I plan to upgrade from i5-460M to i7-640M. Do I need to follow the CPU upgrade and disassemble everything or I can just remove back cover,...
I would say a good offer. High end dual core from Sandy Bridge can easily match a quad core from previous generation while producing less heat due...
F.20 should support SATA3. F.08 is still the best if you haven't upgrade, Turbo, SATA3 is broken after F.20.
Thanks for the information. So you can confirm Turbo is back with F.26? How about SATA3? I'm running great with F.08 now but keen to flash to the...
Can you try to flash back to F.20 or F.22 and test again? If Turbo does work then I would take the risk and flash to F.26. I have a feeling HP...
You got it working with throttle stop right? I did that too when I was using F.20 and above but it was a hassle and I got to launch it every...
I can confirm that Turbo Boost will not work for quad core CPU from BIOS F.20 onwards. I'm using 8460p and Turbo doesnt work for my 2670QM. After...
I dont think you an underclock because speed step already lower the clock speed to 800mhz. Maybe you can try lower voltage with Throttle stop or...
Does your 8460p comes with ATI graphics? If yes, then heat will be a problem because the cooling is barely capable to cool down the CPU alone.
Didn't notice that. Hp screwed up every BIOS after F.20 and I plan to stick at F.08 where everything works perfectly.
You can roll back to F.20 or F.22. I have tried that before.
F.25 was pulled down from HP's servers. I suggest you to roll back to F.22 or consult with HP.
Thats weird. So it seems Turbo Boost is not working for certain CPUs? I have 2670QM and Turbo doesn't work with BIOS F.20 and above. I sent to HP...
DP can support up to 2560x1600 pixels compare to HDMI which is limited to 1920x1200. Elitebook models with ATI graphics can support at least 3...
HD3000 is built into the CPU so the system board which supports integrated graphics is the one without ATI chip. I've seen many systems with...
Replace the system board with the one without ATI 6470M. IMHO, HP should have introduce graphics switching. HD 6470M is not much faster than Intel...
I just got my notebook back from HP with system board replaced. The board was preinstalled with F.08 and guess what, Turbo works again! Upgrading...
If you don't need optical drive, I suggest you to get a SSD for OS drive and move the Momentus to optical drive bay as secondary storage. SSD is...
Your temperature is pretty impressive since it's a 2820QM with full 8MB L3 cache. I wonder if you are using any laptop cooler and what is your...
So your i7 2820QM can turbo up even with F.20? That's funny because mine doesn't turbo even with F.20. Maybe the bios have problem recognizing my...
