XTU works amazing...but don't forget to enable overclocking and overriding the turbo settings in your bios

I've never heard of this XTU program before today - will it do anything for my 740qm? Or is it Sandy Bridge only?

It could do something depending on bios support, won't hurt to test it out.

If the bios allows, XTU will work. You can overclock your FSB with XTU.
if XTU doesn't work, you can still overclock the 740 with SETFSB -
I was wondering to ES and QS models have unlocked multiplier for the CPU?
If so, can overclocking of the CPU be done via software instead of BIOS? -

Software ocing requires an unlocked bios with sandy bridge.
2720QM ES is locked, I think some 2820 ES and of course the 2920 ES are unlocked. -

Has anyone got a 2720QM ES 8MB running 1866mhz ram?
-
crap i wish i saw this earlier
only getting 6400 pts on my i7 2720 ES 8mb D:
super pi 1m 13-14 s
super pi 2m 32 s -
So does this mean my 2720es is slower than a 2630qm...?
EDIT: Yes, my friend's 2630qm gets 6800 pts in passmark. -
I'm planning to get a 2720QM ES. May I know if it will work on my HP Elitebook notebook with i5 2540M. Does HP BIOS recognize ES CPUs?

Here's a CPU re-paste guide I made: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-...p-elitebook-8460p-cpu-gpu-re-paste-guide.html -
I have a choice to get 2720QM ES and 2670QM OEM version at similiar price. Is it worth to take the risk for extra 200mhz turbo clock and 2MB L2 cache? I believe my 8460P can handle quad cores because some 8460Qs come with quads and they both share the same cooling solution.

Mine comes with with AMD GPU. How much hotter will the quad be? Mine currently idles at around 45C and peak at 70-80C. I don't think temperature will be a problem and I have notebook cooler if needed. I just feel dual core is a bit laggy because I multitask alot and getting quad for future proof.
-
I suggest you run Prime95 and monitor the temps with HWMonitor. If it gets over 90C, the quad will run too hot. -

no idae, but it's a possibility, I fixed the problem on my np8130, had to resort to 1.06 bios

In 8460p with ATI graphics i5 was replace by i7-2720QM ES, BIOS F.27, system booting, load windows (I hear greeting sound), but graphics card doesn't initializing (in BIOS and in windows mode). All other working (sound, keyboard). How can I modified BIOS (move CPU microcode or change init graphics from internal i7 HD3000 to ATI 6470)?

Question, has anyone been able to confirm that the Q154 is unlocked or not?
Difference between ES 2720qm?
