Overheating:

bhupati said:
I used to have overheating problems and it used to hibernate after 10mins of gameplay. I cleaned the fan myself, reapplied the thermal paste and it is working fine now. You could go to a service center for this but that's not how we do things at thinkdigit, right?

So I made a laptop maintenance cum dis-assembly video which will apply to all new models of HP Pavillion G-Series and even other latops:

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

dont forget to answer me ..
and sam you can tell me about purchasing

in cell phones buying a non sealed pack mobile is like a sin
is it same in lappy
only 1 guy quoted price as 31k rest were 31.5k what if he does not give me a sealed pack , does that imply its a demo model . Should i go for 31k non sealed or 31.5k sealed .

forgot to mention in above post
and also i will be using it on bed mostly 10 hrs of web surfing mostly youtube and 3 hrs of movie . So tell the estimated status of heating.

is it necessary to purchase warranty along with purchase or can be purchased anytime ?

definitely sealed. With non sealed package the laptop will most likely get used up for quite sometime so battery have already took some beating, dust have already entered the ducts, etc.

will it work with Trinity? it does record/show the change in states but can the state values be edited?

wow man ..
great review i am almost going to buy the lappy tomorrow . i contacted a dealer he was quoting price as 31k for today he said his prices are based on dollar so could fluctuate.
and on monday here or sunday in greece is elections if greek takes exit dollar is expected to hit rs 58 to rs 60.
my exams arent over yet but i have 2 days holidays for that i am thinking of buying tomorrw only with that additional warranty .

did you purchased the warranty ??

by the way after having tested the laptop what are your views i mean would you suggest me to go for it .

i will be using it for
1) gaming ( i'll buy a cooling pad for sure for this)

all i want is that while watching 1 full hd movie for 3 hrs ( no multiviewing movies) it should not heat thats it .

2)other general stuff like web browsing , ms office but will be using it for prolonged hours

2) how do you find the display quality

thanks bro for your pics and review
and yes i wont be touching it without getting it laminated.

it is going to be my first laptop so dont have much knowledge about purchasing.

should i demand a seal packed laptop like there is seal on mobile phones .

and also the warranty you got is accidental damage right ?

and how many ram modules is it 2 x 2gb ( acc to flipkart ) or 1 x 4 gb

and yes if possible please download 3dmark 11 and run this benchmark

and also what about coolsense ? i heard there are few modes in the coolest mode the fan dont stop unless the temp goes below 40 c

again thanks

31K is a good price. I couldn't get it that

Though unlike you I don't have the reasons, something tells me that prices might go up in near future before taking a slide when other companies come up with trinity based notebooks. Besides that companies tend to raise the prices of models in demand. Not sure being an AMD how popular this ones gonna be in lay man's world of Intel.

Extended warranty under this offer cannot be purchased along with the laptop no matter whether you buy from a exclusive showroom or a retailer. Its a process which I have gone through 3-4 years back also on my compaq purchase. At that time they gave me a Kodak digicam with my laptop :-D

You purchase the laptop, go home, register the item serial number on the offer website, cut the barcode serial area of the laptop box, send it along with the mentioned docs and the cheque/dd to the address specified on offer webpage. They might send the extended warranty papers or something after some days of receiving your docs.

In 31K there just isn't better gaming laptop available in market. If you spend 7K more you can think of going with K53SM from ASUS with 630M. But even then for gaming Radeon 7670M discreet is probably equal or better than 630M. Nvidia has the edge in the department of drivers and compatibility. Comparable ATI will give you better performance at lower cost but there is slight chance that for a tiny number of games it might want you to struggle a bit with right drivers and settings. And now with these dual graphics and crossfire thing you might have to dig a bit more to achieve the peak performance out of such a dual-GPU system. Will post more about it later.

Always a seal packed one as Sam said and also check that its a proper seal and not some duct tape pasted by the seller. But in our country you can't be sure of even seals :lol:

So I just do it as a formality to insist for a fresh and unopened item.

The shops I went to did mention of accidental damage cover. I didn't get anything except a quick-start user manual paper in the box so not sure about what sort of warranty it is. But on Flipcart it mentions "1 Year Onsite Warranty with Accidental Damage Protection" so should be pretty much it only. You can confirm it by calling HP number: 1800 42 54 999 on Monday.

CPU-z is showing a single 4GB module installed and other slot empty.

I did notice that after installing HP coolsense, the temperature during normal working did go down by 3-4 degrees. But I am not sure about the fan behavior as my laptop hasn't gone below 40 considering the hot weather in Delhi today.

Display is just a standard 1366X768 screen. Nothing to boast of. Samsung ones in showroom looked better. Screen quality might be little better than ASUS but just a little only.

Akash

Thanks for the suggestion. Downloaded, tried just now. Doesn't work: "CPU not supported"

Sam said:
was all these part of the standard package or was given by shopkeeper? I don't need any of these. Better but some quality alternates.

There is no standard package as far as freebies are concerned. HP isn't giving you anything free with it except the installed windows. Every shopkeeper had his own different package of goodies which he offered according to price margin he was asking for.

lets hope someone brings in K12 stat or something similar and soon. Overclocking/Undervolting should be fun

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

thanks bro for the answer
though to make things clear , i am not saying that the hp will increase the price , i am saying dollar price will go up if greek elections are unfavourable. And if that happens expect petrol, mobiles , lappy etc prices to go up. Mostly electronic items are sold on dollar basis as they are imported .
ohh and last doubt bro

also i will be using laptop on bed mostly
10 hrs of web surfing mostly youtube
/downloading and 3 hrs of movie . So can you tell the estimated
status of heating.

thanks

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

AMD Trinity/Bulldozer run cooler than any Intel processor out there.

Where I said "AMDs are definitely a hotter sort" I did make that clear that I am saying it about the AMD+HP combo. As far as only CPUs are concerned current AMD ones like Trinity might be cooler than any Intels out there but AMD can't do anything if the laptop manufacturer isn't able to use this edge and still comes up with chassis which does get more hot. Same is the case with HP. Heat throughput is not dependent only on the CPU. Every component inside the laptop generates heat. My previous Compaq with Athlon X2 + Nvidia 8200MG was considerably hotter than the pentium dual core ones at that time. This HP G6 is also definitely hotter than my brothers Dell i5 without any discreet GFX.

After having used for 2 days I can say that the heating is only evident when you are doing something really CPU-GPU intensive like gaming, encoding etc. Normal work and movie viewing keeps the chassis temp at 45-53C which I think is cool enough (for this HP) considering the ambient temp in my room itself is high. Using this laptop since 8 in the morning and the chassis temp is showing 45C at present, CPU at 43C. And I am not feeling it on my lap.

Sam said:

Sam I would like to mention that AMD Vision Engine control center has this nifty option to keep the clock rates in a particular range when on battery/power. It can keep the CPU under-clocked to 1.4GHz but doesn't allow any over-clocking.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

yea. You're right on OEMs tend to use cheap components in cheaper laptops to save $$$. End result is more heat. My 25K Acer Aspire laptop with Core 2 Duo was notorious.

temperature of same hp g6 with i3 with same gpu in idle 31 c and heavy load 46 c .
Keep in mind these test were conducted where the atmosphere temperature is half of india . I.e 20 c
now can you tell is this thing cooler than intel or hotter ?

Without a first hand exp in identical conditions its pretty hard to compare but I guess heating would be about the same. Been running a heavy HD movie (~5GB size) in foreground, 30 opera tabs in background and a ongoing download with the laptop on bed in a room with just a fan and in past one hour the chassis temp stayed at 61-62C and CPU-GPU at around 56C.

*i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/g62005ax/movie.jpg

When placing the laptop on bed for long hours I tend to place something beneath it so that it remains a little elevated for the air to flow in. If you place it directly on bed for long hours the temperatures would be 6-7C higher.

My dad has HP g6-1105tx with i5-2410M + HD 6490M.

Idle CPU = 49. Load (Team Fortress 2) = 80.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

thanks bro all doubt cleared now what left is crossfire performance in dual channel mode.
but since this lappy also has single channel ram i guess we'll have to wait for that for a long time.

and bro you seem to be using dual graphics all time do check if using only 7640g igp makes a difference on temperatures .

thanks

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

a single fan cooling both proccy & gpu will make any laptop run hot. this looks to be the case here. 45degree @ delhi is normal.

Ivy Bridge +7670/630 combo will run even more hot.

Switchable dual graphics is the confusing part. I think by default the apps runs in IGP only. The driver decides whether the IGP needs the help of dedicated GPU or not automatically. You can disable this in driver settings after which a application which hasn't been assigned to high performance GPU will only use the 7640g without the cross-firing.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

ohh man he is giving me for 31k without bag and 31.5 k with bag.

I dont need that bag much as it will be a desktop replacement and will be on bed 99 % of time .
Confused whether to go with the bag or not..

Check the quality of bag being offered. The one which sales guy showed me originally was quite inferior. He was arguing that the one which is offered with the model is given. I kept pushing him and in order to make the sale he took me to their store and I immediately showed him which one I wanted. The full leather quality shoulder bag not the backpack. Before he showed his inability, I already knew it was really not possible for him as the bag itself costs 1000+ :-D

. So i picked the next best one, a good backpack.

So check what he is giving. Even if its a desktop replacement you will be needing a laptop bag at sometime if you go out and wanted to carry it with you. But do insist for a good one. If you already have one then may be you can leave it and save bucks for something else.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

hi guys so finally i booked my lappy today..
this is how it went

first i called up the guy who quoted the price as 31 k without bag. I was disappointed he was not giving a sealed product

then i took my father and went to the market..
First i went to HP WORLD the guy quoted the price as 33k with set of 10 accesories . He told us without that it will be for 32k. Tried hard to bargain but with no success.
Then we went to another HP WORLD which was bigger.
He quoted the price as 32k with backpack and 31.5k without backpack . Tried hard to bring him down .
Then after some push he agreed to give it for 31.5k with bag and showed us the backpack it was a cheap product very basic and then he showed us another one which was of good quality .

the guy was friendly though , i know i paid a bit extra
but we were sold on two lines,

1) sealed pack , buying frm exclusive showroom 100 % authentic

2) the billing would be made directly from the company

so finally closed the deal for 31700 with that good quality backpack .

considering akbsol got for 31.3k with bag from nehru place wholesale market. I knew i wont get it for less than 31.5 k here . I stay in ncr (ghaziabad) and it costs 150 rs to travell from here to there and back.
didn't wanted that trouble. So prices are higher here.
I still paid 200 bucks extra but then there is peace of mind of buying first lappy from exclusive showroom with bill from company .

paid half the amount to him . Banks were closed today so decided to pay rest tmrw and will pick up the product tmrw.

Now 1133 rupees will go to 1 year warranty
and 180 for lamination

so for 33k with 1 year additional waranty with lamination .

Deal closed..

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

They are available on the HP website and I was unnecessarily downloading them. All of the setups of utilities and drivers are already present in C:\SwSetup folder. So in case you need to replace or install another windows just find all the required software there. There was no CD in the box. I confirmed this from GG also.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

thanks going to pick up the lappy now..

yeah definetly there will be impact on the looks a bit but i have seen laminated lappies . If properly done its sometimes hard to make out . Maybe it will stand out a bit on this lappy . I'll let you know.
But it is 10 times better than cleaning those finger print marks..
By the way what all registrations need to be made
1) windows
2) normal warranty
3) additional warranty

Dude please do ask the store people which barcode sticker we have to send to that warranty offer address. The box has 3 stickers bearing bar codes and its not clearly mentioned on the extended warranty offer website, which one of these needs to be sent.

Windows comes pre-activated. No registration required.

Normal warranty in India on all products is mostly by bill only. So I don't think any registration is necessary. Still registering your product on HP site won't do any harm

Extended warranty offer need registration and a process to be followed as you already know.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

got the lappy
awesome feel

i asked the guy about warranty . He said it is a redemption offer we do not sell tha He told me to visit that address and check out fill form , send
documents .
i guess he too didnt knew about it..cant blame them as they dont deal that.

now have to concentrate on exams will open it on 21st now

by the way which backpack you got i got hp pavilion sport backpack.

i hope i got the right one..

If Sleekbook launches within 35k will go for that instead. BTW haven't heard of any ultrathin with 14" screen with A10.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

Hi GG,

Purchasing extended warranty normally from HP which costs ~ Rs. 3000 for a year and purchasing under this offer are two different things. As me and you are aiming to get it under the offer for Rs. 1133:

If invoice is in your brother's name, register with his name and address only and send his docs, ID proof etc.

Your invoice date is 11th June, you MUST complete the registration by today.

You registered with your name and supplied wrong serial, thats a blessing in disguise actually.

The serial no is the 10 character alphanumeric one on black sticker as you already found out. Ref:
Interpreting an HP serial number – Viktor Balogh's HP-UX blog

Re-register today with your brother's details and this correct serial number.

I will be PMing you regarding something. Please do check it out.

-Regards,
Akash

aakash bro tell me the barcode which you are sending will do the same .
But i think we have to cut that serial no from box and the barcode that is just above the serial no on that black slip.
Bro tell me apart from windows 7 sticker on laptop there is no other serial no sticker or serial no on laptop right ?
We only have that on the box on the black slip which we are going to give away and if it gets lost by courier there is no other way right ?

though it is printed on my invoice but still they should have mentioned it either twice on box or on laptop

Hi GG,

Purchasing extended warranty normally from HP which costs ~ Rs. 3000 for a year and purchasing under this offer are two different things. As me and you are aiming to get it under the offer for Rs. 1133:

If invoice is in your brother's name, register with his name and address only and send his docs, ID proof etc.

Your invoice date is 11th June, you MUST complete the registration by today.

You registered with your name and supplied wrong serial, thats a blessing in disguise actually.

The serial no is the 10 character alphanumeric one on black sticker as you already found out. Ref:
Interpreting an HP serial number – Viktor Balogh's HP-UX blog

Re-register today with your brother's details and this correct serial number.

I will be PMing you regarding something. Please do check it out.

-Regards,
Akash

Hi Akash

Thanks for your timely reply! It's really a wondrous thing for me as I re-registered the laptop in my bro's name in hp site using the s/n from the box and I filled up the peace of mind registration form under his name and s/n from the box. Thanks a ton again!

I also could not find any s/n on the laptop which is same as the s/n printed on the box. Although the s/n in the box is printed in my invoice.

They are available on the HP website and I was unnecessarily downloading them. All of the setups of utilities and drivers are already present in C:\SwSetup folder. So in case you need to replace or install another windows just find all the required software there. There was no CD in the box. I confirmed this from GG also.

akbsol, that is a nice find! I will back up this folder when formatting and installing 7 Ultimate in the future

A doubt I have is if your BIOS was automatically updated? I turned on the laptop on Friday, and went to the next room while it was booting up; when I came back a few mins later I saw that it had not booted and a message had appeared "An important BIOS update is available and setup cannot continue as your laptop is not plugged into a power source. Please connect to a power source to continue." I just about finished reading this message and the laptop restarted itself ( i think there is a timer to restart if user did not give any input/if laptop is not connected to power). I didnt get any message like that ever since.

Did you get any update for BIOS?

Sorry I missed this post of yours. It could be possible that my BIOS too got updated automatically as they have all sorts of windows and HP updates enabled in the system by default and I have the tendency to leave the system online unattended for hours. It might have happened in my absence. I checked on the HP site and I already have the newest version which is available there. Whether the laptop came with this version or system upgraded it later, that I don't know.

Hi,I purchased the laptop for 33,500 from chroma store in Hyderabad.
The bag i was given wasn't as good as quoted in the reviews.

So,i ended up paying 2k more for the laptop :cry:

Hope i get the reimbursement from my education loan as quickly as possible.

The MRP mentioned on my box itself is lower than 33500. How did you end up paying more than that dude? No one can charge you more than the MRP. If that has happened, you should confront them.

Anyways congrats on your purchase of this G6. Welcome to the Trinity Club

Sleekbooks are selling at FK since a week. But trinity based sleekbook are nowhere to be found and AMD said Ultrabook kind of laptop will cost 600$. But most such laptops have ~750$ pricing.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

HP also launched sleekbook.But really amazed why intel product sleekbook name.Because intel had already patented ultrabook name and it cant be used with amd.Just to create confusion intel doing such tricks i guess launching with same name.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

@magnet,

Sleekbook is just a marketing term to describe notebooks that don't meet all of Intel's criteria for ultrabook classification due to CPU and storage component selection, but are otherwise identical to the ultrabook line, including sharing the same 19.8mm thick chassis.

so sleekbook comes with normal HDD most likely.

hi akash bro ! I had a visit to the store today. The guy showed me the box and told to take out that black slip and send it. So i also will be sending that black slip. And i have noticed that the laptop remains cool while doing normal work but while charging on battery temp rises to about 52 - 55 c. And as soon as charger is pluged out it goes back to 42 - 43 c.

Aakash bro did you also get the same bag as shown in gg thread.

Guys anyone planning on getting a cooling pad , looking forward to play games ?
Since last two days i am trying to get halo 2 work on this windows but i am having a hard time . Looks like i will have to install vista for this.

And 1 more thing aakash and gg bro i had skipped earlier that hp reg and i opened up that app again and registered there but i did not get any email conformation though i had unchecked that receive promo news option.

At least clothes aren't that costly in Mumbai. I always buy a few for me and others whenever I visit

When did you purchase it? The normal extended warranty which costs around 2.5-3.5K/yr can be availed through calling up HP care or visiting a HP service center. The one which we and others on forum who purchased it are aiming for are under a special limited time offer:

*www.hp.com/in/peaceofmind

All the terms and process are mentioned on above page. Basically if you purchased it in last 7 days, register on the above site and send the requisite docs (invoice copy, id proof, bar code sticker, cheque/dd of rs. 1133) to the address given on the page.

From what I could gather, cross-firing is automatic depending on the load but can be disabled in settings for the APU to work alone on its own.

I bought it from a multi-brand store (like croma) called e-future located in Dohil Chamber in NP. Its on the back side (metro station macd side). Ask any shop and they will point you. I went to 3 HP exclusive stores and 6 retailers and could get best price from this store only. Your mileage may vary so do check out more :lol:

I was also offered the same backpack which others here received but it wasn't of my taste so I asked him to show something else. Mine says "HP Premium Backpack" on its tag and has a leathery lining around it. Here are few pics of it:

Wow! Thanx a lot bro.Especially the pics.That was a lot more than i asked for :-D

.So tell me you planning to get any cooling pads? Meanwhile I am also planning to get the following stuff:
1) A 16 gb pendrive (this model USB 3.0)
2) An external HDD 500gb to 1TB (will have to check with the budget though.I am inclined to this one here.though not sure about the price @ stores)
3) A bluetooth mouse
4) A cooling pad( any suggestions?)
5) A good surge protector extension (probably the belkin 8 out one with insurance protection for the equipment connected)
6) A good quality,spacious and (if possible a waterproof and weatherproof) ,cool looking backpack.
So what you guys suggest? Hows the HP backpack provided with the machine? Worth it? quality?
Also guys have the hard disk prices gone down or still high up? I have no idea about market prices now.Some six-seven months back I bought a 500gb external seagate go flex for 2600 something.I dont remember exactly.
So if somebody could enlighten me on the above requirements that would be helpful.Thanks in advance

When you plug out the laptop from AC power and it runs on battery, many things automatically switch to power saving mode in the current power profile. CPU gets throttled to generate less heat for saving battery, wifi starts running in low performance mode. system starts preferring APU instead of GPU for all of the display etc etc and the end result is 4-10C drop in temperature.

Its a normal thing...

I'll start off with how Crossfire works in desktops.

I have HD 6950 2GB. If I will buy another HD 6950 2GB and Crossfire them, I'll still have 2GB memory. Memory does NOT double or add up.

I have HD 6950 2GB. If I will buy a HD 6950 1GB and Crossfire it with the 2GB HD 6950 I have, I will have 1GB memory.

If HD 7640G is set to have 512MB shared memory from BIOS and HD 7670M 1GB is Crossfired with it, the combination will have 512MB memory.

If HD 7640G is set to have 1GB shared memory from BIOS and HD 7670M 1GB is Crossfired with it, the combination will have 1GB memory.

Now you should NOT care about graphics memory in current day laptops with 1366x768 resolution.... 512MB is MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Graphics memory will matter if you are playing on 1920x1080. 512 MB is more than enough.

Laptop GPUs like GT 540M/GT 630M, HD 6770M and GT 640M are not even fast enough to make use of 512 MB VRAM. Nor is the reoslution 1366x768 high enough where high VRAM makes a difference.

when desktop processors temperature touches 75. we say it is overheating. Under load 60 is usually normal in India where the room temperature is 30-35. But in case of laptop the overheating temp is 90+. Some laptops (like last gen Apple Macbook i think) will run at 100degree without any sign of slowing down or shutdown. As told by GG the load temp is 68 when the room temperature is 45. Yes a Intel laptop without any GPU will definitely run cooler but add a GPU and the laptop will touch new height.

If you can spend 40k, better wait for Asus to refresh their K53SM. Currently with SB & a 38k pricetag makes it look terribly overpriced when it a barebone laptop with slower GPU & a 2nd gen i5. no OS, no chiclet keyboard, no bag, etc.

Fifa 12 aint much of a graphic intensive game. it should perform well even on the apu itself. Its only those games/apps which push the dgpu to its limits make this laptop gush out heat waves from its vents (though the laptop itself stays cool). For confirming anything you will have to find someone who is eager to play or have played fifa12 for 3-4 hours on this laptop. :mrgreen:

Check out review of HD 5670 desktop graphic card. Both 512 MB and 1 GB. Both perform equal. There is no performance difference because HD 5670 is simply NOT fast enough to make use of that higher memory in 1GB model.

Laptop HD 6770M performs equal to HD 5670 desktop. HD 7640G + HD 7670M crossfire will perform around HD 5670 desktop or HD 6770M laptop.

You need high video memory (more than 512 MB) if you are playing at 1080p. Don't fall for marketing and idiots how say - "i got 2Gb Gfx card...it rocks!!11"

For 1366x768, 512 MB is fine.

This laptop will run games fine for the next 2 years. Completely fine at low/mid settings.

Otherwise you always have the option of spending 55-60K on a laptop with HD 7730M/GT 650M.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

i knew it a bit but what's criteria for speed of mobile graphic cards? Thanks everybody for your help. I'm a noob

it's 1gb Bro but as said by ico it's not about memory size more than 512mb. Here speed matters more specially at low resolution

I understand @akash & @ico...
bt akash since u already have researched through the hp pavilion g62005ax;
cud u pls clear a doubt?

jst lk ico talked about crossfiring...
I NEED TO KNOW WHETHER THE 7670M IS 1GB OR 512MB AS AN INDIVIDUAL CARD IN THIS LAPTOP(FORGET ABOUT THE INTEGRATED 7640G)
pls discuss...thnx

regards
aakash

The system information program of windows (msinfo32.exe) displays it as 1Gb so should be 1Gb only.

Ico has pretty much summed it up. Don't go by memory as a lower spec GPU cannot utilize the ram anyways.

Nvidia 540M with 512mb > Nvidia 525M with 1gb > Nvidia 520mx with 2gb (although 520mx supports max 1gb only, just giving an example)

Its the core speed of GPU, number of shaders etc which matter not the amount of memory it comes with.

I haven't done any testing but benchmarks say AMD 7670m is above Nvidia 540m/630m (which is the top most GPU you can get in 35-40K range).

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

ha ha... this laptop gives what most /none of other brands provide at 31k...total worth right now..close ur eyes and buy.
If you are getting freaky over the GPU ..get ready to spend 45k plus...period !!!!

wish HP included a bigger battery. a 56Whr battery would have given it 5-6hr workload. And individual cooling fan for APU & GPU each would have helped even more.

going to visit a HP reseller tomorrow. Hope they don't quote absurd pricing.

go for it. and if HP showroom quoted 32.5k, chances are local shop will offer you same for 32k. maybe less if you are a regular customer.

In which showroom you asked, i asked in mandavali HP world the guys gave me 34k as quote, but told me Rs 2000 worth accessories free, the showroom fellows told me they will give me maximum rebate when i purchase.

warranty was 1 year and extended warranty for 1133

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

hey guys i installed hwinfo64 on my g6 . The image in the cpu part says UNLOCKED FX PROCESSOR
does this means the processor is overclockable ? I tried pscheck i tried forcing it to run above 2300 mhz it shows red in p0 state.. And hwinfo shows all 4 cores at 2300mhz. But i can select any frequency less than 2300mhz and it goes green in pscheck and confirmed by hwinfo..

ico, sam , sujay what do you guys think is the processor locked or is it because of hp bios that it is not going beyond 2300mhz even undervolting works in pscheck..

any way to find out if the cpu supports overclocking..

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

bios won't allow OC. all AMD processor allows OC as the multiplier is locked but the FSB/Hypertransport is not. With Core i series, if you change the FSB, all clocks of the processor (memory, PCIe, etc) changes that causes instability thats wht i read in SB review. That is why OC is not possible there but AMD's architecture is different and hence allowed.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

so that means there is still hope that a8 4500m can be overclocked ofcourse after someone releases a good bios for this laptop...
right ?
And someone recommend a good cooling pad for this lappy my budget is 800 rs.. Dont care about the brand .. Just 1 year warranty
And are those usb vaccum cleaner good for 200rs..

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

And finally got the machine.HP G6 2005AX!! After a half months wait and search for the best bought this from E future @ Nehru place Delhi.Thanks to aksbol and sam..I got a quote of 31200 last day when i visited the store.The guy first offered for 32500 with some extras but i quoted 'aksbol' and told him my friend had purchased this same machine from here for 31300 and he recommended this store thats why i am here.And then he agreed without much thought and the guy was so friendly and i was quite happy.

The final deal was 31200 with lap+bag (premium leather one) + MTS /Photon Dongle.And i was hoping to get it for 31k excluding the dongle.Because at the time aksbol got the lap dollar was high and now the rupee has a better gain.So hoped @ the final stettlement maybe i could close the deal for 31k.But alas my account had some trouble and i couldn't withdraw the money.Unfortunately two days went by and today i got free and decided to check out the store again.Damn that guy was on leave and a new unpleasant guy appeared.He quoted 32k.But i told him i had word with Mr. Sathish ( the good guy) and was offered for 31200.After some talk the guy came around 31300 with a mouse.(worth Rs 125).I insisted i dont need the mouse and reduce the price.But he told me its free anyway either take it for free or dont take it.This would be the last price.Damn!! Ok then again i wouldnt be free for some coupla days so i thought i let it be.And got the lap+ premium leather backpack+ mouse for 31300 final.Anyway i am quite ok with the purchase.Still wished that other guy was there.I would have atleast received a warm hi and pleasant deal.Also waited too much and i missed the redemption offer.Now the extended warranty costs 3500+.. :-(

Anyway no regrets.Also did a good lamination for 150.. :-D

And i bought along some goodies:
1) External HDD - WD 500 GB USB 3.0
2) Cooling pad - Cooler master notepal X3
3) transcend Jetflash 350 16 GB * 3 ( i gifted the two to my two younger brothers :-D

)
4) Belkin 4 out surge protector with 16 A protection
5) 2* Belkin Essential surge protector ( again one i gifted my brother along with my Vaio lappy)
And this is all folks.Maybe i will post my review soon and also post pics.

Looks like the coolermaster X3 itself. :-o

Will post the results soon rish.I previously had the Notepal X2 with my Vaio.It did the job well.And i was planning to get the same.Then i came across the X3.Specs say its got a bigger fan.The design is inspired from the X2 and is cool.(Esp the blue LED effect ;-)

) Also there's this vent at bottom to keep palms cool.Hope it doesn't dissapoint me.

