HP/Compaq :: DV5z Fan

Jan 10, 2009

I have a new DV5z with the AMD Turion zm-84 and ATI radeon 3450. When I'm running on A/C power and on the high performance mode, the fan runs constantly. When I'm not even using the computer and it's sitting at idle, it still runs! It's loud...louder than a 2008 notebook should be IMO.

Is this a defect? Why won't the fan ever stop running?

HP/Compaq :: Hp Pavilion Dv5z GPU

Feb 12, 2009

I'm considering paying the extra $100 to add in the 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450 to the dv5z I'm customizing...

My question is if I add that in does this machine make use of the "Hybrid Crossfire " capabilities and have the integrated and dedicated work together?

HP/Compaq :: DV5Z- Laptop, And The Specs

Apr 22, 2009

My last computer was the HP DV5Z, which I LOVED. It was the perfect size, did everything i needed it for, and was an overall great choice.

Unfortunately, 1) My laptop was stolen when my apartment was broken into , and 2) they no longer sell the dv5z on hp.com

Now, I am for sure going to order my laptop from hp.com, so I need to know what you guys would recommend.

I will use my laptop for gaming, research, college, and DVD burning.

I am almost positive I want the slightly bigger dv6z, and thats my main choice.

However, I'm not sure how big of a difference performance in CPU is, if 4 gigs of ram is REALLY worth it over 3gigs of ram, whats the benefit of the wireless-N card over G, and how come all the coupons are used up

HP/Compaq :: HP Dv5z Series- With USB Devices And Start Up

Mar 4, 2009

I have had a HP dv5z w/ windows Vista Home Premium - 64 bit for two days now.

1) I have a wired USB mouse that I use since the touchpad is terrible. But everytime, I plug in this supposedley plug and play mouse, there is a message that says device driver is being installed and it takes a few moments before the mouse can be recognized. Is this normal?

2) Also, the day i got my laptop, i had to download Windows updates (the automated message on the control panel said so!) and installed them. I am not sure if its related but since then i have re started my laptop 2-3 times and there is a file check process that happens as a part of the start up and then just before the welcome screen comes, i get a message
Step 1 of 3 - Configuring Updates - Do not shut down your computer.

How long is this going to happen and is this normal?

HP/Compaq :: Dv5z - Power Adapter Not Working

Feb 22, 2009

I have HP DV5Z-1000 laptop. The other day my AC adapter stopped working and won't charge my laptop. I know it is the adapter because when I have it plugged into the wall, and not even plugged into the laptop, it beeps.

I got my laptop in the US, but I am currently living in a small town in Canada and can't easily get replacement parts. I am not sure if HP will ship the same adapter to Canada.

My question is, can I buy any old adapter or would I need the same one it came with? If I need to buy a third party adapter what one can i get?

HP/Compaq :: Battery Meter After Clean Install, Dv5z

Jan 14, 2009

After a clean install of vista on my dv5z, all the drivers have been installed and everything works properly...

one thing i noticed was that the battery manager now says

Balanced
Power Saver
High Performance

instead of

HP Recommended
Power Saver
High Performance...

I was wondering if there is any benefit of having Hp recommended instead of just Balanced, and if there is a driver or fix?

HP/Compaq :: Dv5- Undervolting Values

HP/Compaq :: DV2 Undervolting: Get At Least 25% More Battery Life

May 6, 2009

Following the excellent flipfire's undervolting guide and inspired by Silvr6's experience with undervolting his dv2, I decided to give it a try and...I was able to increase the battery lifetime from almost shameful 2h 25 minutes to 3h 30 minutes for mpeg 2 play, or even to 4h 20 minutes (light browsing and lots of reading). So, you get at least 25-30% more battery lifetime. This makes me like my dv2 a lot more!

Perhaps, it's the noted AMD's tendency to overvolt their CPUs, perhaps something else, but I was able to get the following 100% stable (in my case) voltages:

4.0x-0.6875 V
4.5x-0.7125 V
5.0x-0.7250 V
5.5x-0.7500 V
6.0x-0.7750 V
6.5x-0.8000 V
7.0x-0.8000 V (yes, it’s 0.8V again)
7.5x-0.8250 V
8.0x-8.5000 V

these voltages are stable for my particular CPU; yours might be slightly lower or higher. For example, Slvr6 was able to get a bit lower with 4x – 0.675 V. Read the undervolting guide!

But I hope that the table above will encourage you to try the undervolting (btw, unlike the overclocking it’s 100% safe), since the benefits for dv2 and AMD’s “neo” are so dramatic!...........

