QUOTE(kizwan @ Oct 26 2010, 02:59 PM) I see. Make sense since overclocking does stressed the CPU. So, I think better stick with stock speed. i5-450M already more than enough to play any demanding games. After overclocking, i suppose that overclocking drain more battery. So,in practical,how much battery life shorten due to overclocking? |

Finally managed to overclock my CPU, unfortunately like Kizwan, it BSODs when trying to increase it to 160MHz.

The one you told me to use last time.
Added on October 26, 2010, 5:14 pm QUOTE(kizwan @ Oct 26 2010, 02:50 PM) Yeah, that is correct but it still real processor speed. Our i5-450M runs at 4X degress and lower when idling. My friend's X42Jr's i7 runs more than 5X degrees on idle.  Not something we calculate on paper & dream for it when sleeping.  In my opinion, for budget gaming notebook, because it doesn't have fancy cooling system (fancy heatsink), i5 processor is much better than i7 in real life performance. I found i7 (mobile) processor, especially quad core processor is very lazy to achieve highest turbo boost compare to i5 because of the insufficient cooling system.Nvidia released new driver very fast. Maybe a lot of complains to 260.89 driver. I also found if installed without fresh install option selected, nvidia control panel seems not stable.

Sorry, I didn't check battery life when overclocking. Now @ stock speed. I played games on stock speed. Overclocking just for fun (and for benchmark).  Perhaps, maybe around 1 to 1.5 hour.Added on October 26, 2010, 5:56 pm QUOTE(AlexLai @ Oct 26 2010, 05:11 PM) Our i5-450M runs at 4X degress and lower when idling. My friend's X42Jr's i7 runs more than 5X degrees on idle. Yeah, my Dell Studio with i7 quad core also run 5X celcius on idle. When doing CPU extensive task, the temp up to 77 to 85 celcius. Still consider OK but because of the throttling, it will be difficult to achieve highest turbo boost. I even tried in very cold server room + cooling pad but still failed to achieved it.

@eugenechiuu, it only ask to restart if the files supposed to be replaced with newer version is in use. 260.89 driver also doesn't ask me to restart but I still restart it.
 On unrelated matter, anyone use "keyboard protective film" on their notebook? I have two things worried me; heat air dissipated at keyboard area & accuracy when typing. Any thoughts are welcome.  |

Oic thanks for the heads up.. On unrelated matter, anyone use "keyboard protective film" on their notebook? I have two things worried me; heat air dissipated at keyboard area & accuracy when typing. Any thoughts are welcome. U mean the keyboard protector? I had 1 free when I bought the laptop.. Used it to prevent dust but it doesn't fit properly n made my laptop looked very ugly lol.. So I removed it.. Accuracy is fine I guess.. Good for preventing dust.. |

I bought from amourone with whole set of protective film for the whole laptop. No problem on the heat. Temperature not increase when its on. |

For lee_what, he measure until windows loading screen only which is I think a standardized measurement.If you boot every startup software, then its not standardized since everyone install different type of start up software. |