Regarding the lamination its not quite odd.But still the bare cover looks nice like you said i know.BUt considering the past experience with my previous lappy i went for lamination to avoid scratches esp.One of my stupid friend put the lappy and
and some tools along in the lap sleeve and the lid got a few scratches. :duh2:

Yea..But something really went wrong.stupid me i bought the surge protector with 16A plug and its the bigger plug normally used in power plugs like that of AC.And my home sports only a few of them. :banghead:

hello everyone i am new in here

i have been a hidden admirer of thinkdigit and brought my laptop just after reading the best informative reviews from games goblin and akbsol.thank you mates

i got my hp g62005ax on 18th june.indeed it is the best budget gaming laptop anyone can lay his/her hands on

it was all fine but one problem i did faced was "creating the backup discs"
wasted around 5-6 dvds but no use. so i gave it to the service centre people.
after keeping it for 3 days they made that...pheew

and i would like to add a point that i did registered for "hp peace of mind offer"
sent them every required document on 19th june positively.

no reply from hp...

just i got a mail which made me gaze in disbelief :/

Hi, I purchased this laptop today. First impression is really good, but Im kind of pissed off with the reseller for not providing the driver CDs. I need to upgrade Windows 7 but I cant till I have the drivers and i think it'll take quite long to download.

I also find the horrible partitioning very unsettling. A C: Drive with 445 GB is just so riveting. :-x

You can find all the drivers and utilities in C:\swsetup folder. Yes the default partitioning is absurd and re-partitioning is going to be messy with already existing 4 primary partitions.

man that sucks they require those docs within 2 days ..

guys do not install 12.7 official beta drivers the performance is increased but
it is giving me problems

while on plug everything runs fine but on battery it shows the amd display driver has stopped working and has recovered then within 1 minute system freezes i cant even move the mouse but hdd lights keep blinking and the temps were changing in hwinfo

the only way is to force restart by holding power button on plug i have not encountered problem. and it is has started happening since yesterday when i installed the new drivers.

1 more thing aakash bro can you run hwinfo64 and tell me what are your normal clock speeds while on plug . my is 2.3 ghz even at idle i was playing with overclocking (doesn't work ) and underclocking yesterday so settings might have changed...

mods request you to please change the name of thread to hp g6 2005ax owners lounge . it sounds better
btw great job in merging the posts from diff threds into one. it looks clean now

Nops dude. In was in a tweaked balanced mode. In high performance it stays continuously at 2.3GHz and that is whats expected from that mode.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

those who want to know about the heating issue ..

The temperatures were

after 2 hours of gaming in following
Halo 2 - on battery 58 c
- on plug 66 c

nfs undercover - on battery 56c
- on plug 71c

cod 4 mw - on battery 54c
- on plug 68c

crysis 1 - on plug 69c

on idle on battery - 41c
on plug - 49c

while watching 720p sherlock holmes movie
on battery -43c
on plug - 51c

while benchmarking
3dmark 11 max temp was 83c it stayed around 78c
windows ei max temp was 85c it stayed around 80c

will post more as i play games
the above temp are when room temp was 40 c with a single fan . Lappy was on bed with just a book under it..

the thing is if the vents are block it gets heated in that part on 41c

but while benchmarking i lifted the laptop to provide air flow and on 80c the whole chassis was cool and i was amazed how cool it really was though the heat comming out was very hot which is a good sign how effective the cooling is.

but while on bed one or the other vent gets blocked Even after placing a book , haven't used a stand or cooling pad.
one more thing the temp are same when gaming for 10 min and when gaming for 3 hrs..

the games were played on igp .. But while benching both gpu were used so naturally more heat..

on plug i was on high performance mode where cpu ran at 2.3 ghz even on idle.

There is no heating issue.

During gaming, all modern laptops sensors will report to hit 80. It's normal. But the point is, heat being exhausted like Rish explained.

Is this laptop available in any other color than black....i visited 3 hp dealers all have black color model...even flipkart has black color model only

only available in black for now. Saholic was selling blue (their website says so) but the image they used for reference was black.

and I got my own little mean machine G6 2005ax 2 days back

so far quite happy with the performance ....currently playing not so intensive games due to time constraints, but team fortress 2 is running fine .... so does the witcher 2 and dragon age : origins

Was having internet issues so was playing so far on the HP stock drivers, have not installed catalyst control centre and fooled around with the settings there.

If am not mistaken, the default gpu configuration is the crossfire one right ?

Yea even i wish i could tell you..But my cooling pad( the piece i received) was a defective one.

Its sent for replacement.Once i receive (most probably today or tomorrow) i shall test and tell you the difference..Like you said i too am satisfied with the lap's cooling.Esp the chassis stays cool even if there's a lot heat generated (even you feel it through the exhaust).Esp when i keep my palms on the sides of the touch pad and type, i am impressed.( here i am comparing it with my previous Vaio).
My intentions why i went for the cooling pad was i needed a cooler + a good stand and the HP heating issues and the larger fan of this model help me made my decision.My lap cooler model is this
As i can tell you definitely a good cooler is a worth asset.It can drop temperatures between 4-7 degree C.It might not look a big difference in short term.But in the long run it definitely adds up to the longevity and the stability of the machine( esp if you are a gamer).
I previously had the predecessor of this cooling pad (this one).As i can say there was a temperature drop in my previous lap when gaming esp.Like i told only in the long run can you know how it adds-up to the longevity and how worth the investment is.

When i get mine replaced i will test and tell you the difference on our specific lappy.
Meanwhile you can check some reviews here:

Yea the additional warranty provided by HP under the redemption scheme has expired already.But this might be yet another deal , maybe provided by retailer.For extended warranty you dont always have to send everything directly to HP.That was for deals like the 'redemption offer'.If your retailer promises to take care of it no probs go with it. After all its the authorized HP retailer.And the deal is definitely good.Although they are taking not just 700 but some 1700+ most likely for it.(Lappy costs around 31k-31.2k actually in retails).But still its a good deal.Because anyway the extended warranty would cost you 4000+.

Dont worry this is a good deal anyway.Regarding the Max Payne 3.I tried playing with the maximum graphics settings, but there was lag.Then i went to medium and its good.But i was in a hurry to just check whether its working or not.So cant give you a detailed explanation now.Will post later.

thanks bro my friend got a chinese cooling stand/pad
identical to this one . exact copy paste of this one

Cooler Master Notepal ErgoStand Cooling Pad | Cooling Pad | Flipkart.com

he tested on his inspiron 15 r core i5 , gt 525 m

on idle his temps dropped only 3 degree

should i get this one though it is an awesome product as a stand

he got it for Rs 320

the thing is my budget is only rs 800 and i am getting a similar cooling pad which cooler master gives for rs 2200 just without the warranty of course with some cheap quality

Gollum said:

what are you saying bro ...
the best thing that i like about this laptop is its looks . it puts shame on my friends inspiron 15 r worth 46000 rs
though from front it is simple black which i find attractive and classy though it is different for diff people

but from inside it steals the show . it has the same looks of dv6 series.

look at the video

HP Pavilion g6 2000 series - YouTube

if you ask me the cons of this lappy they would be

cheap plastic at the base of the lappy compared to inspiron 15 r
and average overall build quality

but you really cannot complain at the price

and

there is NO Heating issue in this laptop
infact this is a very cool laptop if the vents are open

in an a/c room idle temps were

inspiron 15r - 43 c
hp g6 2005ax - 36c

his inspiron was as good as new one as his heat sink and the whole internals were replaced with new ones just 2 days ago

the thing is that when the vents get blocked the heat gets trapped and it makes the laptop hot .

and while charging the battery heats up

If your friend gets a drop of 3 degrees on idle i think its pretty good.Here the results are what matters.Do test it under extreme loads and heavy games for a coupla hours (with the cooling pad and without).If you get some pretty results you are good to go..

I am not sure whether this is 2 years additional warranty or 2 years total warranty. Sam can you please clarify?

Ok read it more carefully

Its 1 year standard plus 1 yr extended. Same as the redemption offer.

Both are same things Rish.. FK can prefer to call it something different but its the same offering just bundled with the product (which is nice). User won't have to go through the hassles of sending cheque, waiting etc etc. FK is charging 33390 now. So assuming the cooling pad is worth Rs.500 + Rs. 1133 for extra warranty, you are getting the laptop delivered at his home for rs. 31757. Not bad..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

aakash bro i think this is different as the warranty in the redemption offer is offsite warranty..
And this is onsite .
Secondly some other guy posted in other thread that his local hp authorised dealer was giving 1 year warranty for rs 700 with this laptop.
I didnt believe it at first but after seeing this i believe him now.

anyway the point is if this is not a redemption offer. We can also avail the warranty for rs 700. And if that happens
we will have 3 year warranty
1st year - accidental
2nd year - offsite
3rd year - onsite

just hope they have not disqualified us for this offer.

and by the way did you get your carepack from hp ?

2nd year must be onsite and last year offsite...How come 2nd year one has trouble going to service centre and in final year they will come to your place to take peice for repair.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^ yeah thats bizarre but we have already purchased 2nd year warranty for rs 1133 which is offsite one
and if we purchase this 3rd year warranty for 700 then it will be onsite one.
unless they apply their heads this will be the case

Are you sure redemption offer is offsite one? Caz I didn't see offsite or onsite mentioned on any of the offer pages. No I haven't received it yet but my account got debited of rs. 1133 yesterday only so I hope they will be processing it in coming days.

Its a 4GB DDR-3 1600MHz (Model: PC3-12800) OEM piece with micron chips (memory). Price to upgrade at HP stores varies from store to store. I had tried 4 stores and they had quoted between 2-2.5K. I feel like they do charge a premium on upgrades such as these. Alternatively you can buy a compatible piece like this one:

*img521.imageshack.us/img521/3569/mp310.jpg
now the game has some cool visuals like in the previous one and it gets better.
Ok lemme tell you this settings too didn't work like i expected.No major game play difference.So i changed to the third settings.

lol..

Now the third config was definitely better than the first two.But still wasn't the best.Again i couldn't get time to fiddle with the settings for an optimal configuration.A balance of graphics and performance.Hope somebody will spare some time and post here..

And regarding your other queries hope you are clear.USB 3.0 is backward compatible.No issues.I have the bundled cheapo mouse and i guess its USB 2.0 (if not 1.1 lol) and it works like a charm on all the ports (3.0 and 2.0).Only thing u need to install the 3.0 drivers.I have tested USB 2.0 external HDDs and pendrives too.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@All,

Thats some review to the depth!

Thanks..

Well, I am a newcomer here..and in the world of laptops too..and I was doing some research in finding a god(good) laptop in 30-40k range..

I had narrowed down on three of them:
Samsung NP300E5Z-S08IN (1gb nvidia 520mx)
Asus K53SM-SX010D (2gb nvidia 630m)
and the protagonist of this thread here: HP G6 2005AX

Well.. I personally liked this third lappy but I have some doubts..

I would like to have some clarifications on below points:

1. I went through some reviews in flipkart which said HP lappys are not durable and tend to get some or the other issues soon.

2. The whole heating problem explained in this thread, does it regard the heating of our lap(if its placed on our lap) or some part of the lappy?

3. Can I format it entirely and install W7 Ultimate 32bit with my own partition configurations(c:~100gb d:~400gb)? Would doing so increase its performance(Take Windows Experience Index for performance measurement as example..) since the architecture now is 32bit..?

4. While if I am able to complete the 3rd point above, can I install the drivers
and tools in that c:\sw** folder (where the setups are in default WHB 64 bit OS), in my new 32 bit OS? Those drivers and tools wont b compatible with 32bit right? If they aren't, from where can I get them for a 32bit OS?

5. Can u explain the default graphics settings? I didnt understand crossfiring n changing it to single mode n all that. Do these need to be done from Windows through a sw?

6. Regarding graphics, I usually would watch HD movies parallelly and would b surfing with 10-20 tabs in Opera alongwith playing COD MW or Black Ops..Can the graphics n d processor handle all these?

7. What is TurboCore?? I guessed it has to do something with overclocking...
The freq of the AMD proc is just 1.9GHZ which is very very less! Can I overclock it? How is the normal way to use this lappy then? to use turbocore software? How will I overclock it? and if I do, would it affect the battery, or other hardware or more HEATING?

8. Flipkart has some very nice offers with this..can u explain me the warranty terms like onsite , offsite , accidental and extended? I mean, what do these mean? I am really sorry but I am new to laptops and dont know about these critical things..

Please forgive me for being such a noob..but I guess u would help me with this situation I am in..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hey guys i m new here

Reading all your reviews about the amd trinity i set my mind to buy this laptop.
I m gonna use it mostly for photoshop and mainly image rendering in 3ds max. As for gaming, i m not hardcore but i play games like cs 1.6, prince of persia and the sort.
So guys help me out! Will G6-2005AX suffice my needs??
And will it hold for 3 years?
And about the RAM card...this model uses a 1600MHz one...so will the Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB work in this laptop?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

i gave 700rs extra to dealer and he told he will manage it total laptop price was 33k ...he told warranty updation is a slow process but eventually we will get it...you can do it manually also please visit
www.hp.com/in/backtocampus ....

if you want more details contact HP customer care service as i didnt go into details.. i already confirmed on g6 2005ax...added warranty was just a bonus...

i purchased my laptop on july 13th but when i checked warranty status today it says standard warranty start date 26-06-2012
expiration date 26-08-2013...does warranty start from date of purchase...???

C

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hey duke,

Really dont know how to thank u...

That was a nice n patient explanation from u.

But can u tell me if its overclockable or not because som ppl were talking that in some high performance mode, it comes to 2.3ghz n all dat?? What is this thing then?

And I agree with ur point that 64 bit is better than 32..but then 32 bit has lessr dependencies right? also, for programming and development, i use 32 bit W7.. so i kinda am stuck on 32 bit..so can u clarify on that point?

Just one more query..Is there an additional RAM slot? So I was thinking I wud get a 4gb RAM also along with this lappy..

R

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

that sucked for me ..

purchases made after 7th july only

1 year additional warranty is free for which i paid rs 1133

and 3rd year warranty costs rs 1133 which i cannot get .

akbsol , gg , anoop bro we should file a case against them ... lol... ha ha

anybody in favour of requesting them ??

depends on your budget mainly. Under 35k this is the lone laptop that offers a powerful GPU and a moderate proccy. So photoshop will easily be handled by it but no idea about rendering. Else you'll have to raise your budget to 40-42k where there is G6 2006TX.

no. the ram you linked is desktop ram. Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM . this will work.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@Sam
Thanks for the reply

Well my budget is 40k...Asus K53SM-SX010D was another model i was looking at. But i havent seen any asus service centre at my place so i decided on buying this one. Btw do u think Asus K53SM-SX010D is better than G6-2005AX?

Also i've heard that in "high performance mode" g6-2005ax runs constantly in 2.4GHz? is it true?

Asus themselves provide service rather Rashi, Digicomp, etc handles the RMA part.

Yes, Asus one is better but overpriced. 2006TX cost 1k more (40k for Asus) and you get better GPU, bag and Windows 7 genuine.

it is just too hilarious to be termed as Hilarious

at least they should have given us the option to purchase 1 year additional warrant for rs 1133 if not free , that would have minimised the frustration .

i did post a mail to them which i do not think they will even read.

and were they sleeping from 1st july to 7th july ???

anyways yeah i guess you were out of luck a bit more to fall between their sleeping period

well it's history now .. let it R.I.P

i guess they'll be planning a 3 year free warranty after 27 august lol...

you never know

ohh and dont forget to tell the performance of cooling pad when you get it ?

does anybody know where is the vent of the cpu ? is it the centre one ( large one ) or the one just besides the hard disk( small one) ?

actually i was asking about the holes from where the air passes which are underneath the laptop . i wanted to know which one is for the cpu so that i can decide about the proper cooling pad, that can blow the air directly into the holes.

Now the third config was definitely better than the first two.But still wasn't the best.Again i couldn't get time to fiddle with the settings for an optimal configuration.A balance of graphics and performance.Hope somebody will spare some time and post here..

And regarding your other queries hope you are clear.USB 3.0 is backward compatible.No issues.I have the bundled cheapo mouse and i guess its USB 2.0 (if not 1.1 lol) and it works like a charm on all the ports (3.0 and 2.0).Only thing u need to install the 3.0 drivers.I have tested USB 2.0 external HDDs and pendrives too.

I have couple of Questions

Regarding partition. The dealer told me other users of this model get problem in partitioning the disk, and wanted me to get the partition done there only..I told him i will do it later.. Has anyone done partition in this and faced any problem? Which tool was used?
Yes the screen does feel little bit blueish..Somebody did posted its solution to adjust the color. I am unable to find the post. Can anyone post the link of the post or the solution itself..?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

i tried to partition the harddisk with paragon partition manager...but it says unable to create more partitions as there are already four partition....now what to do...

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

read this:

krishnandu.sarkar said:
You can only create 4 Primary Partition. But you can as much as logical partitions.

So create a extended partition and under that create as much as logical partition you want.

*i.imgur.com/7OYIg.jpg

See, For Eg., I have created 4 Partition of which first 3 are Partition and last one Extended Partition as only 4 Partition can be created.

Now I have created 2 Logical Partition and some Free Space is there too under the Extended Partition. Here you can create any number of Logical Partition under Extended Partition.

So For Eg., If you have a 500 GB HDD. Assume First 3 Partitions to be Primary and of 60GB Each. Now create a Extended Partition of rest 320GB, as only 4 partitions can be created and this last one needs to extended in order to create more partition.

Now under this 320GB extended partition create as much as logical partition you want.

Reasons to buy
• Amd A8 quad core beats 3rd Gen i5 Source: Cpubenchmark.com
• Genuine windows 7 which can be upgraded to window 8

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

And all this while I heard i5 was better in performance than the A8?
I've read plenty of articles and only graphics was the field wherein it won over i5.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ cpubenchmark relies on passmark score which is not good..
Check notebookcheck benches of cinebench, wprime , and other softwares
it is slightly slower than i3 3rd gen and an a10 is in between i3 and i5 3rd gen..
If amd processors were running at their full capacity 2.8 ghz/3.2ghz then story would have been different. Also note llano cpu performance is better than trinity at same clock speed. A6 3500m at 2.0 ghz beats a8 4500m at 2.3ghz..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

i had gone to buy lenovo G580 3rd i5, but the salesman convinced me that g6 2005ax is better :-(

Can't we overclock this lappy processor in future when we think it's becoming a bottleneck in certain apps?

HD 7670 itself is faster than GT 630. And when HD 7640G + 7670 are run as crossfire, then it is much faster.

First of all, thanks for the reviews :doublethumb:

. This laptop looks like a real deal. Was going to buy the Samsung np300ez Corei5 @ ~35.5k, but it was out-of-stock on FK and everywhere else (almost).

Then while searching hit some HP G6 related threads and the config looked awesome for the money we are paying.

Ordered it on FK today though the price is ~33.9K. Called up 2-3 retailers in my area (suburbs, Mumbai). They quoted 35.4K & 33.4K without freebies or accessories. So decided to go with FK since they offer 900/- cooling pad + an extra years' warranty.

Expected date of delivery is 1st August, so will try to post a detailed review if I'm able to.

HP G6 2005AX Need Assistance !!

Hey people.. I bought HP g6 2005ax 2 weeks. Must say i very good laptop..
Windows experience index shown below shows the performance of this awesome laptop.

CPU - 6.7
RAM - 5.9
Graphics - 6.7
Gaming Graphics -6.7
Hard disk - 5.9

Yes.. U must be amazed by seeing 6.7 for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics.. if u want that rating set in high performance mode and disable Crossfire.. i.e.
* Disable APU+GPU..
* Set for only APU..
Then when High performance is set it wil only use dGPU instead of using dGPU+iGPU which results in higher performance because of crappy amd drivers for CROSSFIRE. :lol:

NOW THE REAL PROBLEM IS Turbo clock

I wonder if somebody can help me on this..
*When i use the laptop in hp recommended mode.. It moves between 1.4 - 1.9 ghz

* When i use in high performance mode.. it stays constantly on 1.9 ghz BUT NEVER MOVES TO 2.3 ghz.. :-(

Can some of you .. who are already using the laptop or know how it works explain me about this. plz..

Additional details : I use a gadget to monitor clock speed.

And
Wen i play games cpu temp goes upto 84 degrees(avg 80 degrees).. even with the cooler pad.. is this normal..? I stay in bangalore and its not too hot here.

Additional Details : Im using zebronics cooler pad.. People who are using cooler master can share their reviews about cooling.

Shops tell customers to avoid AMD because of the heating problem in earlier AMD Processors.. But Now its totally good.. I have this laptop and it stays at 35 degrees in normal operation but goes to 80 degree while gaming (like any other gaming laptop would do). Trust Hp g6 2005ax.. Go for it my friend !!

1. There is mechanism to on/off dGPU in ati catalyst control panel. if u off dgpu .. it uses only apu graphics.. The other option is APU+dGPU which use both of them. There is a way for which u can select GPU for each application.
For games select high performance mode(dGPU) or other light apps use Power Saving Mode(APU).

2. The laptop comes with two partitions C and D drive(recovery). Leave the D drive as it is and U can shrink the size of C drive.. then Free space is created and u can create more drives in the free space.

3. All the drivers and basic softwares are pre-installed.. No need of anything extra.

4.My friend, u will be amazed to know that u can play MAFIA II on high settings without any lag on 30 FPS(Everything High PhysX turned OFF) .. :-D

You have not experienced this gaming beast. Here are the other games which worked on this laptop :
* NFS Run - All Medium setting , Texture ultra - 30 FPS :-D

All High Setting , Texture ultra - 25 FPS

* Dirt Showdown - Everything Maxed OUT !! - 40 - 50 fps :lol:

* Assassin's Creed Revelations - All maxed Out - 35 - 45 fps :-D

*GTA IV - All maxed out - Avg. 25 fps :wink:

Hope This was helpful to everyone who wants to buy this laptop. :-o

Guys please update AMD catalyst driver ...earlier i could run Arkham City with only medium settings ....and dual graphics was underutilized ...now after update i can run with everything high except stereoscopic 3d vision which requireds NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800....even with these high settings game runs butter smooth with 25-30fps....Also a AMD Dual Graphics banner appears while playing which was not earlier....so update your old drivers to get maximum performance....

i tried 12.6 12.7 BETAs...installed but AMD vision control engine was not running...evry time installation had failures....even tried to update from their site but face systems crashes....later i downloaded 12.6 from here..installed with complete success...no problems...
Download AMD Catalyst 12.6 Software Suite Vista/7 64-bit | techPowerUp
....everything worked perfectly...VISION control engine ran again...windows rating improved....also i played batman with high settings with AMD Dual graphics enabled...
While playing Arkham city the temperature of CPU rose to 91C and GPU 75C...just after exiting game it returns to 50C...is it normal....

From now on, I'll delete every post which uses WEI as a "benchmark" for performance.

WEI is meaningless. Run a game if you want to judge performance. WEI is *nothing*.

Hi all...i bought it for 31700 rs from croma wth bag. Croma offered 2 yrs additional warranty foR 2500 rs. I need to decide on it in next 14 days. question is wud that be a better one than being offered by hp? croma said, their advntg is, for any chronic issues, they will reimburse equal amt worth credit note for buying in croma. sounded interesting but dont know if any one has any exprnc on this.

overall happy with my purchase.few points frm my side-no heating issue whatso ever during normal operations. screen qlty is good. keyboard cud hv been better-may be i need to get used to it.

Hv some issues i need someone to suggest me please on -
1 -- the brightness of the screen changes, goes up when a new window is opened. Then goes down after a while. All this is in step-increments or reductions. And happens some times only, but is visible.

2 -- why there are two folders for 1) Program Files 2) Program files (x86) in c drive? is this to be worried abt? hope its a std windows 7 basic set-up.

3 -- my main concern - why is the memory consumption going way up , almost by 500 MB when Internet Explorer is opened. The Internet explorer is not the fastest in terms of response as well. Youtube is quite slow. I am using Tata Photon + and the signal strength is 96%, which is not bad at all.
overall mem consmption touches just abt 2.1 gb with 3/4 tabs open on IE

Well, Thanks to all, for all info shared up till now. Did help me decide on my buying choice. There was a good looking Sony i3 processor one which tempted me but I made the right use of my money. so thanks again.

2) Its due to the fact that your OS is of 64 bit. And since a 64 bit OS supports both 32 bit and 64 bit apps natively, so all the 64 bit programs are stored in "Program Files" folder and 32 bit programs are stored in "Program Files x86" folder.

3) Try another broswer like Opera/Firefox. Still IE shouldn't use that much memory. Check programs running in background. Which anti-virus are you using ?

Urgently..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

laptop doesn't start in normal mode? i think you should try the default driver else first clean the previous incomplete driver installation using driver sweeper.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Thanks Sam..

Here is wat has happened so far..

At 10PM 4th Aug
I uninstalled my current AMD catalyst.
then I ran AMD catalyst 12.6..in middle it crashed..screen went blank..switched with power off button..
after restarting windows, it wudnt start in normal mode..screen used to go blank..
Then after some googling..went in safe mode..uninstalled both graphics card from device manager..then was able to start windows normally..
Then again tried 5-6 times to install 12.6 but everytime same result

Even old driver was not installing..
The thing i was doing wrong in installing old driver was that i was manually installing it from swsetup folder given by HP..
Then i used HP recovery manger and installed the old display driver..and everything back to normal..i hope.. (time 5AM 5th Aug)

Few questions now:

I read the release notes of 12.6 and it said
"The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:
Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks"
So i think this driver is not for this laptop? how did some of the users use 12.6??

After trying to install reinstall driver so many times Have i screwed up the windows registry?
I tried to do system restore of the restore point which i had made..but its not restoring..giving some error.
Shud i use the original factory setting option in hp recovery manager?

Need ur expert advice..

At roughly 21k INR equivalent, an A6 based machine. Name ONE machine that's better at being an entry-level laptop with plenty of room for multitasking! Its the cheapest Quad Core

overpriced and actually huge.

Its NOT overpriced for what it offers! 9-cell battery, 17.3" screen, 1600x900 screen resolution, A10, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD - this is really VFM for offering all this! And its MEANT to be huge. Its a desktop replacement that'll be great for games and watching movies as well as doing lots of document editing and coding work. :mrgreen:

we need 14-15" with A10 and no dGPU.

From mobility perspective, I need a 13.3" ultrabook with A10, no dGPU and a 9-cell or 12-cell battery. But sadly none spotted yet. :cry:

BTW, its true. Trinity offers monster battery life. 3-4hr and still running. Tested all sort of things except WiFi and still have 28% battery (1hr) left.

You on a 6-cell battery ? And did you disable the discrete GPU by any chance ?

which game you played...i played arkham city with high settings ...within 5 minutes of gameplay cpu temp rises from 50C to 90C....

the drivers have crappy issues....AMD catalyst site have mentioned they will switchable graphics support in 12.8...i tried so many versions but none worked.....same problems as above...AMD site has given 12.6 beta may be thats the problem...finally i got this version
Download AMD Catalyst 12.6 Software Suite Vista/7 64-bit | techPowerUp
i think this is the final 12.6 version...install was clean without any problems...and Vision became running again...installed this update for a week no problems yet ...arkham city runs good with dual graphics....only problem is core temp...after 30minutes of gameplay GPU 75C,CPU 85-90C, and idle 50C...

Sam are there any more upgraded models coming soon.

I was almost getting this .Than i was shown samsung np 550p and i am completely blown by it.

Now i am saving extra and diverting my tablet budget for that lappy .

But the extinction of extended warranty is holding me back for few months and i can wait for much better model though i know both of them cant be compared.

notebookcheck reviewed it with 6-cell battery i guess and gave it poor rating. actually for anyone that want to game, GPU won't be sufficient.

don't expect these kind of specs though Asus always had surprised us with some odd but really matching configs.

MetalheadGautham said:

yup. 6-cell 47Whr battery. switching between high performance and power saving but on HP it was offering just 1hr ~39min backup i.e. dual GPU on or 7670M on.

