7150M EVGA Precision holds overclock for 1 second!

I tried Powerstrip, nvidia system tools, and EVGA precision. They all work but don't hold the overclock for more than a couple seconds. I disabled Powermizer in the Registry. Running windows 7 x64 and 179.48 drivers.

What should I do?

Anyway to just flash new bios for this graphic card? I just want to under volt the 2d clock and overclock the 3d clock. As well as a possibly over volt the 3d clock.

PS - Don't post to tell me not to bother with this 7150M, I don't care! I want to do it anyway!

Everythings running super cool. GPU at 55*C and CPU at like 49*C While in game. Idle gpu is at 39*C and CPU at 23*C.

HP PAVILION DV2615NR

THANKS

 

it is an integrated card, so is it possible to overclock it?

 

The card is a ticking bomb... OCing it will only expedite its failure.

 

Why would you say that? Why do you think electronics like computer parts fail?

Heat. Heat is what causes failures. As long as you can keep it cool, it'll last forever.

There's no damn chance this chip is going to fail at 55*C when originally this laptop would allow for it to run at 80*C at idle and 90*C+ in game. Another thing is the only reason why electronics go out is not only heat but in fact the temperature at which the solder used for the chip melts. Lead or Lead free, they both melt at different temps. Once the solder under the chip melts, the chip will fail.

Please do your research before posting stupid comments like that buddy.

AND, Yes this should be overclockable. A lot of other people have done it successfully. I must be doing something wrong.

**The problem is actually the driver forcing it back to stock clocks. We just need to tell the driver to back off and allow the software to do what it does best.

I'm not 100% sure yet but this should fix the issue. yay!

yeah that guy isn't the brightest but his powerstrip idea might be right.

 

i had same trouble with my 3650, wasnt able to overclock it while others were, but maybe just because i dont know what i am doing

 

Is it possible to overclock IGPs?
And are IGPs really designed to handle extra heat? Sceptical...

 

Please do your research before posting.

Maybe you should look into the massive lawsuit that was filed against Nvidia.;




FYI I'm an EET...

 

Yes, please read below.

It's not Nvidia's fault. It's actually HP's fault. They design crappy laptops. The chip is soldered to the board with the same balls that the xbox 360 uses. These balls melt when they get hot. back in the day lead solder could handle huge temps before failing. These days they don't use lead. They use lead free solder which melts at a much lower temperature than the lead did. When HP built their DV9000's etc the vent under the fan prevented the laptop from cooling properly. Which in turn caused the nvidia lead free solder to melt. This occurs at high temperatures. This is why HP isn't around any more. They're complete idiots.

What you have to do is mod your laptop vent to be completely open so the fan can breathe. Therefore keeping the chip cool. There's not a whole lot of complexity to the matter. Yeah, I did my research bud.

The same problem applies to my dv2615nr. I used a soldering iron to remove a square shape plastic where the fan was to allow it to breath. The cpu and gpu dropped about 50*C after doing this.

About my 7150M, I have now been able to get it to 555Mhz from 425Mhz. Now Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is playable! about 25fps compared to 9fps. I'm happy. Max temps are at 65*C. Which is far from anything to be concerned about.

Always remember to use EVGA Precision to monior your gpu temps in game via the OSD. Also don't forget to use AIDA64 to monitor cpu, northbridge temps on the OSD on your desktop.

Oh yeah what's an EET? Some kind of Engineer?

Regarding the above photo. This same thing would have to be done to any overheating laptop. It fixes all HP laptop's everytime. I have done the same to several brand new Acer, Dell, Gateway, eMachine, as well as other laptop brands. All Except ASUS. ASUS always provides the pinnacle of superior cooling. They go all out every time, and they always succeed.

 

1. Lead free melts at a higher temp.
2. All nvidia cards from that era are defective.
3. The solder is not the problem, they left out a few crucial layers on the processes.
4. The solder is not the issue with the 360, it is the way the heatsink attaches.
5. Hp is doing as well as any other company.
6. Asus has had their share of junk laptops as well.

Are you trying to troll?

 

Coming in here and dumping all over the people who participate in your thread probably isn't the best strategy to obtain help with your problem.

Your correct on the solder. I never looked into the melting temps. 183*C for lead and 211*C for lead free. Interesting. In regards to the nvidia chip's though I have seen heaps of dv9000's with that particular chip to fail like crazy. They did blame it on nvidia. However from what I have said previously, I had done that to a number of dv9000's and not a single one has failed. So temperature has EVERYTHING to do with that laptop failing. Keep it cool, and it won't fail. It's as simple as that.

In regards to the xbox 360. Yes the mounting has a lot to do with it. However ultimately why does the gpu seem to fail with a red ring of death? Do you see CPU's failing on the xbox 360's? Rarely. It all comes down to cooling. That's why thermalright released the TR-360. Keep it cool and it'll last forever.

In regards to HP. Why do you think the 7000 series go or whatever that chip has seemed to fail in the HP DV9000 and never seemed to fail in the ASUS A8JS series? I owned that ASUS A8J back in the day with that 7700 Go in it. It never ran hot ever. I even took it apart as I always do to keep it running even cooler. On the HP dv9000 the intake vent on the bottom of the laptop didn't allow any airflow at all. So it let the cpu and gpu roll up to around 80-90*C continuously. My DV2615NR with the 7150M didn't even have an air intake vent at all! No vent... So the cpu and gpu idled at 85*C and in game quickly crashed at 100*C. My friend unknowingly just spent quite a bit of money on a newer hp dv7 series. Not sure of the specs but it runs really hot. Idles at 80*C and who knows what the loads temps are like. I have owned so many ASUS laptop's I couldn't even count all of them. They all ran cool and all had a large adequate air intake vent.

I was simply asking a question. Which should have been easily and quickly answered with all the knowledgable, and pleasant people on here. Who may of already had the problem and solved it.

whitrzac wasn't bombing the thread or anything. I wasn't upset over his comment. However if your going to post. Post an answer, and an answer only. I don't want someone telling me it's going to fail. I'm well aware of this gpu's history. I have been able to overcome the issue. It's not complicated.

So I feel like your comment is pointless as well. By the way in the time of all these pointless comments. I have already solved my own problem. Now it's here for someone else in need for a solution.

Dude, if you wanna go rage, do it somewhere else, here we respect each other.

Yeah, you can kill electronic equipment without heat, WITH DUST AND DIRT. The other guy is right, your laptop surviving 6 years is already enough, forget about OC'ing it for +1fps. Simple. You won't get twice the performance out of a 7150 Go.

 

Well I did. I went from 9fps to about 20fps which is playable. It does make a difference. I'm not raging. I wanted help and people would rather whine about it than help me. Is there something wrong with you? How do you think I'm upset?

I like messing around with these low end rigs sometimes. Its fun to me. My main computer is a sli'ed gtx 680 i7 2600k rig

Oh yeah. The only reason why dirt or dust causes failures is if that dirt/ dust clogs the heatsink/ fan and therefore causes it to overheat. This is common sense man. Heat is our enemy. If you don't agree, you've definitely lost it.

 

i7-2900K doesn't exist rofl.

Nice job trolling.

 

Trolling? You guy's need to chill. Put your brain to work and attempt to find a solution to my problem. Otherwise there's no point in posting. Right?

My mistake. i7 2600k. I have another i7 930 system at 4.2Ghz on air.

 

wrong.

How?

just curious.
