Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hey, so I ordered a g6-2313ax a few days back and got it delivered today . I just had a question,

What cooling pad should i buy for moderate to heavy gaming?? If it helps, the outflow vent is on the left at the back and i think the inflow vents are at the bottom. And are Zebronics cooling pads good? I'm thinking of getting one locally. Any suggestions??

@Sankar
You could have probably cancelled yesterday and got a refund. I think it's too late now though.

My advice would be to stay away from the Local Cooling pads as much possible.
Reason : The cheap ones can risk your laptop by withdrawing more power than standard coolers. And might not necessarily provide the efficient cooling.

I personally love the Cooler Master Note-pal U2/U3 because they have adjustable fans , that can be placed anywhere and have efficient cooling.And look very cool.
But don't expect too much difference in temperature while gaming.

@ DVJex
Yea i know. I ordered my laptop on Sunday still i have not received it yet.
Meanwhile i stopped seeing the reviews . it just painful to see.
BTW where are you from ?
Little advice from a less knowledgeable person like me regarding your cooling pad please buy a good band like Cooler master i have terrible experience with a SVB Cooling pad after six-seven month of usage my laptops usb malfunctioned and i have to sold the laptop dirt cheep it was a gigabyte I3 380m. in just two and half years i lost all my savings because of laptops!!!!

@Rishi
Thx for the advice man, but those cooling pads are kinda expensive. Will have to see if i can get the dough. And if there isn't much of a drop in temperature with a cooling pad, is it really needed??

@sankar
Strange, even i ordered on Sunday and i got it on Tuesday at 7. I guess you live in a smaller city/town. Or did you order the combo with a cooling pad??
I live in Chennai.
If you have so much problems with laptops, you could go for a desktop if you dont need portability. You could get a decent one under 30k. It shud last a few years. And the driver problem according to the blog is mainly with AMD and Railink(Wifi/Bluetooth), it will get better with time. So maybe in a few months, Ubuntu wont be a problem for 2313ax...

@all
Does anyone know a windows 7 driver for the wireless button on g6-2313ax? The win8 driver doesn't work and i cant install the bluetooth driver without bluetooth being switched on... Can't use wifi too...

whole of HP G-series laptop series is identical. difference only being what is ticking inside. so instead of getting 2313AX, get 2314AX + a 64GB SSD.

4k for a 200Mhz bump in clockspeed. In real life it'll be like 2-3FPS increase. get 2314AX and save that 4k.

install Windows 7 & install same drivers as G6 2010AX. Most if not all drivers of 2010AX will work just fine on 2314AX.

@DVJex i received the laptop yesterday.after installing all the driver of win8 i still see a unknown device in the device manager. can anyone help me to solve this?
you are correct i wish i have head the logical part of my brain. After one day usage i think that 4k was a waste a A8 would have been good. btw the are u going for his *ssl.www8.hp.com/h41268/live/index.aspx?qid=19251

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

how did your 2005ax get a 60+ fps?? :O
Did you do some sort of tweaking?

Dunno myself. No tweaking.

Unbelievable

Just stumbled onto this
*blog.icewheel.org/
i should have done little bit of more research. Now i am hitting my head against the wall.
i invested everything that i have into this one (2313AX). oh god !!!

Bro you've got better machine than me. Why bumping your head??

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Still havent bought my machine.For some moment i was sold on expensive sammy and than on lenovo.But both have its issue and hence i am back to buying a mid level model.

So with budget of 33k which peice to buy.

The latest one looks to have driver issues with linux system i guess.

2313AX's performance is almost same as 2314AX. Free DOS = DOS operating system (in short, NO OS).

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@sankar
Try using this:Unknown Device Identifier - Freeware Download
It will identify the devices in your laptop and you can get the driver for that. I still only have the bluetooth driver left to install. And I will probably be going for the 3k warranty offer.
If you do something apart from gaming, the A10 may be better for you. Though i think i shud have gone for one with A8 instead...

@magnet
2313ax has some problems with ubuntu 12.10, haven't checked it out myself. Other laptops with AMD graphics might also have some driver issues, so you might want to look up those laptops if you want linux...

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

but..
2313AX has A10 n 2314AX has A8 processor right? 10 is better than 8 right? :S
and also on the graphic card memory, 2313 has 2.5 GB where 2314 has only 1.5GB right?

that makes no difference at all?

oh, so freedos = no os? we have to install it manually after getting the laptop?

2313AX has A10 n 2314AX has A8 processor right? 10 is better than 8 right? :S

simply not worth the 4k. Had it been like 35k for 2313AX, i'll recommend it. moreover doesn't come with Windows. also unlike Intel where jumping from core i3 to i5 is like 50% performance increase (usually), A8 to A10 will be 10-15% as A10 is simply A8 with the clockspeed bumped by 200Mhz.

and also on the graphic card memory, 2313 has 2.5 GB where 2314 has only 1.5GB right?

2313AX has 7670M + 7660G & 2314AX has 7670M + 7540G. Performance wise 7660G is not much faster than 7540G. If you think about crossfire performance, it'll be really close again so i don't see much of a reason to go for 2313AX other than bragging rights that you have the fastest APU.

oh, so freedos = no os? we have to install it manually after getting the laptop?

yes. you'll have to install it yourself.