550p have a small problem. the 90W power brick is not sufficient. that kind of hardware require more power and many have said about throttling when gamed. i'll link to the thread soon. not a big issue but Samsung should address it soon.

You mean to say the battery or the power charger?

Also if its the charger cant one use a third party high wattage charger for a lappy?

one can but how safe it is i don't know.

played Burnout Paradise and Skydrift for 2hr with dual GPU on in high performance mode (2.3Ghz constant).

this is the end result. The left arm rest gets really heated up but all other part stays cool. Also fan does blow out hot air efficiently. Room temperature was 30-35 and no cooling pad or anything was there. game was maxed out and no slowdown whatsoever.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hi all,
I bought this machine 1 week before. Since the Pre installed OS was worth nothing, immediately switched to Win 7 ultimate 64 bit..
Going good till now...
Tested the following games and running conditions..
Arkham assylum - high settings -- smooth
Dirt 3 - medium settings - smooth
NFS HP - high settings - smooth
AC Revelations - Med settings - smooth..
Sorry that i didnt went for the FPS in each game..

Everything is fine, updated the catalyst driver to 12.6 from the link given in this forum...
But the startup seems a bit laggy... and 2 times the screen went blank.. restarting solved the issue..

help needed about Linux: which distro is compatible with this trinity processor... i found that only kernel 3.4 and above is compatible with this new processors...
if anybody is using any distros of linux, please share their view...

Sam said:
i went to safe mode and simply did a system restore. everything was back to normal within minutes.

yup. thats means this laptop too i guess as one can switch from fGPU to dGPU.

Then howcome some other users are able to install it?

Sam said:
just cleanup registry using CCleaner or so.

Ok i will do that.

Sam said:
from safe mode also?

didnt think of that...I didnt try restore in safe mode..

Everything seems to be running fine now..do i need to do a restore or back to factory settings?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

No heating issue with the laptop...

just wanted to ask if anyone is experiencing change in brightness after switching between different tabs or applications..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

First of all, Thanks to all of you for maintaining such a nice and informative thread about this laptop.

I have read each and every post in this thread & I'm now sure that this is complete VFM for gaming.

But I've got a one very big concern regarding the temperature of this laptop.Everyone has confirmed that temperature raises to 90 degree while gaming. This seems very high though. Won't this high temperature reduce the life of this laptop drastically? I'm going to buy my first laptop and this is the biggest doubt in my mind.

So kindly share your experience and knowledge on this matter

if everything works normally then no need to restore again.

ronny22 said:

yup. There is a setting in AMD CCC about auto brightness adjust. try ticking it off. also this change in brightness arises when the brightness is set at 50% or higher.

if you can wait, A10 should cost 35-36k or maybe more at launch.

if you game on any laptop, temperatures will touch 90 or even 100. you can't do anything about it other than getting yourself a cooling pad. But at least in this laptop even after heavy gaming, only left side heats up a badly with rest everything running exceptionally cool.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ yup sam, first time went for inquiry i saw a brown one. it was kept for display. but i said i need the black one. iam also concerned with the temp (after reading your review) , anybody put some light about crossfire performance in dx11 games , right now dont have games to test.

does gaming performance have a effect from win7 hb and win7 ultimate, it may be noob question but i saw many posts saying win7hb was not good so installed win7ultimate.

and finally those who bought from flipkart which model coolermaster cooler did they provided

L

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I dont think win7hb and ultimate will make any difference in gaming..i personally dont like Win7hb coz its missing the aero theme

(transparency) and bout the cooling pad..
this was the reply from Flipkart to my query.. Cooler Master Notepal D-Lite Cooling Pad | Cooling Pad | Flipkart.com

Graphics driver is there and usually HDMI audio works so maybe audio driver will work too. but bluetooth, wifi, wtc mayn't work. And finding the exact driver is not easy. Though all drivers are given so you may try installing them.

droid5 said:

yup paid for the W7 license also (part of the whole deal). so better stick to whats given rather than installing ultimate.

Use the 15$ upgrade to Windows 8 Professional offer when Windows 8 launches. It'll have XP Compatibility mode most probably.

available locally for 32k but without cooling pad or extra warranty. moreover FK won't ship to my place

most laptop heats up even more. and i guess 90 is processor temperature so its on the higher side but fine.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Bought this laptop for Rs. 35154 (in EMI installment).. In fact I'll get it tomorrow (with speaker, keyguard, cleansing agent, bag, tata photon +, a reebok shoe)
I'll move to delhi in 24hours (new sem of college).. I need to create a recovery disk and partition the drives. Since this is my very first lappy, any guidance regarding this will be helpful. Also any tips of what settings and changes I should do after receiving it.
I wont get a cooler & will be gaming a lot, so need to buy it. Noob question: whats the difference between a Rs.200 cooler and a Rs.900 one?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hey guys,
i just got this laptop some weeks ago...
thanks for the wonderful review....

just that i had a query...about the hard disk in this laptop.

i was supplied with a toshiba hard disk in the laptop
.....which gives transfer speeds from one partition to another around 11Mbps which is unexpected!. It starts around 30-35 and then falls.

for copying to and from a usb drive it averages speeds around 20Mbps !

i was hoping if somebody could provide benchmarks for the same and let me know if that is normal or do i have to get a replacement !!

thanks in advance.

toshiba HDD are known to be slow. are you sure the package was not tempered with anyway cause in all other case its Seagate that got shipped.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@ forum friends,the reviews of this laptop:---> HP G6 2005AX - powered by Trinity,pouring in is quite making an impression and mark.
Are there any battery issues,which was plaguing HP two years before?

Still like @Sam and others, my preference and wait is for ASUS or (SAMSUNG - personal choice) with AMD A10 APU.

Patience is a virtue....

I had to do a clean install on my GF's lappy cuz she forgot her password

Now i need to download all the drivers as hp didnt gave any driver disc. Can anyone post the list of drivers i need to download? There are tons of different drivers on hp website for the same laptop component but with different manufacturers name. I can download all of them and try till one of them works but that is gonna waste a lot of bandwidth and time. So please help me.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

first try the display driver from here: AMD Catalyst Drivers 12.8 and rest i think will be pretty much same except for USB driver.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

which wireless driver to choose? there are a lot of manufacturers

Now I'm facing a weird problem. After installing the 12.8 drivers. The Fan is constantly on in maximum speed mode. Its like a hair dryer. Really distracting to work on laptop cuz fan makes so much noise. This is when I'm doing nothing heavy on the laptop. Just browsing. This was not the case before the clean install of windows. Any help would be great.

sometimes the fan turns itself off for a few seconds and then turns on. It is doing this again and again.

frigging annoying.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

it is fine. all laptops heats up to that temperature. you have have heard about laptops with their motherboards getting burnt, usually they gets heated to 110+ or the vents get blocked hence shooting temp up and frying the board.

63? for the same game? looks impossible. maximum drop should be 2-3 not 25-28. well, were you gaming on the APU with discrete graphics off? this is the only way one can get 6Xdegree temp while gaming.

Re: HP G6 2005AX Need Assistance !!

first of all, hello, i am a new proud owner of this amazing laptop, and so far has been satisfied with its performance immensely.

meetajaykumar.93 said:
Hey people.. I bought HP g6 2005ax 2 weeks. Must say i very good laptop..
Windows experience index shown below shows the performance of this awesome laptop.

CPU - 6.7
RAM - 5.9
Graphics - 6.7
Gaming Graphics -6.7
Hard disk - 5.9

Yes.. U must be amazed by seeing 6.7 for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics.. if u want that rating set in high performance mode and disable Crossfire.. i.e.
* Disable APU+GPU..
* Set for only APU..
Then when High performance is set it wil only use dGPU instead of using dGPU+iGPU which results in higher performance because of crappy amd drivers for CROSSFIRE.

NOW THE REAL PROBLEM IS Turbo clock

I wonder if somebody can help me on this..
*When i use the laptop in hp recommended mode.. It moves between 1.4 - 1.9 ghz

* When i use in high performance mode.. it stays constantly on 1.9 ghz BUT NEVER MOVES TO 2.3 ghz..

Can some of you .. who are already using the laptop or know how it works explain me about this. plz..

Additional details : I use a gadget to monitor clock speed.

And
Wen i play games cpu temp goes upto 84 degrees(avg 80 degrees).. even with the cooler pad.. is this normal..? I stay in bangalore and its not too hot here.

Additional Details : Im using zebronics cooler pad.. People who are using cooler master can share their reviews about cooling.

Although i still haven't managed to get those WEI, but i do have seen the CPU hit a max core frequency of 2.82 Ghz

then dGPU is off unless you have tweaked or changed setting in CCC. i doubt there is any laptop that can run game at high details easily keeping temperature at 60.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

buy the HP. I don't know how the Acer looks and infact for the first time seen such a glossy Acer laptop. Samsung is overpriced like hell when HP can be had for 32k with bag.

yea
plus HP is also providing that cooler master cooling pad
the only let down is 3hr battery backup

on the other hand
Samsung --> 5 hrs

Are you sure about this ... cause i have spent 4+ hours on this battery and still 28% was left ... i watched 2 episodes, chatted on fb, completed one office document on word, listened to 10 so songs ... when i decided to plug in the laptop ..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Bought this laptop today only locally. Price Rs 34k. They say the price have increased around Rs 400 . Got only bag and a mouse. and Xbox 360 controller at Rs 1350.

@piyush...is HP really giving cooling pad with it???

Piyush said:

better to buy it locally and then decide if you need a cooling pad. total should be less than flipkart. Also that way the shopkeeper may partition the HDD.

Piyush said:

don't believe in flipkarts no. I bet Acer laptop will never offer 6hr battery though possible in case of Samsung. i have used the laptop and battery backup is 2hr only if you max out brightness or play game else 4hr or more (if you underclock the processor).

mooon said:

no. its an offer by flipkart. thats why asking almost 2k more.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

so what will be the expected value that I may get when buying locally?

and also what about the rumor that this laptop heats up pretty fast
specially WASD side when playing games

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

my friend bought it for 32.4k a month back (the unit i reviewed). Another shop was giving it for 33k 2months ago with many crap items. haven't visited the shop since then so no idea if there is any change in street price. Can try HP world but they'll ask a premium and offer you nothing. 32-32.5k is the expected price with bag.

true. the left side palm rest gets really hot if you play some demanding game (if discrete GPU is on). I felt it cause i use WASD key combos. But thats the only part to heat up so using arrow keys will fix it but that may spoil gaming fun. keyboard never felt warm irrespective of game or not.

no use. as soon as the discrete GPU kicks in, temperature shoots up. But using arrow keys or some other keys at the middle fixed it. When gaming on APU, laptop remains within manageable temperature but that also means you can't max out on any modern game.

Hi all i have another query and it is regarding Hard disk partition in Hp laptop as recenty i took Hp envy ultrabook and cld not partition as hp already has HP tools and system partition so cannot make another partition .So is it same with HP G6 2005ax as i would like to purchase and make partition in it.

it shows 7.Xhr remaining if you turn off wifi, lowest brightness, dual GPU off, proccy underclocked at 89-92% battery. Maybe actual backup will be around 6hrs only but still thats more than enough.

The AMD Catalyst Software suit didnt work for me...that was one of the many unsuccessful versions i tried...but my computer didnt crash...AMD vision control center stopped running...
if you visit the release notes page of AMD catalyst software suite 12.8,12.6 it is mentioned that

The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:

Any notebook launched after this driver release.
Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks.

while in 12.6 version its also mentioned
AMD Catalyst 12.6 does not support any Mobile APU. Support will be added in AMD Catalyst 12.8.
somehow i got lucky to install 12.6 version...maybe this means 12.8 will install without problems for all..

why spend so much on cooling pad r! IMO buy any Chinese cooling pad for 200-300 they work fine.
if you are brand conscious then buy.

Re: My review of HP G6-2005AX laptop having AMD A8-4500M Trinity processor..

Sam said:
when desktop processors temperature touches 75. we say it is overheating. Under load 60 is usually normal in India where the room temperature is 30-35. But in case of laptop the overheating temp is 90+. Some laptops (like last gen Apple Macbook i think) will run at 100degree without any sign of slowing down or shutdown. As told by GG the load temp is 68 when the room temperature is 45. Yes a Intel laptop without any GPU will definitely run cooler but add a GPU and the laptop will touch new height.

If you can spend 40k, better wait for Asus to refresh their K53SM. Currently with SB & a 38k pricetag makes it look terribly overpriced when it a barebone laptop with slower GPU & a 2nd gen i5. no OS, no chiclet keyboard, no bag, etc.

Hey Sam since u hv used 2005ax cud u solve my doubt ?
Is 7670m (individually) in 2005ax as powerful as a regular 7670m in different laptops? or there are limitations as the 7670m in 2005ax is ideal for dual graphics?
This question rises in my mind as I have seen the benchmarks for 7670m in sites like notebookcheck.com & others and I thought it wud be a good gpu (before buying) but now I am observing quite a few of lags in gaming and it doesnt seem like its 7670m!

7670M is same for all laptop. So yes it will perform same and not related to dual graphics.
maybe your laptop is not using the discrete GPU. many times (when in battery) you'll have to force the laptop to use the discrete GPU. i have played bulletstorm with almost everything max'd out and yet the game ran without a single lag when on discrete GPU but is almost unplayable on fusion GPU. check the Trinity performance analysis by me. i have given steps to force the use of 7670.

play the AMD CCC settings to get the best battery backup and best gaming performance. on default settings, this one doesn't offer even half of its potential.

you have done it right. you can check the same from CCC if processor is set to run at 1900 or capped at 1400. better do tinker a bit with these settings if you think you are not getting the best out of your laptop.

Pixelated movies?

Does anybody else feel the movies come highly pixelated in this laptop? Also low res movies are unplayable? I downloaded lots of low-res movies in my earlier laptop and they played well. But in this laptop, they seem unplayable. The picture quality just sucks!
Is it a problem with the drivers or the WIN 7 OS or the hardware?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

unplayable in what sense?
the laptop simply refuse to play the movie or the movie frames lags?

also which video player?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ go to AMD CCC and force the processor to run at 1.9Ghz by sliding max and min scale to 1.9Ghz. once turbo kicks in, it'll hit 2.3-2.5Ghz constant, not above that.

When I try to do something with the 2gb drive, it says the above mentioned.

If I click Yes then it says the above mentioned, so what should I do now.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Dynamic discs are not supported by Windows Home Basic

from the screenshot, you have 4 primary partitions, thats the max no. of partitions you can have.

There are three types of partitions: primary partitions, extended partitions and logical drives. A disk may contain up to four primary partitions (only one of which can be active), or three primary partitions and one extended partition. In the extended partition, the user can create logical drives (i.e. "simulate" several smaller-sized hard drives).

Source
you must have got this error msg too
"You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains maximum number of partitions."

Go thru this tutorial - Partition / Extended : Logical Drives - Windows 7 Forums
Method 2 = your situation.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Thanks a lot buddy, for giving me that link.

I was able to solve the problem without touching recovery partition.

I am now able to create extended partitions of my C drive, but I have two questions:
I hope nothing is different, now that my C drive is not a primary drive but a logical one. Does it make my computer a little slower? Because I am feeling a very slight lag.
Secondly will I be able to install windows 8 if I make another extension or partition of my C drive. Will windows 8 be installed in it? I mean I want a dual booting system, with windows 7 and 8 as well.
Thanks

Guys m going to buy this laptop the only thing that is bothering me is the build quality of this laptop I want to know it from u guys how is the build quality of this laptop????

B

It's decent for the price. But remember, In Pavilion G6 'G' stands for 'Glossy'

Build quality is just fine but the lid's cover feels cheap.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Thanks duke, I've just received the lappy but am totally confused over 2 things.. firstly, I can't find the model no. on it's body..just at one place it's written pavillion g6 :-x

no "2005ax"..then another BIG problem..it shows 4 gb RAM is installed,but only 3.5 gb is usable.. :-x

what is all this sh**? :-(

HP doesn't like to flash it long model no all over the body like other manufacturers. Near the display G6 is written and thats it.
About missing 512MB ram, Radeon 7640G (APU graphics) requires memory so 512MB is allocated to it.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Ok thanks..

but does this non-availability or ram would decrease the performance? I mean should I disable integrated graphics or something like that to use that unavailable memory? When I would disable dual graphics and would use high performance mode to play games, would that memory still be unusable? :-(

P.S: It was awesome to see my name in that owner list of this lappy.. :-D

i have tried arkham city runs with slight lag at these settings(extreme)..at medium settings it runs smoothly....but core temp will be around 90C...

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

yes for me exact situation the temperature reaches 90 within 5 minutes of gameplay and fluctuates between 90-95C. the GPU temperature 75-80C..i played continuously for 3 hours but didnt experience any lags...for other low end games(counter strike 1.6,GTA San Andreas) CPU core is about 75C..but i am worried whether this is safe...will it fry the board...??

yes..turn off dual Graphics and run game in high performance mode....i tried this with arkham city ..
earlier dual graphhics performance was better(almost double in benchmarks) compared to using only GPU...but after the driver update to 12.8 there is no performance difference ...same benchmarks for dual graphics enabled/disabled....earlier WEI was lower(6.1 and 6.4) when dual graphics was enabled but now its same 6.7 for graphics and aero for dual graphics enabled/disabled..i am now experiencing negligible difference with switching..

posted this pic sometime ago. *i.imgur.com/azB4O.jpg this clearly shows that while the GPU remains cool, the laptops heats up and as at that time Trinity was not supported by HWMonitor so the processor readings are missing but i found something. Go to the 550P review at review section, there a similar screenshot is posted of HWMonitor which shows the laptop temperature and processor temperature to be same. So i guess, 90 is proccy temperature or sensor that is placed near the processor.

Hello guys.
I bought this machine 2 months ago for Rs35,000 with 1 year warranty. No CD/DVDs supplied.One mouse and Bag. Bought from Dimapur,Nagaland so it was expensive.
My experience so far.
Pretty good for certain games. I played Assasins Creed Brotherhood and the performance is pretty bad. Like choppy framerates. my PC with HD 4670 runs smoother.Other than that COD MW3 ran good but i faced framerate hiccups,like occasional drop in frame rate, whether i played at high settings or low VGA resolution settings. Gaming get really hot and i cant play for more than 3-4 hours cuz it gets scarily hot. On battery i can game for maximum 90 to 100 mins. Dunno how people manage 4 hours gaming on battery.
My laptop is always at the HP Recommended settings.
In short, i am pretty unsatisfied with the gaming performance and overall battery stamina
I have one big problem.
I set Warcraft 3 in power saving mode from Catalyst Control Center. But still the laptop gets hot when i play this game. I wish it could display all the apps that are on Power Saving mode,as it only shows the last 3 recent apps.

Sometimes i doubt whether Warcraft 3 is in Power Saving mode,
Another curiosity...when i open HWinFO64, under Video Adapter i see only the 7640 graphics listed
And cant i go higher than 1900Mhz?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Being the ONLY true quad core around 30-35k, a lot of people I know are buying it

A couple of questions on behalf of a friend: Does HP also have 3-years extended warranty plan (or longer) ? And how is linux support for Trinity's switchable graphics and crossfirex ?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^ Linux support for any and every switchable graphics sucks. Whether AMD or nVidia.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Does atleast crossfire work properly with trinity on Linux ?

And does the BIOS have inbuilt option to select output GPU (manual switchable graphics by rebooting

)

Recovery disks gone Kaput

I made a Big mistake of purchasing some cheaper quality disks from Moser Baer(costing 15rs each) for using as recovery disks. Today I checked them, and due to humidity or other factors, 3 of the 5 recovery dvd's got destroyed. They have become corrupt and unreadable on my dvd rw.

Now I'm in a dilemma. HP gives permission for only one set of recovery disks. Is there any means to create another set of recovery disks?

This seriously is one big trouble, I too wished that we could create the recovery disks as many time as we wanted. Incase anybody does find a solution to this, please tell me as well.

isn't it possible to create image of the recovery discs? or the hp recovery software create iso image directly rather than writing to a disc?

I suppose yes, making iso files of the recovery disks is also possible, but somebody will have to confirm.

Another method which I think might be possible is that we restore our system to the factory settings using the recovery software and then make another batch of recovery disks, do you think this is possible?

What`s about Windows 7 Home Basic? Can Windows 7 Home Basic run every game? or there is difference in Windows 7 Other Editions about game compatibility?
How many partitions are there when we first time start laptop? If my windows got virus, what will i do? Can I restore orignal windows? I searched it and found thar there will be a restore partition. Will restoring format my games and movies?

Please reply as soon as posible. I am going to buy this today. I think this laptop will run almost every game. M I right?

If you get a virus, scan with any updated anti virus such as Avast or ESET. And yes you can restore using restore partition. It won't format your other partitions until you select the option to do.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Guys tell me one thing, if we compare the processor of this model then who can it be compared to against the Intel processors, i.e i3, i5 or i7?

performance wise beats i3 or performs same. gets beaten by i5. though will be nice to test a turbo'd A8 (~2.5Ghz) against i5. i am sure A8 can't beat i5 but may perform really close to 2nd gen i5 models.

magnet said:

but it is best and i doubt other manufacturers will take the same route. samsung margin of profit in that model is extremely slim. other manufacturers will be happy to offer a 4GB GT630 instead.
Its more like they want to show the world what they can deliver under 50k so their lowend models get more hits.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

If compared to Intels Core-i3-series, the A8-4500M offers less performance in most cases..

doesnt that mean A8 < i3

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

check anandtech's benchmark. they show the real deal unlike notebookcheck.
AMD Trinity General Performance. 4500M should be same or slightly better than 3500M. and i3 trails A8 (and A10) all the time.

The reason why I am saying this is because I had selected either of these three: HP G6 2005AX, Samsung NP300E5Z-S08IN Laptop 2 Gen Ci5/4GB/750GB/1GB: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Samsung Notebook, Samsung NP300E5Z-A0PIN Laptop (Titan Silver): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Samsung Notebook

And I just wanted to make sure that I have made the best choice, have I made the best choice guys?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

depends upon how you think and use it. i have used core i3 laptops without any GPU and when using the A8 i found both to be same. i5 will offer more performance but if you don't use the extra power then no use saying i5 is the best. maybe i5 will last longer (not working lifetime, performance life) but without any discrete GPU you are canning any chance of gaming as HD4000 can only run some new games at proper resolution. A8 is sufficient for everyday tasks and G6 2005AX is a completely balanced package. it beats other laptop in some area, gets beaten in rest but never gets outgunned (average proccy, decent GPU, sufficient ram, genuine windows, no abnormal heating, okiesh battery backup, free goodies, acceptable pricetag) by any sub 40k laptop. This is the only reason why it is FK's one of top rated laptops and here too.

from anandtech:

A 25% lead for Intel is pretty big, but what you don’t necessarily get from the charts is that for many users, it just doesn’t matter. I know plenty of people using older Core 2 Duo (and even a few Core Duo!) laptops, and for general office tasks and Internet surfing they’re fine. Llano was already faster in general use than Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 class hardware, and it delivered great battery life. Trinity boosts performance and [spoiler alert!] battery life, so it’s a net win. If you’re looking for a mobile workstation or something to do some hardcore gaming, Trinity won’t cut it—you’d want a quad-core Intel CPU for the former, and something with a discrete GPU for the latter—but for everything else, we’re in the very broad category known as “good enough”.

Hey guys can you tell me how can I open AMD vision engine control centre when I need to? Secondly do you guys also face problem with the sound when connecting the laptop to a TV via HDMI cable?

for first option, Desktop> right click> ccc. i hope you meant catalyst control center as i have not seen anything called vision control center.

Good News :grin:

The biggest news with the latest iteration of Enduro is that AMD is planning to make universal reference drivers available for all the Enduro laptops. It’s not clear precisely what that means, but potentially any laptop with Dynamic Switchable Graphics or later (e.g. PX4.0 and later) would be supported by AMD’s “reference” drivers. That’s huge, and if AMD can deliver it will assuage most of our concerns with their hardware/software. Hopefully none of the OEMs get bent out of shape or refuse to allow support, which is a problem we've seen in the past. We should see the first public release in the next month or two, and then another release somewhere in the November/December timeframe.

*i.imgur.com/dzoHA.jpg

this is huge cause current AMD CCC is all messed up and assigning a game to use use a particular power source requires one to bang his head for more than a day. I been playing with AMD CCC for almost 6-7yrs now and it took me several hours to find why games run fast at times and slow at others and finally to configure it the right way. Will help the rest of 99.9% peoples who have no idea what switchable graphics is.

AMD Enduro looks promising and notebookcheck did a review of a supported model -
*www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-Series-5-535U4C-Notebook.80531.0.html
Although our G6 has the same processor platform the GPU isn't a "Graphics Core Next" or GCN model, wonder whether Enduro will be made available. I'll search more on this.

BTW today I experienced the most unprofessional treatment by HP. They put my 3 years warranty claim on hold because the price was hiked to 1700. The shocking part is that I registered and duly submitted documents during the previous price bracket of 1133 and was even sent a confirmation mail by HP instructing me to pay that price.
Now they're saying the cheque I've sent is "wrong" and that I have to send new cheque for 1700 "within two days" or else they'll reject my claim which is completely ridiculous as couriers take at least 4 days to deliver from my place.
I'm baffled!

You still haven't bought the laptop? We had the convesation two weeks back. Anyway, you will already have genuine home basic so you will not need to enter any key, Your laptop performance will not be affected even if you use a pirated OS.

my friend tried this and his OS entered trial mode (3days left to activate, etc). Instead try any mods or hacks to enable missing feature. Only thing that i missed is the personalize option (& windows transparency) which i guess can be enabled without indulging in piracy or trying WAU keys.

i will ask to order this laptop to shopkeeper. i visited so many shops and they said that they have no listender about this laptop before. other said amd processor cannot be repaired. they suggested my laptops under rs.35,000 which were i3.

For me it takes less than two hours, around 1.40 to charge.

BTW I think there's some "evil trickery" in our machines that disables the use of LiveCDs. I tried Ubuntu but after booting into the option screen no matter what I choose, live mode or installation mode, it ends up restarting. I also tried my old XP disc but after booting and setup screen same thing happens.
This can be troubling for Linux fans or even those trying to clean install their system.

almost all laptops touch ~90 when you game with GPU at full load. just the heating area will be different.

Sorry guys that I am cutting in like that but I want to ask one thing I recently installed Windows Ultimate on another partition on my HP G6 2005AX and I saw that the fan was blowing very warm air but when I am using the default Windows Basic which was there whe I bought this device, the fan was normal. Does it mean that the "HP coolsense" software helps in keeping the laptop cool or is it something else?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

yes obviously. coolsense = auto fan control software. i am not sure what other such software are there but coolsense really works.

Okay good to know that coolsense works but now the question arises, what will I do when I install windows 8 ? It won't have coolsense, so is it downloadable? Any alternatives? I don't want my PC to keep blowing super warm air for no reason.

i doubt it'll detect so much. maybe when gaming/load the fan speeds up and at other time, slows down.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hi trinity friends,
i am facing a weird issue now,
- sometimes after log on the screen starts flickering very badly and goes blank for about 1 sec,
seeing this i changed the refresh rate of screen to 40 Hz, then the flickering stopped.
- but when i again log on with 40 Hz refresh rate the screen went black after the boot logo, and i have to do a
system restore via safe mode to solve it, and when flickering after log on i changed the refresh rate to 40 hz, the
screen went normal , and i changed back it to 60 hz because i cannot boot with 40 Hz settings..

I use 12.8 version of catalyst.. is there any problem with it??

Also about the Battery life, Its reduced to around 1.30 - 1.45 Hr drastically

..
earlier i was getting around 2.30 hrs..
i used a duplicate charger for one week coz i forgot the original charger at work place, but i checked the
voltage output of the charger is 19 v while buying it..
will the duplicate charger cause damage to the battery ?

Please Help..

Hi friends..

