    Hmmm. I took it you meant both CCC and XTU from your post (see the quote).

    But regardless, CCC is fine if one does install it with the utility or if the installer's ini file is modified.

    Before I make a decision on this or the P650HS-G I was curious how available replacement/additional batteries are for the P750DM2-G? I see HIDevolution offers them for $150 extra with the laptop, is this the best price for them or can they be found else where through battery vendors for cheaper?

    Also how necessary is the 330W power brick for the 1070 version of a p750dm2-g or do you not need the extra power?

    Never use Furmark.
    It is known to damage gpus.
    It is known that drivers will even cut performance if they detect it.
    It is known that it should never be used.

    I take it you are running the latest GPU drivers? Games are much more tasking that movies and other desktop activities.

    You could try using a driver cleaning utility and do a fresh install, I have used this in the past when experiencing issues with nvidia drivers...

    What are your temperatures like on the GPU before you crash?

    I know this was an old post, but was this about the P750DM or P770DM? I am curious because I thought I saw information saying the P750DM2 had a pass through screw port that you could just remove 2 screws and then push a screw driver through to pop off the keyboard instead of having to remove everything underneath. Am I incorrect in my understanding of how to access the memory on this machine? Not that it is a huge deal and I probably won't actually need those 2 ports or not for a while but I prefer it to be easier to access than not and it's one of the big things in trying to decide between a P750 or MSI barebones. The easier to access bios battery and laptop battery are also attractive about the P750. If you were referring to the 17inch and not 15inch I apologize reading through all of the information in this thread gets confusing about 2 separate models.

    About the P775DM3, when the pc returned to me after a motherboard replacement, I've found it didn't boot up at first. Tech support suggested to check the RAM, as during transport they could have gone off their slots just enough to not work, and it happened before.

    I didn't had to remove the heatsink assembly to gain access to the slots under the keyboard. I just removed the screws (at the moment I don't remember if there was one screw or two) that secure the keyboard, and pushed it out with the screwdriver. Maybe you'll need to find a screwdriver thin enough that the heatsink does not interfer, but I didn't had any problems with it.

    I can't say anything about the 15'' model.

    Update on my P775DM3 from Avadirect. My order is still phase 2 out of 5 (Part allocation), order date was 2/13/2017. The good: they are prompt with their e-mails and have answered most of my questions. The bad: my order is in their stockroom waiting on parts (they didn't explain what they are waiting on) and it should ship out by March 7th. I am not going to make too much of a fuss, the price I paid for the machine is amazing and I can't wait to tame the temps on this beast.

    If you take a machine right out of the box and it has been cold outside it can have cold booting issues.

    Is there any possibility of 1080ti making it to the P775 and P870 chassis?

    I would love that as well, but 1080 i already pretty hot. Maybe if 1080ti is cooler it could be possible .

    Well for one thing, TI needs more power (!). I think a single card in 870 chassis would be doable but then again, I don't know how efficient is the cooling solution in that machine. In anycase, this is all academic. We don't even know if nVidia is going to release 1080Ti in MXM form factor (assuming it is nVidia which decides these things instead of manufacturers).

    Nvidia no longer makes reference designs for MXM. This is the main reason for all the drama earlier this year when the last generation Clevo's didn't have upgradable GPU's. The GPU reference designs fall on the ODM like Clevo and MSI now. I doubt Clevo or MSI will develop a GPU based off the 1080 TI, unless Pascal has a full refresh (1070 TI and etc). If price for the 1080 TI is going to be 700, then the laptop version is going to cost upwards to $1200 to 1300. That will put it in the same or higher price range as the Quadro and even Tesla. However, they did put in a 980 DT GPU into laptops last year, so it is possible.

    Well if they do end up offering the 1080ti, I'd be very tempted to upgrade to the KM1 series with a single Ti and the 4k screen.

