godspeed4476 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 GS, it's better if you get it cleaned asap..Otherwise it may harm your system. It shouldn't cost much either. You can either do it at home easily (well, depending on the laptop company and model. I generally buy laptops only after finding if it is easy enough to open and tinker around) or you can get it done from some service center. They shouldn't charge more than 200-250 bucks for a complete clean up I guess. Thks, i will take it to the service centre in next month after my work gets completed . what should i ask for at the service centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Thks, i will take it to the service centre in next month after my work gets completed . what should i ask for at the service centre? tell them you want to get dust etc and fans cleaned up and try to get it done in front of you only.... btw what's your laptop model? I can check if it is easy enough for you to at least check if that is the issue or not (though 2.5 years of usage would definitely mean there is a lot of dirt in there) Edited March 29, 2011 by Shantz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change it (normally PG UP/DOWN but do check on the page before pressing anything ) to make the DVD drive boot first, then HDD etc. BIOS menu can be accessed by pressing DEL or F10 during POST. Depends from model to model. Edited March 29, 2011 by F@tm@n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oi guys need an IEM under 2k max. Been using a Creative EP630 and it went down couple of days back. Need something similar. What kind of sound signature do you like? If you like phones that are kinda low on mid-levels, the NuForce NE-7M is a good bet. I bought them a few months ago and love them to death.

dante77 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Buy MSI 5750 for 6.4k Will run prototype at max easily ( I guess ) Any card under 6k? He wont mind playing it on normal settings, around 5K? but I'll still convince him to buy this card. Its good overall, right? and thnx alot for your help Internet hardly helps if you are looking for a hardware with its indian price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought them a few months ago and love them to death. Hmm. I listen to all sorts of trance, electro-house and of course bolly. Ebay didn't turn up anything for Nuforce. How's Brainwavz M2 ? Also where to buy them from in Delhi ? All I know of is PristineNote from TE (Mumbai). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel81x Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Power consumption question if anyone has ever run into it. I am currently using a rig for work that has an X6 in it and I am upgrading to a 700W CM SMPS. I want to know what considerations to cooling I need to have inorder to sort out the case so that I don't run into over-heating issues later on? My nutter colleague thought it was ok to get a 450W MAX SMPS and I am scared to even try and run it for extended periods on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 guys, how's this mobo for OC'ing Q6600? interested coz it also has CF support, but also, price is 6k! http://www.techenclave.com/members-market/q9550-p5q3-wifi-emu-1212-sound-180422.html please reply ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfrag Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I had the ASUS P5Q Deluxe, and it was an excellent OC machine. I had OC'ed my E7200 to 4Ghz stable, along with the RAM. That mobo won't be as good, but you should be able to get 3Ghz - 3.2Ghz on your Q6600. What stepping is your Q6600 btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfrag Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yup, the G0 stepping Q6600 overclock very well. I would expect around 3.2Ghz to 3.4Ghz, 3.6Ghz would be the best. As for your latest question, I couldn't understand much, but you don't have a monitor to connect the PC to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 so do u suggest me to take that board? or else go for new system which i am already planning....or which mobo do u suggest for my current cpu that would OC it nicely and supports either CF or SLi i have attached HDTV to the pc via vga, so, max i can do is 1280*720 or 1366*768...

Superfrag Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I suggest a new system altogether, obviously. The benefits of CF or SLI aren't good enough to buy another card as well as a motherboard. What's your current setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) ok, so i'll re-arrange my question: current cpu(Q6600) + that mobo for 5.5k (ASUS P5Q3 deluxe) + gskill ddr3 ripjaws 3.8k + Seasonic PSU + current cabby (Zebronics Lava, can be upgraded later to HAF X) or should i go for a new rig: amd phenom 2 x4 955 BE (6.5k) + crosshair 4 formula (11.7k) + gskill ddr3 ripjaws 3.8k + Seasonic PSU + CM HAF X(11.5/12k) plus, want a decent monitor (led), and HD 6950 thoughts edit: current setup- Q6600 + intel dg31pr + transcend ddr2 2gb*2 800Mhz + Zebronics Lava cabby + VIP 420W PSU hooked upto 26" HDTV displaying 1366*768/1280*720 res.
