high end home audio speakers... You mean Bose, right?

Sennheiser HD598>fiio e9>xonar dx. now that is a real audio setup (i realize the e9 is an entry level amp, but does well). as far as headphones go..
 
Alright well im out of this thread. Good Luck Chris.

Thanks man and yeah I appreciate it. I like ur username since I am a fan of AMD Phenom rigs since they're surprisingly amazing. :)

As soon as I get a dremel I'll dial in the aesthetics of the holes and make them purty lol
 
I have never creased with laughter this much at reading some of these comments :D
Seriously, why no CPU/GPU-z screen shots though? Also posting the same image twice, and acting like a white Chris Brown or something is fun by all means :D
All that aside, if OP is truthful, this stuff is amazing (though i have to agree, those pieces of plastic are there to keep big chunks of things OUT, regardless of 4,700 rpm from a tiny little fan made of fairy cakes).

GPU-z screenshot plz

Yes I wouldn't mind seeing a GPU-Z shot either but dude says he has increased the performance in-game while maintaining decent temps. And I can also tell this isn't just a bunch of bs. Sounds like success to me, generally-speaking.
 
I gotta pick up a 2gb flash drive so i can recover the bios first and yes I'm confirm everything with my cpu overclock from 2.4ghz to 2.6ghz ddr2-800 at ddr2-867, 7150m from 425mhz to 555mhz with voltage decrease in 2d at 0.86v and no increase in voltage in 3d just 1.2v and a 555mhz core clock. I flashed the vga bios and since the 2d clock is 100mhz and the boot up clock is 350mhz is wasn't stable since 0.86v can't power 350mhz. So i decreased the bootup clock to 50mhz and left the 0.86v 2d voltage. I also removed the throttle profile all together and only using 2d and 3d.

This is an old video to confirm my load temps just look up top left while you see I'm sitting at 555mhz and temps are 60-65ish. This is before the TL-68 and before the DDR2-800. In this video I'm running 2GB DDR2-667 and a TL-60 2Ghz chip overclocked to 2.5Ghz though. Now I'm running a TL-68 2.4Ghz chip overclocked to 2.6Ghz and 4GB DDR2-800 at DDR2-867 which yielded a solid performance boost.

VV - TL-60 2Ghz @ 2.5Ghz and 7150m at 555mhz 3d clock - VV

No point in copy and pasting your previous information in another reply. Just get back to us when you have those two screen shots. Then we'll all become believers in Chris ;)
Merely saying you can confirm is not enough over the internet nowadays. At least timestamp your picturesif you're going to post them twice with identical paragraphs.
 
I have seen many people in this thread ask to see a GPUZ and it really doesn't take but under a minute to open GPUZ and click the screenshot button. I believe it will autoupload it to TPU for you and give you a link to post here.

Just a thought cause I personally like to see the numbers from stock. I have owned those IGP laptops before and they were dreadfully slow.

Any more crap and infractions will start to flow as freely as vodka during a great party.

Thread cleaned. Back on topic please.
 
Still waitin on thoes CPU-Z and GPU-Z screenshots

I think its taking so long cuz he it trying to search the net for some random screenshots the eather match his system or close to match and then photoshop his info in really how hard is it to push a few buttons to post a screenshot
 
Just take a chill pill guys to be perfectly honest I'm waiting on my paycheck so I can go buy a 2g flash drive and recover the bios on the laptop first. I'd say just relax and later today it should by running and ill get all the media of your hearts desire to prove all the numbers.
 
Running i thought the laptop was running already or did your bios mod actully not work
 
The amount of dedicated video memory worked fine the reason why the laptop won't boot is because of the 350mhz boot up clock and 0.86v is insufficient to power that so I had to reduce the boot up clock to 50mhz and maintain that 0.86v in 2d. I know for sure 0.96v can power that 350mhz boot up clock from it's default 1.1v. I'm trying to get even more efficiency out of the gpu and cooler idle temps.
 
A GPU Clock Should Not Make It SoYou Can't Boot Unless You Really Messed Something up
 
Yeah because if the voltage is too low to power a certain clock then it simply won't work. 350mhz requires 0.96v at the bare minimum and 100mhz 2d can run at 0.86v. However by now reducing the boot up clock to 50mhz it should work at 0.86v. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.
 
I'm GENUINELY interested in the MOD, But obviously only if it's NOT B/S. I'm NOT calling him a liar,,I just have been following the thread for a while, and Still ..........nothing. That's all.

Chris, Good for You if You succeeded in This MOD.
Shame on Me if You didn't.
 
Can't wait for that GPU-Z screenshot. Come on man, it only takes five minutes! :toast:
 
The volt mod isn't gonna happen until probably next week some time. I'm talking about the pencil mod I mean engineers are working on it so I'm not 100% sure if they're going to get the schematics because the board was designed in china but hp may have the schematics as well so I may need to see my engineering friend can try contacting hp to get the schematics. Anyway what I'm working on at the moment is increasing the amount of shared video memory via bios mod from 128MB to 1024MB. I have no reason to believe it won't work. I'm not 100% sure though since no one ever on the face of this planet has ever attempted such a thing so it's all so mysterious.

UMMMMMMMMMM you said on the FIRST page this has already been done and it increased FPS on your end. I am calling complete BS as of now since you are back peddling on what you have already stated.

*UPDATE*
Found the string of where I found 128MB and changed it to 1024MB and now I'm going to make sure the 64MB string is still in tact and try to reintegrate... this stuff is easier than i thought!

*UPDATE*
64MB string is in tact now I'm going to try and reintegrate :)

*UPDATE*
Integration Completed Successfully 1024MB OF SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!!!! OMG THIS IS EXCITING!!!

I might just screw around and test out 1536MB as well!!! LMAO!

thank you :D

I'm just not in a position to say much or prove much at this point so the up side is i'll have all the info later today I'm hoping it's all working. I first modded the bios and then flashed the vga bios and the vga bios is the issue at the moment so I didn't do enough testing as of yet. However the 1024MB value did in fact work since PheonixTool didn't have a problem with the modded STRINGS0.ROM since the hex bits lined up but I obviously changed a value from 128MB to 1024MB. I wish I would have taken a screenshot of the increased dedicated memory but I didn't so I have nothing to say until later today. My accountant is being very slow at paying me and it's driving me crazy.
 
B/S now you have said something is not working but ealier in the thread you said was working so what is it working or not and if it was that easy to mod BIOS files i think everybody would be jumping at it and doing it. And also you said you have engineers from nvidia and such looking in to it i also call that BS cuz i know for a fact they woulden't waste there time on OLD tech such as what you have. And also no engineers other then HP them selfs would have anything to do with this

And also by reading your Previous posts on these forums it sounds like you don't even have the knowledge to even mod your BIOS in the first place especially just about a week ago you said you got someone to mod your bios and it diden't work and asking someone on here to see they could do it so again i say BS

Or is this all just

Please just be honest.
Mistakes happen ALL the time.
 
If he was telling the truth that it all works he would have had GPUz and CPUz screenshots for us right when he could, when it was supposivily working. Fact of the matter is that its not working, and we are all wasting our time.
