the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

[red dragon]

Naah.. No problem



Thats a stupid move. Just look how many dv6 users are here. Around 2~3 guys joining every month in this forum means the sales are really good. i7 + 6770M is kickass for this price

This DV6 series has always been a pain in their as*,visit any HP service centre and talk to those poor service engineers.In fact one of them told me to avoid dv6 in future.
Their probook series has always been their best seller and had much less failure rates and much better than their rival Vostros.
And there are very good Indian forums,where people wont even touch the dv6 with a 6 feet pole,and let me tell you those guys are definitely not noobs

which player do you guys use? Duampot player seems to have problems when I play mkv files....

Heard of something called VLC or MPC?Who bought you a laptop?

I bought HP after comparing it with Lenovo and Dell XPS both having i7 2630. All three ran AVS video converter for an hour with all cores at full load and the difference in max temps was less than 5 degrees among all three

Coolsense controls the fan speed policy and processor performance policy in Windows power profiles. Hence, Coolsense is same as going into a profile and changing the fan and performance policies right there.
Install ThrottleStop and have some more control.

-EDIT-
My friend has a Dell and he as reported excessive heating. Not sure which model it is. HP isn't alone.
Perhaps xps 15

Try disabling the onboard graphics in the bios, be sure you know how to reset bios before hand though incase your video card ever fails. Then install ubuntu and hopefully because there's just one video device presented to ubuntu on the install there won't be an issue.

Go to the above mentioned link and download the drivers.
BTW there is supposed to be a folder called swsetup or something like that,it contains all the drivers and all the crapware hp gave you.