    Hi! I'm a newbie, and lurking for a while deciding for a Clevo notebook.
    I'm having problems disabling tap to click with the latest synaptics touchpad driver 19.3.4.58. When I disable tap to click in the windows mouse settings it stays on even when it is switched off (and after rebooting, reinstalling etc.). I can't find a synaptics settings panel (if there is any?). With driver version 19.3.4.31 everything is fine, but I like the touchpad behaviour in the latest version for gaming. Any of you having this issue?

    I'm on a 751-dm2g with win 10 pro.

    Try Fn + F1. Does the trick on mine, should work on yours too.

    I tried, but this turns the touchpad off. I only want to disable the tap to click function. The 'Allow taps on touchpad' is turned off in the windows prefs, but tap to click functionality remains on.

    I thought you were struggling with turning off the touchpad. I was going to suggest changing the setting windows for that but it seems you have already tried and it didn't work. Well I am sure some one would pop by with a bit of helpful advice.

    Hey guys, I've been looking at the P775DM-3 and I'm wanting to know what the conciseness is on thermals. Does the CPU (7700K or 6700K) run excessively hot (90c+) like all the reviews seem to say it does? I don't want to spend almost $3K on laptop to have the CPU throttle on me and cook the GPU making it throttle also. I'm looking at HIDevolution to order from with their delid and undervolt service, which is awesome.

    Specs I'm looking at are 7700K delid, GTX1070, 16gb 2400, 250gb 960 evo, intel 8625, and the 4K panel (I want the 100% RGB color production, to me its more important than 120hz), I'd be tossing in a 1Tb 850evo since it's just sitting collecting dust right now lol. I'd also opt for the 30day dead pixel and color calibration.

    If I opt for memory to not be pre-installed, do I need to remove the entire motherboard in order to access the slots? Do you guys know if the 7700k benefits from higher clocked mem, and will this laptop support 3000mhz ram (specifically ripjaw 3000 16cas)?

    This is probly a noob question, but is there any discernible difference in Win10 home and Win10 pro? I love my Win7 but it seems that I must submit to microsoft for a new build.

    so just got my p775dm3-g up to snuff for the most part in terms of re-installing all my tools, utilities, and bits and bobs of software; but for some reason the cpu oc app from clevo keeps crashing as soon as i try to open it?
    anyone got any clues on this?

    in order:
    have not had any issues yet with it turning into enough of a space heater to start throttling either the cpu or gpu while running at stock clocks; have not run at the 4.7ghz oc during gaming yet as i have not had to.

    and the ports are very easy to access they are two sliding panels on the bottom of the shell that are held in by a few screws so no big to do to replace the ram, HDD or wifi cards.

    and win 10 home does limit or outright remove many useful utilities that are included in pro, but you can get a win 10 pro oem license off ebay for $20 which are completely legit oem keys and to satisfy the eula requirements of being with the included hardware they ship you an orignal dell Mobo but the mobo is a DOA but it satisfies the terms of the licence. (very clever loop hole in my opinion)
    so if you want to save some cash just grab the home key from hid (or no key if your confident in your abilities) and install it yourself

    Thanks for the reply Mechcondrid. I'm very confident in my abilities to perform any work on a PC, built 7 and OC'd all of them on custom water loops. But for this build I'm being super lazy and don't want to deal with the delid and stuff, engineering studies consume most of my life now days :(. So the ram slots are all on the bottom of the board then? That's a relief, I hate the laptops that make you disassemble the entire thing to get to the primary slots.

    I did some digging on the win10 thing, I need to have pro since I use bitlocker to secure my drives. I'll look into the eBay thing for a key, $140 for win10 pro is just outrageous.

    Do you know, or anyone else, if the P775 will support 3000mhz ram though?

    I needed to install memory in all 4 banks of my P750DM2-G, and after watching this Youtube video, (to be fair it's for a Clevo P750DM-G), I thought I would need to "pop" out the keyboard from below as well, (it's at around the 7.25 mark in the video).

    The process described in the video is that you need to remove the large part of the bottom case first. This is so you can remove the two keyboard screws there. (They're clearly marked with "KB", as shown in the video). Then the keyboard is popped out by applying pressure through the two KB screw holes.

