Just got new M860TU !!

Hi guys, I just recieved new lappy M860TU from Eurocom.(actually my brother did)

T9600
4GB DDR3 1333MHz
9800M GT
250GB 7200RPM (Seagate momentus 7200.3 with G-force)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Wifi link 5300
Bluetooth

My first impresion was awesome

I followed this guide and installed it:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=330112

(Intel storage manager 8.06,HW monitor, CPU-Z, GPU-Z(sohail99's post) and Intel chipset driver, PCI-E LAN realtec drivers and Realtec sound driver (Audigi's post))

My idle temps:
HDD 45C
GPU 48C
CPU 36C

When I open CPU-Z, my CPU is running only at~1600MHz.(6x multiplier)
If I switch between normal and silent mode, only difference is voltage (silent is 1.11V and normal 1.33V)


I know it is dump question but I cant find this thread.
(I am sure someone has the same problem)

Thank you for your help. (woah just downloaded 3DMark :-D )

 

Your CPU isn't needed to run at full speed so it switches to a lower multiplier to save power, when you need the speed it will kick back up to full speed.

 

Yeah,that is what I thougt. But I thought I have to turn this feature on. May I switch it on/off anywhere?

Thanks a lot!!!

 

im jelouse my GPU is running at 68c desktop atm... sigh my poor laptop ... only maxs at 84 or so in games.. but it makes me worried.

 

68c on idle? Wow thats high. My GPU is around 39 on idle.

 

Heath dont worry man. U think 68c is high, back when the 4870s came out mine ran at 80c+ on idle .

 

Don't forget Intel WiFi 5300 drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=3062&lang=eng

 

Hmmm.Ran 3DMARK 2006 with official nVIDIA drivers and achieved incredible score: 3500Marks.

I think machine is in normal mode and powe plan is high performance

http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=57A1BCAF8D83E8BB973B3B0F3320F491

Just tried stock drivers, oficial 179.28 drivers and DOX 180.43 and still low performance. Heeelp please.

 

Try running it in Balance and Power Saver to see how it scores.

 

I tried this:
Battery mode power saver 3400Marks
Battery mode blanced 4300Marks
Battery mode high performance 4400Marks

AC Adapter
High performance 9200Marks

It seems like I cant achieve more than 4500Marks on Battery.
Is is normal?

I think my score 9200Marks is still low compared to my rig.

I would appreciate any help to improve my score.

Thank you all

 

Oh the low score was on battery? LOL!!! There's nothing you can do about that.

What is your CPU score on that 9200 run?

 

Yeah.The 4500Marks was on battery. It is supposed to be like that kevin?


T9600 running at 2.8.Actually the same CPU as you have.
CPU score is about 2520Marks.

 

Well that's Nvidia's Powermizer technology at work. It downclocks your card when on battery to extend it's life.

To disable try this, or try using the Powermizer Switch. Some people swear by these methods, but I've never had that registry entry, and the swutch has never worked either. Oh well.

Oh, and look again, I have the T9 800.

Cheers.

 

Do you notice any difference compared to the other CPU kevin_jack2.0?

 

Guys, could you help me to achieve maximum results? T9600 with 9800M GT should performe better than 9200Marks

 

Okay now Iam getting sick.

Since I got these scores around 9200, I cannot achiveve more than 4500 anymore. Its like my laptop cant recognize that AC is plugged in. On the bar it shows fully charged and there is cable icon right by the battery icon.

It seems to me like SW issue. I have M860TU 2 days and still drives me crazy. I know I am kinda noob but if the notebook is on AC adapter and set high performance mode, I would see gigh performance.

Please help.

 

Compared to my P8600? Rather large difference in RTS like Company of Heroes, Universe At War. I bought it for Dawn Of War II, and I know it'll make my investment worth while. Of course benchmarks improved greatly. 3Dmark06 went up +1200, it knocked almost 4 minutes off the 1024m wPrime run.

It is a power hungry sob though. I haven't let it fully discharge my battery yet, but I'm guessing that it's kicked about half an hour off of my battery life.

 

Yes I meant the P8600. Hmm, thats a pretty nice improvements =)

 

im running the P9500 and getting a score of 9240 so yours should defo be about the 10,000 mark or above.

if your not sure what your doing with updating drivers or bios then this can cause problems. if you havnt fully removed the previous drivers it can cause conflict and mess all sorts of things up.

 

MrDJ

Thank you for your advice. I disconnected battery and went sleep. In the morning I plugged the battery in and system works runs perfectly. Now I am charging battery and we will se what happen if it hits 100%.

Hammer staff was funny

 

so are you getting 9000-10000 3dmark06 scores again. if so it sounds that somehow there was a strain on your motherboard and it downclocked for some reason. keep an eye on it and keep us posted.
also download HW Monitor to keep an eye on your temperatures.

 

Woah wait. This I didn't know. In order to run full speed on the GFX card, I need to be plugged in? I know if on battery gaming would be short, but I din't know about the downclock.

 

im just guessing about downclocking but i cant think of another reason why it would drop from 9000+ to 4000+ in 3dmark06

 

Let me tell you what happened today. Like I said, everything was okay in the morning while I was charging. When battery hit 100%, It was still good. I updated my stock drivers from Eurocom 176.28 to official nvidia 179.XX Beta.

The same problem again. I reinstalled clean OS, now I am on stock drivers and works good. I dont know what the heck is with it. I think I am able to update drivers of my gpu. Everybody on this forum has upgraded to newer gpu driver either dox or nvidia beta driver right? Why I cant

Now with older driver got lower results. Only 9200 points in 3DMArk2006 , lower fps in games etc.

Do you think I shoud replace it ?

 

When you run the newer drivers, are you getting any log entries in your event logs that might suggest what the problem is?

 

Thank you for your reply. I just dont undrestandt what event log do you mean. And where. Dont wanna spam forum with my stupid quetions like that Would bother other users with simillar issues.

 

The quick explanation for how to find the event logs in _Vista is on this webpage. I run XP, so I don't always know exactly how to get to all of the different functionalities in _Vista (I know what's there, just not how to get there, if you know what I mean ).
