comparing AMD to Nvidia..

AMD is very overclockable.. thats why there is a big difference..

I wish to get stock results thou..

going over factory default.. there must be a reason behind they do it this way?

overclock, heat, power consumption, reduced lifetime? hardware stress?

hmm.. I doubt current chip qualities are getting better. This factor is barring me from doing OC. and with the temperature in Malaysia, it just provides more heat.

For AMD's R&D strategy, they roll out low end chips and start building it up higher end ones. The quality of chips are supposedly getting better but no one knows how much they can take so they're built with reduced clock due to the fact its built in smaller chasis to accommodate the heat and power draw. I do OC my HD4570 too last time but it has its limits and one of my friend follow mine and his burnt but luckily still in warranty.

Nvidia's R&D strategy, they roll out high end GC models and slow downgrading into lower end ones. So most of the time the chips have their best potential and minimum OC chance. This would explain why your HD5650 can OC into as much as GT555m speed.

So I prefer to stick to its default if possible. Only OC when needed. Thats is why i prefer to see stock benchmark results rather than OC'ed results.. I wouldnt wanna stress my GPU all the time OC'ed to its max potential. Rather I'd like it to run at a safe margin let it last longer.

I have some real good laptop history to start with for the past years..

idk, But as far as switching em, as long as I dont rugi but I get extra performance. Who would mind?

You sound as if overclocking has no effect on systems at all. I've done it the correct way but I did not get any problem but unfortunately, GPU burnt happened to my friend. It depends on luck you see. Your system is designed to run on its on temperature. Therefore, they tend to set a safer margin for users. Only advanced users tend to breach it and maximize its potential. There is a risk in doing so and its lucky you have not had problem.

The way I see it. Overclocking stress the chip more for the way its designed. When they limit it to that core clock, I'm pretty sure something is done on the chip itself. Marketing strategy. I dont understand why they would wanna roll out lower end graphics when they're all based on the same chip and capable of achieving higher end speeds. From factory chips are produced and not all are identically same. Im sure AMD or Nvidia did testings on the chip before assembling it and setting up their clock speeds. And from there, I see good chips get to handle higher clock speeds while not-so-good ones get lower clock speeds. And from there comes out the variant.

I did some OC on GTX260m on G51VX before. I end up having artifacts and GPU failure. Bluescreen everytime I tried to play game. But lucky again its still under warranty. You might say Im not doing it right? But I have had stable performance and problem free until 1 month plus later it started. I guess its just my bad luck again.

Like you've said.. How do I know if my system can take it? While same question goes to you.. How would you know if your system can take it? and how long can it last?

For me, I guess its more of a luck.. if you OC but you dont get problem. Means you've got a good hardware. Whereas some people just get faulty laptops upon purchasing

@ngkhanmein

rather then laughing your ass off to my stupidity, why not provide some useful info for me to learn eh?

p/s: you have agreed to transfer 2k for me right?

Lee can be witness for it. lol.

Its around 80 degrees IIRC.. IDK man.. its running prolong 80 degrees causing it to burnt? bad chip? You tell me

I dont see cases where GPU is burnt right away after overclocking. It only happens after usage..

Even producing the same chip with same nm, the chips will not be perfectly tuned to the speed wanted. Therefore, they tone down to lower frequencies which leads to lower end graphics. But when you OC, do you risk having the chip over-work and result in problems?

Artifacts and BSOD did not occur for the first month. Again, I have no idea why it would work for the 1st Month but fails me after that. I dont recall upgrading its drivers. Temperature wise, you should know GTX260m dont run cool? for me case averaged around 90 degrees. sometimes it reaches 100 degrees which I'll then stop gaming. This leads me to thinking that OC does have prolonged effect, its just a matter of time when it start showing problems. Like wise People do get artifacts, BSOD even they dont OC. Luck is not on their side. Unfortunately, I OC-ed my GPU and problem arises. I guess you cant really blame me for that. Its becoming a subjective matter for different users.

I think its kinda pointless we argue.

We had different experience and our thinking is kinda diff. No point telling each other whos right or wrong? We both have our own stand.

use MSI Afterburner if you wish to overclock..

I do not have GT555m with me eh bro.. haha.. why not you sponsor me then I show you?

my wallet thick.. but all hutang and receipts.. haha..

Added on August 10, 2011, 11:23 pmI shall be modest.. GT555m is good enuf.. I wouldnt mind a GT540m also.. haha

Malaysia sets all come with subwoofer priced at 2799 with i5 proc, 3699 i7 proc and BD Rom

If you are referring to my price speculation. Its wrong..

Added on August 11, 2011, 8:49 pmwhich shop can see see eh? got display units?

There is prob only one famous Uni in Perlis which is UniMap? or UUM only..

I have a few friend there too..

Paiseh

Techhypermart sometimes sell stuffs really cheap.. its a good website to check out.

They sell HP carepacks at a very low price.. prob lowest I've seen.

Nice cooler with HDD dock

performance tested?

artice cool F-12 Pro?

I think Redcom is pretty good in their stock.

And in Ipoh, You need to know which shop to go other than yik foong..

PC depot is a good choice as well..

YikFoong has a Asus Booth, they are quite updated. Did you try asking them?

I dont rmb if its 2nd floor or 3rd floor.. its at a corner in between the red com shops. Its authorized Asus seller. Its not really a shop but more like a big booth that displays all asus products.

Its definitely a SATA III supported lappy.

Its intel's sandy bridge comes with HM65 chipset supporting SATA 3
