xD hey im not complaining i rather have 1 power brick with laptop even tho i cant charge battery or change brightness. I dont move laptop anywhere just stays in room. This wont work with battery in laptop btw. Also in first boot in to laptop with psu first time connected to laptop i restart laptop. This is because when you first connect laptop runs in normal performance mode (even tho its alrdy set to max)like if you were on battery but once restarted it will be good. Sadly i gotta do this each time i connect psu to laptop so i just keep it plugd into laptop even while off so i wont need to restart when i boot in.

Ok this is pretty crazy.

I just earthed the signal cable and I ran Furmark with full overclock and it sustained 310-320 without any throttling.

My performance mode stays at high performance.

Brightness controls do not work though. Which kinda sucks...

TIME FOR SOME OVERCLOCKS

Lol thats awsome. Are you using the custom 480psu?

[Stealth55]

This mean i could use a modded pc psu.

[Douse]

Yeah just using the 480 watt psu.

Overclocked the cards to 800/950 @ 1.1v and CPU clocks to 24x @105/95 and experienced no throttling in Vantage.

Although, Vantage isn't overly demanding in terms of power consumption as it doesn't really max out the GPU and CPU at the same time. Most it drew was 300 watts, but there was definitely NO throttling.

Will run 3Dmark11 now and see.

Hey douse. How did you do the 480? Can you make te 480 into one case? Pm me im pretty interested.

Wow nice gratz i cant OC cpu much heat issues.

So ran 3DMark11, nearly hit 7000 P6902

Combined test saw sustained 310 watts with no throttling.

Stealth, when I have my CPU clocked this high I have the window open behind the laptop..... which is 7 degrees out :P

Pretty crazy that this is working, it doesn't make any sense. In BIOS where is normally shows a 240 watt adapter, there is no value. Perhaps this really has stopped the BIOS from trying to keep the PSU around 240 watts

Hey douse. How did you do the 480? Can you make te 480 into one case? Pm me im pretty interested.

I used Aarpcard's design, and no it is not in one case. There is literally 2 x 240 watt PSU's linked together using rectifier diodes....so not very portable... If you do want something more portable a 330watt brick will be a better solution for you.

[Nmanfred]

I wish we could use the 330 and have it function like the 240 but supply 330 watts:/

Lol i see but my heat sink rly just doesnt sit well on cpu idk whats issue ive tried everything x23(which has reach 100c on long play) is highest i can go but i just like to stay at x19-x21 for gaming.
