Notebook overclocking is good for your nerves, very relaxing :) I recommend this to anyone who feels stressed about overclocking.
Pretty amazed by the thermal solution of this notebook, almost 4GHz (!) with a quad-core cpu, just standing there on the desk.
The Mobility 4870X2 is running at 600MHz gpu and 1800MHz memory clocks.

Very cool! :-) very good for nerves.., i might try that.. :-)
thanks for posting, thats certianly not bad ...
its been a while since, Dino benched some Sonys ...
what tempratures did the cpu / vga had respectively, if noticed?...
damn! :eek: :shocked:
20k on a notebook it's really impressive!
congrats m8,
keep up the good work! :clap:
.::NeO::.
Awesome, interested to know about the temps as well on a system like that.

thats some great results..the cpu score is on par with mine at 4.4ghz..oh man..
I just did open it up to have a look :) Looks like it will be easy to cool it with liquid nitrogen too :DQuote:

Great notebook result :up:
Indeed I am :DQuote:

That's really impressive for a notebook on air/stock cooling.
Does this mean you will actually be running LN2 on it? ;)Quote:

dont forget GPUs under LN2 too! :D
:eek::eek::eek:.....20k 2k6 by laptop !!! amazing notebook from ASUS :up:
wanna to see sub-zero OC :D
Holy sh|t!
:D
thx for information , keep pushing it
Oh yeah, its real deal.:up:
Its time to handpick some laptop:D
So that's what you've been doing. Get your ass to the phone and call me about your dewar, Marcus. :)
Also... Does the laptop fit into the Price/Performance category in the Swedish computer performance championships? :P
I don't post much here anymore, but things like this certainly make me miss it from time to time.
You're :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing hardcore Marcus ! :D:clap: That's why I love ya ;)

OC'ing lappys seems like one of the funnest things :D
I know this is probably a little too obvious, but can you use BIOS to OC CPU or Windows program? What about GPU? Rivatuner ok?
It is indeed really nice benching laptops, as soon as they have overclocking features via bios though :p Or anyway, a way to o/c them :D For example I can not o/c my laptop,
'cause there are NO options in bios, can't work clockgen neither ... tried everything :(
Anyway, great stuff Kinc :clap: Now put it under LN2 ! :cool: :up:
crazy guy and score.!!!
a notebook 20k 06.. !!! Great!
when LN2? :D
That is really impressive!
I am speakless... :shocked:
Nice work! Do you expect any coldbugs with the cpu? Would be a nice thing to do with my old laptop, to bad ln2 is really expensive in Sweden. :(
Nice work Marcus! :up:
ps: send me a pm if you want the DVD, ZeroG flight from vegas..
What the hell. How is that even possible? Speechless! :eek:
how is that even possible?
Today i officially announce that it's a shame a desktop whatever
what conditions under 30k on 3Dmark06. :ROTF:
just kidding but great work from Asus and Ati :clap:, but i'm wondering
how they're going to manage the power consumptions and heat?
cheers
Oh my, its time to replace mt old ASUS G1S with this bad boy!
Kinc: Do you have any bios shots?

Here is what the thermal solution looks like:
very nice! how much does it weigh and hows the battery life when gaming and when just surfing?
thx for posting Markus , its sure a sick solution...
looking fwd to ln2 numbers :D
Now this is a howl!:rofl::up:
INSANE...:D
Now, the notebook is allready open, but some LN2-pots on it...:D
Here is OUR full review > http://pctuning.tyden.cz/index.php?o...2658&Itemid=84
in Czech lang, but pictures dont need a translation ...
It looks like a 4870 mobile Crossfire, this would explain the X38 chipset. :DQuote:

That's indeed some crazy clocks and results for a laptop. Thanks for sharing! :up:
I have one question though, which CPU is used exactly, is it an ES?
In your picture it's a "Intel Mobile Core 2 Quad T9400" with a multi of 9.5, while below it states it's a Q9300. In OBR's review it's a T9600 dual core with a multi of 10.5, just like dual cores are referred to as "T" models, quads as "Q". Which one will be used for release version? Can you post a screenshot with CPU-Z 1.50? Sorry for all the questions... :)
THat is flippin' amazing. I have a locked bios on my lappy too.:(
Kinc made it on the inquirer
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...eon-hd-4870-x2
special mention of you bro!
Keep up the awesome work!
Didn't see him mentioning he's going to run it on LN2, but well... It's the Inq.

