My EVGA RTX 3090 Kingpin scored OK in Port Royal, But it turns out it's just an average overclocker chip even after using chilled water with the LN2 520W vbios and the Classified tool.

Just another luck of the draw in the silicon lottery and so it's time to move on once again and possibly try to find a better binned chip, But I have my doubts about finding one.

There's a lot of ins and out with port royal. And most have a hard time with it to begin with. What did the core do by itself and what did the memory do by itself?

On a brighter note, I have found a good deal on one of my favorite Laptops that I have been looking for since my MSI GT83VR Titan motherboard failed.
I have sold that Laptop on Ebay and with the funds from that managed to obtain a SAGER NP9870-G in Excellent condition for a reasonable price, So now I'm very happy with that purchase.

 

A -G version?
What cpu/gpu/memory and nvme did it come with? And does it have a Prema bios on it?
How much did you get it for?

Here are the specs for the Sager NP9870-G as listed by the Seller. I bought it for $1375.00 shipped and it should be here this weekend.

Here is the first Port Royal bench at stock factory settings on GPU and Memory:

 Ah, okay. Nice find.

 does it have a Prema bios on it?

No, Just the stock Factory bios. I was reading a little about the Prema bios in the Notebook review Forums:
*** Official Clevo P870DM/Sager NP9870-G Owner's Lounge - Phoenix has arisen! *** | Page 986 | NotebookReview
 
But I may have to get it from Eurocom?
 

You won't be able to get it through them as some things have happen between the two. I think they deal with someone from the MSI forums or something like that.

Fixed the link (wasn't revealed).
 
As far as mods for the Sager go, There appears to be quite a few to choose from, But I think I will leave it as is for a while.
 

Leaving it as is wont allow it to run full speed..... Most of the time, but should be fine for normal use.

Yours is better than mine. Did 154xx on the xoc vbios.

This is true, I'll have to do a lot of research into exactly what mods are needed.
I see in your signature that your laptop has about every mod possible.......Got any suggestions (maybe even have some spare parts ) where to start, John?
 
EDIT: Can I get a prema bios from this website?
https://www.techinferno.c...km-dm-and-p6p4-series/
 
 

No. Only from a Prema partner unfortunately. Lots of drama with people stealing work and trying to pass it off as their own.
 
I just sold my last GTX 1080 the other day. It's on it's way to Canada as we speak. the guy thinks he may have burnt out his 1080 so he bought my last one. I have a RTX 2080 in there right now. Just waiting on the 3080's to come out and i'll throw that in there or I may sell this and get the next machine up. still on the fence....

Well, I don't think I'm even going to try the xoc vbios and push the chip too hard.
 
Besides that, I'm looking ahead more with playing with my SAGER NP9870-G Laptop and see what is possible with it.

Ohhh I’m looking forward to this you Frankensteining a Sager laptop into something crazy looking that OC’s like mad with cold steam/vapors rising from it. -.-

Ahhh, The Dry Ice Method!

Yep! that would have way to many pots to be trying to monitor. And easier to check for condensation.
