A Guide to BIOS OC HP 8600gs with drivers ABOVE 169.04

Your right johnksss, it was your confirmation which help me up my card to a safe usage values. lol

 

i just wanted to be apart of the helping crew.....

 

Today I flashed the f.51 bios with the 675/1350/450 settings - no problem at all. I wonder if we would ever be able to go past those frequencies...

 

Hey, good to see your still helping folks with their 8400/8600M GS overclock issues. Mine has been stable ever since I oc'd it and I have no complaints.

I'm now looking into oc'ing my Clevo 901C 8800 GTX ☺

 

hey zenica

im working on bios clocking the 8800m gts card myself.. along with cpu overclocking.

 

Quick question: For those of you with the HP DV9700 and the 512M 8600M Card, what is your average temperature?

I've noticed that with the new F.53 since the CPU speed doesn't seem to throttle back like with F.51 and the slightly higher O/C of the card my temp is now averaging around 60C. Just not sure if this is something to be alarmed about

 

I have DV9790 with HP Nvidia 8600M GS 512, F53 BIOS, with clocks set to 675/1350/450 and I have an average of between 60 to 65, sometimes 70c in warm weather running a full 3D game on high settings. All perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. The shutdown in HP BIOS is set to 115c for video card (Although I wouldn t like or recommend that high to go to)

 

hey, try out the new driver and see if it will let you over clcok. it runs great and over clocks nicely for the 8800m gts cards

175.63

 

cheers johnksss, worked a treat with HP 8600M GS,

Here is the link to the new drivers 175.63

A note for HP Nvidia Notebooks Vista Users only,
if you use XP I am afraid you have to mod your own inf

you need to copy this inf into install directory overwrihting the one already in there, otherwise new drivers will not install. once done then run the setup.exe as normal

I have added to enable install on HP Nvidia cards below

"NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150"
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 "
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 "
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100"
"NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M"
"NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M"
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7200"
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300"
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400"
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 "
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600"
"NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 "
"NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS"
"NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS "

way to go daz! i was a bit lazy ion my post and forgot to post the link.

 

Will it work for the 8800 GTX?

Also, I have no idea how to mod the Clevo 901C....as that is my notebook
with the 8800 GTX.

It is a nice computer, scores over 8800 3DMarks06 and 5.4 WEI

 

Download and give it a go. Obviously you don t need my modded inf, as you don t have HP, just download the updated drivers. The inf already in the install directory is the same as mine except I hav just added the HP Video cards to it

 

Just downloaded the nvidia 175.63 drivers and... must say I am pretty impressed. They gave me additional 170 3dmarks. Now it scores 3337 in 2006 3dmark (previously 3167). I have Nvidia 8600gs set at 675/450/1350. But still, I think Vista's WEI is pretty low, 5.1...?

 

you should now test higher clocks with the 8600m gs card and see if you can push it farther. DO NOT FLASH IT!!! just use rivatuner and go from there. start by testing the memory clock first and see if you can get it past 450.... i haven't had a chance to test it but i will very soon.

 

so what are your new over clocking speeds?

 

In HP BIOS no overclocking 500/1000/400

and with software overclocking the ones you suggested 675/1350/450

UPdate.

Tried the new drivers with RIVATUNER and could not Software OVerclock, so it looks like I have to return to BIOS mod again.

 

I can't software OC with the 175.63 drivers. Rivatuner resets the slides when I try to OC. I had flashed these settings before: 675/450/1350. The drivers are very good but can't software OC.

 

ntune will over clock it for you.

 

tried Ntune still won t work

 

hummm, i just did mine right now


hahahahahaha, my clocks didn't change either. i thought they did. let me do some more checking on this.

 

Hi there,
This is my first post. This guide worked well for me, but i'm stuck with ForceWare 174.32 that i got from hp's website. Any attempt to install any other driver (including the ones from nvidia) results in this message: . I have dv9500 with gs8600/256MB ram. Help.
Thanks

And btw how's cpu overclocking going?

 

You got the message because the drivers you try to install do not support your hardware. This happens very often, since nVidia rarely makes new drivers for laptops, and there is a difference between drivers for desktop/laptop computers (eg. 8600gs and 8600M gs - M indicates mobile).