For partitioning the C drive, I have used acronis utility and since all of the 4 partitions in this lap are primary partitions , i have changed the recovery partition to a logical one and created a new logical partition after formating the c drive and installed Win 7 Ultimate 64.

recovery software won't check if you are having 1 or 10 drive. it requires the space and the recovery image or whatever you created.

It won't. For a partition to boot, it has to be a primary partition, true at least for windows. You must not mess with recovery partition.

Sujay is totally right, that 20 GB which is occupied by the recovery partition should not be touched at all, you never know when it might come in handy.

Because its showing temp of only GPU, if iGPU had been active, then its temp must be visible (HwMonitor must be updated)

Depends on switchable graphics settings. By default whenever it detects a GPU intensive "app/game".

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Ah so this means like when I am not using any heavy app or a heavy game then just the discrete one works but when I do something heavy then both get switched on. Right?

No, when you work on normal apps, then iGPU works, if heavy apps, then either discrete/both(APU), dependent on you CCC settings.

sam9953 said:

when this Enduro thing comes up, there will be a major change. iGPU will work all the time regardless of what you are doing but fGPU will take the extra load when you do graphics intense work. now like it or not you'll have to use X-Fire. No way out. For now you can turn iGPU off (thats what i think it is) or at least make the iGPU to not participate in games that have -ve impact from crossfire but with Enduro, iGPU will be turned on permanently and only dGPU will have optional use.

My guess is, unless AMD take care of new/old all games, scene will turn really ugly as some games may refuse to run on Xfire and iGPU is too weak to handle. Then keep waiting for (massive 150MB) driver updates.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I couldnt understand much of what you said because I dont have much idea about this Enduro, Crossfire etc stuff. But tell me one thing, from day one my laptop is having all the switchable graphics settings at default, I have not made a single change related to graphics so incase I play a heavy game then will I get the maximum potential from my GPU (intergrated as well as dedicated) or do I need to do something to get the best out of it?

Crossfire = Running two AMD cards parallely. Here, its iGPU and dGPU. Its also called/termed as asymmetric crossfiring (in case of APUs). Now, this graphics switching in laptop is given a name by AMD called "enduro", same as "optimus" by nVidia.

For games to max out in case of APUs, it depends a lot on nature of game. If it utilises crossfiring well, then good, otherwise it even return negative result. Plus, sometimes games are not recognised by CCC, so you need to manually assign them via CCC.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Very well explained there, Sujay. So does this mean that it differs from game to game? I mean is there a chance that with a great GPU like our laptop has, some games might work at highest settings and some games might be as bad as junk?

That's only in the case of ACF, as the drivers are in nascent stage. Let the drivers be more mature, it significantly make switching more effective.

PS: I made some mistakes in previous post, edited them, go through it again.

I use 12.8 version of catalyst.. is there any problem with it??

I have the same problem after clean installing windows. Check this -
*superuser.com/questions/267779/get-black-screen-at-logon-welcome
12.8 catalyst has some issues, as I have mentioned some GPU optimized apps (like vReveal Video Enhancement Software - Fix Dark, Shaky, Noisy, Blurry, Low-Resolution Videos | www.vreveal.com) doesn't works. Also SATA and USB3 controller are not included in the package for that you need the default AMD drivers in your SwSetup folder.
Enduro should fix this, till then avoid 12.8 as gains are insignificant and its not fully trinity optimised.

Please some one tell me weather i will be able to recover my lap using recovery partition and restore original windows??
And how can i do it ???

I'd avoid using recovery partition as it takes an obscene amount of time even with "minimal image restore". Better to get a win7 iso (Windows 7 w/o SP1 and SP1 Media Refresh - Direct Download Links), Backup SwSetup and use the product key at the base of your laptop to activate.

i think due to the great demand of the laptop, they increased the price

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Yeah that's quite certain.

buy locally at 32-33k. and you need cooling pad only when you game using discrete GPU. If you run old games, then there is absolutely no need for any cooling pad or just keep it in desk with the air vents clear then it'll remain comparatively cool.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

that cooling pad is not worth 2.1k as marketed by fk

i think it cost ~1k
& imo, you should use cooling pad only when using laptop for intense work, otherwise it'll just force a lot of dust in.
if using laptop for general work/browsing on bed/table with cooler pad, turn off the cooler pad.

I am sorry but as I have never tried to make those DVD's till now that's I don't know why you are getting disc verify failed, but I do know that you are only allowed to make those recovery discs by using DVD - R, you cannot use any other type, not eve RW or any Dual Layer. Secondly , I actually think its a waste of your time and money on the discs to make those recovery discs, just don't touch the recovery partition and you will be good to go, without any need to make the recovery discs.

If ur lappy comes with home basic installed..u can install any version of windows 7 and activate it permanently without applying any crack...I've done that..activated 7 premium in this lappy and activated it..but I'm not sure if such things are allowed to discuss in this forum..so you might surf the net if interested.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Yea the HP showroom wala also offered the same, he said I could get windows 8 for 699/-. But once i get the lappy I will surely need windows 7 professional for office purposes, as in my office all the lappies should have original windows 7 professional! So i guess will use the anytime upgrade option!

Oh okay thanks for the suggestion. whichever lappy i get I will be using it for 10-12 hrs a day for the next 3yrs i.e for office and gaming purpose! So is it wise to go for Hp g62005ax?

Any other laptop suggestions? For gaming and office purpose for around 35k. Usgae of about 10-12hours(office & gaming) every day for the next 2-3 yrs. Very much interested in hp pavilion g62005ax but still open to other options?

Very much likely. Try reverting to the default drivers and better still a clean install. Mine also used to flicker/blacked out for a while during login. Also sometimes resuming from hibernation didn't work and screen stayed blank until restart.

I am not sure what might be the cause of this problem but if you don't have many programs installed and much data on your hard drive then I suggest you to do a reformat and bring back the laptop to default settings by using the recovery software.

need some advice regarding a problem i m facing. i m trying to make the recovery disc through the HP recovery manager, it burns the first DVD but while disc verification after the writing, the DVD is ejected with an error message " Disc verify failed. Please use another disc and try again ". and i have to repeat the entire process again. have done this 4 times, but no success. was using a blank moserbaer DVD. any suggestions on how to overcome the problem. thanks in advance.

Resolving disc verification failures
If the computer ejects a disc and a disc verification error message displays, the disc burn on that disc was unsuccessful. Do not exit from the system recovery disc process. Instead, insert another disc to complete the disc creation process. If the error occurs again, use a different brand of writable disc.
If the disc creation process fails and you need recovery discs, see Looking for Recovery Discs? .

No options for Home Basic 64-bit though. But there is an option for All-in-One download. Has anyone tried it?

B

Every Windows version has the same ISO with a small file to specify the version

Download any ISO the delete the ei.cfg file in the sources folder or Google "ei.cfg remover" and during installation you'll be given option to select your version (choose Home Basic x64).

wow, this is handy but I am looking forward for buying windows 8, though. So no use of this now.

B

For me Windows 8 is not that exciting and must-have upgrade like Windows 7 was UNLESS you have a one of those touch ultrabooks/tablet hybrid (in which case it'll come preloaded).
The only feature that stands out for "normal" laptop users is the reset feature:
*www.anandtech.com/show/5290/windows-8s-refresh-and-reset-functionality-detailed

Most UI features can be easily achieved using themes or style packs (like this) and other under-the-hood features are once again beneficial mostly for tablet users (metro, app store, gestures etc).

Also the payment method for Windows 8 upgrade has not been disclosed yet. Most probably it'll be through credit card which will rule out people like me from even considering

open a document. It'll show either the name Office 2010/2007 or Trial Mode. Trial mode means 30days trial, else it is a pirated one if you purchased locally as shopkeepers usually end up installing all sort of pirated bloatwares.

i guess you'll have to take the 2 step process. Microsoft Windows Anytime Upgrade Win 7 Home Basic to Win 7 Home Premium @ 2700 + Microsoft Windows Anytime Upgrade Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional @ 4900.

BTW heard that Windows 8 upgrade will be to W8 Proff. Not sure but Rider said so. Ask him.

Have certain rules regarding lappy purchase in my office - they want me to install only windows 7 professional only! So windows 8 is out of question!

And, instead of going for 2 step process u mentioned about windows anytime upgrade, I can also get a separate cd of windows 7 proffessional na? I think it is around 9 k

Hey thanks for the reply.

Actually the place where I work, they want to me to have original windows 7 professional for the next 3yrs! So windows 8 is out of question.

What would you suggest?
Installing windows 7 through the method sam mentioned above? OR
By doing a clean install i.e getting a cd which costs around 9k I guess?

If you dont mind spending extra 2k..then get the Win7Pro CD..advantages..
you'll have a CD..lol
you can dual boot.. 1)Win7basic to Win8 when its released..and 2)Win7Pro for office use..

The key which you have with your laptop is OEM, it cannot be used in any other computer or laptop, you can use it just on this this laptop which you have bought.
No it will not work.
The recovery partiton contains your HP recovery software which helps your computer to attain default or factory settings if something goes wrong with your laptop.

that i am not sure. If you have downloaded W7 HB from torrent but is not preactivated/cracked, it should accept the cd key and you get a genuine OS but it may not work like that. try if you wish.

No problem, but don't "always" use it on A/C. It will ruin the battery. Plus if you're gaming for prolong hours, better remove the battery and then game, temps will also be a bit less.

yup agreed..doesnt feel snappy at all..graphics performance good..but CPU not so much..
I have a core2quad@2.5Ghz 3gb ram desktop..which I feel is much faster than this lappy..
this is prolly coz..the max cpu speed you can select is 1.9Ghz..but reaches 2.8Ghz(turbo) on demand so I guess there must be "Turbo Lag"??

disable dual graphics..enable high performance mode..clock at 1.9Ghz always..hope it helps..i havnt played GTA4 on this lappy..but my pc with 512Mb managed it with medium settings..so i guess this should play it perfectly..
reason for disabling dual graphics is..GTA4 is directx9(i think) and dual graphics works only for directx11 games..

Hey duke,

Really dont know how to thank u...

That was a nice n patient explanation from u.

But can u tell me if its overclockable or not because som ppl were talking that in some high performance mode, it comes to 2.3ghz n all dat?? What is this thing then?

And I agree with ur point that 64 bit is better than 32..but then 32 bit has lessr dependencies right? also, for programming and development, i use 32 bit W7.. so i kinda am stuck on 32 bit..so can u clarify on that point?

Just one more query..Is there an additional RAM slot? So I was thinking I wud get a 4gb RAM also along with this lappy..

hey @closetohell
i viewed your query and i am having same doubts as yours.
acc. to your this reply i think that duke123 has solved your queries,but i cannot see that..can you please show his answer ..
thanks

Can someone map the comparison between Intel HD 4000, Nvidia GT 630M and AMD HD 7670M in terms of gaming performance?

*www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7670M.69483.0.html

In benchmarks 7670m is about 5% faster than 630m. hd4000 is way too slow than both.
But in real usage there won't be a difference and most likely nvidia will feel faster because of better drivers. And if you use Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects mainly) nvidia is actually recommended over AMD because of CUDA.

Okay so this is what you to do. First download the bootable version of partition wizard. Burn it on a cd or dvd and then boot using it. Change your c drive to logical disk and your problem will be solved.

i brought this laptop at 33k..and i am very happy..i am able to play games at mid/low setting..

if you are looking to play all these games at high setting better spend some more bucks and get a descent gaming laptop...

considered it junk...ya if you are expecting performance similar to high end laptops you will consider it as junk...

these are things you won't get from this laptop: battery backup of 8-10hr. hardcore gaming. cooling under extreme load. light weight. extremely fast. HD webcam. waterproof.
if you want laptop with the above kind of features, get ready to sell 2-3 times the price of the HP laptop and yet may miss on multiple points. This laptop is a budget powerhouse.

well, I gave you an unbiased answer as you asked for one. Especially considering "high settings" like you said.

Except Civilization V, GTA IV and L.A.Noire, I expect other games to run fine on medium. The games I mentioned are processor intensive and they need a Quad Core i7 laptop (the one with QM suffix) to run properly.

Its been 2months I'm using this lappy. Experience= 10/10

a) I'm a nooby.
b) Bought this for Rs. 35400 (installment scheme) and got only the bagpag. Brought it to Delhi after 12hrs with nothing loaded/installed.
c) Didnt upgrade any driver, didnt install any new ones.. Dont know what all the fuss is about the dual graphics, I use everything in system as default and it runs NFS RUN smoothly at 1080x 'something' resolution at everything high. Ran Arkham Asylum at the same res like butter, and Black Ops too. MF2, Portal 2, Sniper Ghost Warrior & FIFA 13 at everything high and full. Note: I dont use cooling pad or any kind of stand, just dont continue gaming for more than an hour and start playing when laptop is fully charged cause 'playing + charging' feels more heated.
d) I use the power saver mode generally with HP Coolsense ON (seems fictitious). Watched Green Mile (3hrs movie) + a Dexter episode (40mins), still had over 35% charge left (had headphone on) in train while returning from Delhi. Laptop gets fully charged from 10% in less than an hour if u dont browse meanwhile.
e) 1080p runs smoothly, speakers are great. Hard disks not yet partitioned. Just ran Hot Persuit and PES 13, both at ultra and max. Using the lappy by connecting it to net for the first time and after 2hrs without charging, it still shows 2hr35min (57%) remaining. Although my eyes are aching at this power saver mode for 2hrs now. This might be the very first con from personal use of this 2005ax.
P.S. I might have got 2gb + 1gb graphics instead of 1 + 0.5 (msinfo32, dxdiag shows that although the rating in windows index is same as all of u)

Okay, tell me a few things, I have seen that you are comparing our laptop with some samsung laptop that is selling at 37K on FK. Now firstly if you are in Delhi, like me, then you can buy G6 2005AX for somewhat like 31K to 32K at nehru place, so with a difference of 5K you will get a number of things with our laptop that the samsung one doesn't give.

For your query. If you want to game, then I suggest you to buy a gaming controller. Who uses keyboard or mouse for gaming?? Seriously. Better buy an Xbox controller, its epic. Next 4 GB RAM is more than sufficient. No need to upgrade. I am not sure if you can upgrade the HDD, as far as I know, you cannot do that, but I might be wrong. If you really want some extra space, get an external HDD.

Okay, tell me a few things, I have seen that you are comparing our laptop with some samsung laptop that is selling at 37K on FK. Now firstly if you are in Delhi, like me, then you can buy G6 2005AX for somewhat like 31K to 32K at nehru place, so with a difference of 5K you will get a number of things with our laptop that the samsung one doesn't give.

For your query. If you want to game, then I suggest you to buy a gaming controller. Who uses keyboard or mouse for gaming?? Seriously. Better buy an Xbox controller, its epic. Next 4 GB RAM is more than sufficient. No need to upgrade. I am not sure if you can upgrade the HDD, as far as I know, you cannot do that, but I might be wrong. If you really want some extra space, get an external HDD.

thanx for the reply @sam
actually i am in varanasi(U.P) so here HP-WORLD is quoting it 35500(with mouse,backpack,cleaning kit,mouse,pen-drive etc),
actually i have been playing games on keyboard only and i think not so many games support x-box controller.
btw how much a x-box controller will cost?
and now i have almost finalized 2005ax!..

but still..

man 35500 is very high...The MRP written on my box is 34200...i brought it from HP world and i got the free goodies and third year extended warranty which cost 1033₹ ...

well comparing with Samsung you get genuine windows home basic so you can upgrade to windows 8 for just 700₹...you get USB 3.0 support which samsung dont have and you will need it for future...and 7670M is better than GT 610..also HP is a quite old and better brand compared with samsung who has recently entered the market...so obviously you can expect better support...

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@anky, as stated by duke there are a number of things which our laptop is having, the samsung one doesn't. He has mentioned them all plus the GPU of our laptop is better.

An Xbox controller is nearly 1800 for the wired and nearly 3K for the non wired, plus or minus a few.
I would suggest you to go for this laptop. It is great. If you want keyboard then its your choice, because the laptop key's are very sensitive and you will not enjoy gaming on this, atleast I don't. Better buy a keyboard of your choice if you want to game.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

HP has stopped giving extended warranty and now giving Nikon COOLPIX 16 MP Camera for 2500₹....

keyboard works fine unless you use the arrow keys which are small.

duke123 said:

sadly HP has messed up the extended warranty offer. It was way better than a camera that will take 1-2 months to reach you from the date of getting the laptop. Samsung laptop is fine too and usually it feels premium to HP. Sadly asking price is way more.

better to test the keyboard first then decide. The keys are sensitive and takes getting used to but then it works fine.

My friend I have very well used the keys of the G6 2005AX, so I know what I am saying. And yeah the arrow keys are quite small but the other keys also feel very sensitive.

Infibeam listed price was 33,399. I paid 31,729 (5% off using GREEN2012) and now If I return some old mobile/ camera to them I would get another 5% credit into my infibeam account. Unfortunately I could not opt for free extended warranty offer as the cut off purchase/ invoice date was 11-Oct. Anyways I am very much happy with my laptop and services provided by infibeam.

Unfortunately my invoice date is shown as 12 Oct. I am constantly in touch with Infibeam.com to correct the invoice and use 10-Oct as invoice date which is rightfully my purchase date. If I get corrected invoice then I will surely go for free extended warranty offer

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hi everyone..!
today i got my 2005ax booked!!..i will be getting it on 18th..!!..total price is 33500\- ! from HP-WORLD with 1 year free extended warranty offer, HP mouse and HP backpack(if you are buying from HP-WORLD, u can still get this offer for 3-4 days more).
now i want to ask two questions?
1. should i upgrade its RAM by 4 GB more(making total RAM 8GB, considering future softwares and games)?
2. which type of cooling pad should i purchase?(local or branded).

soon i will be joining the owner list too.!!

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ congrats. how you got the free warranty? isn't the offer expired?

1. try using full 4GB. if you feel the lappy is bottlenecked, add 4GB more.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

yeah the offer has expired but in HP-WORLD the shopkeeper was saying that only they(HP-WORLD) can give you this offer, and that too for only 2-3 days more.
actually they are registering the lappy in backdate..!(or whatever...) but yess..!! i am still getting this offer..!
earlier i was planning to buy this in diwali..but that camera offer sucks..!!..so decided to buy this as ASAP..!
and luckily got one...!(with warranty offer)
and @sam, can u tell me about cooling pads..?..which one should i buy?..

a friend of mine bought a HP laptop with 2nd gen i3/2 GB ati 7 seires/8 GB RAM (37000 rs)
hope my 2005 ax will perform better..!

What laptop did your friend buy? It seems as if you are either overrating the price or the features, because for 37K the features sound too good to me.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ most likely this one ---> HP Pavilion G6-2136TX (2nd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB/ 2GB Graph). Or 2017TX.

@anky, no idea about cooling pads.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

yeah that one G6-2136TX..!!
@sam - which one is better..??..

i think A8 is better than i3 2nd gen !

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

both are same. i3 takes lead in some single threaded apps, A8 takes lead in some DX11 games. Paying 37k for that laptop is not a good idea. One can get Asus K53SM by paying 2k more.

It'd have said to create an extended partition which allows further 64 logical partitions, and this occurs after max no of primary partitions are used up (4).

Ok, and what exactly do you want to do? Plus which partitions have OS installed?

Okay attention to one and all members of this thread, this is not for the experienced users but for the new and beginners who are now trying to make partitions of their C drive.

Go to this link: Partition / Extended : Logical Drives - Windows 7 Forums

Follow method two described in this post.

It should solve your problem of making partitions of C drive and also converting primary drive to logical drive.

Just for a sample this is how my drive looks like after following the above tutorial.

ok, why cant i use non-bootable one? i dont have blank cd right now so i cant use the bootable version. any suggestion

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Okay no trouble about the blank CD. Use a pen drive. Make a bootable pen drive, you can Universal USB Installer for that. There are a few other softwares for doing that as well. I am suggesting you to use the bootable one because it has a greater chance of making this method successful than the non-bootable one. Incase you are not able to work with the bootable try using the non-bootable one, just as a backup. Go for the bootable one first.

I am not able to play fifa 13, any ideas what could be the cause?

I can play FIFA13 smoothly in high res. maybe u don't have the correct setup

the software comes from HP. You can check version number there. It should be 12.4. 12.6 was announced by AMD and HP mayn't added it to their download list. BTW remember it is AMD Catalyst Mobility driver and not Catalyst Driver. Install Catalyst driver and your laptop will no longer boot.

have you tried both GPU: discrete & dual/IGP? BTW what happens when you try to run FIFA13?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^ I have not fiddled with the GPU settings.

When I click on fifa 13, it freezes at the point just after the logo is displayed. Any guesses how to resolve this?

our lappy is more than capable of handling FIFA 13..anky is already playing at high settings..so i meant it might due to some software issues..if you check some forums,torrent sites etc there are people who have faced same problem as yours...

Yeah i searched the web for almost a day about this problem but could not get any solution.

AMD has released some latest drivers AMD Catalyst Software Suite Version 12.10 ..This Catalyst version supports notebooks with switchable graphics and Enduro technology .. :cry:

...They have mentioned so many improvements over the previous versions in the release notes page...

if any one is planning to update they can update ..i have installed without problems but didnot see any performance jump since 7600M series doesnt have enduro support..

but this laptop can easily run fifa13..in fact i am playing at high settings and it runs smooth..

hello frnds..
i am facing a new type of problem now..
after i upgraded to windows 7 home premium
i created a new simple volume using windows disk management using -
1. shrinking C drive (shrink amount -120 GB)
2. a new unallocated space of 120 GB appeared
3 right clicking create new simple voulme

it created new simple volume but now all the partitions have become simple volume! and all the volumes have become dynamic volumes.!
the color in disk management is yellow for all the partitions!
is that a problem?
how to make C and all drives like before (c primary or logical or whatever it was)
in windows rating my rating is 5.5 (lowest is of disk transfer rate)..is it low bcoz of all the drives have become simple volume now?

Is your C drive has also become dynamic ? Cross check it. For the rest of the partitions, its not a problem, not even for your low WEI.

PS: WEI is crap, forget it.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@anky,to be honest you setup is now messed up.this is a common mistake & microsoft should really issue a warning about whole disk changing to dynamic after shrinking C drive using windows disk management.you should know now that windows 7 setup does not read dynamic volumes so now you can not use windows 7 dvd/usb to do anything(install,repair etc).if some problem came up then your only option is to format using a XP professional CD or tools like gparted.however all is not lost.
Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk - Windows 7 Forums
see option 4 "Convert Dynamic to Basic Disk using Free "EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition".i recommend doing this immediately after saving your critical files on some external hdd/other pc though it should do the job without any issues but just in case be ready.

laptop will boot fine btw.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^A little correction, win 7 setup can handle it, but not directly from setup, but by entering console.

anky said:

Yes it won't boot for sure till its dynamic.

One thing I must say, this laptop is a massive hit. So many people in my college have this laptop and they purchased it without asking anything to me.

As I said, until its dynamic, it won't boot for sure. Follow the tutorial link given by whitestar to convert it back to basic disk.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

@dashing.sujay,you are correct about accessing dynamic partition using console but i am certain that windows 7 will load normally even if disk is dynamic(experienced it myself with dell laptop).also see here a guide to install windows 7 on simple dynamic volume(so obviously it will load

)

Nah, system restore restores settings of windows environment, not disk/hardware related issues. Try the Easeus way, its just some clicks away, what's the big deal ?

sam9953 the latest one is 12.10..there is no harm in upgrading as it gives improvement in performance if you have not updated till now..
as example WEI is improved...you get 6.7 on both crosfire and high performance..

what i meant was windows WEI improved(graphics and aero) from factory drivers,it was earlier showing different rating when experience index test ran for crossfire enabled and disabled..but now same for both..
as far as gaming is concerned i really dont know because i tried all games after updating...i believe its improved...but ya the original driver is too old...

Use HDTach. But there won't be much performance difference between 5400rpm drives across manufacturers. SSD is the real deal! I just hope thanks to this laptop's popularity someone will create a optical to hard drive caddy so we can replace the DVD drive with a SSD - dual hard drive setup

BTW the new 12.10 update only brings UI changes. The performance updates are only for top cards like 7970m. Anandtech promises better drivers by the year end so don't update yet.

Most chances are its company name would be there in the name itself in device manager. If not, check hardware ID, it will have the info for sure.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I usually get speeds between 5 to 15 mbps when transferring data from one partition to another. Mine is a Toshiba as well.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^It should be at least 25MBps (single big file)

Depends on the benchmark. Run HD Tune as others did.

I am now happy to know that

Just one question though since I am new to this.. while benchmarking it was giving the option to test Read or Write. The one I posted are the read results. We are supposed to check read speed right?

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^Both are fine and have their own implications.

Any way to increase the speed?

Don't fill it up to the brim and regularly defragment. Actually, whatever you follow these are somethings limited by hardware. You can just "maintain" natural speed, not increase.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hi guys,

I am planning to buy a laptop soon and have shortlisted few models like HP G6 2005ax, Lenovo G580 (i5 3rd gen), Samsung NP300E5X-S01IN

Use:
Home use - browsing, office applications, movies, light to medium games

Budget:
32-38K

I am looking for a model with good battery back-up, lighter in weight, with features like 4 GB RAM, USB 3.0, graphics card, etc.

Please suggest if HP G6 2005ax will be a good option, or whether I should consider other models. Among my concerns for this model which I have heard abt are - overheating issues, display problem (when I enquired at Ezone, I was told there have been some display problems with this model, it might be discontinued by company...hence they dont have stock!! How true is that?) and battery life (2.5-3 hrs)..

Can someone help me get the right picture and advice me which one I shd go for...thanks!

as far as display is concerned, i am using this model only and display is very good...no issues..and heating is only when u play game for some hours..only problem is the hard disk..it is slow as compared to others..but it still ever thing has its own cons and pros..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

i guess the vary brightness option was turned on and as most people won't google (or too lazy to search) starts shouting instead of finding a fix.

HP is one of the largest laptop manufacturer and they source HDD, ram & display from almost all manufacturers so one may end up with Toshiba HDD, samsung ram & LG display whereas someone else with same laptop may have samsung hdd, hynix ram & toshiba display.

Yes you can buy another one and replace it with current HDD. Its very easy, just open the screws , slide and replace. But what will you do with your old HDD ?

Didnt install any bluetooth drivers seperately. Default Windows 8 bluetooth drivers are working fine. Even the display driver problem that I had above was by chance. I am sure its not gonna happen to all who upgrade.

i'll suggest either wait for 1TB drives or for Hybrid HDD (HDD + SSD cache) to get affordable. That way you are upgrading the size and get speed too.

i was going to recommend the same thing. A USB casing will cost 400-600 and can turn the internal HDD into a external one instead of finding a buyer.

Get Seagate momentus XT, costly but worth it (for single HDD solution). This is actually a hybrid HDD (HDD+SSD) which Sam was saying of, thus the better performance.

Seagate 2nd Generation Momentus XT (750GB) Hybrid HDD Review. But the price is still really high and as Apple has made the next move by offering 128GB of cache (massive amount compared to 4/8GB in Seagate) in their already iMac so WD & Seagate should upgrade their Hybrid HDD by offering 2-3 times the cache at the same time over the next year thanks to falling price of NAND. so by next year with 5mm HDD becoming the norm, 7mm HDD with a single 1TB platter and 16GB NAND for 7-8k will be a nice deal.

HP Pavilion G6-2010AX (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph)

still packed with A8 but more ram & HDD. May turn out to be a real bargain.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

yup. 4GB is sufficient. 1TB is the welcome change, provided it is NOT from Toshiba. Lastly, no Windows

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hello everyone .. I'm an owner of HP G6 2005AX .. Request to the moderator ==> please add me to the list of owners.
Bought it locally from a store @ 33280 with backpack and a few goodies (+1 year additional warranty from the store along with the 2 year free warranty from HP).So I guess it was a decent deal.

