K53TA.. The best deal ever... could be!

i fixed my problem

haha thanks man what is this running ur clock speed at? and how highs to high for temp? and is it that simple plot in perameters an hit ok ?? also if it doesnt work, whats the best thing to moddify it to or rather what setting? ex. undervoltage more or less?

That gives me 2.3 ghz

My temps run about 76 gaming an hour or so.

When you set it just hit apply unless you use a little bat file (found in this thread) you will have to reboot for the settings to go back to normal. I avoided this by setting a stock profile I can change.

This may help

well it worked lol thanks, playing saints row the third didnt overly heat it up., was running at 67ish. but i did notice a bit of weird unstableness after i exited the game, i went an tried to do a cpu score, an it said windows explorer shut down or what ever error, an then was still up around 65on the ttcl, mouse movement was chopy, is fine now, but i also noticed the powergear app switched to entertainment and the start menu bar was blue insted of black weird??? anyone else? so i cannot finish the cpu score processe while clocked at this speed, explorer keeps closing, highest temp i did notice was 72....hmm little weird notice the power gear switches automaticaly, an even after the program quit (the cpu score) the menu bar stays stuck blue, as if it was in entertainment setting, try playin with it an then it finaly decided to swtich back....

Hello, im owner of K53TA with A6 on board, and i have some problems with getting crossfire to work.
Im Using Beta Catalyst 12.1 (Tested another too) and afterburner 2.1.0
Bios 209 and Cpu at 2.4 GHz 1.1v
dGPU OC to 710/1110

I cant get some games to work on dGPU.
Games like skyrim, MW3 they work just on iGPU, no matter that CF is on or off. (Low low low FPS)
And games like BF3 act strange...With CF off i get like 38Fps, with CF on i getting like 43FPS (and logo in right top corner) but there are micro lags, and becouse of that game runs like on 15 FPS. While i start game on CF off, and then switch to ON game runs w/o microlags w/o logo at top right corner and with performance of 2 GPUs (43fps)

Usages of GPUs
CF off: dGPU 100% iGPU 0%
CF on: dGPU like 70% iGPU 100%
CF off and then switch: dGPU 100% iGPU jumps from 0 to 100%

Its everything fking strange to me...cant explain it to myself, and im not an newbie.
TY for all help.

First of all... is this computer able to get the bios 209? It doesn't show it as a download option for this computer in the drivers area of the asus website.

just wondering off hand if anyone has any stable running parrameters that they could post, not looking to O.c my laptop to crazy an risk damages, an im new to this not sure if i really want to play around with it an mess it up, i have the asus k53t amd a6 3400@1.4 have upgraded to 8gbs of ram, wit the radeon 6720g2 1gb video card, there not bad for gamming at all, can run bfbc2 on high no problems. also codmw3 on high, only game im have little bit trouble with is saints row the third, also anyone kno where i can get a FPS application to see what im getttin for frames thanks p.s i already have the k10stat app.

Someone used this settup and stress tested it 100% for 9 hours and it was at 85C.



All I know is that my pc never uses its boost for some reason

I'm personally wondering if you can have just the 0P and 1P the same and all the others lower and it will stay like that number you set them to

So got this comp through tigerdirect.ca yesterday (refurbished) and I'm just not getting the same performance as everyone else here...
So like as soon as I got it, went straight into overclocking and undervolting, and for the cpu it went fine at 2300 for p0 and same 1.075 v b0 kept the same. Ran intel burn test, gave me same values that were consistent, and I don't remember the temps, but it wasn't anything super high...
But the gpu wouldn't overclock, like the first setting that's at stock 600, I just changed it to 610 and applied settings and it either restarts or blue screens :/
But anyways, I tried loading up batman arkham city and at LOW it runs at 20 frames average, I read on another thread a person getting 30-50 frames, and even on my other comp with a 5650m and a core i3 380m I get 30+ avg on high :/
Btw tried crossfire on and off, no help

Help would be really appreciated, going crazy here lol

Thats odd? Did you update everything on your computer? It is essential that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and such, bios, chip update. And yes something must be wrong since ANY game single player can be handled from this PC....

""""All I know is that my pc never uses its boost for some reason"""

i turned my other setting off that arrow gave me, an now its back on the stock setting, but its keeps thottling up to 2.3 again is this normal ???im not really running anything just monitoring the clock speed and temp, and this thread an facebook..... ???? any ideas

If you see it spiking up to 2.3 every now and then it may just be being weird. I had that happen while messing around but then i restarted at some point and it wasn't doing it anymore.

But same deal for me. Any game I play the CPU never decides to boost to 2.3

thought that was only intell that does that not amd?

In your k10stat settings, make sure you have your cores set to UnGanged mode if you want boost to work. When it is set to ganged or if you have clock control enabled plus locked at the highest p-state, boost will not activate.

If neither of those is the problem, your CPU may not like the speed and voltage of your boost state, so it will lock that core when it activates. That core will kick back down to P and it will likely happen so fast you don't even notice or crash. Try kicking up the voltage on your b0.

The profile I use for gaming is 2.2GHz all p's @1.0875V and b0 of 2.3GHz @1.15V. I've gotten the best balance of benchmarks, temperatures and stability here. Not as power thrifty as some or as fast as others, but rock solid.

Also, I just came across an identical Samsung 4GB module, same run to replace my g.Skill. It's super-symmetrical-dual-channel.

So any update on how to OC the dGPU? Still got to use the old drivers, and mess around with .reg, .ini., and .cfg files? Newegg has this a referb of this up, and was thining of trading in my dv6-6117 for this, but was just wondering how the OC was.

Wait wait, so with the 12.1 previews we're able to OC the GPU now?
