I havnt removed the white wire, Ill do that next. How do you remove it? Do you cut it or does it unplug.

Dl a different temp monitor and looks like this one registers my temp little higher. Im going to try it on while playing a game.

Ok, I been playing wow at ultra setting for over 20min and cpu ranges from 56-86c using real temp gt 3.60. Gpu temp topped out at 71c.

Those temprautres are still rather good!! I would not suggest do that, imagne you want to watch a movie and your fan is 100% all the time, I would go crazy.

I want to upgrade my 5739g's T6600 to T9550 for, maybe better gaming performance. Since it costs me much to afford a new chip, I wonder if there are any noticeable boost in gaming performance when replacing a T6600 with a T9550. Especially to whoever owns a 5739g equipped T9550 chip, please help me, friends.

You would get a performance increase. You're L2 is twice as much, and you're clocked higher. No dubt Feel free to ask if there is anyting you wonder.

Well, but you said that the Q9100 would not work on our laptop or I'm wrong?

Dude, I'm so sorry, I ment X9100. I always do that typo. REP added.

It's very kind of you to answer me so quickly tunay. If my memory serves me well, the T6600 has only 2MB L2 cache, while T9550 has 6MB, which means triple much more. Some guys told me to upgrade the GPU first, then the CPU since CPU improves only overall performance (applications in Windows, multitasking), while GPU truly increases gaming performance (the frames-per-second). What do ya think tunay.

It really depends on what you are going to use your laptop for.

I would say, if you upgrade your GPU now, you CPU will be way to weak to handle what your GPU can, so you will be somewhat limited.

But if you're like me, use Photoshop, Sony Vegas PRO, multitasking etc. I would say CPU is the way to go for you.

Also, don't forget that, if you get very bad results in games, it is very very easy (it takes 3 steps) to overclock your GPU a bit. And don't be worried, I bet over 90% of NBR users overclock their GPUs.

It also depends on what games you play, if you play for example games like GTA IV, your CPU is atleast most important as your GPU.. Same goes for Black Ops. But most games are GPU demanding, that's somewhat true.

I'm still using GT 130M and with overclock it does really well for my use. But, as I have said before, I do not game so much anymore, so I'm more focused on CPU and my RAM. Currently, I'm lost trying to get a stable FSB of 1333Mhz. I got my parts today, and my Acer is up and running again more then 1 month of just collecting dust. I'll let you all know the result.


However, if you still is unsure what to do; Open task manger, leave it at CPU tab and start gaming, somewhat in middle of game do Alt + Tab and see how much of your CPU is eaten. That will give somewhat a idea of how much your CPU can improve your gaming (and overall performance).

o.O nik 7 you make me jealous sir! Nice going with the OC. im getting a 240m soon will let you know how it goes!!

What happned to your 6770M?

[Nik 7]

Thanks for the rep Tunay , and I hope that you too can get the X9100 because I tell you, it's a real bomb! However, probably futher I'll buy a nice 6770M, and after I will be in place for at least another 3 years ...

Hehe, no problem, well deserved

I'll only get it if 1333Mhz goes stable. I do not game on my laptop anymore, and it will just be useless for me as T9900 is more then enough for the moment.

My laptop is up and running again, really flying this time

I'll a album with pictures, but keep in mind that my modifications isin't done, yet

[tuηay]

Okay, so, my Acer is up and runing again with just one of the modifications done.

Beside that, I've got my self new set of RAM sticks and a Solid State Drive. For futher look at the photo album I've created.

I also wonder guys, how many of you use Facebook? I might create a FaceBook group for future picture uploads.

Update:

Just had to post this, I've disconnected the AC in order to drain my battery to 0 for calibrating as it has been sitting and so randomly used for last time. My laptop reported amazing 2.5 hours the time I unpluged it, and now, 2 hours and 10 minutes later, it still reports 15 minutes to go!!!! And guess what? The profile is set to High Performance and brightness is on full! Last, in class I got about 4 hours of this laptop but that was with Powersaver profile and minimum brightness. I'd never got 2 hours on battery on High Performance before.

I have been surfing on Facebook, replied some therads here on NBR, listed to music on YouTube all the way. Outlook, Skype, Kasperksy PURE, everything is running.

This is just too good to be true.

Many thanks tunay. You're so kind and helpful. I've been successful in flashing bios and boosting the FSB of the T6600. How can I OC my HD4570 as you said above, please give me some instructions or the threads on this topic ? And could u please give me your Yahoo Messenger or Skype for further discussion in your spare time ?

Nik,
If you're going to buy a 6770M, I do not recommend buying from this guy. I sent mine off to get exchanged on September 28th and he still says he hasn't received it. I contacted the people that run the site and they say they can't do anything about it since the payment has been released. Just a heads up.
