Sunny's G51VX-RX05 Review

[Quadzilla]

Just for Kicks and giggles.. CPU overclocked at 2.4ghz!!! Does Setfsb only overclock one core and not the other? Or do i have the wrong pll.. ? I am still using the stock driver and not the newer one.. I'll get around that soon once i get the file.

SETFSB raises both cores Hard to tell if your using the correct PLL but from what i am seeing everything looks Kosher . I am a little concerned though about stuffing a Quadcore in there except maybe a Q9000 since even at 2.4 your temps are already getting high and with 4 cores a blazing its going to really spike the temps.

Well Asus themselves has announced a G51 with the q9000 and the q9100 so i don't see why i cant do it.. Unless they have a better cooling system in those models, guess time will tell..

[Quadzilla]

Ya the CPU heatsink atleast on this model does look rather tiny and they could very well have another for the Quadcore models. Strange that they underclocked the 260m though(although after seeing the temps i kinda see why) , this card has so much potential since its a 9800gtx rebranded and is one very powerful card. .

Is there a tool to overclock the gpu? i tried ntune but the laptop crashes one i open that up.. I prolly wont get around overclocking the gpu once i can cool it down better..

@sunnyc90 see with your cpu overclocked, the gpu is not so bottlenecked anymore... that faster the cpu and or more cores the less bottlenecked that gpu will be and we will get some way high scores, we need a highspeed quad to throw in and a good cooler for it somehow..

[Quadzilla]

Download Ntune 6.03(google it ) that one wont crash.

ntune 6.05 system util only
and newer video card drivers, havent tried it myself yet but that is what i needed to overclock 9600m gt on hp laptop

I noticed that too.. The gpu ran cooler when i overclocked the cpu.. Strange..

You may want to play something like crysis for awhile and mid game ALT-tab back to your desktop then reset HW monitor and see if the temp is staying at 90+ degrees or if its just hitting that temp then the fans are finally coming into play and its cooling the card properly . Macbooks do something similar where the fans come very late to the party then go full blast .

theres modded .inf file make sure it goes under c:\nvidia\winvista64\185.85\is\display\

download 185.85 whql mobile from nvidia.com and run setup it will extract files into those folders up there and try to find yer vid card right away which it will say it cant then cancel, copy the modded .inf file..

this is how i installed:

uninstall all nvidia display stuff from windows vista program removal
reboot
let system fully get into vista desktop
run driver sweeper 1.5.5 from guru3d.com
select nvidia display and analyze and clean
do it twice just for good measures
reboot again
then run nvidia installer with the modded. inf file and wala u got newer drivers!
