Description
The Clevo D900F is the successor to the Clevo D901C. Appearance-wise, the laptop hasn't been changed significantly, but the laptop uses all new parts inside that make it drastically different from the D901C. Except for panels, displays, keyboards, and other random exterior accessories, most hardware parts inside the machine are not interchangeable with the D901C and D900C, despite the two looking completely the same.

The D900F uses the completely new Nehalem microarchitecture, sporting the X58 server and enthusiast-grade chipset, and LGA 1366 socket. Any CPU that fits in the LGA 1366 CPU socket will work in the D900F. The processor generally shipped with the D900F includes the Intel Core i7 processor, however many Intel Xeon workstation processors will also work in the machine. The new socket and chipset allows the computer to utilize Dual-core, Quad-Core, even Hex-Core power with Hyperthreading on each physical core, if the processor supports it. Unlike the D900C, the laptop's design doesn't accommodate two video card slots, meaning the design can't support SLI configurations. However, the laptop uses the updated Revision 3 MXM video card slot, allowing the use of far more powerful video cards. It also allowed the laptop to be extremely upgradeable.

CPUs Tried in the machine
This is a list of various Intel i7 and Xeon CPUs tried in the D900F, and a diagnosis on their level of operational success with the cooling and other factors.

Intel Core i7-920
2.66 GHz, 2.93 GHz Turbo, 4 Cores with HT, 130W TDP, 45nm. Runs 100% Reliably with 30 minute CPU stress testing. Levels off at 75-80C.

Intel Core i7-950
3.06 GHz, 3.33 GHz Turbo, 4 Cores with HT, 130W TDP, 45nm. Runs 100% Reliably with 30 minute CPU stress testing. Levels off at 75-80C.

Intel Xeon W3503
2.40 GHz, 2 Cores, 130W TDP, 45nm. Runs 100% Reliably with 30 minute CPU stress testing. Levels off at 70-75C.

Intel Xeon W3570
3.20 GHz, 3.46 GHz Turbo, 4 Cores with HT, 130W TDP, 45nm. Slight chance of automatic shutdown due to high Temperature. Full Stress Tests for longer than 5 minutes usually provoke a overheating shut down. Levels off at 85C.

Intel Xeon E5520
2.26 GHz, 2.53 GHz Turbo, 4 Cores with HT, 80W TDP, 45nm. Runs 100% Reliably with 30 minute CPU stress testing. Levels off at 75-80C. Lower TDP results in lower power consumption.

Intel Xeon W3680
3.33 GHz, 3.60 GHz Turbo, 6 Cores with HT, 130W TDP, 32nm. No problems with stress tests. Using Arctic Silver 7 thermal compound, temperatures never seem to go above 70C. Newest BIOS installed.

Intel Xeon W3690
3.47 GHz, 3.73 GHz Turbo, 6 Cores with HT, 130W TDP, 32nm. Runs 24/7 doing work for IBM World Community Grid. Using Cool Laboratory Liquid Ultra thermal compound, temperatures average 75C under 50% CPU load, max 83C under 100% load with an ambient temperature of 26C. Latest BIOS installed.
