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

gpuz is wrong.

we have 5 gpus

Link626, I did some overclocking today using k10stat and i noticed something very strange. Everytime I select my overclocked setting for 2.0ghz in K10stat, CPU-Z shows my bus speed has gone down to 70.0Mhz and is not switching back to 100.2 Mhz, Cpu Speed is still 1419 Mhz and Multiplier is 20x. So to check whether i have any performance problem with it, i did memory test with sis sandra and its showing that my ram is running at 914Mhz instead of 1333Mhz. and i am getting 14Gb bandwidth in dual mode instead of 20gb. Then i checked the ram report and its showing due to overclock, 30% performance deduction is happening. I am sure its all becoz of bus speed. what thing is affecting bus speed , how can i set my cpu to run at 100Mhz bus speed?

I am new to overclocking so guys any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. The fsb is not stable, so the cpu mhz is going up and down continuously. 1996mhz - 900mhz in 1s
Below 80 so that cannot be the problem.

Use hwinfo64 instead of cpu-z.

that's a bug with k10stat. If you keep changing the speeds, and hitting apply over and over, it seems to cut the speed. This happened to me a few times.

I use amd's own PSCheck to overclock.

if you're pushing 80, you will see throttling, and it's not because of fsb. It's cutting the multiplier.

Happening around 70 too. I will try pscheck.

Ok. So I might have missed a post or two in the 333 pages but I am curious if anyone can give the proper steps to uninstalled any HDMI related drivers and then reinstalling them.
Cable has been double checked and so has the tv with another Asus laptop HDMI.
The Sound option shows the HDMI greyed out, not connected.
Didn't see anything in the advanced power management options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i read that some catalysts have broken hdmi driver.
in that case, you can uninstall just the hdmi driver, and reinstall an older hdmi driver by using the custom install option when installing catalyst.

that one doesn't have dedicated graphics card.

Link beat me to the punch.
An important difference of that model is its lack of discrete 6650M gpu which most of us here are constantly tweaking for playing PC games at the best possible frame rate & quality. The above model is fine if gaming is not a priority at all. It can still game solidly at low settings with its 6520g apu but using it for other purposes would suit it better. Also $400 would be better spent on Trinity & Intel 3rd gen notebooks in the coming months.

Is there any way to have it load on startup with a given profile (I can get it to load, but I'm not sure how to make it automatically load a profile)?
