Sager NP8690 Surpassed 13,500 3dmark06

[Mandrake]

Sorry if I missed this but the NP8690 cannot be OC'ed in the bios but the NP8760 can? Is that a correct statement?

[Soviet Sunrise]

Yes, that statement is correct, Mandumb. The W870CU has the option to unlock up to 4x in BIOS for the 920XM while the W860CU can't.

Thanks my commie friend.

[Quicklite]

LOL...Mandrake

Has anyone picked up how the CPU shows up as i5 lol? I suppose its just a down-clocked lynnfield i7 with different socket afterall.

Edit: holy smoke... 1150?!?

[Soviet Sunrise]

The architecture of the Clarksfield i7's are indeed very similar to the Lynnfield i7's.

[kagey]

Holy Smoke is right... no pun there...

So you were competing against the Alienware and Asus users at your school with a Fujitsu?

Yes I am. They show off too much. I have to put them in there place. They cant touch this.

Nice job Suade! Just order a backup 280 and go for broke (or broken..).

Are you sure overclocking without overvolting can really damage your chip ? =/
(I mean if you keep your component cool too).

I have always ran o/c'ed CPU/GPU on desktop and never had a single problem, as I didn't play with overvolting too much
(and I'll never o/v anything in a notebook).

Well running a chip like this on a laptop is very unprecedented and you just never know what could happen next. Pushed beyond any other I have seen and yet I still think it has room to be pushed even further (but man I'm stopping here for now ). I am very anxious now to pull the gpu apart to give Soviet Sunrise the information on the memory chips he had asked for and maybe he can give us some daylight as to why this particular chip can be clocked so high. Nevertheless, the gpu on this thing is one heck of an overclocker!
