Its on the left side..

Its around 50 C normally and 70 - 80 degrees when playing game.

Anyway guys my fan is really loud even when i am just watching youtube. It spins really loud. I am afraid that my fan is already dusty.

I was told that my case

-- ordered a dv6 from HP Online Malaysia on 24th July 2011

the carepack must be registered within 7 days... now my only bet is the 7 days count does not include saturday and sunday... going to call HP Centre to verify this tomorrow morning...

sad... bought a laptop with warranty usable for one year only...

is there any warranty extension that is applicable for laptop under warranty?? instead of this carepack which requires 7 days validation...

Edit: want to ask a freaking stupid question...
HP carepack requires registration within 7/10 days(whichever reliable) from the date of laptop purchase... But... My dv6 might be reaching in a month's time... So how is it possible for me to register the carepack???

Just tried transferring 9,906 files (videos files, PDF files, audio files & some Microsoft Office files) totaling 154GB via USB 3.0 (left port) from my DV6 to my WS Passport.

Speed gradually increased from 5MB/s and stabilized at 26MB/s.

What can I do to achieve a much higher speed? I am disappointed.

Anyway, does anyone know what will happen to my Microsoft Office if I get a replacement unit?

i got DV-6.so far so good.

Did u uninstall your usb3.0 software ? (preinstalled bloatware.)
My usb 2.0 external is getting 27-32mb constantly .no matter how big/small the file is ,when plugged at usb 3.0 port.

I'm pretty sure I didn't uninstall it.

But just to be sure, what is the name of the software?

I'm getting 19MB/s now.

External HDD I'm using: Western Digital My Passport Essentials.

noob here, how do you check the transfer speed?
I just got my WD 3.0 HDD too yesterday....

You sure its USB 3.0? Does it have the "SS" logo?

Transfer files from your laptop to the HDD. Click on Show Details and there you go.

gosh..... i am having the same problem too.... only around 11Mb/s-20Mb/s...

Acid. Am proud owner of Dv6001 from mobility square at 3129 with 8gb ram

pc expo melaka selling at RM 3000, 8GB, 3 years warranty

Is it the HDD or the USB 3.0 in our laptops that's giving us problems. X.X

Is your WD harddisk usb cable male head (blue coloured plastic) and labelled with SS ?

the software is renesas electronic usb 3.0 host controller driver.

yes... and its plugged to the 3.0 USB port....

before blaming the USB 3.0 not working please make sure your external hard drive are supporting USB 3.0 speed.

Added on July 31, 2011, 4:19 pmand also for warranty issue for these who purchase online, just patiently wait for HP to activate your full warranty after you getting your laptop, it will take around 2 week / 10 WORKING days to proceed that, and you also will get the invoice / letter after 2 week / 10 WORKING days with a all details of what you purchase from HP including the carepack warranty.

seriously, you're not helping at all....

pls open your eyes and see which part of the drive does not support 3.0?

You need to send individual and large files to see the true speed. if there are multiple and tiny files, it has to keep starting and stopping again and again so it never gets fast

I am not sure why isnt the transfer speed as high as mine. try transfer smaller volume of files , 20-40gb once or zip the small files first =)