To solve this problem, go to: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showforum=93 , choose the driver you want, download it and unpack, download the 'modded inf", paste into the folder you have unpacked the drivers and install. Then you shouldn't have any problems. I am currently using the 175.63 driver for Vista x64 and must say they gave me another 170 3d marks 2006.

 

cpu over clocking not going over well as of yet.
and as for the new drivers, you cant over clock them, so you best bet is to drop back to 169.09. i think there is another set in there that will allow over clocking, but i have forgotten which drivers those are.

and you need to make sure your using the correct inf file else it wont install either....

 

Thanks guys

 

174.60 OC's with my dv9700 8600M GS

 

SquireX, do you have a 256 or 512mb graphics card?

 

thanks squirex

 

512mb 8600M GS

 

tried 174.60 and they dont work for over clocking on mine.

 

Same here, need to drop back to 169.09 I think.

 

Odd. Both E-wrecked and I are using this driver BUT I think both of us just use it with the F.51/F.53 hacked Bios Daz provided.

 

gotcha. i was using my hack bios as well. got the clocks up pretty high, but none really stable.

 

I modded my bios on my own but these drivers reset the slide in rivatuner and I can't software OC.

 

no software over clocking above 169.09... at least not the 3d clocks

 

Hello!!!

I have an HP DV9535NR. With drivers 169.04 and software overclock using Rivatuner I achieve 650/475/1300.

I use this great guide and achieve 675/500/1350.

Change in OPROM (GPU/MEM/SHADER):
- 3D: 675/500/1350
- Low 3D: 200/200/400
- 2D: 133/100/266

I used the BIOS F.53 + a OPROM F.23A. The notebook is 100% stable.
Thank you for the great tip.

Now I am looking for a guide to change in BIOS the FSB to 800MHz and keep the memory at 667MHz and PCI-E at 100MHz. I appreciate any help.

I undervolt my processor using RMClock. With multiplier 9x, I use 1.100V. The default is 1.2125V.

My configuration:
Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5GHz
Geforce 8600M GS 256MB
Driver nVidia 175.70
4GB DDR2 667MHz
BIOS F.53 + OPROM F.23A
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Excuse my English.

 

that's easy. buy a 800 mhz cpu

 

When I open up 30CCF53.WPH It says "an unsupported module class 'J' was found in _J00, do you want to continue, anyone know how to fix this?

 

click continue and keep clicking till done

 

Had a weird thing happen yesterday....
I've been using the hacked F.53 Bios w/174.60 for the last few weeks (only have had the dv9700 for 5 weeks). Walked away from my desk for about an hour and when I came back, the screen was blank. At 1st, I thought it was stuck in hibernate mode but when I rebooted I realized the backlight was off. Numerous reboots did not help.

I then hooked it up to my LCD TV via HDMI so I could see my PC. I called HP support (which was great) and prepared to send the laptop back for repair. Figured I better reflash with the standard HP bios before sending it in and after the reflash, my backlight came back on!

Now it's been working fine. I'm not sure if this is just the start of a bad backlight or if the OC drew a bit too much current or what.

 

nah, the backlight has to do with a line in the inf file...i ran across the fix not too long ago.

 

Ohhhhh....so are you saying that it was a problem with the 174.60 hacked inf?

That's a relief! Thanks for letting me know.

 

hy all. i have an pavillion dv9790eg with an Nvidia 8600m gs with 512 mb ram. i have tried to make it. but i became error message when i will write the bios file.
what make i false?

ingo1977

 

this is my vga card info

 

and what is your 3dmark06 score with this setup?

 

i don´t the 3dmark06.

ingo1977

 

thats my 3dmark06 infos

 

to be honest with you...that's not that bad of a score with that card.

 

hy. sorry my english is not very good.

so my test-worth are not so bad???

 

i have downloaded the f.53 bios and i have make the instruction on the first side.
with phoenix and nibitor, but then i became an error message.

i don´t no whar i make false

 

if you tried to flash that bios file once already, then you cant di it again. you have to extract another copy from the original then edit it again, then save it and then flash it.