I have been using this laptop for almost a month now .. Now I have a few views and opinions about this machine ..
To all potential buyers who are willing to buy a laptop having this A8-4500 processor I would say this .. don't have too high expectations .. because this isn't a top-notch performer as far as processing power goes .. Let me give you an example .. I was watching a music video(720p) on wmp and there was a browser and skype opened in background . I decided to open itunes(x64) while this was happening .. now suddenly the audio got stuttered and it was clearly identified whether on earphones or on speakers .. This kind of glitches is unexpected from a quad core processor .. so clearly the individual cores are not powerful enough to handle multitasking ... If you are running a single processor hogging task then it performs good enough but just.

Then to all users who are claiming that 4GB ram is sufficient , I would say it's not because I have been playing GTA 4 and it always consumes around 90% ram after playing for 30mins .. and one time it got real slow .. then I checked that the ram usage was up to 94.5% on gadget. So if you're a gamer then be safe add another 4GB. Now comes the trouble, Hp gives you a ram which is of a frequency of 1600MHz almost twice as expensive as a 1333 one. Must be frustrating because it barely adds upto the performance .. If you're using the laptop for normal tasks then 4GB is enough .. ram usage remains under 60% even opening 5-6 background apps and of course the crapware that comes installed with the machine ..

HP coolsense -- no idea how it works .. probably it does have a influence in cooling the laptop .. I'm not sure .. but yes the laptop remains cool under normal usage .. heats up real bad when playing, I have a cheap cooling pad but it's to little effect.. Only played GTA 4 on this .. using 12.8 catalyst mobility drivers .. never had any problem .. everything is high .. did some benchmarking .. I've uploaded the results here .

View attachment Benchmark1 GTA 4.txt
View attachment Benchmark2 GTA 4.txt

both benchmarkings are done with dual gpu disabled on high performance mode .. so it's basically using AMD 7670HD as far as my knowledge goes. the difference in fps is due to disabling night shadows and low anisotropic settings .. pretty smooth .. update to performance patch 1.4.

I have Hitachi HDD .. I don't know what's all this fuss about the hard disk specifications and performance but mine runs pretty okay .. Nothing to complain about.

Battery back up .. Hmm a tough one .. Well there will always be different views regarding this one .. because the battery laptops generally ships with although the same specs but some might have better backup owing to a lot of factors of temp and days after first use etc .. One time I had a power cut so I tested it with everything turned to low and in power saving mode .. got about 4 hours watching tv series on wmp. half the time I had wireless internet on. So one can probably max out to 5 hours doing absolutely nothing just reading an ebook on my machine..

Below are the benchmarks I did with passmark 8.0 software .. Best results I have posted here ..

To conclude .. all in all a good buy but the processor is a bit of a letdown .. expected a bit better .. people who are comparing it to core i5 2nd gen are probably servants of AMD :mrgreen:

it is core i3 3rd gen at best .. the clockspeed is a big letdown .. it would have been much more effective had it came with a 2.4GHz base speed The A8 also lacks the L3 cache which was unexpected from the new trinity series .. isn't gaming laptops supposed to be made to suck more power .. AMD designed this APU which will perform during gaming with turbo but well lacks the x-factor during normal tasks .. it does lag at times .. although it would perform better had it came with no OS because a lot of apps just stay in the ram during startup and never gets used ... but you can always disable them but yea ..

Sorry if I went harsh .. I think I put forward my honest opinion about the product and it will help a lot of users who are looking for details and info so they can get the closest laptop as per their requirements.. I think I also mentioned the good points about the laptop .. the battery backup is indeed decent provided it has a discrete gpu and AMD has done well to switch between the igpu and dgpu for power intensive and power saving modes to help users get the best results during stress situations for more usage ... Also I never heard anyone on this forum mention about the awesome audio capabilities of dolby advanced audio settings(found in the control panel under hardware & sound) .. The bluetooth 4.0 is also an awesome feature ... earlier I had a compaq laptop with bluetooth 2 and it hardly could recognize half the services my phones supported ... Now it has support for all .. I love the looks of the laptop as well .. maybe cheap plastic .. but good glossy finish .. then the touchpad gestures are cool too ... set your screen temp to around 7k and I think it's decent for all those complaining about the bad screen colour .. So there are lots of things which I like about this laptop...

One would have to wait to see what AMD brings next .. A10 laptops are still unavailable .. A8 going strong .. new Hp models are on the rise now .. with added ram and hdd .. but one would have to say that we are the lucky ones to be able to redeem the additional warranty .. much better than the camera offer now...disappointing asus didnt bring one out .. would have costed some 3-4k lesser ..

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

what you said is true. Sometimes the laptop lags, maybe due to the ton of crapware HP shipped with it or maybe cause of the slow I/O performance. Processing power falls between 2nd gen i3 & i5 most of the time which i guess is fine. Another disappointment is the battery life. Was expecting 6-7hrs under low load.

Added driver links to first page. If i missed anything, post here. will add it as well. Also extending the G6 family to include the two newly launched Trinity models by HP.

Sam it seems you're quite an optimist .. expecting 6-7 hours battery back up from a 6 cell battery running a 15.6" screen laptop with discrete graphics card is still a dream .. well then allow me to make your dream come true :mrgreen:

check out the cpu usage as well .. you might think I'm joking .. but am I? :razz:

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^ i know that trick but once you start working the battery life drops to 5-5.5hrs. Decent but under idle was expecting more as laptop powered by Intel proccy of standard 35W TDP shows 7hr+ in battery eater, with discrete GPU. Real life battery backup should be same as this one though.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

sam the driver link in the first page is it same for both desktop and notebook. beacause when i downloaded 12.8 there was two different links given in gur3d site for both desktop and notebook. please confirm is the link for notebook or not.

and is there any performance differnce in this version in dual graphics mode....

i played sleeping dogs and while enabling dual graphics the inbuilt benchmark resulted in average 27fps for the same setting in dgpu i got 31fps driver version 12.8

you can try swapping the ODD (DVD drive) with an SSD.

not much. better wait for 12.11 which should increase Xfire performance.

Is it possible?

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

SSD cost a bomb, you already know that. Definitely possible but won't do much good other than cutting windows bootup time by half.

Yup i know that it costs bomb but it was a random query...

I have seen ssd prices drop so in future may be i can upgrade.

1 more thing wil this upgrade hav visible diff in battery life??

I'm not sure about ubuntu .. but I think it should work fine on windows 8 .. HP has provided you with the setups of every driver and software that the laptop ships with .. The only thing which bothers me now .. should I upgrade to windows 8 keeping all windows settings or should I just get it done as a fresh installation .. And another query .. what happens to the recovery partition after upgrade?? would it recover back to windows 7 home basic? that would be a real bummer .. if not then what about the recovery disks? all these confusions are creeping up .. If we can compare the recovery partition to the ROM of an android device then for every update for the device firmware changes the default ROM to the latest --- should that not happen for the recovery partition as well to keep the upgrade consistent on behalf of the manufacturers? Otherwise this whole experience would turn blunt and many like me would simply wish to get upgrade to the higher windows 7 versions than be at a loss upgrading to windows 8...Do share experiences...

Yes the backup will go back to Win 7 better if burn the iso of downloaded win8..
Keeping apps & docs keeps all as it is. ;-)

To conclude .. all in all a good buy but the processor is a bit of a letdown .. expected a bit better .. people who are comparing it to core i5 2nd gen are probably servants of AMD it is core i3 3rd gen at best ..

I dunno why you posted a synthetic benchmark. (Passmark)

My roommate has this laptop and I have i5-2410M. In 7-zip multithreaded, this laptop is in 10% of my score and in Hashcat, it actually wins against my laptop by a bit.

Single thread performance is comparatively less, but that's obvious seeing the clock speed.

It's just what the passmark states in the cpu test .. I'm not judging the performance solely on the basis of the tests but also by the experiences I gathered all this while ..

And I apologize again if I come across as a critic spotting every single drawback on this awesome gaming laptop which probably fits the budget of most laptop buyers ..

One has to believe without the mid range graphics card which performs really well this would have been just another AMD laptop ..

i agree with your points...the laptop lags and hangs sometimes for no reason...the lag was clearly noticeable when i installed any highly compressed game software etc was being installed...system become unusable for any other purpose..
now i have installed a clean version of windows 8(not upgrade) without any crap ware for a day..just a few essential software and drivers i have seen the smoothness improved.(at least visible when installing a highly CPU intensive repack game..i have core temp around 40k on normal usage against 50-60k with windows 7 with all crap wares including HP cool sense..so a fresh install might help...
i dont know whether cool sense will help or not i didnt see a windows 8 version online...

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hi. i just bought HP G6-2201 AX wiith WIN 8.
I have few doubts regarding the Dual Graphic settings
P.S. I will only be using this lappy for watching HD movies and videos... and i want them to play without a lag
Q.1 Is it required for me to enable dual graphics?
Q.2 My battery only lasts 3 hrs max. How to maximize it??
Q.3 IN the AMD Catalyst, there is a tab for video which further contains many setting options. how to customize them for getting max. output video quality?

1. not required.
2. turn off dual/discrete GPU & limit the laptop's processor to 1.9Ghz when using battery. videos will continue to play smoothly. additionally turn of WiFi/Bluetooth. And decrease brightness to 30-50%.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

i did a clean install of win 8 few days back. but now this thing runs at around 45 C during normal browsing with fan running very loud. and it even goes to around 55C sometimes.
*i.imgur.com/VmPKs.png?1

also i by mistake removed hp tools partition. anyway to restore it back?

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^^45C is normal..mine is also running at this temperature(40-45) but with windows 7 it was running around 50-60 ...
the recovery partition gets disabled the moment when you partition the hard disk..you will lose ability to restore from recovery partition...so there is not much use with that if you partitioned the hard disk..

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

^ok fine but fan is also very loud.
i am not talking of recovery partition but of hp_tools which appears as inaccessible Q drive in win 7.

b)if the laptop sleeps whn i leave it idle for some time, the screen light gets totally dim and despite using brightness up down, nothing works out.it only works whn i shutdown system.

2.if you already created your recovery disc then its not matter much to have the partition of hp tools
3.you can partition your hard drive as much as you can ...you can get recover windows threw recovery drive ...the only point your hard drive should be basic not dynamic if it converted in to dynamic change it to basic using third party partition tools

remove 12.10. use drivesweeper to get rid of the old drivers and then try installing 12.10 again or if you have the original drivers that HP provided, try those also. i feel that the old settings were somehow preserved and reapplied in 12.10.

i understood why i wasn't able to create hp_tools as basic disk allowed max 3 primary partitions and my games drive was also primary.
so system, windows and games made 3 primary partitions.

that recovery disks were created in win 7 so will they work with win 8?

if you use recovery disc in windows 8 it will install your previous operating system w7 hb; recovery disc contains driver and software that windows 7 support so few software of hp will not supported right now on windows 8.

you can upgrade buy the license and keep the product key...you can do a clean install of windows 8 with both windows 7 and 8 running..or you can restore windows 7 from recovery.even if windows 8 becomes un bootable you can use windows 7..i faced serious problem because i totally removed windows 7 and recovery..so now i have to download windows 7 setup again and install windows 7...

i think you can run windows 8 without problem if you disable updates..its update thats causing the trouble..

dont think it will take long as people who brought HP laptops with windows 8 are also suffering so some fix will come soon within days thats sure...

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Viewing angle of the screen is very dis-satisfactory..when i m right in front of the screen i get very clear view but if i m seeing it from left, right, up or down i m getting color, saturation, contrast and brightness to vary, even within the intended viewing angle, by variations in posture.. :cry:

2. Whenever i run any dvd, strange sound comes out of it as if something is hindering while rotation of dvd drive..

can any body help me out??

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hey frnds,

I got this laptop yesterday for 35.7 K including original HP backpack, 3 years accidental warranty and 12 essential accessories

Just completed repartition and recovery using HP recovery manager.

My frnd bought 2016TX lappy for 44K with same goodies n offers. I have no interest to buy a laptop as I already have a high end desktop at home and HP elitebook 8440p (my office laptop). But after reading reviews here and there, 2005ax seems to be a better one compared to others under 35K. I suggested this laptop to my frnd but he was doubtful on AMD processor, so he decided to buy 2016TX ( 3rd i5, 1GB graphic, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD).

Then I decided to buy 2005AX as I'm looking for organisation change(may be also relocation), so I can carry this lappy to wherever I go.

My usage is 30% browsing,30% office work, 20% movies and 20% games (fifa 12, gta, virtual tennis, nfs, raw).

Thanks,
Srinath

hp recovery manager have an option for system recovery when you go inside that i will turn the system in restore mode and ask for you partial system recovery or full system recovery and if you choose full system recovery it will return your system to exactly same as new buy condition.

Just use Windows 7. If you want XP, then virtualize it using a software like VirtualBox.

Windows XP is 11 years old now. Imagine using Windows 3.11 in the year 2002.

you can't. easiest way to find what HDD is being used is to check in device manager. but as 2010AX doesn't come without any OS, you'll either have to install an OS (live cd may work) or open the back panel and check. Shopkeeper will never let you open a brand new laptop unless you buy it.

So basically the PnP and volume control drivers/modules are failing. This binds directly to the symptom you gave of the crash happening when you try a copy/paste from external media. Triage the following, in chronological order:

1. Reset the CMOS from the BIOS.
2. Boot into Safe mode once, and try copy/paste.
3. Reinstall all the drivers, just over lay.

Do all "one-at-a-time"; i.e. do one step and try to copy/paste and check for persistence. Also run HD Tune Pro on your drives; do the deep error scan and let us know.

yes. even the 2201 has dual graphics but can only crossfire upto 1gb rather than 1.5gb like 2005and2010.

see compare link below.

Does this also have the Dual Graphics cards?

if a laptop ships with 2nd gen A-series processor (4XXX) and a 7-series GPU (max 7670M), it can be crossfired.
here is the list:
(A8 low voltage) Radeon HD 7500G + HD 7550M Dual Graphics
(A6) Radeon HD 7520G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics
(A8) Radeon HD 7640G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics
(A10) Radeon HD 7660G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics

there are more combo but these 4 are common. it doesn't matter if flipkart states this or not but X-fire is possible in the above 4 case for sure.

EDIT: Found something. Recommended graphics cards for AMD dual-graphics. A4 doesn't support dual graphics in case of Trinity.

mohsin20 said:

1.5GB (1GB from discrete GPU, 512MB from integrated) but this hardly matters. even 500MB is sufficient for trinity. all one need is bandwidth. Radeon 7640G will perform at hardly 50% capacity when used with 1066Mhz ram than when used with 1600Mhz. Use 1800Mhz and performance will go even more high but 1800Mhz ram kit will cost a bomb. So all one need is fast ram and not a ton of ram.

Thanks for your reply Mohsin20, but I beg to differ. The specs in Flipkart are WRONG (maybe because the 2201 is a recent model and they dont have detailed info)
It has integrated 7640G so it will use 512 MB of RAM for graphics by default + It has dedicated 7670M (1GB)
The official HP links clearly prove it:
2201 AX: HP Pavilion g6-2201ax Notebook PC Product Specifications | HP® Support
2005 AX: HP Pavilion g6-2005ax Notebook PC Product Specifications | HP® Support

The graphics are listed as 1 GB Dedicated for both, so the 512 MB internal is implied

So the 2201 AX is 1.5GB dual graphics enabled by default right?
If not then how to enable it?

patch the game to 4th or 5th version
dont remember actually which one was the best
So first apply 4th one. If you are happy with the performance, then play on. If not, then apply 5th patch.

it has to be on. what will HP get by turning off dual GPU when most are getting this laptop for the dual GPU thing. and as there is no bridge chip or anything of that kind, everything has to be on default. So even if the laptops doesn't say anything about turbo, turbo will be there same as dual GPU.

Yes it's correct. Though the extra 2 GB RAM wont make much difference, you should go for it if your storage space needs are more. Else, if you can, go for the 2201AX which is same as 2005AX + Windows 8. Costs 34K

I am planning to buy 2010ax too, but I am also worried about the genuinety of this product, After spending a lot of time on hp's official website, I still could not find the model in their site! Then how is it that flipkart has this model available with them. I posted this on flipkart too and they deleted my review! :-(

Kuch to gadbad hai !

The product is not available to dealers, today i asked few of them...they have 2005 AX and 2201AX......
but this does not means that the model is fake....its 100 % pure and genuine model ...but right now only available to flipkart...for what i can assume...flipkart self made this model adding up more HDD and more RAM under HP authorization so its still under HP warranty and 100 % genuine. Moreover FLipkart is a very renowned shopping site......but i can be wrong .

Now go and buy that as the discount is decreasing day by day....already its 400 from 1000 cash back...
I was lucky enough to get 1000. :mrgreen:

The model is quiet a VFM so buy it fast as you will soon see "out of stock" or price increase. :-o

Good luck

It hurts

considering that i wasted 2 K here in Bhopal as the dealers can't make that available for me and claiming that this model do not exists...
but whatever it was the only option left for me......
What do you think ...should i cancel that order and go for some other VFM model.....?

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Hi guys,

I dunno whether to choose HP 2005AX or HP 2207TX.

HP 2207TX comes with 2nd gen core i3-2370M + AMD HD 7670M(1GB) (33.5)

HP 2010AX comes with AMD A8-4500M + Dual graphics ( 7640 + 7670M) (34.5 k)

The Intel processor is much better than the AMD processor Mobile Processors - Benchmarklist - Notebookcheck.net Tech

Do not know if the Intel + AMD combo is good ? Please help me out.

Both CPUs are more or less of same scale, AMD being a good combo as dual graphics is supposed to edge out 7670M easily as drivers improve (and they've).

I strongly advice you to think again as its not a VFM anymore and go with it only if you need camera, as there is a strong possibility of giving a 2 year extended warranty in the time to come.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I got my HP G6 2500 AX yesterday at 35,500 from Chroma, with 2 years extended warranty at 2,500.
Windows 7 version. [1500 extra for win 8. Windows 8 is too buggy.]

I stayed away from online shopping for extended warranty. Totally worth it. Friend got almost 15000 rs of benefit. Replaced HDD 2 times, Servicing, Display issues, Changed the display belt.

From Chroma, much higher price than June/July, but had to buy it.

My Previous Compaq CQ40-144TU intel core2deo had sever hard drive probs after 6 years.
Would work very fine if changed the harddrive.
Battery died in two years.
I ran it 24*7. Gave it just 12 hours rest for a week. Pretty tough laptop. Intel lasts longer.
I used it very carefully though. Loved my laptop. Cared like a baby.

Not gonna sell our first laptop though.
Packed it in new laptop's box safely and put it safely in shelf. Nostalgia.
HP family. Same charger/battery.
Very good quality charger. Happy, Good stuff.

(I dont think AMD is gonna last 6 years+ as Intel one. but- )
AMD HAS heating probs, but if you keep it clean, use cooling pad, not overclock it, if not expert, it will last longer.
(Confused.)

Intel is more reliable, but price is higher than AMD. Middle class geek here.

My amd runs at around 55C without cooling pad. (Winter here, 25C to 32C)

AMD Rocks. Tech savvy people should buy AMD. Others should go for Intel, its worth the money.

In my new HP,no num lock indicator

Uncle's Samsung has no caps lock indiacator. Stay away from Samsung. Bad design. Go for HP/Lenovo/Asus.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

55C while gaming or idle?

Yes, its 96-97C. I thought Speccy and CPU HW Monitor showed same temp. :O.

I think this temp is normal. AMD and HP have solved heating prob.

I thought AMD has some peculiar problem of heating up more while playing games. I saw figures of 96-97C being mentioned in this thread .

My Dell Core i3 350M(1st gen) with 3GB RAM , no discrete graphics, heats upto 82C while playing F1 2012 on ultra low (on AC power)

.

Thus cooling pad is the solution, whether it is Intel or AMD ?

That 92-97 lol was a software mistake.......... :-D

...and that was raised by me as you can see...just see the other figures above or below that comment..

This machine ( 2010 AX ) is at freaking cool temp under full load as compared with the figures you get with your i3 :wink:

....Considering a gr8 GPU which comes with it.
further adding cooling pad will do magic
Old AMD days are gone

AMD rocks

Sandeep Roy said:

b) Games always when charging.. why?

Gaming on battery is not bad particularly.... but it will just heats up the battery cause of high discharge rate which will ultimately going to effect the battery life.....else no prob....

If you are on lappy and playing intensive games then a cooling pad is a must must for you....

For me...i will go for some cheaper option like Cooler Master NotePal L1 as i'm not much into games....I will prefer desktop though
for those who game a lot should go for a more better option and kinda expensive ones.

even ultrabooks suffer from abnormal heating. processors are becoming faster but cooling is still the same. and if one tries to add better ventilation it directly impacts the thickness of the laptop or weight.

Let us just talk here so others can benefit to.

Anyways, I looked at the dump files..see below:

So basically the PnP and volume control drivers/modules are failing. This binds directly to the symptom you gave of the crash happening when you try a copy/paste from external media. Triage the following, in chronological order:

1. Reset the CMOS from the BIOS.
2. Boot into Safe mode once, and try copy/paste.
3. Reinstall all the drivers, just over lay.

Do all "one-at-a-time"; i.e. do one step and try to copy/paste and check for persistence. Also run HD Tune Pro on your drives; do the deep error scan and let us know.

sorry for being late first of all.. due to diwali.. HAPPY BELATED DIWALI ev1..
now 2 d issue.. i reset d CMOS as u said.. nd did evrything acc 2 instructions.. but still, system crashed nd the error icon in devices and printers page remained intact..
then as a last measure, i restored factory settings as suggested by sam.. error icon vanished nd i heaved a sigh of relief.. BUT THEN.. very first i installed nokia PC suite to connect to internet via bluetooth to update windows nd drivers.. nd while updates were being downloaded, system crashed again..

and this time i hadn't connected any USB device and wasn't copying anything.. though that was the only time it crashed and is working fine, since 2 days, while copying files from external HDD.. please go through the attachment which includes that very first crash dump and HD tune pro screenshots.. BSOD.rar tests are showing some warning signs on calibraton retry count, (i dunno wot tht means).. also i'm getting errors on windows update installation.. please tell me if its a hardware problem cuz i will hav to replace it from infibeam asap..
my very first laptop.. SCREWED..

then as a last measure, i restored factory settings as suggested by sam.. error icon vanished nd i heaved a sigh of relief.. BUT THEN.. very first i installed nokia PC suite to connect to internet via bluetooth to update windows nd drivers.. nd while updates were being downloaded, system crashed again..
and this time i hadn't connected any USB device and wasn't copying anything.. though that was the only time it crashed and is working fine, since 2 days, while copying files from external HDD.. please go through the attachment which includes that very first crash dump and HD tune pro screenshots.. BSOD.rar tests are showing some warning signs on calibraton retry count, (i dunno wot tht means).. also i'm getting errors on windows update installation.. please tell me if its a hardware problem cuz i will hav to replace it from infibeam asap..
my very first laptop.. SCREWED.. (

There are lot of problem you are facing out there with your lappy.......I suggest you to go for HP onsite warranty guy, they are very supportive and will come within 2-3 days at your home...and if you feel that the whole unit is messed up...replace it from infibeam.......take your steps fast as infibeam only support 30 days return, and generally 2 times slower than flipkart. :razz:

Good luck brother

Sir, why don't you try Prime95 for stressing, and show us the result, and verify whether your 2430 can fry egg or not ;-)

True that.

I adviced my Sony Vaio owning freind to never use battery for entertainment purpose, its been 2.5 years now, and battery still runs for about 2-2.5 hours.

I got this cooling pad for me.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Again in a trouble forum....
OK ....AFAIK 2005AX and 2010AX are exactly same machines ...the only difference between them is of RAM and HDD space....but i recently noticed something strange
I just saw the review of aksbol and goblin and noticed that the performance as well as the hardware config snaps is a little different from mine........
Apart from having a little performance degradation in Benchmarks and a little change of snaps on same config and settings
This is the main thing which is driving me crazy

Take a look at the CPU-Z snap of me and aksbol :chinscratch:

this--->

As you can see the, the difference is obvious and rather difficult for me to even interpret but the Bus speed of both lappys quiet noticiable.....Mine being just a half of him....
During the snap My machine was on full performance AC mode and was under stress testing with all setting inclined toward performance.
This is just one issue

Further-----> I’m also suffering from a little but considerable loss in Graphics Benchmarks as my both GPU's are not working at there full juice as well as frequent disconnections/re connection problem with USB 3.0 port connected with my external HDD and that is really frustrating .
The HDD works perfectly fine with the desktop.

HP technician suggested me to leave Win 7 ultimate which i have and go for fresh install of windows 7 home basic as well as update the windows and drivers.

point to be noted is I already have latest HP drivers downloaded via official link and win 7 ultimate :muttering:

Strange to hear that OS changing recommendation…but I will still do it.

and i'm 100 % sure ..the performance issue is something driver related. :Fingerx:

But this BUS Speed is a real Trouble for me.

Plz enlighten me ....

Reduce battery charging cycles, by once a week.

Heat and dust are enemies of computers. Clean or get your laptop cleaned time to time.
Get a sleeve bag.
*www.ebay.in/itm/400298589451?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Get screen guards for both screen and the top surface.

To improve harddrive's life, download stuff in mobile/tablet.
Android has bittorrent clients.

Dont let the lid tilt/shake too much. Dont put it on your lap, because as you type, lid shakes. Plus heat is not good for your prostate too. Neither the tight undies. If u a boy.

There are many things, so ultimate advice: Keep googling.

use APU graphics and low performance (from AMD CCC).

hiteshlastm said:

clockspeed matters, not bus speed. usually bus speed remains constant and the multiplier is increases/decreased forcing the clockspeed high or low. You don't need to worry about any of these things

bus speed is usually altered when overclocking to attain stability under high clockspeed. Don't know why the bus speed decreased in your case. But as clockspeed is same, doesn't make any difference.

check for USB 3.0 driver update. won't recommend you to do this, but if you want to, download the updated driver package from AMD site (if any as it is part of the A70M southbridge) and test again.

i tried with many installation media.
note: I'm using USB installation only and it is perfectly installing on other system.
also I can install win7 32bit but not 64bit.strange

whatever the performance is great now....

Depend on your requirement.....2010 comes with more HDD and RAM..but also remember 4 GB is more than sufficient for most of the people....rest of the config is same...
I would suggest you to wait for a extended warranty offer in the time to come.....or buy 2005AX from a local dealer..

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Dear experts,
Have recently purchased G6 2005-AX. It came with Windows 7 basic, which I have upgraded it to Windows 8 (Fresh Install + deleted all the original partitions !)
Now I face no problem except Fan speed. I have already disabled the "always on'" feature in BIOS, but problem remains. I have also downloaded & installed Coolsense driver 2.10.42 from here but again no success.

I have noted that Jaskanwar, has mentioned in post#928 almost the same problem, but has not come up to mention if he has actually solved this problem.
Guidance is required,

Regards,
Manmeet.

Hi
Have upgraded the BISO from F.08 to F.14 + Power Option set to "power saver mode" + Disabled always ON feature in new BIOS + reinstalled Coolsense V2.10.42.

I found this page in HP giving description to solve FAN noise problem. But problem remains.

Also, I havn't yet installed any drivers from hp site since I will do it once I have installed win7 64bit. Now, With win7 32 bit, I have noticed that after full charge the battery shows only 2 hours of backup! the site claims the backup to be 6hours! Is something wrong? Is the problem because I have installed 32bit OS and not installed drivers yet? pls help

thanks bro
And yea I remember that

And yea got the warranty for free there was a source who helped me out .

BTW one suggestion, 2010AX is listed on HP website, but when I talked to them ( HP Delhi dealing manager) he told me straight forwardly that 2010AX is a exclusive product by Flipkart and HP have NO intentions of giving service in late future as they consider this product as "imported" in their list.

Quite shocking but yes thats the truth and because of the uncertainty of their decision, I made the choice of purchasing 2005AX instead of the latter one.

