Can you suggest me which cooling pad to buy for this laptop because I will be gaming on it frequently and everyone says that it heats up pretty fast.

My budget is around 1 - 2 K.

why spend so much on cooling pad r! IMO buy any Chinese cooling pad for 200-300 they work fine.
if you are brand conscious then buy.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

when desktop processors temperature touches 75. we say it is overheating. Under load 60 is usually normal in India where the room temperature is 30-35. But in case of laptop the overheating temp is 90+. Some laptops (like last gen Apple Macbook i think) will run at 100degree without any sign of slowing down or shutdown. As told by GG the load temp is 68 when the room temperature is 45. Yes a Intel laptop without any GPU will definitely run cooler but add a GPU and the laptop will touch new height.

If you can spend 40k, better wait for Asus to refresh their K53SM. Currently with SB & a 38k pricetag makes it look terribly overpriced when it a barebone laptop with slower GPU & a 2nd gen i5. no OS, no chiclet keyboard, no bag, etc.

Hey Sam since u hv used 2005ax cud u solve my doubt ?
Is 7670m (individually) in 2005ax as powerful as a regular 7670m in different laptops? or there are limitations as the 7670m in 2005ax is ideal for dual graphics?
This question rises in my mind as I have seen the benchmarks for 7670m in sites like notebookcheck.com & others and I thought it wud be a good gpu (before buying) but now I am observing quite a few of lags in gaming and it doesnt seem like its 7670m!

7670M is same for all laptop. So yes it will perform same and not related to dual graphics.
maybe your laptop is not using the discrete GPU. many times (when in battery) you'll have to force the laptop to use the discrete GPU. i have played bulletstorm with almost everything max'd out and yet the game ran without a single lag when on discrete GPU but is almost unplayable on fusion GPU. check the Trinity performance analysis by me. i have given steps to force the use of 7670.

play the AMD CCC settings to get the best battery backup and best gaming performance. on default settings, this one doesn't offer even half of its potential.

Hey Sam ,just as you said, could you please tell me if I have done the correct thing...
I have turned dual graphics off, changed power option profile from 'HP balanced' to 'High Performance' & in amd ccc I hv put the app on high performance graphics processor!
Will I get the maximum of the computer performance( that goes for cpu as well as gpu) out of this setting? or am I missing something out; please do let me know.
thnx in advance,

Cheers,

you have done it right. you can check the same from CCC if processor is set to run at 1900 or capped at 1400. better do tinker a bit with these settings if you think you are not getting the best out of your laptop.

Pixelated movies?

Does anybody else feel the movies come highly pixelated in this laptop? Also low res movies are unplayable? I downloaded lots of low-res movies in my earlier laptop and they played well. But in this laptop, they seem unplayable. The picture quality just sucks!
Is it a problem with the drivers or the WIN 7 OS or the hardware?

unplayable in what sense?
the laptop simply refuse to play the movie or the movie frames lags?

also which video player?

^my cousin also has same problem with videos (too much of pixelation) :(
told him to test with HD trailers, same result, i got him install k-lite codec, vlc player & latest graphics driver (12.8).
pls share your AMD CCC settings here (or profiles).

He's in chennai & i'm at b'lore.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

can you guys post your CCC settins (screen shot).
and does the laptop come with any power manager & Facial Recognition login?
e.g, asus comes with Power4Gear & SmartLogon Facial Recognition Access (included in driver DVD) & has keyboard shortcuts (Fn + Space = power modes)

If HP doesnt have it, can you recommend something similar.
