M17/Ocz Whitebook Quad Problems

if dell is watching then maybe they should hope in. i don't want this thread to get closed that is why i haven't said anything. but they should help trouble. at least act like a normal person and make a new account and see what they can come up with. i am not going to say any more because i like how this thread has grown and the amount of people that is putting in an afford to solve this problem.


but hellcry the is understandable. we will wait for your drivers.

halogod since you say it is a voltage problem. can try the alienware bios and the others that you have and tell us if there is an improvement. and did you run farcry2 yet?

sneaky. PM'D

 

well everything is fixed!!! a new laptop is coming out lol JK....
where can i get the thermal pads for the m17 gpu memory banks? anyone know?

 

will be home a couple of minutes. i will send links when i get there if someone doesn't do that already.

 

links would be great

that is the name brand i am looking for a better well known site.

zfactor what do you think about this? or do you recommend the pad.

 

u have to use a pad on the memory banks otherwise there will be a gap between the heatsink and the memory banks if u use paste....i tried it paste on the gpu memory and there was a gap.....

zfactor what else needs a pad...does the chipset also?

 

the north brigde needs one. the gap for that is pretty big.

 

what about the chipset chip near the cpu...i used paste on that one

 

i'm lost right now as to where you are talking about. i am a visual person. can you show me which one and where

no i heard that you are suppose to only use a pad on it. btw mines is in 3 different pieces so i have to order some also.

will this work?

 

doing some research on it to see if anyone have used this and what is there results.

 

what if you bridged the GPU heat sinks to the cpu heat sink..... like run from the copper pipe to the cpu heat sink...

or split the gpu heat sinks and squeeze in some fans

sorry i thread jacked

i ment for better heat management

 

alright let me know....i took the pad off that chip and used paste but only half the chip die is covered meaning the heatsink for that chip only covers half the chip die....wth????? thats what are issue probably is

 

lmao and you wonder why it over heats :smile:

 

yeah i think you need to get a pad asap. it should come off and it shouldn't be holding on nothing. can you post your temps. also can you run something to see how hot it gets.

i am not seeing good reviews on it. but i am still searching. i only read 3.

 

ok..but yeah even with a pad...its bad that the little flat surface on the heatsink for the chipset barely covers the entire chipset die.....im going to run 3dmark06 and post max temps on everything

 

great i will do the same.

mr moo can you do the same. just to see how far your temps are from halogod's chipset. i will also do the same.

 

run 3d mark and thats it ?

 

yep and post your temps.

 

my temps of not the same as usally. my NB is suppose to be 2 degrees higher. Idk i can run more test. if needed.

 

mmmmmmmmmmm interesting. you nb is kind warm mr moo.
and how come your gpu's are even. mines is never even no matter what. even with my t9400.

 

lol i unno i can't read its mind
ill run again maybe i need to clean my note book
hold on

 

if we can read our noteboooks mind i think there wouldnt be that much computer techs. Lol.

 

mine is


max temps during 3dmark06

tz00: 88c
core1:97c
core2:96c
core3:93c
core4:90c

GPU1:85
GPU2:81

 

are you serious halogod???????????
that's dangerous. you cpu will fail.

umm ok let see. give me a minute.

 

I HAVEN'T DRILLED MINE OR TOOK THE BLACK COVERS OFF sorry bout caps

 

i need some good thermal paste and some good thermal pads badly...i want to order both from newegg tonight

 

yeah that's not even prime. what clock are you?

can you run stock at 2.53ghz and tell us your settings. i recommend applying paste on your cpu again. what is your room temp right now is it burning hot?

do you have any paste with you right now. just put a dot on the cpu die and spread it. it doesn't need a lot it will leak out on the mobo if there is to much added.


what is your idle?

 

im at 3.06ghz....and im all out of paste....i idle in the mid to upper 40's my room is a little warm like 76F cuz of my computers

i want to order thermal paste and pads tonight....i want to know the best paste i can buy for my cpu and gpu

 

get this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835202006
it is mx2. also i would go to radioshack and get as5. that is what i have. just use that for now. the gpu's

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
this is what i use for my cpu right now.

hellcry recommended this
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/r...terface_Material-Page1.html?id=YoSEPoQ9#blank

 

ok i will get some as5 and use it on both the gpu and cpu....now what about pads

 

Good mornin guys.. My max nb temp is 82C.. As i see it your nb temps depends on your cpu temps.. the cpu actually heats the nb so i cant wait to get that heatsink to make my mod..
And HaloGod - buy arctic cooling mx-2 i highly recommend it.. as for the thermal pads i dont have any recommendations.. and i use thermal paste on my northbridge and its covered fully by the heatsink.
Will be back when i get the drivers uploaded.

 

no don't get as5 for the gpu. sorry if i am confusing you.
get mx2 for the gpu's and
as5 for the cpu
as5 has silver in it so it can short out the gpu if it is placed on the wrong stop and the pad that i show you first is the best it starts with a s

 

took the bottom off and my score jumped 600 wt heck

 

3dmark06 is confusing. so if i freeze myself with an aircondition and take off my back. and overclock my gpus and cpus then driver tweak it. i can break records?

 

ok im buying this for GPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186020&Tpk=thermal paste mx-2

this for cpu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

and this for north and south bridge and gpu memory banks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835230030



how does this all look?

 

i was running complete stock no OC ....

 

i agree on the 1st two. but no the pad. i didn't fine anything good about it. at least on gpu. all i see if cpu reviews.

 

well the pad will only be for the memory banks and NB and SB

 

run ur notebook with this and no more cooling problem

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Desktop-Air-Conditioner/880370/product.html

 

i just found some as5 in my room.....so should i apply it to the northbridge also then? im going to do the card technique with the as5 on each core die for the cpu

 

idk about the north bridge but yes about the cpu.

 

ok im gonna do that now...im thinking of just shoving a penny on the NB between the heatsink lol

 

not a good idea unless you polish it and its before they started makeing pennys with an alloy

 

ill be back later....im going under the hood and taking apart cpu and gpu and redoing everything all over...if i dont post back later that means i screwed something up lmao

 

Lol i thought of the samething.


gorn morning hellcry. it is 148am over here. i wish you were in our timezone. have to go to sleep now. i have to wake up ealry for school and i am buying a car so i have to check it outin the morning to. i will read and review everything after and post.