    However, in my case, after removing the two KB screws, and after looking over the edges of the keyboard from the top, I discovered that all you need to do is to use a small screwdriver and unlock the tabs on 3 sides of the keyboard, (top, left and right), to easily remove it. No need to try and pop it out from below.

    (Apologies if my prior description of the process, which left out removing the bottom to access the two KB screws, confused anyone)

    Is it possible to remove the speaker grill and/or keyboard keys even if just for cleaning? Was wondering if the speaker grill is attached the same way the keyboard is, and the keyboard keys themselves seem more firmly attached than typical key cap.

    I will soon be moving to the 16L13 lounge, as the P775DM3-G Scan Carbon Extremely Hot has been processed for a refund. Scan are unable to offer 7700K delidding and I think the general consensus on here is that a 7700K in a P775DM3-G needs to be delidded, if you don't want a lap mounted kiln.

    Cyberpower UK were knocking out some 15.6" 7700K GTX1070 machines (Fangbook 4 Xtreme) with £410 off, so the ridiculous amount of money I have saved by not buying a P870KM1 is going on a 1080ti'd HTPC for our 4K TV.

    I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for all the help and info you provided during the brief ownership of my second and last Clevo (well. until they learn how to do heatsinks properly and unlock BIOS's)

    If you are using the current version of CCC, it installs XTU for its OC'ing ability. You need to uninstall CCC and just use XTU.

    I have tried to use TS but when it's running my sound start to stutter. With the same settings on XTU there's no issue.

    I'm stuck on why the sound stutters.

    Usually too much undervolt is what causes the stutters.


    EDIT:

    Requesting community help, read this, experimental Audio driver for P775DM3-G, if this works my app will manage to always serve the latest Realtek driver for any model.

    P775DM3 Order from Avadirect update:

    It is ready for shipping, so I expect it to be shipped very soon. The first thing I'm going to do is test the "out of box" temps, benchmark it some and then quickly delid the 7700K with LM and repaste the GPU with something better than the factory crap.

    If anyone wants me to do something special, let me know. I will likely have it by the end of the week.

    Anyone know what 4k panel is in the NP9152 (P750DM2)? My research seems to point to the Samsung LTN156FL02-101. However, I can't seem to find a solid confirmation on this. Has anyone in this forum ordered the P750DM2 with the 4k panel and taken a peek to see what the panel is?

    To be honest, I don't care what panel is in it. I just want to know if the motherboard has a 40pin EDP out on it. I know my current panel is 30pin but I am hoping its using a 40 to 30 pin edp cable; the LTN156FL02-101 uses a 40 pin edp according to panelook.

    (Anyone who's curious why I don't just look for myself - I am unable to find a certain screw that seems to be thwarting my attempts at complete disassembly. Stupid, I know. But, I seem to be entirely unable to find it.)

    The speaker grill is not attached like the keyboard, and it looks like it's part of the top part of the case. I couldn't see anyway of removing it that was obvious.

    Also I'm not sure how firmly attached the keyboard keys are, but with it removed, it would be fairly easy to clean, (if that's your goal), as a whole unit, because you could use compressed air from any angle to do so.

    Does any 1 have config P775DM3 with:
    7600K or 7700K + GTX 1070 and 2K 120Hz Display? I have possibility of selling my quiet P870DM1 (single 980M) and I'm thinking about P775DM3 with 1070 and QHD 120Hz.
    But I'm scared with one. Is P775DM3 with 1070 loud? How high max RPM does CPU & GPU fan have?

    And does QHD 120Hz have G-Sync?

    P775 might be a bit louder. It is not silent at max fans, but you don't need to ramp up the fans most of times :confused:

    Auto cools off well for most activities. Even for madVR on low settings.

    Fans with OC profile work well for most other stuff.

    I won't use OC profile. I found it far too loud, at least in P870DM (3,3k rpm is damn loud).

    How how CPU and GPU gets in P775DM under heavy gaming? ex. Witcher 3?
