I just play Skyrim for 1h+ with max CPU temp = 83c with TurboBoost limited to x23 multiplier and max GPU temp = 78c in non-aircond room.
I guess u just had a really bad thermal paste application.

No worries about ME3 in dynamic but you gonna have problem with 3DsMax since it use OpenGl? You can't use dGPU on OpenGl with Dynamic switching or is it 3DsMax can use D3D as well?

i alre sent to ipoh SC this morning, and let them know that i'm going back on Monday, if possible, finish by then.
They say they will try their best, hopefully

well, i think so...
when take back the laptop, i think i should play game in a limited time then. and also need ur consultation

???i'm not too knowledgeable in the hardware dept. well, as long as it is using ATI card i dont think it is a problem for 3dsmax, coz before this incident, 3ds max seem ok with the ati card

well, everything can only know after i get back my laptop, as they said "we dont keep stock, we have to order, depending which part we need to repair ur laptop" so most likely they will order according to my laptop original mobo series? hopefully

heyy! are you guys playing dota 2 using steam or what? if yes add me acapahmad. still noob btw.

Maybe u can give them a call and confirm it because you 100% can't use AMD GPU with 3DsMax if u're on Dynamic switching(6100 series mobo).

If i recall correctly, Steam is the only platform for Dota 2.
I play with AI most of the time.

haha nvm lah. im noob. later add me ya? my id for steam is acapahmad. and for dota 2 is Gazet

Sorry for the late reply...
The Answer is : Simple, I didn't. The thickness of this caddy when fit into the bay is precise and it holds it in tightly. furthermore is convenient for me to remove the drive with one less screw to remove. However it's best to secure the HDD in the caddy with the provide screws so that it won't move up down, especially I like to put the laptop on Standby then dump into the bag.

Just get it. Its awesome

I'm just wondering why HP has discontinued the DV7-6c00TX and DV6-6168TX. Any idea, anyone?

probably a refresh model is out.

What kind of bagpack and cooler do you guys use?
And do you guys use screen protectors and keyboard protectors? I'm thinking of getting some.

yes, agreed with you. thinking getting it for new lappy... hehehe!

i'm open for suggestion...

i just use those cheap cooler for rm20 and re-use those monitor stand to make it like this. dual monitor setup.

cool! is keyboard protector not good at all? what about others opinions?

well, keyboard protectors helps in preventing unwanted things enter yor keyboard but it also blockade of air intake via the keyboard. u can try this, put a piece of paper on top of yor keyboard and use it normally, test the temperature of yor laptop. compare it the result. than u will noe wat i mean.

i see what u mean. thanks for the info.

I hate using a messenger bag for my laptop, puts a shitload of weight on one shoulder. Which is...painful.
So yeah. I'm thinking of getting the U3. Since I can adjust where I want the fans to be.

Latest HP model for Pc gaming? Any recommendations?

I'm also still using the hp bag that come together with the laptop. Getting nothing as accessories yet.
