No, it's not normal. :shock: My laptop reached maximum to 85*C in intense gaming without using cooling pad and in a non-ac room. Check it out your cooling sense is in coolest mode or not? If yes call hp guy asap.

Dv6 6165tx and dv6 7000

There is no model named dv6-7000 in the market. I think you want to say dv6-7010tx with core-i7. If yes I want to say dv6-6165tx is more preferable for gaming as it has Radeon 6770M which outputs much much more performance than nvidia GT 630M of dv6-7010tx. If your main purpose is gaming buy 6165tx. Over and out!

whr the hell one cud get a 6140tx????

In chroma store only.

No,it was in performance optimised mode and "High performance" power plan was selected.I was playing NFS Run with a video conversion going on in the background.
I also checked with coolsense in coolest mode and with similar load,it was at 79-82'C..These temperatures are with CoolerMaster E1 cooling pad in a non-ac room.But I still feel its a bit on the higher side.Kindly advice if any action needs to be taken.

Any suggestion from dell at 56k for gaming purpose with i7+15.5scr

There is no i7 in your price range and don't expect to get good fps in latest games in high or ultra settings in dell like you will get in hp dv6-6165tx.

Ok..... hmmm if i say except gaming then whic one is better dv6 6165tx or 7110tx

First there is models 7110tx in the Indian market. If you want to say 7010tx, yes it has ivy bridge core-i7 processor. And it is the only model in the market which has such a powerful processor. Hats off to hp to bring ivy bridge processor in india so early.

Yes, I think you should call hp. 95*C is serious. I keep checked while playing NFS run it hardly reached to 86*C after an hour or so. Keep calling hp for a even minor problems, as we guys paid for service (that was included for 1 year) don't hesitate to call. And they guys help very much.. hp has rocking service.

Yes, the graphic card of dv6-6165tx is better performer than new dv6-7010tx.

I dont play much games, but see more movies etc and for net surfing and sumtimes for auto cad designing so is it better to buy 7010tx which have evy bridge and 3rd gen
instead 6165tx

Yes, 7010tx is with core i7-3610QM and GT 630M graphics which is decent for Auto-CAD and all. And the new dv6-7000 series is with in-built sub-woofer, that is nice for music and movies.

I'm using DV6-6165tx. Anyone here tried adding caddy for extra hdd? I'm thinking of placing the internal HDD(9.5mm thick I guess) in the caddy(SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive Caddy for 9.5mm Universal CD / DVD-ROM Optical Bay | eBay), and adding an SSD(Flipkart: OCZ Agility 3 60 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (AGT3-25SAT3-60G): Internal Hard Drive) in place. Does DV6-6165tx have SATA 6.0 Interface? Also I'm thinking if I will get good speed from the HDD in the caddy.
Feel free to suggest me other SSD's. I'm looking at this(Flipkart: Transcend 128 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (TS128GSSD25S-M): Internal Hard Drive) model, as 128GB would be good for my Windows Partition(Lots of Apps you see), but speed is the main concern. Any SSD under Rs 7000 would be great, but I will not sacrifice for speed. Please give opinions.

^^^^ I think aniket.cain has done that. This one has 8GB less space but is much faster than the Transcend. Also check out local shops, you might get it cheaper.

^^^^ Its not an issue. The battery charging rate is reduced as the battery gets charged to 90% to increase the life of the battery. So it stays at the same level for a long time. Plugged in and not charging is also normal, don't worry.

Dont buy Hp pavilion dv6 6165tx .It has a bogus i7 processor. It hangs many times. So don't waste your money behind it . Switch for DELL XPS. its awesome. for any information you all will contact with me @@ "*****".
