G51vx-Rx05 with X9100

hey

this might've been answered already. I know it doesn't take the QUad Core CPus. Can this Laptop take the Core 2 Extreme Series? like the X9100?

 

Yes.

/thread.

 

Just make sure you use decent thermal paste or you'll have yourself one hot potato...

 

DID SOMEONE SAY POTATO!? If you shove a X9100 in there then you'll have yourself one sweet potato.

 

thanks alot for the quick replies!! What are the top thermal Compounds? Beside Arctic Silver 5, or is that adequate enough?

 

I think he's referencing to this thread. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=407012

 

Get a T9900 it's the same as the X9100 and you can get it much cheaper.
And the X9100 TDP 44W T9900 is 35W which would make your CPU to run cooler.

 

thanks alot I appreciate it, is there much of a performance difference between the x9100 and the t9900?? sorry I haven't been keeping up with the whole Dual Core Technology, so I'm slacking, but trying to get back in this, thanks alot for the help though!

 

there is no performance difference. the X9100 just has unlocked multipliers, which is useless as the G51's bios cannot make use of those multipliers.

 

What about the P series? the difference is FSB which is 1066 on the series and 800mhz on the T series and also wattage, THe DDR2 RAM is at 800Mhz anyways, right? SO it is sensible to just get the T series, actually the T9900's are at the same $499.00 price range. thats crazy, but it is for the performance, i may just go lower if it's worth it, maybe to 2.8GHZ.

 

What all will you be doing with the CPU? if you're just going to be doing gaming I'd just get the X3A from newegg. you'll get a better warranty, and you'll not need to change the CPU yourself. it'd save you a fair bit of money and its easily OC'able (in my personal experience) to 2.8-3.0GHz

 

it's just gaming, yeah it's to late, i already had the Best Buy Version since July, afterwards I went through these forums and found out about the original G51vx and all the other Variants. I mean right now it's ok, but I know the one bottleneck I have is the CPU, 2.00GHZ can't cut it for all the current, most of them yes, but some with max setting such as Prototype at Native Res or on 1920x1080 on external LCD of course, slows down, unless I overclock to 2.40ghz, yes i get a pretty decent jump in Performance overall, smoother gameplay. the requirements for that game however was 2.50ghz and higher. thats why i was thinking to just upgrade the CPU to at least 2.8, since It's kinda late to switch to the a1 and other variants. since I can't go for the i7's or at least Quad Core with the rx05 version, i might as well max out the CPU, so it would handle any game that comes out now until a long time for now. Like I said though, alot of great games runs just fine at 2.00 GHZ.

 

I also DJ with this, but that doesn't require much power anyways! the main reason i got it for is gaming, Trying to get back into the PC gaming. ANd out of the COnsole gaming, which I em NOW

 

Welcome back to real gaming, djfresh82. You should play with us some time.

 

the link doesn't work

 

If you already own a G51VX, and just wanna upgrade the CPU, then just go with T9900/P9700, i thought the T would be a net a lot higher temps than the P, but its not been my case (some say it would on load, but hasnt been my case either), but just to be sure you could go with P9700 although it not easy to get, mostly ebay cpu atm, but the T9900 seems a really nice CPU, and there was an offer some days ago going very cheap, T9900 $340.

 

thankx alot for the link, that helps alot

 

Sorry for that my stupid connection cut and got messed up but yeah it was to HP store and had the T9900 for this here .
FN connection is acting wierd tonight best I can do
No link but you can call the phone number and order if you want one

 

Do they have any 920XM's for under $600?

 

Where's Forge when you need him >.>...
He popped a X9100 in his G551VX first day !

 

Not first day. After like three weeks though, after I found out that I was SOL with my QX9300.



Psst. DJfresh. PM sent.

 

Can't find any 920XM's but you can find i7 Q820 for a little more than $350 on Ebay.

 

That's okay. I already scored a sweet deal with a friend of mine for a $600 OEM 920XM and I was asking to see if there are any 920XM's lower than $600 before I buy it from him.

 

I swear Soviet must be part Filipino.

 

I'm all Siberian Russian, (atleast I wish I were). Russians know how to make the best deals. Southeast Asians barter for cooked duck and bootleg DVD's. Russians hunt for bargain plutonium to put in their portable nuclear RPG's.

 

I have cousins who could see Eskimos a freezer.

 

Now I know why you call yourself Soviet Sunrise!
It's gonna be a cold winter.
