QUOTE(avengers88 @ Jul 12 2011, 11:11 PM) Guys . Coolermaster U3 or U2 is more suitable for cooling down the DV6 ? I think U2 will be a bit too tight for DV6 ? Anyone tried before? Wanna get a good cooling tool for the DV6 . I think most of them are using U3. I am considering one too..  |

QUOTE(Bboy4Life @ Jul 13 2011, 10:24 AM) Does the cooling effect differ veri much from using U3 ? I think it'll make much difference when you are gaming as the left palm rest can get quite warm during gaming. I'm currently using notepal infinite and although it has one fan only, I still can feel the difference when gaming with and without it. |

QUOTE(avengers88 @ Jul 13 2011, 02:31 PM) Guys, I am still confused. Do you look at the Value point , or the Maximum point? Do we not look at value point since that is the current temp ? Sorry but its a bit misleading LOL need a fairly good comparison. I think they took pictures before...but cant recall whether it's v1 thread or this...@rurushu , yeah I am a bit worried U3 is big, but wouldnt the dimension of length on the DV6 longer than the length in U2 ?? Please let me know when ur DV6 arrive maybe can take a pic and show us the DV6 on the U2. For those who have U3 with DV6 can share pic also. Might help in the first page |

QUOTE(louisfjh @ Jul 13 2011, 04:05 PM) but i ned to do 3d stuff like autocad or 3d sketchup... but it still using normal graphic card only.. didnt auto change to radean hd6770.. abit lag when i draw 3d @@ If you are using 6114, it's auto switching, i don't think there is option to manually switched. So, some programs like photoshop, it will still be running on internal instead of discrete.so i think i ned manualy change @@ |

QUOTE(louisfjh @ Jul 13 2011, 04:35 PM) actually i not so understand... I think for now, you can only use internal to draw 3D. Hopefully a patch comes out soon and you'll be able to harness ur discrete graphics... so mean only the list in the link can switch or wat??? then no idea i can draw 3d with radean hd6700 video card??? @@ |

QUOTE(rurushu @ Jul 26 2011, 10:06 PM) Hey Guys, today i went to the HP service centre (took me ages to reach there even though using GPS Somebody should compile a list of shortcuts...hehehe,I just learn of this Fn+b shortcut today....  ) and i reported to them regarding my dv6-6114tx's overheating issue. I requested them to reapply the thermal paste for me as suggested by members in this lounge. I managed to get my report to be processed as "express" because the service assistant told me that because my lappy is new (of course it's new!!!! not even 1 month old!!!) so i get the "express" service. Then after roughly 2 hours, the technician called me and said the GPU fan is "very poor" and he will replace it with new unit.... Then i waited for it to be done and at around 5.12pm, it is done and my receipt there stated they have changed the heat sink and new fans. I was abit  because i thought my lappy only suffers the high temp while playing crysis 2 is due to the poorly applied thermal paste.... but it turned out to be the heat sink and fans.... Total time consumed to send-in + process + retrieve = around whole day Started from around 11.30am+ and ended with collection of lappy at around 5.12pm Now replying this message using my dv6. Going to try Crysis 2 later, will monitor the temps again. Hopefully the overheating issues is over now.... A piece of friendly advice to those who think their new dv6 (regardless of what model) is kinda hot or the temperature is quite "abnormal" or swayed quite far from the members in this lounge, please sent it to HP service centre immediately for inspection. Dont wait because the longer you wait, the more your lappy will suffer. This is just my personal advice, peace everyone  Added on July 26, 2011, 10:10 pm can, with Fn + b |

QUOTE(RiverDrifte @ Jul 27 2011, 02:00 PM) Things to check: I have done steps 2 and 3 but according to open hardware monitor, with mafia running, the 6770 is running but the display is still stuttering. I'm pretty sure it's not caused by the auto-switching as in my case, the switching works. Any other possibilities?1) Windows power option > preferable High Performance / HP Recommended 2) CCC > Power play enabled, check with current power scheme/plan > change to maximum performance if is not. 3) Leave Mafia 2 open, goto CCC > configure switchable graphic > look for the mafia 2 executble and change it to High Performance.
