^ Not recommended since for this model cool air enter from the bottom vents.

Some dv6 owners say playing games without cooler the temp is around 7x but now i read some can reach 90...which one to believe . Heat is mine major concern when purchasing laptop...haiz dilemma

What u means? CM U2 enough ? do u know the price ?

Added on May 21, 2011, 4:17 pmSorry i means 90 celcius is the max temp for a particular core ~ and it is not last so long ... ave temp for overall at max around 80 only ....
For me heat is not a problem for this model

U2 not really fits perfectly but still acceptable, my suggestion is better get U3, since it's only about RM10++ extra.

oh i see...but 80 also consider quite high already

Added on May 21, 2011, 4:25 pmI believe you did say that playing Crysis 2 (without cooler) the temp only 71 degree for your dv6. How true is that?

Yeah, it was around 70++, refer back to previous post about one owner had admitted playing games with CoolSense to Coolest mode and Quietest / Optimized mode makes a lot different for the temperature. Maybe the guy didn't switch to Coolest mode?

I'm using CM U2 and i think its good already, but U3 could be better because its larger and has more fans and like reevephon said only RM10+ extra.

If 80C is high for you i guess u need to get a lappy without discrete graphic.

for me 70+ degree while gaming only achievable at night time.

Brother you cannot expect everything to be perfect right?

^ +9000

Thanks for the info bro . 7x is mine ideal temperature for laptop when gaming

This is my temps after playing Mafia 2 for 2 hours right now.

in coolest mode with u2?

hello guys, just want to ask something...
today i just place my order for Pavilion dv6-6114 for RM3799, the price given to me is RM3799.
however, when i see the term and condition, shipping to east malaysia need a charge for RM175, but when i make payment, they didnt ask me to pay for this amount (my shipment to kuching, sarawak)...
anyone know is't hp done a mistake or just hp waived the shipment fee?

yup with U2 but using performance optimize mode.

it is normal that they charge 175 to ship to east malaysia but overall that package worths the price

Did you try it in coolest mode and what's the temperature when playing MF2? Coolest mode means like power saver right?

i just got my dv6 today. Anyone had try to format this laptop?

Why you wanna format? Just to create partition? Try to use minitool partition manager & it's free software...But you hv to make recovery media disk 1st before you proceed.

not because of create partition, but I want to install windows 7 ultimate and some other stuffs.

if I insist to format, means that I will sacrifice some of the pre-built function?

those pre-installed softwares can be reinstalled
