Aspire 5315 CPU Step-by-Step Upgrade Guide

[hoggie]

I emailed this site http://www.directron.com/laptopcpu.html
about heat issues with the T83xx/T81xx.
and all they say on this is " on some of the smaller laptops the GPU is in close proximity on some mother boards to the CPU. This has been a problem with some of the older laptops. But with today's technology this issues should have been resolved in the BIOS (fan speed and cut-in temps).
A few manufacturers have BETA BIOS updates but these are BETA so may not be correct at the time or functioning to their correct specification"
just a mobile CPU retailer covering his behind me thinks

when you coming over ?
great idea

i agree hoggie... just doing the CYA routine...

i think the CPU and GPUs are actually located close together to allow the use of one HEATPIPE leading to the fan exhaust...

they try to make it sound like a design problem.. when IMO it's actually a design solution... reducing the amount of HOT METAL inside the PC...

i believe you are correct about the T8300.. acer has yet to sell a laptop based on this mainboard with anything higher than a T8300.. so they haven't updated the BIOS to FULLY support the T9XXX cpus.... while the BIOS does see them correctly... there seems to be heating issues (should be resolved in the future when the CPUs prices drop even lower)

i've not recieved any info about the T8300 or T8100 suffering heating issues,, and i'm sure they would post about problems here... you could send PRIVATE MESSAGES to the two persons i've credited w/ reporting on the T8100/8300 cpus and ask them directly (zedoctor was one of the users)

it also sounds to me like you are looking at the PAN-AM site for BIOS files.. the american site is NEVER up to date...

support.acer-euro.com

that's where most everyone here gets thier drivers and BIOS files... the source of the Ver. 1.42 BIOS is confidential.... but i see ATG put a link up
(good job ATG,, i love the disclaimer BTW)

So currently Acer has T8300 running on same system board but diff model? I would assume then its running Bios 1.40? Back to my original post, does anyone know if the T8300 takes a performance hit compaired to the T7700? Im pretty sure I going with the T8300 anyways unless there is a big performance diff.

Just wanted to report that the 1.42 BIOS made my temperature readings correct again using coretemp ! Yay !
Using 1.34 i was getting temps about 10 11 degrees Celsius .
