actually, i never knew that my CPU was OC..hahaha, i just bought it as it is...the Thermal paste is ok...actually this TEMP is at that level even when using a cooling pad :( maybe today i'll open it and check for any dust and stuff like that, and Angelic..ur right abt the XG- Station...back in 2007 they announced the development...bla 3x...i was excited abt it...but then reading through the article noticed that its not worth it, since of the PCI slot, but then i found some other product, kind of similar to XG-station but without the 600USD price tag...lol, am still having second thoughts of getting that one, i forgot the name actually, but it still does the same thing as XG- station, external monitor and all...
BTT...GPU can be upgraded, and like everyone else said, ONLY certain laptop models have that feature, i once saw a youtube video where the guy was replacing an ATI GPU (laptop) and of course it isn't soldered like the IEG, so unless we have an ASUS, Alienware or DellXPS laptops...then no hope for GPU upgrades :( On Jan 8, 2:14 pm, AngelicTears <[email protected]> wrote: > there is some product that uses the PCI-E slot, similar to the Asus XG > Stations...but, the performance are not worthed for money...as PCI-E slots > oftens comes with only 1x or maybe 4x...where most med end GPU uses 16x > PCI-E interface...but, PCI-E slots are also can be maxed out to 8GB/z data > bandwidth, so it's not really bad compare to intel GMA 950 for example..it's > juz it is not value for money for a external GPU like Asus XG station, where > with that money u can buy an Ati HD 4670 or more powerful cards... > > On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Espionage724 <[email protected]>wrote: > > > hmm this now intrests me, my laptop has a mini-pcie slot (its in use > > by my wireless atm) but if this could somehow be used for a GPU > > then... > > > On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 9:09 PM, THEfog . <[email protected]> wrote: > > > No, unfortuantlymy laptop has its PCI-E disabled on a hardware level, > > > similar to those desktop boards that have a AGP port but it dosn't work. > > > > THEfog > > > > On 08/01/2010 12:06 PM, "Akash" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Oh, I even knew that much.