To those who bought 2010AX: Don't get me wrong and don't ever think that what will happen to your warranty and stuff. If you have the bill and is valid, you can claim the service whenever you want under the warranty period. I took that decision because I'm kinda reluctant when it comes to situation having such type of decisions and thats because I've suffered a lot during RMA period of my MSI mobo and CM PSU. I just didnt want to repeat that cycle again so I considered playing safe. Enjoy your extended RAm, HDD and HP's "crap softwares free" laptop.

yes it contains all of your preloaded drivers
you can use it in new OS only if that OS contains the same folder in your OS directory

Hi GG,

Purchasing extended warranty normally from HP which costs ~ Rs. 3000 for a year and purchasing under this offer are two different things. As me and you are aiming to get it under the offer for Rs. 1133:

If invoice is in your brother's name, register with his name and address only and send his docs, ID proof etc.

Your invoice date is 11th June, you MUST complete the registration by today.

You registered with your name and supplied wrong serial, thats a blessing in disguise actually.

The serial no is the 10 character alphanumeric one on black sticker as you already found out. Ref:
Interpreting an HP serial number – Viktor Balogh's HP-UX blog

Re-register today with your brother's details and this correct serial number.

I will be PMing you regarding something. Please do check it out.

-Regards,
Akash

Hi aakash bro.. I'm interested in buying this laptop as it best suits my requirements, but I have some doubts to be cleared.. I have heard about some rumors that the "Chicklet keyboard" is problematic.. I wanted to know whether this keyboard also has such problems and I also wanted to know whether it has the numeric keypad or not.. And if possible, please post some original snaps of this product..
Thanx bro..

2010AX is a flipkart exclusive laptop and may take some time before it appears in local stores. currently 2005AX & 2201AX are the 2 laptops you can find in local stores.

use Partition Master. You'll have to change one of the partition to dynamic to create another partition.
And instead of creating recovery partition, create a recovery image with Macrium Reflect and restore it when your OS gets corrupt.

Disks are basic/dynamic, not partition. Partitions are primary, logical or extended.

He will have to convert one partition into extended so that he can create up to 64 logical partitions.

doesn't accidental damage cover all these. If you can visit a local computer shop and ask them the cause of this problem, just to be sure.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I used Gparted for my 2005AX

There were 2 primary partitions already, actually 3 because HP made a separate BOOT partition.

So, what I did was extracted like 400Gbs from C:\ and created one "extended partition", which further helped me creating sub partitions.
Now I have 4 partitions for windows (C:\ , Boot, Recovery and D:\ ) and another 4 partitions for Fedora (/root, swap, /home, /boot )

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Ah finally received the 3 year carepaq certificate after 2.5 months! In this period, I have become very fond of this laptop. It's super-glossiness still bugs me, but for all purposes its perfect for me. At 30% brightness and CPU downclocked to 1.9GHz, I can easily squeeze out two 720p mkv movies (of roughly 4hrs, great for travels).

tejjammy said:
Hey guys I had a simple query, please help me with it. How well will Photoshop and Lightroom fare on 2010AX?

Take it from a heavy 'shopper, this machine is sufficiently fine for even 3D stuffs in PS Extended. What does slows it down is After Effects but that maybe because AE is more optimized for nvidia graphics. Other daily use apps won't be a problem either. Gaming performance is the best for the price.

Some tips:
Don't update graphics until a stable "Enduro" release comes out by year end.
Must update BIOS and Wi-Fi drivers coz I had been facing random BSODs and the update fixed it.
Tried Windows 8, seems wasted on a non-touch device and gives lesser battery life. Save your 700 bucks and get a Windows 8 theme instead

Cooling pads are placebo IMHO, just mess around with clocks and configs for better thermals.

Ok, thanks. Was a little confused there, damn product names

But my intention was to point out that the default vision drivers by HP are currently more stable than the subsequent catalyst releases (12.8, 12.9 and the current beta11) and they also include the SATA, USB 3 and other chipset drivers.
The new dynamic switching tech might be just for the 28nm 7-series cards but Enduro is not just that, it's also supposed to bring a "unified" driver updates for an all-AMD laptop like ours (processor+ mobo+ graphics).
That's why I urged users to not update graphics until a stable unified version comes out

From AnandTech :

The biggest news with the latest iteration of Enduro is that AMD is planning to make universal reference drivers available for all the Enduro laptops. It’s not clear precisely what that means, but potentially any laptop with Dynamic Switchable Graphics or later (e.g. PX4.0 and later) would be supported by AMD’s “reference” drivers. That’s huge, and if AMD can deliver it will assuage most of our concerns with their hardware/software.

The default vision drivers are 12.6 version which is almost a year old..i subsequently updated 12.8,9,10 versions with slight improvement of performance
but did int face any issues..Even HP is recommending latest versions..The stability issues you mentioned are mostly faced by enduro series GPUs not older ones...So ii think its ok to update..

I think there is nothing much to expect for us..Even if a stable enduro driver comes out because we are too old.

It’s not clear precisely what that means

Even AnandTech dont have any idea

all they claim is a universal reference driver..

Any was lets hope for the best..

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I have a query.

I have two adapters.

The old Compaq one: 18.5V, 3.5A, 60W

And the new HP 2005AX's: 19V, 4.74A, 90W.

I dont want to use both adapters, so-

Can I use Compaq one for both laptops? (Which I am using currently, just want to know if I am not endangering laptops.)
Or should I use HP one for both?
Or I should use separate individuals?

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

the HP laptop should exceed 60W under load. Thats why HP shipped a 90W adapter at the first place. Else get ready for shutdown under load.

Re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

FK is offering a great deal right now so you guys might reconsider before buying 2010ax.
If you go for 2005ax you will get a Rs. 1000/- e-gift voucher with the help of which you can buy another 4gb ram which will increase your ram to 8gb (which is more than 2010ax). I'm quite sure many people who went for 2010ax didn't even require 1tb of hd and would have used 500gb of hd with ease. Also the 2005ax model gives you a wireless mouse which is a little small but really good.

How is Samsung NP355V5C-S03IN compared to Hp-G6-2005ax?

I do not know about the particular model, but I will give some personal experience and opinion.

Samsung is new in laptop business, I have NEVER seen anyone using a Samsung laptop.

BUT, my brother sent a Samsung laptop for my uncle from US, when I saw the laptop, I was like WTF?

It has poor build quality. Though it is a budget $430 laptop.
It is a very poorly designed.
There is NO capslock or numlock or scrolllock indicator AT ALL.
Its charger is like one of those cheapo chinese tablets charger. The cords are as thin as my 100rs mouse's cord. Really really cheap stuff. Its adapter was two pin, not conventional three pin. And the adapter gets extremely hot, even during this winter. Dont know why.

While HPs are really professional laptops, even the budget ones. They give you premium quality stuff, which really lasts long.

you can do it yourself. just open the back cover removing the 3-4 screws and plug in the ram.

No, budget HP laptops have low hardware configuration, but theirs stuff is pretty standard.
I have used many budget HP laptops, all of their chargers are of standard quality.

Even a 45,000 priced Sony viao's adapter has poor quality.
Its power cord is like my chinese rechargeable torch's charging power chord! Too thin, and two pinned.

your laptop processor is running at full load all the time. check the settings in AMD CCC and make appropriate changes (when on battery 1400Mhz max). Thats why you are getting less backup and more noise from fan.

The number of cores won't matter for OS boot up time. Anything more than two is fine. Hard Disk speed will have the biggest role to play.

May be you got a laptop with Toshiba hard disk. Toshiba hard disks are slow.

In graphics settings off the both shadows nd Night shadows nd set Texture quality to high then play the game

Now u can play the game without lag

Read speed of a 3.0 drive goes upto 150MB/s, and write speed upto 40MB/s. Theoretically, 10 times faster than 2.0. Its definitely worth the cost

Its a great lappy especially when it comes to gaming, perfect for programming too and no overheating problem, all laptops heats up while gaming with such graphics cards.
but don't have insane expectations with such price point

I think this feature is only associated with Samsung models, no such limit here with me on HP.

This is for prolonging the life of the battery, but Something is wrong, i saw this type of things in samsung laptops, and that too with a BIOS setting to enable the full 100 % charge.

How is the keyboard on this laptop? Does anyone feel that pressing two or more arrow keys at same time flexes the keyboard down and back up giving irritating sound and such...?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

I love the keyboard on this laptop...the keys are very well seperated and feel very nice while typing. The keyboard is one of the best part about this laptop.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

yeah i do agree the keyboard is very good . .. But while using the arrow keys to play games i can hear it making sound due to flex. Did u experience the same too? press left arrow and then right arrow applying some pressure u may hear that..

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

better to use ASWD keys than arrow. or use the number pad if you are not used to left hand controls. i tried playing games with arrow keys but gave up after few minutes.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

Sorry for posting this here too but since my query is related to g62010ax i thought it might be better to put it here .
I have only a budget of 35k and i need a laptop for the sole purpose of gaming (i know gaming in this price range will be more or less mediocre). I've zeroed in on g6 2010ax (or 2005ax).
I have some queries -
*will it be wise to shell out more money to buy an i5 3rd gen+7670m laptop ? Wise in the sense that will it be more future proof when it comes to gaming than g6 one ? Will ivy bridges processing capabilities over a8 impart noticeable differences in gaming ? Is 7670m better than dual graphics on g6 ? Since we are talking about gaming - are there differences in heating between Intel and amd ones ?
i won't be doing much processor intensive tasks and i know very well that routine tasks i will do can be swiftly run by the trinity apu . All i need to know is how g6 2010ax compares to other 3rd gen with dpGPU when gaming is concerned !

Any help is highly appreciated .
Thanks is advance !

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

size of arrow keys isn't much of a problem to me and btw i have no num pad. not used to left hand playing style too. Playing with the arrow keys for a while reduced the flex a bit..

I don't find it that tough to play with the arrow keys...they feel fine and comfortable after a while. I played nfs for a long time on those keys.

dual GPU works fine only in new games. still it is a hit and miss.

nikufellow said:

because of the low resolution display, gaming performance will be same in most games. but a few demanding games will scale performance with i5.

you can also go for HP Pavilion G6-2230TX.

Yep they are just fine.. the only thing is my keyboard is pushing down and up sometimes while using combination of arrow keys . Is it normal or do i need to change keyboard or remove and put it back to fit in properly? It's a new laptop by the way...

lol.... which one's urs? mine's g4 and doesn't have numpad so the arrow keys are at the bottom right corner. Thing is it happens only when pressed hard n stays like that until , when not using it for a while the flex goes off but comes back when using them again. weird

Will 2203tx be better than g6 2005ax in gaming ? I don't mind ivy bridges performance gains but if there are any sort of improvements in gaming due to 3rd gen i3 especially since the price of both laptops fall in same range i would like to know ?

gaming performance should be slightly more in games that favor higher clockspeed but in most games, it'll be same. if you don't want to experiment around with dual GPU, go for 2203TX.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

in hp g6-2005ax the memory clock speed of 7670 is clocked at only 500mhz. It should be 900 mhz right?

With the assumption that you are talking about 2230 with is in the same price range as the 2010AX, the the hell you will choose a lappy with less 4 gigs RAM and less 500 gigs of HDD and with no Dual Graphics just for the sake of a i3.
Keeping crossfires issue in mind, you can always disable it and as the drivers are in the process of being mature, you are on the positive side anyways.
and believe me, the trinity will not disappoint you .

click on the battery and then the last option. Just fiddle around and you'll get customization option. there you can select safe charge, warning charge and lots more. or caliberate your battery (charge battery full and drain it completely without charging).

Actually both are almost same but HP one has dual graphix setup that is not consistent in older DX9 games..
But newer drivers are improving it.

if you are using HP recommended mode (power mode), create one according to your needs.
some users have said restoring the laptop (using recovery disc most probably) fix this problem. you can try that once.

if hot air is blowing out, then fan is working well. unless the laptop cross the 100 figure mark, it is fine.

you'll need a hard drive casing. sata HDD casing will cost you 400-500 bucks locally.

Vram

Also can vram be increased/decreased on our discretion

nope. shared memory is fixed to 512MB and is only available to the integrated HD7620G. i was talking about the graphics memory of dedicated graphics memory of discrete GPU. 7670M is hardly better than my HD5670 (desktop GPU) and it has only 512MB ram still play most games at mid-high. Its just marketing strategy. Just check the reviews. People shouting "superb gaming laptop".

Thank that settles my doubts . But aren't there any benefits of 2gb vram - however minute it is ?
Am asking because i was thinking of buying 2201ax but it isn't available at local stores but they've informed me that they'll be stocking 2301ax in few days . Would have bought 2005ax but don't want to go through the hassle of manually upgrading to windows 8

Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2201/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

2GB graphics memory will help had the GPU been HD7770M or something better. for a low-midrange GPU, 512MB is sufficient. 1GB is overkill. 2GB is pure marketing strategy (people will go wow when they see a 2.5GB GPU under 35k)

if the price difference is minimum between 2201AX & 2301AX, go for the latter but you'll find both to be exactly same.

2010ax is a special FK only offer and will not be available anywhere else. You will have to wait till it's back in stock or if it is permanently discontinued, you can go for 2005ax.

1366X768 i.e. standard resolution with most games can be played at high (Dirt Showdown, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty BO i.e. 2010-11 games) and some (Most Wanted 2012, Battlefield 3) at low-mid.

AMD A10 Laptops are here .. And again it's HP who made the first move..

HP Pavilion G6-2313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

Pricing is as expected .. But unfortunately most people will go for A8 @ 5k less or go for better laptops of i5 3rd gen .. At least that's what makes sense .. Except for the 2GB GPU all other specs are same as G6-2010AX..

Disable crossfire to use 7640g (it can be done in high performance mode aswell) and you can't use 7670m alone. It can only be used in crossfire with the 7640g i guess.

rockz3r said:

I played and completed Max Payne 3 a week back .. I have used AMD Catalyst 12.8 initially .. But then reinstalled windows 7 and played it with the default factory drivers as I'm not willing to update drivers till AMD releases something new .. Maybe 13.01 .. Apparently with high settings there was considerable lag,set everthing to medium(normal) runs smooth even with highest resolution.. Now when using high performance mode you will see inside game settings that graphics memory available is 1024MB with dual gpu off and this is the best settings to play the game.. Turn on dual gpu the graphics memory increases to 3072MB .. But then there will be lags again and not as smooth as when using single gpu.. So AMD crossfire is backfiring and no solution yet .. Don't think the latest drivers released would solve it .. Maybe we have to wait further..

Yes battlefield 3 runs really awesome with medium settings at 1366*768 .. No problems whatsoever .. really surprised me!

Didn't expect so much out of A8 .. Now this laptop is proving my money's worth .. I'm really eager on playing GTA V on this machine .. See how that turns out .. Hope Rockstar doesn't release a 30GB game .. the way they're increasing the game sizes of GTA since San Andreas we're up for a lot of surprises ..

not possible. from what i have seen, if you switch to high performance and disable crossfire, 7670M kicks in.

RahulBiswas said:

A10 cost 3k more than A8. i5 cost 3k more than A10. but instead of A10, i'll choose i5 anyday. A8 is unbeatable at 33-34k. I was expecting a 7770M + A10 setup by HP/Samsung but only 7670M can crossfire with the fGPU of APU which is AMD's trump card which they don't want to give up. They are kicking themselves limiting the crossfire configuration and not fixing the reduced crossfire performance.

GTA V may end up as a console game only and later getting ported to PC (and you get a buggy nonperforming console port just like GTA4). And 30GB "may" turn out to be the under size. i expect the game to balloon to ~35GB+

HD 7670M is pretty old now.. Something new should be available by now .. it's strange really .. sticking with the same configuration for almost a year now.. AMD is also delaying the new driver updates .. Been sometime now..

add me to the list of peoples who don't understand HP's strategy. why not a laptop with no discrete GPU. or a A8 based probook. But most likely, 2010AX is to be retired or this one will not be FK exclusive.

it'll take ~2-months before AMD 8-series mobile GPU appears but those will shuffle the performance and sku's as HD 8670M is going to be lowend and perform worse than 7670M. Instead of 87xxM going to take place of 7670M.

what i don't understand here is why companies put 2GB graphic cards in every laptop? the fact is while gaming it hardly uses 900MB of graphic card, 2GB graphic cards are useless and also adds to overheating.

Query for HP Pavilion G6-2313AX laptop having AMD A10-4600M Trinity processor..

I am thinking of buying HP Pavilion G6-2313AX, the specs look real good and it looks like a good value buy. Has anyone yet used/tried it. I checked the local stores in Ahmedabad, but they didn't have it. I want to buy this in couple of days.
Only problem is, it comes with only DOS, so might have to invest xtra 3.5K in Win8 DVD from Flipkart. So the combo of the laptop with Win8 will cost around 41K. is it really worth it???Please help asap.

you get GPU from AMD, Nvidia & Intel and with different naming scheme it becomes PITA to tell which GPU is best because not only SKU differ, there is new lineup of GPU released every year. There are charts and graphs that allows easy comparison but finding such a chart itself is another pain. So most simply assume more memory = better GPU.

Won't blame them for being a noob as when it comes to certain electronics i am almost same.

No i don't think laptop with A10 without dedicated GPU will come soon, atleast will take 2 months to come in market, and between those two laptops, go for the processor with A10, but if your budget is 38K, you can get 3rd gen I5 with AMD 7670M also.

After using this lappy for over 5months on bed and unable to play games for over 30mins nowadays, I desperately need a cooler. Even though this isnt best for the ones with side vents, still i found it best for this price range. btw, how many vents does 2005ax has?

btw, are there any coolers for laptops with side vents? all i can find are for the ones with vents in center.

and how does the cooling system work? by supplying air to the vents? if so then we can simply place an external small fan facing the vents, supplying cool air into it.. how about it?

After using this lappy for over 5months on bed and unable to play games for over 30mins nowadays, I desperately need a cooler. Even though this isnt best for the ones with side vents, still i found it best for this price range. btw, how many vents does 2005ax has?

btw, are there any coolers for laptops with side vents? all i can find are for the ones with vents in center.

and how does the cooling system work? by supplying air to the vents? if so then we can simply place an external small fan facing the vents, supplying cool air into it.. how about it?

AFAIK the intake vent is at the bottom left side and exhaust on the side.

Is it recommended to download the new amd catalyst 13.1 generic driver or stay with latest hp driver which is of catalyst 12.8 for switchable graphics with intel proc ?

always recommended to use latest drivers. And installing driver always creates a restore point so in case the new driver causes instability, roll back to last restore point.

I once messed up my friend's 2005AX installing the desktop catalyst package. restore point saved the day.

One question, all the cheaper models are out of stock in FK, as I am buying next week, what would be the best option for me now?

PS: There was a cheap model with 1TB hdd and linux, damn fk removed it and increased prices, f'n thieves.

Also any input on this model?

~~I'll ask them, if they do, what are my options?~~

Is the Samsung model worth it? It's cheaper than HP and has better specs at that.

Forget it, they will, I put the pincode and they have COD at my location, now tell me, what do you think of the samsung model I pointed above? Is it good? The nearest HP model will cost me a lot more.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Well I am using 2005ax for a few months now but even planetside 2 on low settings lags like crazy

am I missing something here ?

edit :
Running with dual graphics disabled, high performance mode on but still games like even Team Fortress 2 is giving 10-12 fps only
The side vents blowing out hot air like crazy, using the zebronics nc4000 cooling pad , seems to have helped a bit with the temperatures but performance is still bad

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I picked up my old copy of mass effect 1 (big ME fan

) and was looking for a maxed out graphics gameplay. I updated the game to the latest patch, catalyst to 13.1 but was disappointed to see that the laptop was barely able to run it for 10 mins before hibernating due to overheating. I tried lowering the settings but still not able to push it to more than 30 mins of continuous gameplay. Anyone else getting this?
I'd last played it on a Dell with GeForce 8600M and it never used to overheat. I'm guessing AMD's dismal compatibility issues are to blame here.

HP G6 is 100% plastic but feels really durable. The build is fine unless you compare it with probook/thinkpad or maybe the DV series.

Hmm, I was already gunning for HP then greedy flipkart increased prices and removed the cheaper models.

Fk does this all the time, a product sells good, they immediately increase the prices.

I'd look for HP locally, maybe I can get better rates here.

Remove asus and acer laptops as they don't have discrete gpu. lenovo is more of an ultra portable than a mainstream laptop, so its least powerful overall.
Go for samsung s05in that comes with cooler. cheap for its price also has matte screen. Or else 2313ax would do better processor but 4500/- more which is quite expensive when compared.

the a6 3420m is faster than 2nd gen i3 and close to i5 with its integrated gpu. Benchmarks show that the a8 4500m is nearly twice as fast as a6. however i don't think there's any laptop with 7670m on a6 quad core.

Neither do i know why local stores are claiming such high prices with respect to fk . I am from kerala and this is my first time experience buying laptops . Neither we have an authorized hp showroom nearby .
It would have been awesome if i could find 2313ax or g4 2049tx at around 38k in local stores (can't buy from fk) but the former is not available (they say not yet launched) and latter priced too steep (41k)

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Got 2201AX a couple of days back and NFSMW is the first game I've run on this. Dual graphics were enabled and the game lagged like hell and was unplayable. Disabled dual graphics and voila, smooth as butter even in high settings.

Now, isn't APU + GPU supposed to increase performance than just APU? Either I've read feck all these past days or I am missing something here :-|

Can someone clear this up? Thanks!

Its a driver issue, dual graphics only works in DX11, since MW is not a DX11 title, when you play it with that it actually runs of the internal card, sad but true.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I think nfsmw IS a dx11 title. AMD has kinda ruined this dual graphic concept on this. I hope they update the drivers to fix this problem.

That they did, but compared to a ci3 its better, as dual graphics work in ~~a lot of games(does not work in a lot as well)~~, only one or two games, 99% won't, so for those that work you'll get a boost, for others it will not.

Its a big issue, anyway as I heard richland will have GCN cores on die, that will allow true dual graphics(true asymmetric cf).

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

After much experience with my laptop(2005ax) I must say, it has performed better than I thought. Even though it lacks performance in day-to-day tasks, it performs amazingly while gaming. My boot up time and app launch time is more than my friends laptop (hp i5 3rd gen+7670m) but it surprisingly performs much better while gaming. If you want to buy a mid range gaming laptop, this one is just amazing in its price range. There is no such over heating issue for me yet (every laptop heats up during gaming, even this one). The only part where it lacls IMO is while performing simple non-gaming tasks and especially boot up. It's a little slow there when compared to intel laptops. Also, hp service is quite good and this laptop will give you a dust+finger magnet but a premium finish. So, for 33k, this one is a steal.

My roommate has this laptop. I had tried DiRT 3.

If playing on low 1366x768 and using Dual Graphics, you won't notice any boost over only Discrete GPU. But if you are running DiRT 3 on medium/high then you feel Dual Graphics kicking in.

It won't work for any DirectX 9 game however but will work on AMD sponsored DirectX 11 games. Enabling Dual Graphics for DirectX 9 game = choppy.

Also make sure that you have the latest AMD CAP installed. AMD Catalyst Application Profile

Guys the battery is not even 3 months old and it is giving me this trouble, please tell me what to do? Can I get it replaced under warranty? Should I caliberate it ? How? What to do? I need help.

I have the same laptop and i bought the corsair vengeance ram. Either go for that or gskill but make sure you go for a 1600mhz ram ad not the 1333mhz.
IMO corsair vengeance is really good.

1600MHz won't work, in dual mode both rams run at lowest settings, and afaik HP Bios won't allow you to OC the rams, someone shed some light on this.

If its running at 1600Mhz it will show this:

Well, Harsh Pranami's CPU Z link shows otherwise, his rams are running at 1333MHz, check yours, and do check Bios, if there is a way to change the freq of those rams from there.

If one of your modules run @ 1333, both will run at 1333, as in dual channel both rams run at lowest speed.

Rammon shows the installed RAM is of 1600mhz. But CPU Z shows they are running at 1333mhz. I wonder if it requires some tweaking in BIOS.

What I think is that the RAMs are capable of running at 1600MHz, its just that they are running at 1333Mhz, anyway with CPU Z, check this tab, check the slots, ram could be in any slot, post the details of the default ram here:
*i.imgur.com/TdluUvB.jpg

See here, if I run Jedec#4 I get 1333Mhz, which is the default speed of the RAM, but I use XMP profile(its a oc'ed setting) and get 1600MHz, I can OC more(1800MHz), but 1600MHz is a guaranteed OC.

So your rams can run at 1600Mhz, ok open BIOS and check if RAM timings can be changed. And then if its allowed, use timings 800Mhz(i.e 1600MHz), and the 4 latencies in order 11-11-11-30, and try to boot.

PS: This is risky, in pc if something happens you just have to reset the mobo, but that option is not available in laptops, you have to open laptop to reset the CMOS clock, recommended that you don't do this, just get the GSkill RAM I suggested and install it in your laptop and call it a day, for laptops 1333 and 1600 won't make heaven and earth difference.

Disclaimer: I will no way be responsible if you brick your laptop doing this, if any other users have tried this, he can comment here.

I'll go forward with the Gskill ram. But still wouldn't it be better if I buy a 1600mhz.Just in case I need to tweak that setting in BIOS in future.I won't do it now though since my lappy is only 2 months old.

Of course, G.Skill DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (F3-12800CL11S-4GBSQ) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com

I just wanted to save you 400/-, cause no matter how old I wouldn't tweak with my lappy, a wrong ram timing can literally brick it for good.

been trying to boost the performance of my G6-2005AX for months now but still no use.
Disabling dual graphics... enabling them... putting in high performance mode .. all done but still old games like tf2 gives me 10 fps ..

would really appreciate it if someone actually knows any more methods ?

The problem should be with the game not with lappy. I get about 30fps while playing battlefield 3(dx11 mode) in auto settings in which most options are set at ultra or high. But when I play some other game like amazing spider man (dx9) I get only 15fps. And the same amazing spider man runs like butter on nvidia's 410m which is equivalent to intel hd 3000.

I don't play much but so far these many games have issues
1. tf2 : 10-12 fps most of the time, have to start in software mode dx 8 to get like 20 fps
2. witcher 2 : it's like watching an old slow motion movie, move and then wait for a few seconds ... move again ... too choppy
3. Planetside 2 : game loads, you enter the map and poof .. thats it .. cant move or shoot or even run around
4. Magicka : runs smooth most of the time but then when there are multiple enemies casting multiple spells.. it hangs for like a few seconds .. happens all too frequently now

Hmm, I was gonna order today, more research to do.

erm erm, no problems like hellscream666.

Team Fortress 2 is 100+ FPS easily @ the laptop's resolution.
The Witcher 2 works fine with medium-low settings. Smooth. Dual Graphics should be off.

Catalyst 12.10 from AMD.

Download this - AMD Catalyst

Click next. It will download and install Catalyst 13.1.

The problems you're mentioned aren't there in the first place. 7 people in my hostel have this laptop. One is my room mate.

anyway, first thing which I do on these laptops is install "non-touched" Windows and activate it with the serial number written below. Getting rid of HP crapware is important.

Your post 6 months back. I guess, it's something which you have done.

Well I could provide a screenshot with my fps when I get back home from work if that would suffice

On the other hand , will try out 13.1 and see if the issues are solved.
Could the low performance be somehow related to the heating issues? I am using a cooling pad n all as I was hoping to avoid the overheating usually seen in hp laptops

Firstly, there is no heating issue and overheating.

Since this laptop was working fine for you earlier, I've quoted your old post.. low performance is probably because of something which you have done. Problem at your end.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Im not facing any such problems like hellscream is. I own a 2005ax and tf2 is butter smooth. Havent tried other games so I wont comment on them. But I can run many open world games easily except saints row 3 and assassins creed 3. If you are into gaming, I'd suggest this laptop over i3 anyday.

