I read some of the article on the Internet that M17x R3 has a HDMI input. Is that true ?

Hey Hans. I'm getting this issue whereby my stock clocks from the normal 680/900 drops to 2d clocks of 400/900. I did a benchmark with kelvin-hata and the results with the stock clocks when working fine and the current drop in clock speed is almost 40% less. Do you encounter this? I encountered it this morning when turning on the laptop with the new GPU in after toying with it whole night last night with Kelvin-hata's hands on working on it.

BTW, Thanks a lot Kelvin. Sorry to trouble you pulling you from PJ and staying up at ur place.... lols

Yeah man. I'm trying to prolong the life of my system.
Thanks for sharing knowledge and helping solve the initial installation issues regarding the 6970M.
Hope to run proper test regarding the clock issues later tonight. Out now... so cannot check...

yeah my browser also same~

Oops
Bad info lol~

anyway what u try to tell ur default clock is 400/900 instead of 680/900?

Guys...I need some help with my m11x r1, fan full of dust. What is the safest way to clean it? I know there is a help section for m17x but isn't m11x different..and tips or tutorials on what to do?

Vacuum it ?
Best if can do total disassemble and directly clean the fan.

No more warranty ?

Use a can of air blower to blow off the dust. I just clean up mine last few days. Repasted and clean the dust that stuck in the fan chamber area that covers between the heatsink fin and fan. Temperatures never exceed 78 degree Celsius for cpu while gpu stays relatively cool at 62 degree Celsius when playing black ops [non AC room]. I can help you do it if you want.

I didn't try 3dmark 06 but my 3d mark vantage score on stock clocks of 680/900 was about P11,800+ score .

Mine is running the Driver downloaded for M15x which is Catalyst 11.8. How about you? Did you download the M17x driver or the M15x one?
Im using HWInfo and GPUz.

ic,im using modded 11.7 drivers. but first i install the default driver of m17x r3 and then upgrade to modded 11.7. anyway there is driver 6970m for m15x? i thought dell didnt approve 6970m for m15x?

so ur default clock is 680/900? so i think it should be normal right. sometime the gpu did underclock when in idle mode but started to blast at full speed in graphic intense apps. but my gc never downclock to 400/900 automatically.
what bout your temp ? i think in my case im struggling to keep the gc cool enough hehe.sumtime reach 95 huhu if not enough gap between laptop and desk.different situation from our previous 260m. 460m etc.
so do u plan to oc?

Well I downloaded the Catalyst from the forums recommended by the US Alienites. I think I might have corrected my problem. I downloaded the newest version of HWInfo and the stock clocks are back to normal and never throttle down to 400/900 anymore. Temps from benchmarking have been good so far. Running PC-Mark Vantage on stock clocks had a max temp of 79c but have yet to try full ON 2 hour gaming on crysis 2. Will update you that later.
Anyway I attached a screenshot of the benchmark scores and the temps for you to compare. If temps stay down like around the mid 80s max I should thank Kelvin-Hata for his over emphasis on the thermal pads and being generous in bringing some extra high grade pads for me to cover almost the entire card///

What GC can m17x-R1 support? Mr.Doc?
Thinking to change.. lazy for research.. lol

The lat time Doc mentioned, the R-1 is limited in updating to the newer 6000 series cards. As far as I know, only the M17x-r2 is capable of taking these newer cards with the possibility of 2 2GB Gpus at a time, of course with the help of dual PSU's running parallel into the system... (Kelvin-Hata)

OMFG... so only can stick to my GTX280 SLI?

Dont take my word for it ok? Maybe we wait for the experts on this. I'm just saying there is a possibility you can't upgrade cos Doc was telling me his unit can't.....

Im not sure if GTX 285M works?

Yea. no more warranty..yeah i was planning on disassembling...but i was figuring out if there was other ways to do it..and I dont have a vacumn


Wow thats a nice offer but if its a possible DIY job I would like to learn to do so that can do monthly/yearly maintance...just have a question do you full disassemble it or do you just remove the top cover/ battery / hard drive then spray?
