Dont overclock your new GPU you tool, just use the old one! (If it still runs!)

That way you dont end up fragging another lol.

 

No Cat, let him be a tool.. it will be amusing

 

Oh god blazin...this is suicide

 

The thing is , I'm the only guy who don't care about those things.

Those errors i've been getting only happens when I
overclocked it , even by a tiny 5mhz.. So the best way to make sure is actually overclocking it.

 

But i have the same problem (In some tests,)

Only when im sat in sub zero do the errors decide to go, hey im cool, ill work for a few .

Its alot of money though dead, you gota admit .

 

Yeah but I knew by dismantling it will void the warranty , so can't complain.

My temps are too low for it to be related , we'll see in couple of days and the extra GPU will come in handy.

 

I think the only thing thats void atm is the qx9200, but i dont think you could get into bother about the repaste,

But yeah we will see, i look forward to any mad numbers you push

 

They better be mad!! i'm talking 12,000+ in 3dmark06

 

Well i've seen a qx9300 and 4850 hit 14k before, problem is, chris hasn't told me how to get past fsb restrictions yet.

 

I need new ram before I can start going mental.. mine won't let me get past 3ghz.. apparently the ram doesn't like being OCed from 800mhz to 1000mhz

 

I still need to put the ES back in , well I will do so after making sure the card is good and everything is stable.

Right now there's a T8300 inside. Which I overclocked to 2.7 last time will try to push it some more before doing a fresh install of 7 ... I hate RMA ! Everytime you have to ship it with stupid vista in ......

Once you remove a component , warranty will be void on that particular hardware.

 

Unless you put it back in and its a legitamate piece, you are legally allowed to change your thermal paste without voiding warrenty, sooooo we can all pretend you didn't swap... "Much" out,

I mean the CPu will be void but you could RMA the GPU right?

Thats quite a nice clock speed for the t8300 I wouldn't mind a p7350 just to try that stuff haha, will take a look in my local "Cex" store again, but i'm planning on buying a fair amount of things, some decent speakers, more monitors, and some other junk lol,

 

Yeah but I did remove the GPU and all the crappy pads on and underneath the card

I was kinda surprised it went to 2.7 without crashing .. Will try 3ghz next time.
It's good to have a spare CPU , might buy one of those P7350 soon.

Cex sells CPU ? The one next to me only has HDD and some Mac stuff..

More monitors ? You building a desktop ?

 

You should try ViDock http://www.villagetronic.com/vidock2/index.html

 

Gah no chance haha, but i have about about 1billion old crts that need replacing lol,

My Cex local has so much junk man, its unbelievable, its great to have.

Vidock has no chance too blazin, you can make that for 20 quid .

I'm really after these more specifically

http://www.zucker-kommunikation.de/...el/Teufel_Bild/Teufel_Concept_E_400_klein.jpg

A real decent set of speakers for my machine .

 

Looks good , Is it out yet ?

DIY Vidock blazin , very cheap

 

Yeah, i mean these guys deliver, and recieve from your front door, and their a premium speaker brand in germany too (So they come over here, just for us..)

Thats what i call quality, 120db on an spl meter for the 12 inch sub too (Problem is its massive..)

 

Sounds nice , ordering soon ? Don't forget the YouTube vid for us

A good heaphone is on top of my shopping list , my skullcandy hurts too much.

 

Question was about Targus 180W power adapter, and the answer is YES! It works flawlessly, right out of the box. One of the tips provided fits the MS-1722.

I hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Marek

 

You know I would really love to have this kind of setup, except that I would hardly use it, coz u really cant have some player swearing on top of their voice, especially when you have turned on full on a surround set.
Even If you dont have ppl in your house, neighbors would definitely get disturbed, especially since my gaming timings are so unique(12am-4am )

So I'll go along with death and get the headphones, Btw death let me know if you get them before.

And Cata you never told us, how you tweaked your system speakers.