Yes It was working fine initially and now it is not and I have not done any tinkering around other than install the drivers. That is the reason why I am in a fix and trying to sort out what is the issue.
and I am NOT dissuading anyone from buying the machine, just that looking for a solution to my issues.

Edit 1: Yes there were heating issues and the laptop used to shut down with a message that the temperature has reached the safety limit.

Edit 2: So installed 13.1 and the profile, disabled dual graphics ... tf2 runs at 30 fps now that is a decent improvement but nowhere near the 100 fps that others have posted though. Will test on others and update

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

^^ Pretty much everyone now packages Windows 7 drivers alongside Windows 8 drivers. If you are downloading a driver for Windows 8, the same would also contain files for Windows 7 and will work smoothly.

Ok, I'll download one and check, btw doesn't list 32bit as well, lets see if its there as well, I always use 64bit, but for uninformed users, not good HP, not good at all.

BTW: Can I install catalyst drivers with this? Or will it require some special driver due to the hybrid graphics?

Oh hell no, FU HP, this is ridiculous, that's it, no more 2313AX for me:

And the final nail to the coffin:

Everyone, immediately stop suggesting 2313AX unless the user also plans to purchase windows 8 for $199(that's the new price right?). OR the one FK used to sell for 3k.

Drivers from other models will work, but no more BIOS updates and drivers may not be updated, so be careful.

Not sure of the context, but witcher 2 ran smoothly in 2005ax. (and i havent even updated anything in past 6months)
and m not an expert, but in my experience, if I had to buy a new lappy, i wouldnt think twice about 2313ax.

Even knowing 2313AX has drivers for win 8 only? And current retailing price for such as $199

No need to go all furious now, check this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/reviews/1...op-having-amd-a8-4500m-trinity-processor.html
And this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/reviews/158652-hp-pavilion-g6-2005ax-review-benchmarks.html

Well I tried with the new drivers too but still slow as hell , and I checked back all the stuff I have installed and other than iTunes and a few games, not really dont anything to the machine. So logged a complaint with HP regarding this and the heating issue, technician is due to come tomorrow.. hopefully something will get fixed **fingers crossed**

Answer:
1.Yes
2. Nope, the CF is totally broken, it decreases performance in most games, so in the end you have to mainly use 7670m only.

Anyone is facing speaker sound problem here? The left speaker sounds very low than the right in mine.. and when i increase volume above 50, even for the windows sound when moving the volume control up there's a sort of buzz sound coming from left speaker around power button. Could it be a possible hardware issue?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

So after numerous trials including doing a recovery and deleting hp 'crapware' , I was unable to gain a significant performance increase with my lappy. So enter HP CC. The issue was that my fan was not working properly and core temperatures were pretty damn high, so new part ordered, will be installed on saturday...and hopefully everything would be just fine then :-D

Crossfire works well with some games. More games will be supported as driver updates are rolled out. Check how CF benefitted in dirt 3 and just cause 2

Nope, 2313AX, but intel is better than AMD is a fail logic.

Anyway, 2049TX is good, also note neither these laptops have any Win 7 driver available online, Hp only provides Win 8 drivers, so you have to buy or pirate win 8.

2049TX is a 14" laptop. For gaming a 15" laptop is always recommended because of the extra display. So either 2313AX or better increase budget and get something like HP Pavilion G6-2202TX. Also another reason for avoiding a 14" is they lack a numberpad. This comes really handy in racing games.

can you access the fan by removing the back panel. check if the fan is spinning or if it moves at all (without turning laptop on). whatever be the case, call HP CC and report about this thing.

No the fan is not spinning at all. If I pess enter to continue boot, after two mins laptop overheats and switches itself off.

Help needed!!!! I was browsing through the threads when I saw a post that said "opening laptop to install RAM will void the warranty" Is it true??? HP engineer is to come in 2-3 days to service my laptop. Should I remove the extra installed RAM??

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Installing RAM doesn't void warranty.

If you might have seen, the RAM is in one easily openable compartment with no seal.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Brought the hp 2005ax at 33k locally 2 days ago. Was reading reviews since 2 months and finally got hold of it.
One question just for peace of mind-2049tx is available at 36.9k at flipkart, should i have gone for that? Or have i made a good decision?
Personally i think this is a very good gaming laptop and worth the money. Two days and this has already proven itself.
Games played-
NFS MW2(all maxed out~25 to 30fps though i play at mid~38fps)
Battlefield3(just installed seems around 35 fps at mid cool isnt it?)
Some please tell me which driver updates i should do as the drivers are still native

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Listen man, be happy with your 2005AX, I bought a Dell 15R for 35k just and bam, two days later I see 2049TX for 36k, so don't think about it, be happy and have peace of mind.

Do not look under here:

2049TX is a lot lot better than 2005AX, 2049TX is actually faster than many i5+GT630m laptops like Z580 selling for 40k+, I warned you to not look under here

For drivers, get the catalyst mobility 13.1 whql.

Its not, the 2049TX @ 36k would kill the A10, it can't even beat i3 let alone a i5 with turbo.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

^^ It is not like that. The performance of A10 is more closer to 2nd Gen i5 Mobile processors and higher than 2nd gen i3 2xxx M processors, depending upon the nature of the apps used. But 3rd gen i3 is equal or slightly ahead of A10.

2049 is worth the pricetag is you use an external keyboard because the cramped keys won't do much good. and happy with a 14" display. for gaming, even 15" looks small. BTW apply for the extended warranty offer. 2yr extended warranty for Rs.0.

mitraark said:

if he is ready to sell out 42k, then better to grab one powered by 3rd gen i5 + 7670M but at 36-38k, 2313AX makes more sense. Though i feel the price could have been lot less. As it is flipkart exclusive they have the final say on the price.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hello all,

I ordered g6 2313ax last sunday from flipkart and i received it today.

I installed windows 8 64 bit. I tried to play Need for speed Most Wanted (2012), at high settings the game is freezing a lot. i have to set to medium to play but still not very smooth.

2.5 gigs of Graphics memory and still not able to play the game

am i missing something ?

I didnt understand what settings to choose from the Catalyst .

Has anyone tried this game ?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hey Guys I have a weird problem with battery. It max capacity keeps changing. like sometimes its ~44K mWh and sometimes >47K.
Wear levels is still at 0%. Which is probably because 90% of the time it is plugged in but since it more than 5-6 months old i am a little worried.

Yup it lags a lot. Probably it is not compatible with this graphic card. I think there was a file in documents folder in which if you change the max FPS to 30, performance increases significantly.
When i checked the internet i saw that a lot of people were having the same problem. So its a problem with the game

Wrong Concept......
even 512MB of HD 7730M will perform faster than HD7670M

& Yes NFS MW lags a lot on this lappy

Have you tried the 30FPS lock using config? The game lags even with a GTX680, that config hack fixes it mostly.

Go to Documents > Criterion Games > NFS: MW > config. Open it with notepad and change the "Lockto30" setting to true.

It fixed gameplay somewhat on my GTX580 and another 7950 as well.

I will try that too.

And one more thing :

I am not able to find proper drivers for bluetooth.

Tried both Qualcom and Broadcom. Broadcom says there is no hardware found.

Please direct me to proper drivers.

Thanks in advance

i have bought 'HITMAN Absolution' to play it on my 'HP G6 2301AX'....
I installed it but when i am opening it to play nothing happening.
i had checked system requirement for 'HITMAN Absolution' on 'systemrequirementslab' and i passed it.....
when i Google about it i got that 'HITMAN Absolution' does not support 'windows 8' but some people on Google is telling that it supports also i saw on 'YouTube' that it supports.....

Has any one played it on HP g6 2301ax OR have you any solution.........

PLZ tell me i dying without playing it.........

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Download and install latest patch.

And let me give you a free advice, laptops have compatibility issues with many games, so recommended you get a 'demo' first and then buy the game.

I am getting 14 fps

well the game looks playable but 14 fps looks too less to me.

Any ways , can some one please direct me to the right drivers for my lappy : 2313ax , so far i tried 2 different drivers each 150+ mb , looks like i am simply wasting my bandwidth.

Kindly help me

Thanks in advance

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

MW 2012 lags in my pc as well. Googled a lot and found that problem is that the FPS drop is not related to details as the game is almost unplayable at any and all settings even with the config file edits or turning off HDR. Multiple updates were launched but haven't tested with them.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Planning to order G6-2314AX from FK. I will be basically using for :
1. Browsing .
2. Dad will be using for Office document editing n all.
3. Movies, Videos, 720/1080p.
4. May run some CADD softwares.

I wont be gaming most probably, coz i have a PS3 to get that job done. Still, i will run few games which are PC exclusives like Witcher and all. So, is this laptop enough for meeting my requirements ? Or should i look for a i5 one ? I wont be using for video editing and such stuff. Many already recommended me to go for this. Found this thread, so thought i should ask here as well.

But, one issue is, i cannot find any drivers to 2314AX in hp site. But, i guess 2005ax was basically the same one. I found its drivers for Win8/7 . So, I can use those drivers na ?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Which model out of all these offers Best Frame Rates in most of the recent games ???

ALso whether Core I5(IVB) + 7670M is faster or Core I5(IVB)+GT 630M is faster ???
I won't be going for the A8 or A10 due to their inferior raw processing power .

Thanks Tkin. SO 7670 is better than 630M right ?
Also are there any models with 2GB VRAM ?? Want to play with high textures and details so higher VRAM should be helpful , I think.

Also are there any upcoming models within 40-42k in next month ??
I will go to Nehru Palace , there laptops are usually cheaper than on Flipkart. Since its the IT market Hub so , can expect atleast 2-3k lesser than Online Price.

Additionaly , are there any previous generation Core I7 Laptops with Decent graphics , under that price tag ??

A. No mobile GPU under GT670m can use 2GB VRAM, so forget it.
B. No, no new models are coming afaik.
C. 2049TX is actually cheaper in flipkart, as they are giving an amazing discount with it. It will be costlier in neheru place.
D. No i5 laptops comes under 40k with 7670/GT630m, except that, forget i7.

You could get i5+GT630m and GT630m is near 7670m, just 2-4% slower only:

Acer Aspire V3 571G Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Linux/ 1GB Graph) (NX.RZJSI.006) - Acer: Flipkart.com

Lenovo Ideapad Z580 (59-333346) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Also 2049TX is 14", are you ok with a 14" laptop? If not go for the i5+630 based laptops I had given.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

There's a samsung laptop at 40k with second gen i7, but not good dGPU though, still a steal for the needy.

Great , looks like you cleared most of my doubts .

I would go for the 2049TX since I am okay with the 14" Screen[15.6" seems little bulky to me, and I will buy an External FHD monitor], though I will check the pricing at N.P. once before ordering from FK.

7670 is not powerful enough for gaming at fhd. And games look crap if you play them at a resolution lower than that of monitor.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

so many owners of Pavilion g6 series here.. can any1 confirm about the airflow direction in these laptops, whether these laptops suck in air from vents underneath the laptop or are they meant to give out air.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Honestly, g6 series have got a bad display, with very poor viewing angle. Watching movie along with friends is a PITA. Keyboard also seems fragile and shaky, but pretty OK.

Portability comes at a cost mate. So it's my genuine request to all laptop owners that don't expect nothing "highest" in a laptop, especially bf3 and the likes.

Nope, Nope I agree with Sujay, I have no experience with laptops still, i can presume that my 2010AX has one of the average displays,very refelctive and has very poor viewing angle, Its like a cheapest TN panel Display type.
The hardware is awesome tho, and only rarely you feel bad about the display

Well afa my experience is concerned, i think the vents at the bottom suck the air which hence is responsible for giving out hot air from the corner, correct me if i'm wrong

Maybe these can be the reasons, 14 vs 15.6 inches, 500GB+ HDD, +2 GB RAM, Extra video memory, New hike about the A10.

I am from Noida and been planning to go to Nehru Place to get the screen replaced, will HP replace the screen under warranty?
Keyword: Factory Warranty

And any idea on how much will it take to get the screen replaced from Nehru Place and any shop which I can trust.
15.6" 1366x768.

Thanks in advance.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

The accidental damage protection covers this aspect and HP will replace the screen for you at no extra charge. Just call the service centre guys and they will clarify all you queries... The number is provided on your laptop but you can find it online aswell.

just ordered a g6-2313 from flipkart. i hope extra 4k is the worth.
jesus i have 1.5k in my bank account now. guys i cant rest or sleep.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Lol should have gone for a cheaper one in that case...but owell...the laptop is great anyway.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Buying a laptop with asymmetrical crossfire is certainly paying off now. Crysis 3 officialy supports ACF. Just check the image below.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hey, so I ordered a g6-2313ax a few days back and got it delivered today :-D

. I just had a question,

What cooling pad should i buy for moderate to heavy gaming?? If it helps, the outflow vent is on the left at the back and i think the inflow vents are at the bottom. And are Zebronics cooling pads good? I'm thinking of getting one locally. Any suggestions?? :-?

@Sankar
You could have probably cancelled yesterday and got a refund. I think it's too late now though.

@Sankar

My advice would be to stay away from the Local Cooling pads as much possible.
Reason : The cheap ones can risk your laptop by withdrawing more power than standard coolers. And might not necessarily provide the efficient cooling.

I personally love the Cooler Master Note-pal U2/U3 because they have adjustable fans , that can be placed anywhere and have efficient cooling.And look very cool.
But don't expect too much difference in temperature while gaming.

S

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@ DVJex
Yea i know. I ordered my laptop on Sunday still i have not received it yet.
Meanwhile i stopped seeing the reviews . it just painful to see.
BTW where are you from ?
Little advice from a less knowledgeable person like me regarding your cooling pad please buy a good band like Cooler master i have terrible experience with a SVB Cooling pad after six-seven month of usage my laptops usb malfunctioned and i have to sold the laptop dirt cheep it was a gigabyte I3 380m. in just two and half years i lost all my savings because of laptops!!!!

D

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@Rishi
Thx for the advice man, but those cooling pads are kinda expensive. Will have to see if i can get the dough. And if there isn't much of a drop in temperature with a cooling pad, is it really needed??

@sankar
Strange, even i ordered on Sunday and i got it on Tuesday at 7. I guess you live in a smaller city/town. Or did you order the combo with a cooling pad??
I live in Chennai.
If you have so much problems with laptops, you could go for a desktop if you dont need portability. You could get a decent one under 30k. It shud last a few years. And the driver problem according to the blog is mainly with AMD and Railink(Wifi/Bluetooth), it will get better with time. So maybe in a few months, Ubuntu wont be a problem for 2313ax... :-D

@all
Does anyone know a windows 7 driver for the wireless button on g6-2313ax? The win8 driver doesn't work and i cant install the bluetooth driver without bluetooth being switched on... Can't use wifi too :cry:

whole of HP G-series laptop series is identical. difference only being what is ticking inside. so instead of getting 2313AX, get 2314AX + a 64GB SSD.

4k for a 200Mhz bump in clockspeed. In real life it'll be like 2-3FPS increase. get 2314AX and save that 4k.

install Windows 7 & install same drivers as G6 2010AX. Most if not all drivers of 2010AX will work just fine on 2314AX.

you are correct i wish i have head the logical part of my brain. After one day usage i think that 4k was a waste a A8 would have been good. btw the are u going for his *ssl.www8.hp.com/h41268/live/index.aspx?qid=19251

Still havent bought my machine.For some moment i was sold on expensive sammy and than on lenovo.But both have its issue and hence i am back to buying a mid level model.

So with budget of 33k which peice to buy.

The latest one looks to have driver issues with linux system i guess.

2313AX's performance is almost same as 2314AX. Free DOS = DOS operating system (in short, NO OS).

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@sankar
Try using this:Unknown Device Identifier - Freeware Download
It will identify the devices in your laptop and you can get the driver for that. I still only have the bluetooth driver left to install. And I will probably be going for the 3k warranty offer.
If you do something apart from gaming, the A10 may be better for you. Though i think i shud have gone for one with A8 instead :cry:

...

@magnet
2313ax has some problems with ubuntu 12.10, haven't checked it out myself. Other laptops with AMD graphics might also have some driver issues, so you might want to look up those laptops if you want linux...

P

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

but..
2313AX has A10 n 2314AX has A8 processor right? 10 is better than 8 right? :S
and also on the graphic card memory, 2313 has 2.5 GB where 2314 has only 1.5GB right?

that makes no difference at all?

oh, so freedos = no os? we have to install it manually after getting the laptop?

prashob666 said:
2313AX has A10 n 2314AX has A8 processor right? 10 is better than 8 right? :S

simply not worth the 4k. Had it been like 35k for 2313AX, i'll recommend it. moreover doesn't come with Windows. also unlike Intel where jumping from core i3 to i5 is like 50% performance increase (usually), A8 to A10 will be 10-15% as A10 is simply A8 with the clockspeed bumped by 200Mhz.

prashob666 said:

2313AX has 7670M + 7660G & 2314AX has 7670M + 7540G. Performance wise 7660G is not much faster than 7540G. If you think about crossfire performance, it'll be really close again so i don't see much of a reason to go for 2313AX other than bragging rights that you have the fastest APU.

prashob666 said:

yes. you'll have to install it yourself.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@DVJex thanks man.
i had the missing driver for HP 3D Drive Protection.
U are correct about the A8. A10 is not that fast for its to justify a 6k. :cry:

did u send the money for the extended 2year warranty u have to register within 10 days of purchase?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Someone who has the g series intel+amd laptop tell me how to update the graphic drivers? Since it uses switchable feature and amd have stopped supporting them, it seems only the vendor graphic drivers will work and not the catalyst ones provided by amd. I'm confused whether i should myself try to install the catalyst whql ones or get the leshcatt's unifl ones. The reason for this is intel driver is also provided by amd in switchable graphics, else i need to download intel driver seperately if i go for whql catalyst and unsure whether it will work or not. So get leshcatt or amd catalyst whql??

if u are looking for better processor and graphics card buy the Samsung one.All the reviews that i have been seen A10 cant beat a I3 3rd generation.i think amd has dropped support for the switchable graphics but i am not sure about this.Battery backup is bad in g6 2313AX overall after purchase and using it for seven days i think i made a bad choice.

@ DVJex thanks for the headsup. i have send the documents to HP with 3k because i am completely broke one of my friend helped me out. so now i am completely broke and i have 3k loan on my head its just great it will be long before i will get the salary. i dont know what was i thinking when i purchased this.
a important question to you is that does your hard drive makes a noise i mean is it loud ? i can hear the noise from my hard drive when it works and its pretty loud and its really disturbing when i work at night alone.

All the BIOS updates seem to downgrade the RAM frequency to 1333MHz from 1600MHz .. So I downgraded the BIOS to F.14 dated 28 September 2012. And I have got a performance boost yet again and confirmed it from CPU-Z.. If you guys face the same problem revert back to the old BIOS.. HP haven't figured out what the problem is yet.. The games would give you improved performance with the fast RAM speed..

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

AMD cpus are not really office friendly IMO. If you play games rarely and are looking for a laptop for daily use(watching movies and playing games once in a while) and office use, go for intel cpu+ amd gpu. The AMD mobile cpus are okish. I got mine for 33k so I'm happy with it.

access time is faster in case of Intel processors. I don't know if this is because of L3 cache or low latency L2 cache but applications do open/respond faster in an Intel processor than AMD but still AMD processors are still very much usable. Maybe SSD will fix this issue.

I am still considering this model. Th GPU is obviously better, the question being, if it will be better than crossfire(7670M+7660G vs 8750M) and how big a difference is there in terms of processor (A10 4600 vs. i3 3120M)

Samsung NP370R5E-S06IN Notebook ( Intel Core i3-3120M/4 GB /750 GB HDD/ Win8/ 2 GB Graphics-AMD-8750M /15.6 Inch) - Buy Laptops Online @ Lowest Prices | Snapdeal

I am still considering this model. Th GPU is obviously better, the question being, if it will be better than crossfire(7670M+7660G vs 8750M) and how big a difference is there in terms of processor (A10 4600 vs. i3 3120M)

could you please respond to that soon..
And any other 2313AX users out there, please tell me your experience please..

reply fast.

@SAM, a final answer please?

i think 8750 s better then the 7670m i think u made a right decision. Can u answer me this question what the use of 7660G if u have a dedicated graphics card u are going to use that anyway for gaming. So if u factor out the 7660 the a10 becomes not favorable at all for the price i dont think crossfire works on all the games. i think the reviews that i haven seen a10 is around 20% to 40% slow then a i3 3110. i wish if u were here so u could see my lappy and get your mind set. believe me you made a right decision.

AMD cpus are not really office friendly IMO. If you play games rarely and are looking for a laptop for daily use(watching movies and playing games once in a while) and office use, go for intel cpu+ amd gpu. The AMD mobile cpus are okish. I got mine for 33k so I'm happy with it.

thanks man for the info yea i should have gone with a8.

Just thought I'd chime in to mention that I got my Pavilion G6 2314 AX on the 30th. Ordered from flipkart on the 29th and it was on my desk 16 hours later.

Absolutely chuffed with it although it took me a while to get all the Win 7 drivers sorted. HP sure doesn't make things easy for you.

a important question to you is that does your hard drive makes a noise i mean is it loud ? i can hear the noise from my hard drive when it works and its pretty loud and its really disturbing when i work at night alone.

My HDD is quiet. So maybe you should get it checked?
My main problem with the system is only heat, the spot left of the touchpad (which i assume is the processor) gets heated quite a bit and is terrible with demanding games ;(. So what cooling pad are you using?

For the GPU, use the link below,
Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards - NotebookCheck.net Tech
The difference is mostly abt 0-20 FPS,based on the game. Though i'm not sure abt the driver versions used. The Samsung might be a better buy, but you should look for reviews on that model.
And g6-2313ax is good enough for me. Except for the proccy heating up which i think is HP's fault

, since the heat is only in one spot.
Games are mostly medium settings, and play fine. I've played Sleeping Dogs and Battlefield 3 on this, with only heat being the limiting factor to marathons :cry:

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

There is a deepcool cooling pad with 4 fans. It's 1.7k and is really good. Keeps the laptop very cool and blows out cool air from the bottom aswell. It's a must buy for AMD laptops IMO.

Edit: Check out flipkart for that cooling pad. I'll post the link when I get home.

I have been facing severe heat issues with the g6 2005ax, manually upgraded to win8 pro, although the issue was there on win7 too.
Need for speed most wanted 2012 throws both the cpu/gpu in excess of 85c in under 5 minutes.
Installed coolsense, no gains.

Tried AMD overdrive to undervolt ang got meagre gains.

ANy pointers or solutions?

UPDATE:
MSI afterburner says gpu at 96c
Core_temp says all 4 cores near 100c

3minutes max of need for speed most wanted.

This particular laptop is not just heating, its trying to burn itself down.
Doing nothing but idling also sets the cpu to 65c with cpu usage hovering about 2-8%.

How do you guys fare with the haeting?
Simple multi-threaded winrar benchmark kicks it to 90 in about 20sec.

start coretemp
press win key+r
type winrar
press enter
press alt+B

look for the temp in coretemp

Ok. It does still seem to be a little hot. And i have no idea abt battery backup. I think it's the same as everyone else's. I only did the initial charge and discharge on the battery, and i didnt use it again. BTW the lap is also becoming cheaper quite quickly, it has 1k cashback on flipkart now. :shock:

4445S is definitely not aimed at power users. you can feel the slowness when you have multiple apps running and you throw another one. this one looks good but instead of a last gen processor and a slow discrete GPU, i feel 3rd gen i3 without any discrete GPU will help more. performance will be roughly equal to the integrated GPU on 4445S. and this one has GDDR5 graphics memory. not DDR5.

, sam can u show a link probook with 3rd gen i3 as you mentioned that will be much better, but sam my question was among this two laptops which is better only considering cpu performance. the 4445s is backed with three yrs warranty i guess whn 4431 with one yr as per flipkart listing. the guy just use cad drawings and browsing.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

if you want 14" aka light weight lappy, the former one. for 15", 4440S. battery backup should be more in 4440S as it lacks a discrete GPU.
And both carries 1yr warranty only.

performance wise 2nd as well as 3rd gen i3 are close. Considering i am using a hyper slow A6 dual core without much of a problem, you won't miss out anything with 2nd gen i3 still 3rd gen will be better.

90 during gaming session is fine but either buy a cooling pad or try to make room below the laptop. i last used 2005AX several months ago so can't remember if the intake slot is at the bottom or front. anyway just make sure there is sufficient space. and check if the fan speed can be changed using MSI after burner. will help.

Sam, then how will u install drivers for the integrated as well as discrete graphic cards?
Does the package contain same driver and installs for both the cards?
In intel+nvidia laptops, we had to install drivers seperately for intel and nvidia cards.. and optimus works flawlessly.
Here, for intel+amd ones.. the intel driver is embedded inside the package but in real terms, the amd driver takes control over it for switchable graphics to work.
So, i can't download the amd and intel drivers seperately.. then install and see if switchable is working like in optimus? 7670m btw

AMD catalyst drivers support both discrete as well as APU graphics. so single or dual works without any problem. in your case, remove all traces of catalyst & Intel driver and try leascat drivers. then switchable graphics should work (you may still have to force some games to run using AMD gpu)

Did u try unifl drivers before..? Can u tell me which leshcat driver to download?? And u have any idea when the next whql catalyst driver will release.?

nope. never. try the latest one (based on 13.3 beta). and looking at the rate at which AMD is forcing out beta only driver, nobody other than AMD employees can give a correct guess. in my desktop as well as laptop i am still using 13.1 stable driver.

1. G6 2314AX = 32990
2. G6 2313AX = 37990
difference is now 5k only for A10 and A8 and i wonder how this is justified. Buddy i am filling lot of pain in my heart.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Want to check something with the community before I take my 6 months old 2005ax to the service center.

Issue: On a clean install, 13.1 drivers, dual-mode disabled and low settings, I can't play even basic games for longer than 15 mins as it hibernates due to overheating (Error 90D). The game being Antichamber - a puzzle based mindf**ker - also happens with portal 1, forget about heavier games. The heat vents are not covered.

Survey: Those of you who can play games (some even Crysis 3

) for longer than that, please answer the following -
1. How old is your laptop?
2. Can you game long hours on low-med settings with/without cooling pads? The laptop intakes air from the side vents and expels from the bottom ones so can cooling pads really make a difference?
3. Has anyone facing the same issue got it fixed by servicing (cleaning/changing thermal paste)?
4. What's the temperature in your place/city. In mine it's hovering around 40°c but the same issue in 4°c last winter as well, so don't think that's important but just to know.

Thank you.

I couldn't get the unifl 13.1 whql driver with signed certificate to work, so after a hiatus i got back my stock driver to work. Does anyone know what amdkmdap is?? and why is it showing under video renderer options besides direct3d hal under graphic device for an old online game?

then you'll get 2314AX even more cheap. At 40k, i'll suggest going to 3rd gen i5 + 7670M. A10 is fast & dualGPU is future proof but i5 looks better at this price.

It's probably because your laptop display resolution is 768p and you're duplicating it.

i dont know how to check what pixelation is the video being streamed at.

Let me try putting it in a different way. lets say i downloaded a 1080p video on my laptop. if i am watching the video on my laptop screen. will the video play at 1080p or my laptop screen size of 768p?

it'll scale to maximum screen resolution i.e. 768p. if you duplicate it, tv/monitor too should display at 768p only. you can try using only 1 display (tv, laptop screen should turn off). that way you should get full hd video on tv.

^ as a Hp employee how much going to cost you ?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

HP employee thing is like bullshit. In general, he would give not more than Rs.500-800/- discount from the final price. It's only applicable on certain laptops and not for the best selling ones. Suppose they offer around 5k discount for the model they show.. it's actually a new coming model or should most probably be the new price tag for a laptop with the same specs of what u have chosen, after them convincing you with the large provided discount. And that is actually being discontinued since it's sales were pretty low .

