ENVY 17-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7850M)

They're an amazing logistics machine! I'll have to add an extra travel day between Newark and DC assuming that's my nearest hub. Today marks a full month since I ordered so it'd be nice if it touches U.S. soil tomorrow.

 

Your questions are too vague. Could you give us some details? What are the temperatures? What programs are bringing up the heat?

 

I got the free ground shipping.

I was really surprised how fast it got from Alaska to delivery, I thought for sure I would have to wait another day.

 

I know everyones abilities to converse are different .. But i have tried to help him a few different times. I struggle between thinking he just trolls here and there or he's 10 years old. I wish i could really help him but at this point i have given up.

 

I think he's just someone that doesn't really know much about computers. I've seen several posts from him asking the same question. I really don't think he's trolling though...

 

Are you using it on your lap or on a couch or bed? The bottom needs to have air get to it so the fan can cool it. If you are using it on one of the above put it on a table. Best guess given information provided.

 

im using a laptop cooler. sometimes it gets really hot and sometimes it doesnt. i was wondering if there's anyway to make laptop run smoother

 

How old is your laptop? What model is it? What do you mean run smoother? Do you just want it to be faster or does it lag sometimes? If it lags what are you doing when it lags?

 

Newegg, today only, has the following special -- today only.

OCZ Agility 4 AGT4-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

$95, free shipping, no tax

 

my laptop is the 3200 i lag in diablo. i thought with a 3750 qm 8 gb would make it run faster, but it still lags in game. i was wondering if there's anything i can install to make it faster

 

Hardware wise you could install a SSD drive, put your operating system and game on it and make your exisiting hard drive for data. That is about all hardware wise. Also have you checked your Internet speed. Are you wireless or Ethernet? Either way go to TestMy.net Broadband Speed Test and see what kind of upload/download you get. Do both tests. Report back as to what type of Internet connection (wired/wireless) you have and results of upload and download test speeds you get.

 

Have you tried the suggestions in the link i gave you?

Black Viper's Website

 

Thanks for the great information. As with many others, my laptop has been stuck in Shanghai since the 29th (expected delivery 7/5). As long as it gets on a plane soon, and doesnt have any delays in Anchorage, I suppose it can make the 7/5 delivery date. With that said, as nothing has gone right - I've learned to expect delays. We'll see what happens.

 

Ok. FedX just updated the status. Are you surprised of the latest update.

i dot know tempertures but its not bearable and im bring up diablo 3 the reason why i lag in diablo is it becasue i use wifi? how do i reduce latency in gaming?

 

what do i do with it? all i see is just window 7 8 and cars

 

Run the upload download speed test here. TestMy.net Broadband Speed Test. Tell us what your speeds are.

 

To test and tell us what your temperatures are go to this site, download the program, install it, and then tell us what your temperatures are. Install HWmonitor , it will tell you the system temperature, hard drive temperature , et.
CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

You need to do all these test if we are going to help.

 

I know HP locks their BIOS to restrict things like wifi cards but do they block mSATA SSD's that aren't from them or can I go on newegg and order one?

I want this: Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series MKNSSDAT120GB-DX mSATA 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Ok now get us sme temperatures.

 

sme? temperauteS?

 

the upload and download speed always change

 

Newegg is out of stock. Yes you can use whatever MSATA drive you wish as long as it is the correct form factor.

Supports 6.35-cm (2.5-in) hard drives in 12.7-mm (.50-in) and 9.5-mm (.37-in) thicknesses Customer-accessible Serial ATA (SATA)

Supports Accelerometer hard drive protection

Supports a 128-GB or 80-GB mSATA drive

One person did say the MSATA was a mini. Mine is still in Shanghi so as to it being full size or mini I can't say for sure but I believe it's full size. Hope this helps a little. Sorry it's not thevwhole answer.

mSATA drive Description Spare part number 128-GB mSATA drive 80-GB mSATA drive Before removing the mSATA drive, follow these steps: 665931-001 665932-001 1.Shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system. 2.Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer. 3.Disconnect the power from the computer by first unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet and then unplugging the AC adapter from the computer. 4.Disconnect the battery cable from the system board (see Remove the mSATA drive: Battery on page 39). 1.Remove the Phillips PM2.0×2.8 screw that secures the mSATA drive to the computer

 

Yes the upload/download will always change but it should not be by that much. I meant to say go get us some temperatures using that program I linked too.

