Damn, after reading for days now on this forum, I just couldn´t wait anymore and ordered a 6770m.
When all parts arrive and are hopefully working, I´ll have my 5739g running a T9900 / Ati 6770m / Crucial m4 128gb / 4gb Samsung Ram / self-built notebook cooler (still waiting for parts to arrive)
Also ordered these to keep the chipset a few °C cooler http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...BL._AA300_.jpg

These do work in the Aspire 5739g, aren´t they?

where did you order the 6770m?

ram should work.
does your cooling system change the portability of the laptop (do you have to cut something in order that cooling system fits?)

[oohayrr]

I´ve ordered the 6770m @ AliExpress - Buy directly from China for just 138$. I am aware of shipping taking up to 30 days O_o but I just couldn´t resist. I´ve read on this forum of several successful orders as well as some problems with returning shipments. But no risk no fun

The cooling system is more of an regular notebook cooler like this one http://www.casemouse.com/cooler/cool...-nbc-k3210.jpg . It´s totally independent from the laptop itself but is still custom-built for an aspire 5739g (positions of fans etc.). It features 2x 120mm Corsair fans and continuously adjustable control for each fan. I also adress the issue of dust being blown into the system by installing several dust filters. As the openings of the laptop are not ideal for airflow I plan to keep the bottom off of the laptop when playing games etc. This shouldn´t be a problem as the cooler fits the notebook perfectly without any big openings anywhere. But I´ll see about that, when the real test comes in form of all the new parts But I don´t want to upload pictures until it´s finished, bad luck etc

What a surprise, my T9900 was delivered today! One week before ETA It´s already running Primestable @stock voltage and undervolted @1.0625V.
Max temps hwmonitor shows are 87°C @1.0625V, but hangs mostly around 84-85°C running Prime. Is this temperature ok?
As soon as I get home again, I will try gaming-temps.

yayyy

[bernida]

nice, you are having pretty much the same temps as me
(you are talking about THRM, do you?)

if so, temps are very well. Now without any mods, you wont get it cooler, so you actually have the best result that you can get atm

[oohayrr]

That's a good sign. And as the thermal paste has only broken in for about 4h it may be even cooler in a few days
I experienced some bluescreens when starting 3DMark06. Everything else worked fine (Prime, games etc) but just to make sure, I am reinstalling Win7 right now. If these bs still exist I don't really know what to do.

EDIT:

Games, Prim and 3DMark running fine now. But my 3DMark06 score is rather low:
Cpu&Gpu @ stock: 6303 - which only slightly above my score with P7450
Cpu @ stock/Gpu @ 650/900/1350: 7055 (compared to 6630 with P7450.

dont overestimate the whole thing. You still own a Core2Duo System and not Core i, you will get a certain boost, but your system wont perform like a brand new-gen laptop. This is also the reason why I decided not to buy a HD6770M, it may boost things alot, but its not gonna "kick-" like if you buy a brand new laptop.
Getting a T9900 for a P7450 will boost up CPU-heavy tasks, but in gaming (or generally for overall performance) there are only few changes.


oh, wow, i just got 8250p @3dmark06 at my specs...maybe with a 6770m it can reach 9,5-10k or so...

God damn it! I want that videocard. I saw this v-card on ebay for 559.99 US dollars. And here it is for only 139$. I`ll buy it as soon as I`ll have enough money for it.

Ok, understood. Main thing for me is that Diablo3 is running smoothly, which I´ll find out May 15th
How the hell can you get more than 1k points more @ 3DMark06 than me? Any ideas?
EIDT: I think I found the cause. Are you running 3DMark06 on your laptop display or on a second monitor? I didn´t even think of that, because I´m always using my 26" monitor. But when running 3DMark06 on my laptop only without the other monitor, it reaches 8230 points

As I said, I couldn´t resist either when I saw the price

Hi guys. I just got a 5739g, installed a P8700 and a HD6770m. Everything went well, Arctic Silver 5 was applied and all appeared well.

Since putting Windows 7 on it, I soon discovered the fan will not respond properly, it works fine until I load the CPU up with Prime95 for example. Then the fan mysteriously stops. HWmonitor also shows that the Motherboard temp drops from 40-50 degrees c to anywhere from 0-20 degrees.

The fan will then do a super fast on and off, as in revving up and shutting off again for a couple seconds. This means the temps go through the roof and I shut prime down near 80 degrees.

I thought I would force the fan on with the GPU BIOS but seems that it wasn't wanting to flash correctly, so bottled it. I have also tried SpeedFan, but nothing appears to force the fan on when I want. Would prefer not to pull a cable to force it on, but if thats what it takes, I'd consider it.

Just to be clear the GPU is fine, and Furmark will push it to an expected 80 degrees, on standard settings. The CPU will sit average at 35-40 degrees. But as I want to play a few games with this I want to know that the fan will work properly. Apologies for the long post. Want to give as much info as I can.
