Now I am getting much better performance from the system. Most of the games are showing significant increase in the fps.
For eg.
CS:Source - 154 fps in benchmark. Earlier it was 38 only.
Resident Evil 5 - 55 fps. Earlier it was around 32.
Assassin's Creed - Brotherhood : 42 fps.
X-Men Origis - Wolverine : 60 fps (locked). Earlier it was around 45.
Portal 2 : 118 fps average. Earlier it was around 50.
Battlefield Bad Company 2: Around 30-35
Batman - Arkham Asylum : 52 fps. Earlier it was around 35-40.
Mirror's Edge : 55+
Modern Warfare 2: 78 fps Avg
Brink : 35 fps.
And so on...

Now, Crysis, Crysis 2, Far Cry 2, and FEAR 3 haven't gained much to write about. And WEI shows an error if I try to update the scores. And CS:Source crashes sometimes. Apart from these, nothing to worry so far. I will keep updating as I discover more improvements or problems.

I would update the drivers before the BIOS update.

 

[saddy]

graphics driver is 300 mb one file so it will take time as my internet speed is low this time...btw after installing driver i have 2 do BIOS update right?

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Yes .

If you are keeping a book underneath the laptop, it is going to block all the vents through which the fan sucks in the air. Better keep two small books on the sides only, so that the middle of the laptop is free to take air.
For the Processor throttling, open Start Menu, type coolsense and run it.

In it, select 'Coolest Mode'.

Dude i am already running in "coolest mode" of HP coolsense still the temprature reaches alarming temperature.

Have you tried of over clocking it, if yes do you find any scope of under clocking it ??

If anyone has tried overclocking can anyone guide me which method did they use ie. BIOS or any specific software ??

You can limit processor utilization.....


first take the power options from control panel.

choose the power plan in which u want to reduce processor power consumption

click on change plan settings

inside that click on change advanced power settings

inside that there is a list. choose processor power management

inside that choose maximum processor state and change it 75% or any value u prefer...

If you are talking about overclocking the CPU on this one, it can't be done. I googled a lot about it, but everywhere it was said that these CPUs cannot be overclocked.
On the other hand, the GPU can be very easliy overclocked using MSI Afterburner or Sapphire TRIXX.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

FOR HIGH TEMPS
Go to Control Panel>Change Plan Setting>Advanced Settings and change CPU state to 99%. This won't effect performance but will disable turbo boost. It should decrease temps by 10C.
