out for work but thinking I will probably get it when i get back home the following week

 

For the ones that want an IPS panel: according to the reseller I'm planning on buying from they'll arrive mid February

 

Just the kind of news I've been waiting to hear! Any specs/model info? Is this just for your European vendor?

 

info from mySn website / configuration page of the P770ZM (XMG U705):

17.3 (43,9 cm) Full HD (1920 × 1080) Non-Glare
Modell: CHIMEI N173HGE-L11

17.3 (43,9 cm) Full HD (1920 × 1080) Non-Glare IPS
Modell: LG LP173WF4-SPF1

link: mySN.de | SCHENKER XMG | Schenker Technologies - XMG U705 ULTIMATE Gaming Notebook 43,9cm (17.3")

 

Darn ...not as exciting as I had hoped...

 

what exactly did u have in mind@exciting?

specs for the IPS screen: http://www.panelook.com/LP173WF4-SPF1_LG Display_17.3_LCM_parameter_21056.html

 

This screen is only 79 percent of sRGB and 58 percent of AdobeRGB standards.

WHOA! Just did a search for better screens...and I just found THIS: EUROCOM Images

Scroll down to Panther 7N. THAT'S what I want on a screen!

THIS I have to find out more about! I've been waiting for a P570WM successor...it may be on it's way! And look at those supposed screen specs! Hopefully this is not just vaporware...and if it is on Eurocm's site, I doubt it is.

Does anyone out there have any news on the 7N?!?!?

OMG! Dual Xeons?? http://web.eurocom.com/ec/ecu_model_config1%281,227,0%29

I think I've died and gone to heaven!

 

those specs are just insane *lol*

meaker? i think ive found ur future baby

edit: i think that might be an old april fool´s joke