Thank you all for your kind comments. LN2 is the next step here, gonna give it a try any day now :)
The nicest thing you would ever want from a laptop =)
This is truly amazing. Only 230W PSU needed to power a 4870x2 and a quadcore! Just make you think how inefficient the desktop vid card is.

ASUS says these lock-up's are due to the ATI 4870 (8.551.2.0) drivers, and the TurboGear VGA driver, and to date there is no resolution. ASUS continues to promise new drivers, but patience has worn thin with most folks. As of late, ASUS Notebook Tech Support now states there may be a hardware issue.... ??? (unspecified)
Since you are with ASUS Marketing, I was thinking the drivers on your featured W90VP were perhaps different.....???
Anyhow, I was wondering if you could help us out with any advice and guidance. Also, I was wonder which version ATI driver you were using, or if they are modded drivers. Additionally, the TurboGear info would be helpful as well. Did you have the TurboGear VGA driver uninstalled? Also, any driver links that could be provided would be SUPER, as the posted ASUS drivers on their site appear to be no help.
Also, the W90Vp-X1 was marketed, advertised, and released, as providing the "ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4870, 1024MB of GDDR3". With regard to the graphics solution, I was wondering if you could answer the following questions:
1.) In the W90VP that you feature here, were you using the SAME 4870's as specified above?
2.) Have the 4870 graphics cards of the W90Vp-X1, been passed through ATI's certification program?
3.) Do these same cards use separate master and slave bios, and if so, are the bios available for download?
4.) Can you please provide me the specific clocks of the W90Vp-X1 cards, and is the speed information from GPU-Z, actually being downclocked by TurboGear..... as with the system memory?
5.) Will switching the two 4870 cards within the W90Vp-X1, one for the other, void my warranty?
Any information you could please pass on, I would be exceedingly grateful.
Thank you & Best Regards!:)
-=$tr|k3r=- you are right... i have e seen many MANY people with w90 and trying to get 20k and the maximum is like 17.x ... i think the difference is that kinc had his cpu(qx9300) @ 3.9... i still dont get it how cold he get it so high with no problem, normally it wont get higher that 3.4 in a w90...
please kinc tell use:
what was yor, drivers vga, bios vga, bios laptop, etc... like me many people wold buy a w90 if they cold get 20k with it ... but with no solution like ther is non at the moment, like me many will buy a m17x with 280m sli
bguards m8's
Let me know if you eventually get through to Asus.. they had a rep here but he's gone silent...Quote:

I wonder what is the battery life? don`t think this kind of system can be powered for long by some lithium batteries.
...jävlar:D
Ln2 next..
I'll be interested to see how LN2 would be applied to a notebook...Quote:

There were issues overclocking the GPUs with overdrive (it wouldn't overclock and thus give the same vantage scores), so they had to use GPU tool from techpowerup to get them to overclock. Nonetheless, it hits 11k+ GPU score easily once the GPUs are overclocked.Quote:

Yeah his score is higher then everyone elses - im only getting 3ghz out of my qx9300. I hit 11.4k for the gpu test in vantage at 600/900.
Man I am thoroughly jealous of that Chipset - it makes overclocking the CPU a joke! I was able to beat this score but it took boosting the voltage on my CPU to 1.4V Unfortunately I have to deal with a limiting BIOS
And oh ya, I did this on a consumer sample not a cherry picked specially engineered one for marketing :D
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alie...ml#post6433958
Nice man something different, Should try the asus g73!
QX9300 @ 4166MHz
Mobility 4870 X2 @ 687/1118
vantage benched
http://forum.notebookreview.com/6453919-post3737.html
Well I was trying to keep it to 06 since that is what the thread was originally about, but ya, I did that too :)Quote:

And we might as well update my 06 score too.....I broke 22k :D More info can be found in the link in my sig in the post that is linked above (sorry it is so convoluted lol)
It's more powerful than my desktop...
Pretty impressive!
How much for a beast like that?
:)
The W90 or the M17x? The W90 is discontinued and kind of hard to get a hold of. The M17x is currently orderable from Dell with the top of the line mobile i7 extreme cpu and crossfire 5870m cards. Those have been pushed past 23k in 06 and are right at P18k in Vantage
