x8100 with 485m weird problem it works but 2 beeps are reboot

In my case, with one GTX580M OC (OV), the maximum power consumption during 3DMark Vantage test is over 220 Watts.

[lzykocp1002]

what is your laptops rated TDP, as for the p180hm it's going to be 220 watt's as well, same power adapter and everything, i'm just hoping the bios recognizes the card(it should), and what i really hope is that my HEAT related issues are done,

[bonnie.clyde]

My AC adapter has a 180 watts of rated power. But it can provide for few seconds a little more (220).

you ran vantage and hit 220 of the wall? with a voltage meter? how long did you run the test and did you crash or shutdown at some point? what temps btw

[bonnie.clyde]

220 watts is the maximum value, attained by only a few seconds during the test 3DMark Ventage with OC 800/2000. For 3DMark11 maximum input power is much lower (180 watts) and allows for up OC to 860/2000.
The maximum temperature does not exceed 89 C

thats good for stress testing temperatures in a "laptop", but your overclocking so that affects your wattage, nether the less i strongly believe 220 watts is adequate, almost certain at this point. Now to await for a p180hm motherboard ....

The reason for this is that the adapter can OUTPUT 180W. There is some loss in the AC -> DC conversion so even with an 80% efficiency that would be 225W drawn from the wall.

hmm, heres to hoping the p180hm has the mentioned 130w MXM 3.0 slots. I can't imagine they would develop a new model that still had this issue.

but we Chinese simply think it's a trick of CLEVO

they fear about the GPU card upgraded by yourself on the older type of their notebooks.

so bios/ec or some other things maybe wrong ?

860 could upgrade to 6970m(es , equal to 6990m) but gtx560m will meet a black screen

that's all , we also Helpless but an amd card will solve this problem .

please upgrade to 6990m-crossfire-X and everything will be fine .

well i have reached my limit off evaluation, why because i've already posted before that i'm having heat problems, as far as i can tell the 485m works flawlessly with modded .inf drivers i made, as for SLI, i see the problem and possible solutions but i can not do any of these at the moment because this damn motherboard is really cooking me up to 95c then cutting off around there.

I'm waiting for a p180hm and i'll conduct tests,

Off the bat i'd say it's very possible to run 485m/580m in sli with a 220watt, however i can't confirm, you have to take into consideration that a x7200 cpu has about 85 more watts of power consumption then a 45 watt mobile cpu, and considering it uses 300watt psu, it seems very plausible and i highly doubt the x7200 hits 300 watt threshold unless running a hexacore, i WONDER how many systems will start dropping down if people in here put x8100 and x7200 laptops in basic 24/7 stressing tests. o well, time to play waiting game ;x

lzykocp1002,

Did you ever get the 485 working well with both ram sticks installed? I've got a x8100 I'm trying to get working with a 580m, and I have the exact same symptoms (two beeps at boot, no video). Unfortunately, I don't have a 2Gb stick of SODIMM to try- just two 4GB.

Regards,

Jared

It's the NVRAM that is getting corrupted because of values not properly written after first shutdown...the easy way to workaround would be to detach the cmos battery for good...
as for the SLI, it is something that has to be present in the BIOS for that specific card, so it properly reports to the OS...