 

Follow the directions they give you on the site. Read it. There are configuration settings, how to tweak the os, you have windows 7 don't you. Seriously, just read the website and try to do some of the legwork yourself.

thanks, I did notice that as well after I posted that. I wonder if the laptop comes with the second hard drive caddy preinstalled.... Perhaps I could install one of these: Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-256G 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Does anyone know if this newer Ivy Bridge version still suffers from one 3GB/s port and one 6GB/s port on the two hard drive bays that the sandy bridge version had?

Thanks

 

i did 38 degree celcuius

 

No caddy but does have the cable. Some people have used double stick tape. Also somewhere on the forum is a link to the caddy for less money than HP. Same caddy as for the 3000 machines. Yes it has same 6 and 3 GB problem. I can't get anyone to confirm MSATA speed though. Envy 17 does not, never has, suffered the orange problem. Only the 15" IPS screens had this problem.

 

38 for the hard drive , system board, what? Post all temperatures please. In fact, run your game while you have the temperature program running. Then after playing for 20 30 minutes, go back to the temperature program and post the low and high temperatures for all components.

 

Hard Drive Caddy & Cable for HP Envy 17 -3000 series (3xxx) [HP-ENVY-17-3000] - $27.95 : NewmodeUS, Hard Drive Caddys for Notebooks

Yes?

Not much off but I did find a coupon code to save about $2 lol: FB072808

 

i7 core is 60 degree celcius 51 min 60 degreed max

 

Ok, your speeds are very low for Online gaming. You may try to use your Ethernet instead of wireless. You may need to upgrade / call your internet provider and get a faster connection. This is probably your lag latency problem.

Keep these numbers and your temperature numbers and post them . We can then decide if your unit is to hot. I'm off to bed so perhaps someone else can step in. Good luck. With all the numbers you get post tomorrow if no one helps tonight.

 

That's the one, you don't need the cable so I can't remember if there is a cheaper one or not without the cable.

 

You say the unit is hot. What is the system board temperature. Post all temperatures please.

 

I've stated multiple times the msata is sataiii, and a few others have stated likewise. Maybe we need to get the first post edited to reflect the findings we've had rather than dozens of pages of posts to sift through.

 

Well looks like my laptop is finally on the move..

 

Do we really have BIOS F.05 or F.06?

My BIOS reports F.05 (at boot and in registry) with a date of 4/23/2012, despite my trying to install F.06 multiple times ( HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)(null) HP ENVY 17t-3200 CTO 3D Edition Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English). The InsydeFlash install seems to think it works, or at least I think it thinks that, the screen flashes away so quickly it's impossible for me to know for sure. Regardless, I thought F.06 was supposed to be the first BIOS release, so how do I have F.05??? Anyone else notice this?

 

Just be warned, I can't for the life of me figure out how to bypass the mSATA drive when booting. If you buy an mSATA drive and install it a machine with an OS already on another drive I think you'll find yourself unable to boot to the other drive. The BIOS does *NOT* let you choose the specific boot device, it just says "Notebook Hard Drive" and it will ONLY try the mSATA.

 

Free bootable Linux CD software like PartedMagic can help you fix this.

Remove the boot sector from the mSATA drive or repartition it using PartedMagic. Either one will prevent the BIOS from booting into the drive.

 

yup, same here. seems like what people say about HP and their bulk shipments are true.

Jul 3, 2012 6:47 PM In transit SHANGHAI CN
Jul 3, 2012 6:45 PM International shipment release - Import SHANGHAI CN

 

Same problem here with the non-3D version.

 

your 17-3200 (non-3D) shipped with F.05???
I rcv'd mine on 22Jun and it shipped with F.06

 

Ah crap, I have no movent since the 2nd (at local facility in Shanghai). Don't tell me I will be an unlucky one, damn you HP

 

Just opened mine last night, so far so good, no blemishes/defects I've noticed just yet. Can someone whose received theirs tell me what came packaged with their envy? I've watched some unboxings and I can't help but feel I'm missing something, like the "thank you for purchasing envy 17" card lol... Also if anyone would like to know anything, although at this point I can't think of anything that hasn't been fleshed out, let me know.

 

Ditto,

Since Canada Day was the 1st, now the only bump hopefully will be independence Day, or the weekend.

 

Now we know what the hold up was. They ran out of thank you cards. LOL

 

Lol It's all coming together now!

 

if you have the blu-ray player, can you confirm that it plays blu-ray movies correctly?

i have had problems before with the blu-ray players HP uses.

thanks.
