Hey everyone, i have recently ran 3dmark06 tests on my m1530 and i wanted to get some feedback on my scores and maybe some comparison to other systems. I'm currently triple booting windows 7 x64, vista ultimate x64, and windows xp x86. I use mooded drivers from laptopvideo2go on all the OS's but i don't remember which ones. All tests run at 1280 x 800
specs
t9300 c2d
4gb 667mHz ram
8600m gt 256mb - i think
personally made cheap cooler w/ fan running at 7.5 v - i think thats what it says on the power adapter, can be changed from 1.5-12v
Vista scores
no OC / default 475/702 - 4666
max gpu temp 69deg C
![]()
OC at 675/900 - 6127
max gpu temp 75 deg C

XP
OC at 600/800 - 5963
didnt record max temp
didnt get screen but have results

Well done to you! -
"personally made cheap cooler w/ fan running at 7.5 v - i think thats what it says on the power adapter, can be changed from 1.5-12v"
have you changed the stock heat sink and fan on the processor and nvidia chip? if so, how?
im quite interested in doing the same, but just looking for a slim line hs&f to fit into a laptop..
ps, sorry i dont have 3dmark scores yet. will post results when i do. -
no i havent replaced anything on my laptop as i have the accidental + warranty + lojack for another 3 and a half years. on my homemade cooler i just positioned the fan under the air intake on the top left
edit i ran 3dmark06 @ 1440x900 - 5757
has anyone ran 3dmarks at 1400x900? if so what are your scores? -
I've just recently bought an m1530 as I got one on a relatively good deal so finally plumped for one!
My specs are:
T8300
4GB ram
320Gb 7200rpm HD
Stock cooling except for 9cell battery.
My running temps have been pretty good under load & idle, was a bit worried with a lot of people talking about highish temps!.
I've been doing a few 3dmark benchies using the Basic edition (i'm assuming the stock settings are the same run in this case?) running at 1280 x 800. I have formatted with Vista and running forceware 179.28.
Complete stock settings I got 4868
I have bumped up the clock speeds to the same as benched in this thread 675/ 1350 / 900 ( haven't tried full clocking) and got 6349!
not sure if you can see from the screeny but temps are:
cpu max 60c
gpu 75c
been quite impressed so far!!! -
thats good
are you using vista 32 or 64 bit? and does harddrive speed have anything to do with a higher score?
-
ooh cool! I haven't really had anything to compare to know if good or not.....well I'm just using Vista 32bit atm. I dont think the hard drive speed has anything to do with the results, but I maybe wrong I wouldn't have thought so!
I did another test last night and pushed to 700 / 1400 / 925, and got 6506. I darent go any more heh. no display probs at all, and temps were good
cpu 61c max
gpu 76x max
-
700/925 wasnt really stable for me i tried a different driver on 675/900 i got 6314