 

i can understand your scenario since their my gaming times too haha

guys the envy 17 inch rocks btw it has tripple port eyefinity and runs dirt 2 over 3 screens fluid !

as for the sound, video coming soon, ill try rip my eq from the registries or something and upload

 

It's a shame they are such blatent rip offs of a Macbook.. otherwise I would be tempted
YouTube - HP Envy 17 and HP Envy 14

 

Hi everyone. I just found out my notebook was too hot to play games. When idle, the cpu temp is about 66C...How do you guys solve things like this? Buy a cooling pad? Thanks.

 

Sounds like your cpu could do with re-pasting, a cooling pad probably won't be too effective unless you modify the bottom of the case so air can flow (e.g. by drilling lots of holes in it )

Blazin

 

Thank You ! Time to look for a UK seller now.

I always thought the one that came with my machine was a 90w or something .. Turns out it's a 120w !

No prob How's your GPU issues ?

Waiting cat waiting

EDIT : @ Nkwd , how about your GPU temps ?

 

Mind you, i'd reccomend a good clean, did mine with an airbed electric pump and dust shot out the vents like crazy (And only after 1 year lol...)

It'l come dead, it'l come haha,

Will see about it tonight if my laptops up to sounding snappy.

 

My GPU is totally fine, like I said earlier it was the driver issue.

 

Glad to hear do you overclock ?

Guys new bios is out ! 1.11

 

What for the msi's??

Or the gpu?

 

MSI Bios , here's linky MSI Europe ? Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

 

So you mean I need do some clean with the inside of the notebook? Any guidelines or DIY post please? I have experience with desktop but not laptop...

My GPU temp is 58C when idle...

 

This will stop me from overclocking won't it

 

Yep , no overclocking with this one. You still overclocks yours ?

 

Used to, when I got this back in last april. Still using a 20% oc on proccy and ram(frm stock). No oc on card yet. Waiting for some kind of liquid cooling for laptops

 

I dont know but I kinda Hate Apple. And with Hp copying its quite in my dislike list. Sealed, not to be touched Apple products are so-not enthusiast types.
I wonder if you or death would actually think of putting any more heat into this laptop

 

Hell to the yeah! I prefer the extra 400Mhz of clock speed when running Cubase 5 and a myriad of virtual instruments. Still wana break 3.0Ghz though.. need some new ram.. and i'm not really sure which one to get

Yeh I like the idea of having such a high quality screen, but the slot loading drive would drive (no pun intended) me crazy! And I would probably get the 14inch one.. which has an Ati 5830.. do not want

And yes, i'm sure me and Dead can pack alot more heat into our 725s haha

Blazin

 

Hey I just noticed the Antec 200 in your sig. I am actually planning on it. How is its performance?

 

It drops the temps by a few degrees, but that may just be because the laptop is raised from the desc and has more space to breathe. It would be much more effective if there were lots of holes in the bottom of the case for air to flow through (like dead did )

Blazin

 

You mean grab your closed machine gun and shoot it?

Deads temps are phenominal to be honest haha.

 

Haha well what do you expect from a bullet riddled case.. I so badly want to do it.. but I would like to get hold of a spare first incase it goes wrong..

 

Yeah, me too, it sucks we can't got spare parts openly, i mean msi could make a bomb off money of having a replacement parts store.,

 

I will see what I can do for you guys , if they agree to send me a replacement that is

 

Hehe awesome dead (Y).

Right im going to perform a mass undervolt now to see if i can make the machine run as cool as a baby!

 

No ! Get a cooler Or shoot the crap out of it

What power adapter came with you guys lappie ? 120w ?

 

Haha naa im actually going to try underclock/volt the CPU, NORTHBRIDGE And GPU.

My adapter is 100-240v 19v 6.3A rated, nothing on the wattage itself lol.

 

19V x 6,32A = 120W

Watt = Amper x Volt

 

if you dont mind, dead could you post a pic of your "bullet riddled" back cover ?

Darn!!!!
What abt dust-sucking?

 

I modded my back cover in a similar way. It works wonders for the temperatures, my OCed QX9300@2786MHz@1,1V hardly reaches 73 degrees Celcius. Dust sucking is nothing to worry about. I clean the fan and radiators and vents every couple of months.
