Please keep this thread clean please guys, keep the nonsense talk to minimum

Download from ATi/AMD site, obviously and mod it using Mobility Modder from first page

If it can play crysis, of course it can play lesser games with ease. The first page got the info on what games it can play, and other user reviews as well. Please stop asking one line stupid question like these

Weird, with 213 only detect HD4570, even in PowerXpress it cant switch to HD3200 but only stays using HD4570. End up using dGPU again

Wait, I need to take some pic first. I'll edit this post, got something to do right now

Read closely, the guide even told us how to load the setting at startup

He did P0 and P1 is because he wanted to use either max power saving or max power. There is simpler method, use High Performance in Power Plan in control panel, and you can click the power state clockspeed of both core, and click apply, your clockspeed will stay there without the need of two profile
Those question is common sense, and I did put on first post regarding temperature and battery life. Is it so hard for you to read?

Wha...? I run all those 3DMark test from 2001SE right up to Vantage, it runs fine. What's up it won't run on lappy user_Xp? If even Crysis can run well, why not those synthetic benchmark? I have finished tons of game on this lappy, Quake4, Doom3, Crysis Warhead, and Tom Clancy H.A.W.X

About RAM prices, I checked few days ago, single 2GB stick costs RM150-170

Indeed it is slower, but I'd get more than 10k in 3DMark03 and more than 6.7k in 3DMark05 out of this puny HD 4570. This little GPU is quite a good performer, just not in latest titles.

I been looking to buy Turion X2 ZM84 or ZM86 for some of the more CPU intensive game titles, anyone knows where to buy these chips?

Do update me/us if you got anything, you been very helpful with overclocking on this lappy I haven't got much time for internets, its been very busy taking Degree and only got free time near the weekends

Something like 2.4GHz is enough to handle some older titles like CnC3 that I've been playing so much on this lappy. With CPU fan at 100% the CPU won't even reach 60C anymore, even after full load and the GPU is below 80C (only reaches 80C if I run FurMark fully overclocked), a good 8-10C compared with the mobo control the fan

No, tap the power from USB port to the fan power connector. Instant 100% fan speed all the time

I want to upload the photos, but I cant find where is the USB data cable for my phone Its 2 in the morning, I'm sleepy, I'll look for it tomorrow, really sorry

As promised, here is the picture. The fan connector has 4 pins, you only need 2 wires.

Disconnect it from the fan header on the mobo, use a long thin cable with very thin conductor that can fit inside the fan connctor like picture below


You only need to connect the red to +5V and black to ground on USB ports. The USB port pinout can be found here. Look at picture below how it connected to USB ports.


This entire thing is reversible of course, no cutting or soldering required on the fan connector so it won't void the warranty

Yes, just use the wires, and if you don't like it just put it back to its fan header

Yes, just get the thin cable, you can buy it from electronic store

I run my lappy without backpanel 98% of the time, the only time I put it back is when I used it in class

Exactly, I have done fine tuning on RAM timing using AMD Overdrive, I haven't notice much difference in anything, only WEI RAM score went up by a bit and that's it

Temperature depends on games/application you run. Some game/apps tax GPU more than others. Run FurMark, that will cook your GPU nicely

Of course, I just told him what are the most taxing apps to 'burn' GPU

This is the lowest temperature I got

You mean the driver package version? Mine is 8.661 (Catalyst 9.10) from ATi/AMD site

My BIOS is 216 if you wondering

I don't know actually, but from my experience don't worry about it. Even the drastic changes from one version to another (Cat 9.9 to 9.10 for example) won't have any significant performance difference unless otherwise stated in the readme

If you want more, you can always overclock, 700MHz on core with 600MHz memory will give some boost in performance

Lo l its a combination of my name and the word mod, my best friend call me that since I'm crazy modding stuff

It depends on the level of detail and resolution you play, some can mean 1-2fps or can be as large as 10-20fps

I don't like to go off topic too much, please stay on topic next time

To answer your question, I have no one single site. I Google what I want and I just follow anything that relate to my interest. For example, modding headphones or need headphone recommendation, go to Head-Fi. I learn by hard, I have no teacher, the web/book and experience is my teacher. I've burn my hand, my nose, get zapped by live AC wire, blown a lot of electronic component from a simple board to soundcard and even graphics card. But that what defines 'fun' to me, modding stuff, learning how it works, why is it like this, why is it like that. All of this keeps me modding stuff
