Like me i don't use HP Quick Launch, HP OSD, BeatsAudio Control Panel, Igfxtray, HotkeysCmds, Persistence, Bluetooth and USB 3.0 Host Controller. I disabled them all.

Yours is DV6? 6001TX or 6114TX?

sttray64.exe = BeatsAudio tray icon.
hkcmd.exe = Hotkey Command for Intel graphic.
igfxtray.exe = Intel Graphic tray icon.
igfxpers.exe = Only useful with Nvidia graphic. (not so sure about this)

yo, i'm free and bored.

knot.. lol.

no.. weird enuff.. i didn't play games for >2 weeks already.

ninja don't sleep.

Nothing better to do... so i did a nuublittle test on video players.
Currently in my system i use 3 video players. Splash Pro, Media Player Classic - Home Cinema and Window Media Player.

Test Setup:
Proc: i7-2630QM
GPU: AMD HD6770M
CoolSense: Performance
PowerPlan: HP Recommended
Monitoring Tools: OpenHardwareMonitor, MSI Afterburner & Windows Task Manager
Test video: Girls' Generation - Genie 3D Music Video(in 2D) [Format: BDAV | Bitrate: 30MB | Filesize: 815MB | Length: 3m 49s]
MPC-HC: Video filter=Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
Splash Pro: BestQuality=On, iMotion²=10, Hardware Acceleration=On, Motion² Ultra 1080P=On
WMP: Default


-Splash Pro
Pros: The image quality is definitely the best and it can force the video to be play @ 60fps without frame drop and most of the time it works. If you're a K-Pop fans who downloaded alot of Mpeg-TS video format like me, this is the player to use. Splash Pro has Advanced Power Management mode which i'm not able to test it yet.
Cons: With most eyecandy turned ON, this player is the most demanding among all 3. It can't play some video formats, for example FLV video.



-Media Player Classic - Home Cinema
Pros: The most versatile video player of all 3. It can play ALL video formats i have at the moment. The performance is average and not so demanding on resources. It can play the video @ 60fps.
Cons: In term of image quality, this placed 3rd. Not as smooth as Splash Pro and i noticed some frame drops.


-Windows Media Player
Pros: The least demanding and image quality is quite good. If you are on a go and need the most of your battery life while watching some movies, this is the player to use. Before i can squeeze almost 4 hours of battery life while watching video using this player with HD3000 on. Smooth playback without noticeable frame drops.
Cons: You can't really tweak WMP to get the best performance on specific video format and some videos can't even play properly while the other 2 players got no problem playing it. Not as smooth as Splash Pro.

U have U2 right now? If not, get the U3.

My bad, MPC-HC can't be tweak to specific video format but FFDshow codec can.

No.. it get smoother in Splash player.

Never try ReClock before but i experienced the same when i try to force 60fps using ffdshow.
This is the setting that did the magic in Splash Pro.

You can check the comparison between iMotion² enabled and disabled from their official website here.

No, its not just the display brightness. You can see the differences between each powerplan in Power Options Advanced Settings.
Yes it still use iGPU. Check image below to get the idea on how BACON work.

Btw, BACON is what AMD call for their autoswitching feature.

I saw some guy said got one shop at lowyat selling for RM79

No.. 100% = battery life end.

When the CPU temp reach 100c it will throttled down to prevent damage.

Added on July 24, 2011, 5:14 pmLOL.. too busy trolling until forgot which thread i read it before.

Btw, how is your 6114TX temps?

This post has been edited by Acid_RuleZz: Jul 24 2011, 05:14 PM

You'll see wear level varied everytime you recharge.

The performance will drop when throttled down.

Yes. Side effect.. maybe the components around it will degrade faster.

Other 6114TX owner also having high temps like you? If only you better go to HP service centre to check. Previously joonwei sent his laptop to repair his speaker and it took 1 week. reevephon sent to service centre to repair his keyboard and it only took 30mins i think. Applying thermal paste is a quick job.. maybe u'll get the laptop on the same day.

on traybar right click BatteryCare>Show>Detailed Information.

Yea.. i use BatteryCare to check my wear level.

open HP Support Assistant to check.

Added on July 24, 2011, 8:14 pmRight click on desktop and click Configure Switchable Graphic.
If you can manually choose between High-Performance GPU and Power-Saving GPU mean u have 6001TX.

You can try stressing the CPU with wPrime while monitoring the temps..
I completed 1024M run in 5mins with max temp reach 92c.

w00tz.. what problem u having?

bad luck for you.

i don't know and don't want to speculate whether they'll replace it with a recon unit or not.

click Set Thread Count and put 8 and my coolsense setting is at performance.

Added on July 25, 2011, 6:13 amI saw few guys with 6100TX in NBR forum get new windows update for their 6770M graphic and it has new option in the Switchable Graphic section. Still need to wait for the BIOS from HP for it to work properly tho... but this is a good progress.




For those who still don't know how to configure the switchable graphic can refer to this article from HP.
