The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

[daksh]

Guys neither have I experienced any fps drop in 3 max Payne sittings all above 1-1.5 hours . Temp CPU reaches max 90 and gpu around 87 but I use a trick to lower it. Minimize the game for 2 mins and see the drop . Then play again . This is only till my cooling pad comes . Otherwise no fps drops .

And for fan speed fn+f11. Power management comes by licking on the battery icon in the task bar .

Concluding that the i5 throttles with a 90W psu, however the i7 variant doesn't LOL

I didn't go to Nehru Place. Got it from Sri Chand Computers in District Center, Janak Puri. Much closer to my home.

it can be a problem with my AC adapter or maybe I just need to get a cooling pad.

that's decent temp rates, I'll try finding a Cooler master U3 locally, and also I played nfs on battery ( by mistake), with AC adapter off, didn't seem to lag.

now wondering if its a problem with the AC Adapter

You should see previous posts before wondering on issues by posting on the threads. When u play in battery, the cpu performance is set below to max while playing on AC, it is on max by default on Win 7 [see it by go to advance power option on Win 7]. since the throttles are all for turbo boost on cpu and thus getting the GPU hot by the connecting rod(metal), lowering the cpu performance will solve your issue for now and later you can get some good advice from others...

So, in brief once follow the procedure I mentioned in previous post in this thread and then post the result here, do only if you understand what I meant...

so setting cpu performance to 99% will solve it?? I dunno, I'll see if it works.

com'on guyzzx whixch is better?? U2 or U3

 

[daksh]

Obviously U3 . It has one more fan with speed control .

 

[pratyush997]

^^So should I cancel my U2 order and get U3

 

[daksh]

Thats what Kanishk did . And I have also ordered the U3 only .

 

[pratyush997]

U3 is way to Big for a 15 Incher!!!
It supports upto 17'
So Can't fit in a Bag of 16"

 

[ankeshdave]

Even I'm planning to buy it within a week. I'm heading out to visit some dealers right now. I'll report back the prices when I return home.

Hey, did you get time to go out to get quotes from dealers
or gamer0704 quote is still the best one

 

[iChaitanya]

Taking the liberty to list users from pune interested in either i5 or i7 here:
ankeshdave
dmplog
sakii
iChaitanya
ultimategamer
gamer0704

Some are willing to buy over this weekend, and some a bit later.
But I think we can place order at single time with different pickup dates.

RON28 just messaged that the baba systems on tilak road is the one who has quoted the best amount.
48.5k for i5
55k for i7

PM me if anyone is interested in finalising for group deal in pune.
based on the numbers, will call baba.
would be great if someone, specially RON28 can help in bargaining further based on numbers as I am very bad at bargaining

I just visited BABA. He quoted me 48k for the i5 and 58k for the i7. Smaung bag is free. No accessories.

2% extra for credit card transactions and HDFC CC EMI available (check pic for extra charges).

I'm in. When are you all planning to buy this beast? If we're gonna buy 6+ pieces, then we ought to get more discount. Guys, decide and PM me.

 

[shaggy]

ok will get a cooler, and if the fps drop continues, then there's something wrong. throttling occurs because of overheating of the gpu right??

and what cooling pad are you using??

I'm not using any cooler. I place the laptop on the samsung cardboard box it came in with its left edge(where the vent is) hanging out a bit.
Throttling happened 2 times with me, its because of overheating, don't worry.

U3 is way to Big for a 15 Incher!!!

U2,u3,and evo are more or less of same dimensions, all of them support upto 17 inches. u2 is comparatively smaller.
Thats a very good point you mentioned, think I'll order u2 then.
