I got myself a V3415AU from all it hypermarket, forgot to ask whether they sell extra battery 9-cells.

Anyway, anyone knows whether lowyat sells them and how much ?
The battery drains quite fast IMO, unlike my dell inspiron, it has a software configuration to reduce power consumption when power is not plugged. I am sure its not a big deal since these remedy can be customised.

yeah batt drained up freakin fast lol
especially when wifi in ON

hi..wanna ask sumthing, i just bought a compaq V3616AU laptop..i was wondering can my laptop use the drivers at the 1st page or i have to download them at other places?? can sum1 tell me where to download ??

i think the heat problem is also one of the reason that leads to the fast batery draining problem...any idea????

my gf's lenovo y400 very keng, no heat problem at all, and the batery life is ofcoz better compare to my V3415AU...

no one complain about heat problem??? anyone here to share??

heat for me still ok
just the processor part (upper left) kinda hot
other places are cool
can feel the heat from my left leg

never feel hot on the lower left?? the HDD part place??

never try burn DVD and see? when u burn DVD, check out the heat....untill more than 70C...

hmmm will try later
btw, wats the official software to check temp for compaq notebook

Nope, dont have any problem with the heat maybe havent stress it yet. But I do realise there are less ventilation exhaust compare to my dell.


Battery , anyone knows where to get 'em ?????????????

my proc around 40degree idle
when doing benchmark, it will go until 50+

y the right speaker sound is better than left speaker? right 1 can tahan high volume, y the left cant? v3614au

altec lansing kononnya =.="

means the sound will break on left speaker?

V3000 series AMD user reporting in, sir

currently my processor multiplier is 6
the default will be 9
which means 9*166.3mhz i will get 1.5ghz, which is my default clockspeed
now i am @ 6x A.K.A underclocked
must update the bios first only can do modification on clockspeed?
or got any software can just adjust clockspeed in windows

din know much about intel, need a specific software name thx

abit break.

Dynamic Front Side Bus Switching to save power during low utilization

use notebook hardware control...you can google it...it's a freeware....


yupe, less ventilation exhaust, that's why i say i feel like poke some hole under the lappy..hahahahah...for the batery, i think there are some ppl in this forum selling, probably bcoz their lappy stolen or something...


if not mistaken, we can check 3 temperatures....one is HDD temp, another is CPU temp and the other one is GPU(using nvdia nview or something)...

i also notice that not long ago...it's something like, the left side handles the bass, and the right side handles the treble...i dont think it's a fault...but overall, speaker still good compare to other brand's lappy...

welcome tai kor!!

onli the most left speaker,just left side of the power button.
well...the right side superb sound.

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer -
The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) -
Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination to match the instantaneous user performance need. This package is a user friendly localized software installation of the driver designed for end-users. This driver supports AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86 and x64 Editions.

so far not much problem with my 3614AU. don't really feel the heat also (but i havent try burning dvd ). Battery life is ok too. i can watch a near 2hours movie on battery. of course without wifi on. I use NHC to do dynamic switching, so that really helped.

the couple of 'bugs/flaws' i found are
-LAN port a bit loose
-Need to mute the speaker then only plug in headphone, else both output will have sound.

btw what's the difrence with dynamic switching and batery optimized?
