    Hi i usually play cs go with it, im getting mostly 160 fps with my performance settings but it drops to 40 fps in game for example in flash or in a smoke. Im kinda lazy to sell this on ebay and get g75 but i can pay enough money to make my cpu a beast , graphic cards or gpu ssd cards as well. I have already ordered my benq x2420t 120hz monitor, i was wondering what are the best hardwares in the market that i can buy and make g74 like beast. any suggestions?

    Have you tried overclocking and tweaking what you already have?

    Hi, so i have 2670 qm 2.2 ghz and i bought i7-2860QM SR02X 2.5ghz 3.6 turbo boost. I thought and assumed i was going to get little bit more performance out of my laptop but after i teared it down and put the new cpu, I could feel my laptop was working louder and faster than ever. I did bios update, it didnt work. I was getting 160 fps with 2.2 ghz 3.0 and with 2.5 ghz now i was seeing 120 and fps was getting dropped every second. I thought it wasnt suitable for my specs in the laptop so i wanted to put 2.2 back in to see whats gonna happen, after plugging 2.2ghz now i was seeing worse than ever like 90 fps in game.

    So what i did wrong I have no idea ? Do i needed to put liquid on cpu or i needed to format my laptop after cpu change or is there a way to add the turbo function, from intel that i dunno...

    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLZ :(( my comp restarts when i try shut down i dunno registry files even got messed up , my cpu gets hot no reason too so i m getting 60 90 fps in game, i still have the 2.2 ghz in the laptop

    You should try and keep your posts to a single thread so they are easy to track.
