The Definitive DV6z Llano Overclock and Optimization Guide

That is odd. First, make sure you have PowerPlay turned on. You can find it in the Control Center under "Power". That was a mistake I made when testing the IGP. I didn't realize it would resort to the slowest GPU speed instead of fastest. Also note that not all GPU's are created equal. Sometimes you just get a dud and can't overclock nearly as well as others. That happens to me more often than not.

My default settings show my IGP as 100MHz / 81MHz. But "GPU Clock" shows 740/880 where I have it clocked.

Mine shows at 100/40.5. I really dont know whats going on. I have power play enabled and currently on high performance in power settings. It's still showing 243Mhz on Memory clock. Any other ideas?

Just installed a corsair GT 120gb ssd in place of the hard drive that came with mine and it worked perfect.

This may sound stupid but how do I tell when the 6750 is working or if it is working. I am getting a windows index score of 6.3 for the graphics and when I launch MSI afterburner it doesn't seem to show any work on the 6570's part

Do you get a GPU1 in Afterburner? If not then you need to turn off ULPS. See here: The Definitive DV6z Llano Overclock and Optimization Guide

Alternatively you can "prime" your 6750m by setting an app like GPU-z to using the dedicated card, then start up MSI Afterburner.

Yeah that was it!!!! Thanks

Finally got my stable OC for dGPU 715/900!

Played assassin's creed brotherhood at 2.2 MHz with dGPU 715/900 Dual Grahpics disabled.

@1366 x 768 with all settings at max and post effects. I get a max temp of 81C for cpu and 74C for dGPU. FPS was at 57-60.

@highest res other settings left @ default, I got a max temp of 86C and dGPU 81C.

Have you checked everything that's listed in the HP manual, and/or contacted HP directly?

Am I reading your question correctly? I am assuming that you're wanting this using stock BIOS.

[H203]

yes, essentially a stock bios, i am using the bios that only mods dgpu, but does not remove the whitelist.

However, I have read posts that say that these HP part numbers don't always coincide with the right part, but you can always check with HP to verify, and/or look for these parts from third-party distributors on Amazon, eBay, Google Shopping, etc. There's no substitute for doing your own homework...and bringing your findings back to the group once you succeed.

That's how I found that the Killer N 1102 would work by dropping the whitelist check. I did my research, paid my money, and took my chances. That's how the Killer N 1102 got into the optimization guide.

Update: I just searched all the HP part numbers on eBay and found every one except the first listed.
