The bios flash did work, i have a unlocked acer 5739g bios,

Now for the good new so far, I used SetFsb to overclock my T6600

Stock T6600 2.20/200*4=800

i am now overclocked at 3.0/266*4=1066

If the overclock works for 2 hours strong i will be posting screenshot's of the overclock and a guide on how to do it.

Now that is amazing!! If it seems to be stable I also may overclock my T6600 untill I figure out whats up with my Quad core or untill I get a T9900!

Great news, and if you make a turorial I'll add it up to first post. I just can't belive there is only 4 5739G users at NBR, as far as we have seen

REP added.


Ahhhhhhhhhhh, just orderd my self a new keyboard with Turkish layout. I also did find a bluetooth module I think I'm going to pick off. It does not cost much and it is one of the few upgrades I can do beside what I allready have on list...

Success!!!!!! Muhahahahahahahahaha.
I shall be back. With some more juicy news. One thing for sure is that the CPU idles at 44, 48-56c lol two temp for two cores lol.
E8435 is awesome so far.
Further testing shows that the CPU heats uptown as high as 90. And CPU Windows 7 index score is 6.6 lol.

so i would like to give some update's to my earlier post. i ran orthos for 2 hours, played a few games, the overclock is stable. here are some screenshot's, I used the unlocked bios and setfsb tool for overclocking.

2 hours test ran with temps

Very impressive. If you would make a guide on how to flash the BIOS that would be great. My E8435 is one hot beast, literally. So, undervolting it would be awesome for this puppy.
I need to replace my heatsink. The is E8435 is very hot on load. Couldnt run bad company 2 for more than 5 minutes it just shut down.

You can use throttlestop to undervolt a CPU without bios mods.

akbisw, how did you get it to work?!

[Mimino]

guys, so if we were to replace our stock cards with an upgraded ones, would we have to do a bios update for that card as well?

akbisw, how did you get it to work?!

All I did was I dissembled it completely and dropped the processor in. When I booted up windows installed drivers for E8435 and I restarted again and everything was fine except the temp on load. I cant run any games as it takes the temp over a 100C in 5 minutes or less.
I checked the service manual and Acer issued two different power bricks with this model. I have the 90 watt version, you probably have the same which leads me to believe that it has enough power to run this processor.
Also since the architecture of this processor is EXACTLY the same as the T series and it is the same processor as T9900, I knew that it would work.
But quad core processor is a different beast.
What exactly happens when you plug in your quad?

Btw throttlestop worked somewhat in my favor.

You may need the vbios? I dunno tbh, I think you'll have better luck asking over here: Acer MXM Models and Cards