HP/Compaq :: Undervolting HDX 18t Quad 9000

Oct 5, 2009

I just wanted to share my experience on undervolting my HDX 18t 1103EA, Intel Quad 9000-2Ghz, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 9600M GT-1gb, Vista x64. After reading and trying the undervolting guide (thanks to flipfire), I couldn't make rmclock to work. Anyway because Q9000 has only 4 multipliers: 6x, 6.5x, 7x and 7.5x and rmclock does not support half ones, I decided to try CrystalCPUID. It can do only three ones and I choose 6x, 7x and 7.5x. I managed to go down to 1.163- stable on all three. CrystalCPUID would not allow any lower than that, although according to Intel Q9000 lowest voltage is 1.050. Strange enough both CPU-Z and Everest show that this the actual voltage when CrystalCPUID is active. Also when it is not active the cpu works only on the highest multiplier- 7.5x. My idle temp didn't really changed- it is always around 48C-55C (no AC in my room). I tried to buy CpuGenie (10 euro is nothing for some extra life on a 1300 euro mashine, but paypal asks for registration and I don't want to register.

Apple :: Undervolting In OSX

Mar 5, 2009

So, the famous notebookreview undervolting guide is aimed for computers running windows, so I'm wondering if there's a guide to undervolt cpu/gpu under OSX? Since opening the computer to apply AS5 (and void warranty) isn't worth it, undervolting is the next best thing to dropping massive temps for doing virtually nothing.

Dell :: Undervolting Under Ubuntu 9.10?

Nov 20, 2009

So I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on my M1530 and have a dual boot setup with the other OS being the NSA's Windows 7 64bit.

This is my first Linux experience and I am rightfully enjoying it. Thus far I have been able to figure things out OK, but I am a total Linux newbie and dont know of a way to undervolt.

I havent figured out if its possible to run RMClock and I dont know of a Linux alternative.

Most the stuff I find on google is years old and Im thinking there have been better solutions since then .....

Dell :: Undervolting My M4400

Dec 23, 2009

I want to undervolt my Presicion M4400 as per this guide:
The "Undervolting" Guide

A few questions as I embark!

1) Does it matter how much power my M4400 draws when I do this? That is if I later attach USB drives, add a 2nd hardrive to optical bay, should I take these into account? I assume no but just checking.

2) After doing the first stress test I got max temps of 76C on CPU, after lowering the max 10.0 multiplier voltage and running it for 10 min I got max temps of 79C. Something must be wrong?

In RMClock's CPU info page (see pic. 1) the "current" 10.0x multiplier reads 1.1250V when Im doing the stress test although I've set the 10.0 multiplier to 1.1500V (default max is 1.2500V) on the profile page (see pic 2).

Shouldn't the read outs correspond with the set max voltage? Also on the RMClock CPU info page (see pic. 1) the "maximal" 10.0x readout is 1.2500V which is again different from the set 1.1500V.

Is this normal or have the setting not been saved or something?

3) On the advanced CPU settings page my thermal monitoring is not checked (see pic 3) this differs from the Undervolting guide screenshots and is not specified if these should be on?

Acer :: Undervolting 6920g

Nov 26, 2008

decided to try out undervolting to solve what i suspect are cpu overheating issues which causes the gpu to downclock when playing games... i know others have done the same.. question is, how far below the default voltage have you guys gone? the default for the 12x multiplier is 1.1365v and right now im testing 1.0125v... i think ive undervolted a considerable amount already but have only gotten 1 or 2 degrees off my max cpu temp... also, do i have to undervolt all the multipliers? or is it ok to have my 12x multiplier at a lower voltage than the other multipliers? i dont really have the time to find the right voltage for all the multipliers

Acer :: Undervolting The SU2300

Dec 3, 2009

trying to do the undervolting mod on my 1410 SU2300, and I can't seem to find any details on the proper multiplier/voltage for RMClock. I'm using der_mali's tutorial for undervolting, and I've found that the proper multiplier is 6x (it seems that the SU2300 only has this one). For those who have a 1410 SU2300 undervolted, what settings did you use? Any extra things I should be aware of?

Sony :: Undervolting Core I7 On Z11

May 8, 2010

First things first: The new Z is the best laptop I've owned so far. End of story. Had MBP, MBA, AW m15x and several Dells, but nothing like this.

Second:
Im not a big fan of hardware overclocking/undervolting (anymore). (Referring to the "Insyde hacking" thread.)

Ok, with that in mind; how do I software undervolt the mobile core i7 processor?

Tried good old RMClock, which doesn't work. (It hasn't been updated for years, so I didn't expect it to).

CPUgenie... didn't work.

Crystal CPUID.. didn't work.

Now I'm out of own ideas, started searching. The only thing related to my "problem" (which actually isn't a problem, I'm just a big fan of undervolting and want it that way), is this thread:

ThrottleStop thread here on NBR.
Downloaded it, tried it... doesn't work. I don't get access to the voltages.
