- Updates the thermal table to fix an issue caused by noise from the system fan.

edit: get error trying it and the file size is smaller than the normal updates

This BIOS update is NOT meant to work on the dv6-6XXX and dv7-6XXX notebook series. This release is for the dv6-1XXX and dv7-2XXX series (a much older notebook line using Intel's Core 2 Duo processors).

I'll take a look -- I'll be catching up on the updates shortly.

Yeah, did look kinda fishy. Thanks for clearing that up.

Downloading this now, any idea about the changelog and which version amd drivers included?

Downloading this now, any idea about the changelog and which version amd drivers included?

AMD Graphics Driver: 05/07/2011, 8.830.6.3000
AMD HDMI Audio Driver: 03/29/2011,7.12.0.7701
Intel Switchable Graphics is based off of: 15.22.2.64.2372 (8.15.10.2372)
Intel Display Audio Driver: 6.14.0.3074

I'll be posting this up to the first post once I reorganize it, since this driver does not support the Envy 14's 6630 graphics.

I got it installed and it's running smoothly..

So the driver is still nowhere near the 11.09 or 11.10 that amd drivers are at at the moment?

Also I believe the intel driver had been updated recently, does this include that as well?

Thanks

HP's version of the AMD graphics driver is much older than what AMD currently provides.

The Intel switchable graphics driver is included in this package (see the last couple posts); it's not too old but it's not the newest either.

Some updates finally posted!

10/06/2011

• Updated Intel Chipset Device Software to version 9.2.3.1022.
• Updated Intel WiFi Link Driver (and software) to version 14.2.0.10.
• Updated Realtek PCIe Card Reader driver to version 6.1.7600.85.

I haven't forgotten about the AMD graphics driver -- these will be up once the table has been reformatted.

The updated Realtek PCIe Card Reader driver is meant to be installed on the dv6-6XXX / dv7-6XXX series.
