M6600 Owners Thread

Assuming the drive is enabled in the bios, the first thing I would do is make sure you are not in the Dell Extended Battery Life power plan. It turns off everything it can to increase battery life. This included the optical drive.

 

Unfortunately, my PSU never quits charging battery during 100% load on CPU and GPU.
But depending on battery level - "charge rate" (current from PSU) is changing. And depending on baterry level - "GPU Clock" is changing from 400Mhz to nominal 680Mhz.

90% battery level is a kind of switcher for Ati GPU Clock during charging.

Bios updated to latest A07. Please look for these screens from HWinfo. I prepared it side by side for better viewing:



Any Idea? I tried change BIOS setting from Express charge->Standard charge. Didn't help. Still less GPU performance on PSU+Battery below 90%.

 

Has anyone tried to put a 3d screen in?

 

A 3D panel would require a different mobo revision.

 

No system board revision needed. You can use the LG 120Hz capable LP173WF2 panel for 3D operation. The M6600 will support it just like it does the LP173WF3 IPS panel. You will need the same video eDP/LVDS cable setup used with the IPS panel (not the easiest parts to get), a common USB based 3D IR emitter, and the matching active 3D glasses.

Does anyone have a link to the original Ultimate-N 6300 NIC drivers? I'm still getting crazy stuttering from the newer drivers.

 

Try version 14.2.0.10. I put it HERE.

Thank you! Do you have the wired drivers as well? I'm looking for the ones that were shipped at launch.

I've found quite a few posts from people with Lenovo's w/ the same NIC that are having these issues, and they were somewhat resolved w/ tweaking PROSet settings... but I didn't get the DPC latency until I installed new NIC drivers.

 

Why? Is there a missing connector or???

 

Actually, here is the original Dell 6300 driver: CLICK HERE

...and here is the LAN driver: CLICK HERE
