Q9100 In 7811fx

It is an A1 chip which is $130 cheaper than QS which i would have to pay $18 on top of that for shipping.

Q9100 A1: $450 shipped
Q9100 QS: $589+ shipping
QX9300 QS: $749+ shipping

He's getting lower but i'm not paying that.

"For my dear Customer's specail price $575+18USD is lowest^^ ... actually QS of Q9100 not easy to find, thanks"



Looks like it will be here tomarrow!

 

cool. waiting to hear those results.

 

sounds like first round testing cpu... i think the later chip came as an EO

Yes A1 is early chip.

 

well, let the first day of testing begin!! get all testing tools together now, my friend. *LOL*

 

Well..it acts no different than before. I have to use RMCLock to not have the CPU downclock. TZS0 still freaks out with, or without any OC whatsoever. Eh..guess it's a 7811FX thang.

 

did it do it with your stock chip? and you didn't get as5 on in another the internal components anywhere right? if all is good...then the last thing would be to test a fan underneath the gpu side. because that tpz0 sensor seems to be really close over there. i ran a fan and it seemed to help. key word.."seemed" but i only have the x9000. different chips. or your thinking culd be right...something is wrong with the board.

 

Im not the only one.. if you google TZS0, you'll see 7811fx as the first post. And, its the same problem Im having. It is, in my opinion, hardware related. Faulty or not, there is obviously a problem.

 

Nope. It's all in your head. You took the teal green and plaid pill.

 

peer pressure.. I succumbed to it.

Not sure who mentioned the dime between the sink and chip..but Im thinkin that if there is a bit of AS5 slapped on a penny..both sides, of course..and then bolted between.. You'd be straight!

EDIT: Didn't work well, not a suggested method.. Kidding, I'm not that gullable. - And pennies are copper plated, dimes are silver plated..or nickel plated..or somethin. Actually, the dime isnt a bad idea.. *referring to Dooks following post* Silver is the only metal that transfers heat better than copper...but silver plated vs. copper plated..hmmm.. Im gonna stick with AS5 of thermal blue pads.

 

That's not a bad idea and could possibly work. The only thing is a penny is thicker than a dime.

 

but it costs less and is likely equally effective.

 

told ya mine did it already....lol. so that meant im on your side..we were just trying to find a possible solution with out having to trade it in for another one.

 

maybe bios 9c.11.00 will fix it

 

the reason why it's not fixed is because i dont think they ever tested it with a higher chip other than the 2.26 it came with.

 

I'd be inclined to agree.. I'm still wondering why RMClock stops it from downthrottling even when tzs0 peaks at 98c. Possibly because it takes presidence over Vista power configs? And I'd quit whinin' bout this if there was a new RMClock, or even a NHC that would let me use my 11.5 multiplier! Heck, even if the OC BIOS comes through..I'm not sure the system is capable of handling it.

 

Since you mentioned that it may be Vista causing the issue have you thought about throwing xp on there just for the heck of it ? . i should have tested it when i had xp on there because i knew how to reproduce the problem everytime in crysis to get it to spike to 98.

 

you know....i turned off every setting in rmclock and ran max voltage and it still helped with the tpz0 sensor, but when i stopped rmclock, it would shoot right up to 98. so maybe the temps are geared to 2.8 ghz because remember... i could not run my chip at 3.0 and only at 2.8....

we shall see today or tomorrow if his chip turns on..... but under your line of thinking....you could be right..it may not handle heat....


edit: quad, just run orthos. that thing will spike pretty quickly.

 

off topic

yo E check the link. zenica posted his marks using a 9800m gt.

gotta love Websense.. I can't view much from work, including the screen shots that he posted. I'll make sure to check it out this evening. Hope he got the x9100 pumpin, he was distraught that my GTS was smokin him a lil while back.

 

xp= 21 frames 1900x1200
vista= 14 frames 1900x1200

 

Holy shi t! That's a huge difference. Ive got an XP CD at home, and an extra HDD.. I just dont feel like dealing with the headache of updating all the drivers to work on the 7811. Eh, maybe I will eventually.. But, for gaming..obviously XP is a better choice. Heck, and like mentioned in previous post..maybe that will resolve TZS0. Worth a try, eh? It's gotta be easier than applying AS5 to that northbridge..again

 

you only need the main drivers forget sound and non essentials for the time being.
do your benchmarks and see what you get. if it does in fact produce better performance and no tzs0 sensor issues.... then you may have your solution.

 

Does not work..will not post and if you look at the heatsink the chips comeS close to the sides! I doubt this heatsink was designed for use with a Quad.

Anything i should try? i tried ver 27 and 28 bios...looks like i could try QS=E0 or just get X9100.

 

Well thats a bummer. i was concerned about the cores being to fat for the heat sink and it looks like there right on the edge but that wouldnt stop it from atleast posting.

 

the quad, is it sitting in its own slot or is that your motherboard??

edit: or is that just holding the cpu and you took it out and put it in the laptop

 

that might be a tray they shipped it in ?

 

i like the tray allot!! *LOL*

 

Yea...The heatsink would not work well lol!...But why have Quad updates in the beta bios?

 

Maybe the chip was DOA ? .

 

did it make any sounds at all?

 

I was so pissed when i realized it didn't work i just ripped that sucker out not i'm stock getting a new lappy...I suppose a pretty backlit keyboard this time.

 

They said october or november would be the production release of the quad-core supported BIOS. So, testing phase isn't complete..they have BIOSes from 1-28. So, it takes time to tweak and work out the bugs. Could u post a pic of the chip, and not cover the markings..please?

 

Maybe it was Alitunay sellin his bo-bo Russian CPUs.. kiddin, really.. but, I hope that ya manage to figure something out. At the least, get a refund.

 

Is there any way i could test to see if it is? I doubt it though...look at that heatsink...There is no room for that beast!

 

I'm going to swap it for a X9100 QS.

 

wait! so you ripped out the whole cpu socket??

isn't the laptop toast now???

 

Lol i said the same thing to myself / Well i guess its time to bust out the coat hangers, crazy glue and duct tape and get that bad boy back together

 

Why'd you censor the dangly bits?

 

Could be the seller had asked him not to post any pics of serial numbers etc as there not even available for retail yet ?

 

im thinking that line on the side is to cover where it got ripped out of the mother board...if ya ask me....*LOL*

 

He is willing to swap it out for X9100 ..but i'm wondering if maybe i should list it on ebay for $499 since there are 0 out there?

 

that's a big 10-4 negative! give it back, because if you sale it not knowing if it really works or not.,... you could be opening a big can of worms.

 

Ya just swap it dont even mess around . Didnt you destroy your machine though ?/

 

Update: The chip was not dead ...it was tested and works fine....1 of two things i think were the issue.

1: Some motherboards do not recognize A1 chips.
2: 7811fx does not support Q9100..but the beta bios have us thinking diff.

Either way i will wait for someone to try a version 6 stepping quad and rock this X9100 untill we know for sure!

 

well....how ya like how that 9800m gts is treating you now?? it should be kicking butt!!

 

Much better than the 8700m GT i had in my Sager NP5793.

 

*LOL* what i meat to say was ....hows it treating you now with that x9100 behind it.

 

It's fine...I still need quads though...I still do most of my gaming on 360 and ps3 anyway lol!

 

you know what....so do i.... ps3 that is. and this lappy is a big kids toy.