They showed my friend a model with free-dos which is priced at 34k. Then they said if hp employee discount is applied it would be 29k for it.. and then gave him the laptop with same specs but with win 8. Actually that model is a revised new model from the old one that costed 34k, but has a refreshed price tag and nothing more... When that model was added to their website, anyone can buy it for 29k without actually performing the employee discount and even though they want to opt for it, won't be given.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

After much research i have finalised 3 laptops :

HP Pavilion G6-2314AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com Cost Rs.33074.

Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3 (3120M)/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB AMD Radeon™ HD 8750M Graphics). Cost Rs.34197.

In I5 series:
Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5 (3230M)/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB AMD Radeon™ HD 7670M Graphics Graph). cost Rs.39934.

Here i5 is costing me extra 6000 rs, with lesser graphics and less hard disk space is it worth it?

A comparision of the three is given in link : HP Pavilion G6-2314AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) vs Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph): Compare Computers: Flip

I am a moderate gamer and will use the laptop for multipurpose such as browsing, presentations etc. , hence i am more inclined towards 2nd option at present, What do you guys suggest? If you have any better suggestion than the three listed above within the budget of 42k, Please do suggest.

The i3 one will suffice your needs also its more future proof in gaming than 7670m considering the fact that cpu bottlenecks are rare in most games. Btw is that Samsung model available with i5 i mean i5+8750m+dos if yes that'd be the most tempting offer!

+1 for sammy, hd 8750m at 34k and that too for an i3 3rd gen laptop is a steal. I think that laptop is well-built only drawback being no usb 3.0 ports available.

A comparision of the three is given in link : HP Pavilion G6-2314AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) vs Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph): Compare Computers: Flip

I am a moderate gamer and will use the laptop for multipurpose such as browsing, presentations etc. , hence i am more inclined towards 2nd option at present, What do you guys suggest? If you have any better suggestion than the three listed above within the budget of 42k, Please do suggest.
Thanks in advance for your efforts..

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have been reading this thread with quite a long time and I fell in love with 2314ax. Finally, I ordered it on saturday and got it today. I installed windows 7. I'm really happy to have bought this laptop. But I'm having two problems:
1 no bluetooth driver
2 unable to open catalyst centre. It shows an error ' command line interface has stopped

Can anyone help me with the issue.

for all guys using hp amd laptops (G6 series) the best cooling pad to keep your laptop cool to some degree is the deepcool multicore x6. my advise use the pad upside down thereby using the big fans at the lower end.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I have a Samsung NP355V5C-S05IN with similar specs.. Now what's surprising is that it heats up like crazy.. As the A8 4500M operating temperature is100°C and after that it is considered overheating. My laptop idles at 105°C and on a cold start it is 96°C don't know what the problem is.. After gaming and stuff it goes to 140°C.. Never seen it go below 90degrees.. Tried changing drivers formating but no good will be taking it to the Service Center tomorrow.. It's not even a month old. Anyone knows what could be the problem? I don't think my thermal sensor is spoilt cause I do feel the hot air.

once my laptop showed 100 degree after playing games for 30min. i was shocked as the readings were showing 100, but actually it was lot less as the vents itself were mild hot. My guess is around 65-70. This was with coretemp. I already know HWMonitor shows some wrong info not CoreTemp. Or it can be that the sensor in the processor is damaged or passing wrong reading.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Even I use coretemp and it shows crazy readings...reaches 98 degree easily while gaming and the cooler isnt proving itself useful either as the vents are on the side. Scumbag laptop designers...

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

@sam can u help me little bit.
today i noticed 3 white pixels on my screen. two of them are bright and one of them is dim.
i looked up the hp dead pixel policy
**h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00288895
according to the hp

A full pixel defect is a bright white dot or very noticeable black dot on the display. No full pixel defects are allowed per HP's monitor specification.

i dont understand is this when i put a black background where the white dots i dont see the white dots but they are visible in other situation like watching movies and under a white background.is this a stuck pixel or a full pixel defect? is this qualifies for a replacement ?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

you can try to manually removing the stuck pixel. i don't know the exact procedure but swiping the display with a moist cloth or so. if it doesn't help call HP. Dead pixel is covered by all manufacturers AFAIK.

speccy, cpu wizard and hwmonitors are giving incorrect reading at the moment expecially with windows8. the core temp is correct and as per you screenshot you laptops temperature is 49C (CPU#0). you shouldn't be looking at tj max cause that is the max temp for shutdown.

:thumbup:
Thanks man.. Makes sense.. Finally a sigh of relief!
Second thing I wanted to ask is when I try to update the graphic card driver to 13.5beta 2 screen should blink and switch on again after installation is complete.. But in my case the screen first blinks and just goes off.. Have to force restart the machine then it works normally..
Is it cause there are Samsung optimized drivers and not direct ones from AMD..
Can you send me a screenshot of ur HP driver details..

exactly. with Windows 7, i was getting 60degree max but with Windows 8 it jumps to 80 (sometimes 90).

What is the WHQL build?
When I try to install 13.4 catalyst driver detection tool it says ur hardware is not compatible.. Visit Samsung for optimized drivers..

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hello guys, I need an opinion on 2302ax, preferably someone who has used it. I think its a decent lappy for 29k. The only thing that leaves me worried is A4 proccy. Before I get into further details, let me tell you what I want out of my laptop.
1. MS Excel
2. Movies, no HD n all that. Should be watchable w/o lag.
3. Games - limited to League Of Legends, WoW, D3 and Starcraft 2.
I currently have a C2D (1.8, I think its E4320), 2GB 533 RAM desktop, with a 6670 and except for starcraft 2, I play the rest of the games at 1080, maxed out, but with AA and similar settings at off. So I think, on 2302ax, at 778 res, things should be fine. I will be pursuing my masters for 2 years, so my game time would be limited anyway. I just want to know if A4 will really bottleneck my lappy, or it would handle the stuff just about right. I have a PS3 for other games, so as I said before, I'll be playing only these games. Looking forward to interesting insights. Cheers.

LOL. That's weird haha. Anyway I checked every laptop in the range of 30-40k and no laptop gives a SIGNIFICANT performance increase over 2302, with respect to my needs. I am not too sure about A4 and hence I need an opinion on it. Maybe someone here owns an A4 lappy or atleast have used it?

I have HP Probook 4445S with A6. A4 is basically low clocked A6 (similar to A8 being lower clocked A10). your first 2 requirements can be fulfilled even by some insanely slow and cheap laptop. as for games, most of the games you listed are CPU heavy if i remember the reviews correctly. because of the midrange graphics card, games will be playable at default resolution but i have a feeling the processor will hold back in some games not allowing you to max out.

If you dont mind trying outside ADM processors there is

Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3 (3120M)/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB AMD Radeon™ HD 8750M Graphics). Cost Rs.33,000.

Its has more advance processor and better graphic card compared to the rest and comes cheap as well, the only disadvantage is no 3.0 USB but it is not a big worry to me as i don't use any 3.0 Devices yet.

I just bought it on ebay @ Rs. 32,300 using ebay discount. its a option worth noting for your needs and in your budget.

^ You don't need to ask such a question bro. If you suffer from ANY problem during the warranty, contact HP service center guys and let them deal with it.

do a clean installation of Windows once without any HP garbage. check if there is any improvement and also remember to calibrate your battery if its not calibrated for more than a month.

I have HP Probook 4445S with A6. A4 is basically low clocked A6 (similar to A8 being lower clocked A10). your first 2 requirements can be fulfilled even by some insanely slow and cheap laptop. as for games, most of the games you listed are CPU heavy if i remember the reviews correctly. because of the midrange graphics card, games will be playable at default resolution but i have a feeling the processor will hold back in some games not allowing you to max out.

They aren't. I have a 1.8 GHz C2D, with 533 RAM and it handles them perfectly. Surely A4 with 1600 RAM do ATLEAST similar, that too at lower res. Anyway, how is your exp with A6? I reckon A4 will be only a lil slower than A6, but nothing noticable.

Samsung NP300E5V-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3 (3120M)/ 4GB/ 750GB/ DOS/ 1GB AMD Radeon™ HD 8750M Graphics). Cost Rs.33,000.

Its has more advance processor and better graphic card compared to the rest and comes cheap as well, the only disadvantage is no 3.0 USB but it is not a big worry to me as i don't use any 3.0 Devices yet.

I just bought it on ebay @ Rs. 32,300 using ebay discount. its a option worth noting for your needs and in your budget.

Hmm, interesting. This would have been a blind pick if not for Samsung. Are Samsung any good when it comes to laptops?

if with C2D you can play the games at 1080p resolution, A4 should allow to play at default resolution + high details level.

my laptop doesn't have any discrete GPU yet most games are playable at mid. but i don't play any of the strategy games you mentioned. playing games like Max Payne 3 or Borderlands 2 at mid.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hello all,
Planning to buy a laptop for Gaming, Movies, Entertainment etc.
I have a few questions to make.if got time then do answer these.
I haven't read all the 62 pages, will do that once I finalize.So just want a quick review.

1.Are these laptops i.e. G6 Trinity ones really worth the hype.I am talking about the life span and performance of them.
How much years can I expect??

2.Any other option in this range.I don't think so??

3.I have HP Pavilion G6-2314AX in my mind and in my budget.Now tell me what is the main difference between this one and G6-2313AX.
I mean is it really worthy of spending 4k more?? Any significant changes.Will I be able to run all the games on 2314AX??

4.What about the battery of both?

And whatever extra you may know.
Thnx

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Well I'm a user of g6-2005ax and I'm satisfied.
g6-2313ax has A10 processor which is clocked at 200mhz more than that of A8. So it offers slightly more processing power. If you're ok with 4k difference then go for A10.
Also A10 radeon 7660 onboard. A8 has 7640. So the crossfire combination will yield better results in A10 lappy.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hey guys, i bought my G6 2005ax last year.
Starting, it was pretty ok, for 6months... But starting this summer, it overheats like crazy. Games like Crysis 2 doesnt last more than 20-30mins as it overheats and shuts down!!
The Hp Coolsense app opens but all i see is a small white unclickable window, as if its hanged.
Moreover my battery doesnt even last 1 hour of Dota game over wifi.

Since its a budget laptop, i guess its not meant to function properly for more than 1yr. I bought this aftr recomendation from Digit forums, but i am quiet upset by its "Long-term" condition ..its like the laptop has surrendered. Maybe the Graphic card was too much for its cheap parts :'(

Can anyone help me with the temperature problem.?? Shall i open it with screws? Warranty period is gone since its over a yr old!
Why do all AMD laptops overheat ?? !! And its so noisy, while watching movies it will roar as if im playin high end games like Dishonored or Skyrim . Oh ya, the laptop hits 80° even while playing 10yr old games like Warcraft III.

Grandpa was right, cheap can never be good. Its like those Micromax Canvas phones, tempts u with its price and performance but aftr few months the true color comes out and becomes unusable.

People here praise the G6, cuz its brand new when they bought it...wait and let them use it for 12 -15 months, then see the complains and frustrations crop up..
My Dad's 4 yr old DELL Inspiron 14 laptop is expenisive and shitty by todays standards, and is too old for basic gaming, but approx 4 years running and it still serves him well. 2+ hr battery and never crashed( according to him). Price is always equally proportionate to Quality.

i think it is better to get the laptop serviced. applying a fresh coat of quality TIM (not the el-cheapo Rs.10 TIM locally available) will reduce the temperature to more manageable range.

wifi drains battery fast and over that you are playing Dota2. what more can you expect. also is the battery calibrated?

check the Lenovo Y300 & Samsung Series 5 thread. they are having same problem while costing 2 times more.

mikael_schiffer said:

first check guides on disassemble. and get yourself ready with some TIM. and check if there are proper holes on the back panel where fan is located. most overheating laptops have no more than a couple of holes.

mikael_schiffer said:

it looks more like a fan problem. noise + heat both points to a malfunctioning fan.

mikael_schiffer said:

because the GPU will still run at max clock. same for processor.

this is true. they are heavy and thick but build quality is still the best among consumer grade laptops. but also lack of dedicated GPU has its shares on keeping it cool and long battery life.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

hmmm....I guess this Particular laptops are loosing their fame now,
For me- the battery is giving not more than a 2 - 2:30 hours of backup from the very first day while it should be around 4 hours, while normal browsing and youtube, FB etc.....@ lowest clock rate and energy saving profile with WIFI on.

heat is not a problem for me anymore as HP have already replaced the thermal paste and once the cleaning is done....I can't say about the Intel Laptops but this particular one do not heats up dat bad. (2010AX)

Till now, WIFI adapter got replaced, Dolby speakers replacement done, Definitely HP lacks quality but I'd rate their service a 7/109 (-3 for not considering my battery backup problem), thks to HP but Im afraid what will happen when the warranty will get over, spending a extra 6K to extend warranty is just not done for me, also Im confused on how will I react when they will make me pay a 1000 Rs just for a visit and a huge chunk for repairs..........:3

Moral of the Story- Buy any freaking laptop in the market, whether cheap or expensive no matter what configuration/ features you want or whatever the company is, Laptops are fragile piece of equipment.........GET YOURSELF A THREE YEAR WARRANTY COVER as they are making cheap electronics components day by day and they are not that solid and robust as they were before....
GET YOURSELF A DAMN GOOD CHEAP ASS LONG LIFE PC FOR EXTREME GAMING.....ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE MY DESKTOP <3

Also, It will be very kind if someone post the links/pics of disassembling this particular laptops series

cause we all wanna clean it up after the warranty period will be over

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Guys I'm fu**ed.. In serious mess
I bought 2005ax less than 10months ago.
Was having problem with "plugged in, not charging". Customer Care seemed top notch and sent me a bios update. Called me 3days later and told me to update the bios and give feedback, so I, despite being a noobie tried to update the bios. After 80% of bios update, the laptop shut down suddenly(perhaps due to overheating, not sure). Since then, all I'm getting when turning on is a blank screen with fan rotating at full speed(maybe processor running too) and no other response. The LED on the power button and wifi button is ON and no other response. By no response, I mean nothing.. The fan is just running and the laptop is getting heated with blank screen, no keys responding, not even the power button. Only way to turn it off is to remove the battery.
So, i contacted the customer care again and reported the problem. The one giving assistance took his time and told me a mechanic is coming to replace my motherboard. Why motherboard? Everything was running perfectly just 2hrs ago, its my mess up with bios that screwed up. Anyway, m not sure if motherboard replacement can fix it and I really hope he can fix the problem anyhow cz I'm gonna be die of boredom if it doesnt get fixed soon. He is supposed to come in 3days. Any suggestions/knowledge/views regarding this will be very helpful.
Also, not being greedy, what are the terms of a complete replacement of a HP laptop in India? They should replace it if they cant fix it right? cz I havent misuse, or broken any rules, havent tweaked and abided by their suggestions.. I would gladly accept if my laptop is fixed though

motherboard's bios chip is gone. so they will replace the mobo rather than fix the bios chip. this has happened with some other member also and after motherboard replacement the laptop booted fine. AFAIK, laptops are usually not replaced though definitely possible.

if possible get yourself some quality TIM and ask the technician to apply a fresh coat on the processor to fix the heating problem at the same time.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

My brother's dv6 was replaced by another dv6 as some issue was remaining unsolved by hp.....Most probably it was data loss issue...Even after replacing every component, OS used to get erased within 2-3 days...HP also kept the laptop with them for a week, and then gave him a brand new laptop.
2.In my college, a dv4 model fell from the rooftop of a hostel, and it was in such a condition where only a RAM module survived.Under ADP, HP gave him a new m6 with similar configuration.
3.Dell also replaced my friends Inspiron 15R 5520 with Inspiron 5521...However we had to literally fight with dell over phone to get that done; they had once even suggested us to go to consumer court...
My point is that they do have provision for laptop replacement; Its easier with HP; If u face a similar issue repeatedly, you can ask them for a laptop replacement.

Wow man!!! Control your emotions. Even my lappy suffered overheating problem. It was just that the fan was clogged with dust. Try the take apart videos of g6 from youtube and clean the dust. Or better get it serviced. But yes there is one problem with this laptop that dust gets clogged too frequently.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I am charged 3500 by a crooked agent for mobo replacement who made it seem like the better deal cause HE SAID MOBO FAILURE WHILE UPDATING BIOS DOESNT FALL UNDER WARRANTY. I NEED TO CONFIRM IF ITS TRUE. 'I didnt plug in the AC adapter, so the bios chip failed'-Thats what he said to me. He told me he can replace the mobo but need to get it fixed by a frnd before returning so that the company dont figure out if bios was at fault there cz it doesnt come under warranty and he'll be charged. I paid him 1500 now and he will collect 2000rs 2days later. I need to know if I made a good (despite a crooked one) deal or he cheated me cz I'm gonna lodge a complaint then.
I mentioned the problem I faced abt 5posts earlier.
Reply needed urgently

@ mikael_schiffer
My brother's XPS is overheating after 20-30mins of crysis with cooler master L1 on. The i3 lappy's at this range bought a year ago are all experiencing too much lags in games like AC-3 while 2005ax runs it fine. So, I dont think blaming the long term performance of these supossedly "value for money" amd products is accurate, although after 10months of use, I'm starting to believe AMD does get heated more than Intel ones. and also a major problem in HP laptops I saw is the "plugged in not charging" one, which I'm seeing now in 3 of my frnd's HP(all intel) and in mine too.

also the charge capacity is less at 4400mah when it should be 4700mah. as this laptop is only sold by flipkart, better to call them up and ask them for a replacement (replacement of the entire laptop). but mind you, this won't be easy.

AFAIK, bios failures are covered by warranty. moreover your laptop has ADP, so this should be covered anyway. talk to HP's customer care first. and don't tell anything like you updated bios without AC power even if they ask for it. call HP care asap as according to my understanding bios failure is definitely covered by warranty. that hp technician is definitely trying to earn some quick cash.

moreover i also faced the AC connected not charging problem after updating bios in my probook. all i did was reset the BIOS and it went back to normal.

Turbo Boost depends on the number of threads being loaded on the CPU.

If only 1 thread in 1 module, then you'll get 2.8 Ghz. If 4 threads in 2 modules, then 2.3 Ghz.

if you ask for the laptop, only then they'll change the battery. as i said this won't be easy. talk to HP once. as 2010AX is not officially sold by HP here, need to be sure will HP play any role in replacement or whatever happens next.

also the charge capacity is less at 4400mah when it should be 4700mah. as this laptop is only sold by flipkart, better to call them up and ask them for a replacement (replacement of the entire laptop). but mind you, this won't be easy.

LOL, I think every one is getting confused now including flipkart guys and me......this is the snapshot of the battery (physically) View image: temp flipkart 2.......as you can see,the model is Mu06.... 47Wh and 4200mAh is separately mentioned while the software is reporting 4400mAh....lololol....wtf.....!

also this is MU06 brand new *www.flipkart.com/hp-mu06-6-cell-battery/p/itmd88xkjzudnqpg?pid=ACCD88U5DVJSKEZH&ref=16fb1c58-c30f-45c3-bda5-88e7dcc54134&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=MU06 ....and 6 cell is clearly mentioned here....while the HP authorized software is reporting only 4 cells with mine and that too one with 0mv....?????

damn. i checked mine and it too is showing 4400mah & 4 cells. maybe cells are not grouped in the usual manner.

cell 1 is 0mv in my case too. nothing wrong with your laptop.

I was partitioning my hard drive with aomei partition tool. It went into pre os mode to complete the process. But after that the laptop is not able to boot up. I think the recovery is also gone. I bought the laptop last week. Its hp g6 2301ax. It came with pre installed win8. What should i do?

if you have a WIndows 7/8 iso image then try installing it. i am not sure if this screen is from Windows 8 or HP's bios but looks like reinstall is the only way out.

I just called Flipkart, the representative was rude and he told me to talk HP for this, well I forced him to escalate the problem to the concern department anyway and he did......Im really worried on what will they decide, Possibilities are they will ignore me :3 .
and guys FLIPKART is a real time cheater, NO FLIPKARTING ANYMORE

Don't mind bro,but I hate to tell you that the fault is yours!!!You should have checked a manufacturers site for the info.I remember reading somewhere on Flipkart that information listed there is not bound to be 100% correct.
Just see any HP m6 product page on flipkart,they have tonnes of error like 65W adapter,etc....
Heck,even manufacturer's website sometimes have error.All dv6 6165tx owners will remember they had earlier written backlit keyboard on their site for the dv6.Later they rectified it. One TDF member had even bought a dv6 6155tx only to find that it didn't had as advertised!!
Its really unfortunate for the consumer,and its one of the disadvantages of living in India.Had this incident occured in USA,there would have been large cry for the same.

Flipkart is liable to pay only if manfacturer makes 6 cell and they have shipped you a four cell one..Still have a try...!!

You may also consider going the consumer forum way,where you'll have a strong case.Just have the snapshot of the site mentioning the 6 cell feature.

I am charged 3500 by a crooked agent for mobo replacement who made it seem like the better deal cause HE SAID MOBO FAILURE WHILE UPDATING BIOS DOESNT FALL UNDER WARRANTY. I NEED TO CONFIRM IF ITS TRUE. 'I didnt plug in the AC adapter, so the bios chip failed'-Thats what he said to me. He told me he can replace the mobo but need to get it fixed by a frnd before returning so that the company dont figure out if bios was at fault there cz it doesnt come under warranty and he'll be charged. I paid him 1500 now and he will collect 2000rs 2days later. I need to know if I made a good (despite a crooked one) deal or he cheated me cz I'm gonna lodge a complaint then.

@ mikael_schiffer
My brother's XPS is overheating after 20-30mins of crysis with cooler master L1 on. The i3 lappy's at this range bought a year ago are all experiencing too much lags in games like AC-3 while 2005ax runs it fine. So, I dont think blaming the long term performance of these supossedly "value for money" amd products is accurate, although after 10months of use, I'm starting to believe AMD does get heated more than Intel ones. and also a major problem in HP laptops I saw is the "plugged in not charging" one, which I'm seeing now in 3 of my frnd's HP(all intel) and in mine too.

@ sam
wish i read the 2nd part of ur post earlier.can you give me an ans to the question i mentioned in red in my last post?

Just tell HP customer care that your laptop is dead. Dont give them any freakin detail. Act as a noob.Tell them you used the lappy in the night but its not working in morning

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hello please clarify me if you can

Model:HP Pavilion g6 2010ax (6 months old only) @ flipkart
The graphic drivers on hp site are 2012-04-06 , Version:8.941.1.0, 222.96M
the date is of 2012,old version and bigger size

But i downloaded the latest version from here *www2.ati.com/DriverS/mobile/13-4_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe (135mb approx)

I noticed that it didnt picket up usb 3.0 drivers from that.I had to download additionally these AMD Chipset Drivers

Now my question is are the drivers from HP are optimised for my laptop??Or same as amd ones (leave version here).
Also the hp is not updating these drivers.

.Can there be any harm caused to GPU using drivers from amd official website

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Even mine aren't updated automatically and no, it won't harm your laptop or gpu in any way.

What is max CPU speed do you guys get from your A8 4500M?

Mine is 2.3ghz.

I tried to use AMD OverDrive and tried to enable turbo boost which gives up to 2.8ghz, but it does not work.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Mine too is 2.3GHz.. but doesn't matter to me cause it doesnt lag

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

you have to set the cpu speed range in Mobility Catalyst first.The speed range can be set for all the power profiles like power saver,balanced and high performance both on battery and AC power..from 1.4Ghz to 2.3 Ghz..

I have set CPU Speeds to max on High performance (ie 2.3GHz) in catalyst and i have seen the speeds hitting 2.8 during intensive CPU Tasks..

HP Pavilion G6 vs Lenovo Essential G505s

Are the new lenovo essential G505s better or worse than their equivalent HPs?
A10(8650G+8570M) :Lenovo Essential G505s (59-380146) Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2.5GB Graph)
A8 (8550G+8570M) :Lenovo Essential G505s (59-379862) Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2.5GB Graph)

According to notebookcheck(Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards), the 8650G is far better than everything including 8570M and 7670M :shock:

, but the 7670M is better than the 8570M. The 8550G seems insignificant. No benchmarks yet for those cards in crossfire. Plus the lenovo ones have next-gen CPUs and more RAM.
Flipkart exclusives too.

Guys, It's been a long time since I posted but I bought a hp g6-2201ax back in jan 2013....one month before the a10 released...the point is, I am trying to overclock the laptop, for boredom reasons (my brother nearly overclocked his brazos e-350)...so any advice on this front? my internet is actually horrible else i would search all 63 pages one by one...i have played almost all latest games...dmc, tomb raider etc...unfortunately not crysis 3 and far cry 3...i hear now that i could experience a little lag...hence the request...i have windows 8 btw...

Crysis 3:
Its better with crossfire or not?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 vs Lenovo Essential G505s

^ I dont think overclocking a lap and moreover a HP one is a good idea unless you can cool it really really well. Or not play heavy games.
Far Cry 3 works on my lap with HD7670M on medium with maybe some lag while driving quickly(or maybe i'm a real terrible driver). No noticeable lag while driving normally , so I should be a terrible driver

Havent tried Crysis 3.

Actually when you put it like that, I realise that my laptop already heats up a lot during even smaller games like Sniper Elite v2...the area actually almost causes boils to touch...So, overclocking is probably out of the question... :cry:

Does anybody have stats of Crysis 3 on this laptop in actual usage?? I am going to get it really soon and would be happy to know if I can play it at all....

Fix overheating problems

I used to have overheating problems and it used to hibernate after 10mins of gameplay. I cleaned the fan myself, reapplied the thermal paste and it is working fine now. You could go to a service center for this but that's not how we do things at thinkdigit, right? :wink:

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I read a few pages from the thread and saw a lot of negative comments, people facing many issues like BIOS failure, overheating, low battery life etc. Should I buy this laptop?
I am about to order G6-2312AX from Flipkart. I tried looking at various options and no laptop comes even close to this one at this price. But the negative reviews are really causing me to give a second thought.
Any other good options around 40k?

-------------------------------------------------

Kolkata's Chandni seems to have run out of good products. I had to enquire in 4-5 shops just to find a Class 10 Micro SD card.

And the laptops they are showing, i3s and DOS laptops are reaching 45k.

and this is how they talk:

Shopkeeper: core i5 3rd generation hai, 4 GB RAM hai aur 1GB graphics card hai
Me: Kaun sa graphics card hai?
Shopkeeper: 1GB
Me: Kaun sa model?
Shopkeeper: Radeon
Me: Model model, 7650, 7670
Shopkeeper: 8630 hai

Then he immediately lost interest in my buying needs and moved to another customer. I suppose I was too knowledgeable for his taste.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Got the Laptop (G6-2312AX) from Flipkart day before yesterday for 38604 with free logitech wireless mouse. Haven't used much yet, still in the process of installing programs and copying files from home PC.
The build quality seems solid though. And the weight is definitely less than a similar specced Sony VAIO. Looking good so far. I hate the glossy screen though. A little compromise for a decent config I guess.

That's real bad. You can't do it yourself coz it would void the warranty and they won't do it for you. So what's the use of a warranty!!

You can install ubuntu in two ways: the easy way, using wubi. It installs like any other software you do in windows and uses windows boot loader to dual boot.

The hard (not such) way, to boot from ubuntu bootable media and partitioning, and blah blah stuffs to install Ubuntu, and dual boot using GRUB boot loader.

Regarding crossfire, switchable graphics is still to see a support from AMD for linux. dGPU works by default, which you can disable to use iGPU.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Hello guys, its been nearly 2 weeks since my laptop suddenly suffered a strange and sudden HDD crash. Everything was going fine, my HP G62005ax was working so well and now suddenly each time I boot it says : unable to boot please insert disk , and after somehow it does boot. The biggest problem and the reason why I am creating this thread is that my laptop just keeps HANGING now and works VERY SLOW. After every few minutes it hangs, I don't exactly know if the there is a problem with the HDD or what the problem is exactly because I have reformatted my laptop with the factory settings like three times and each time this problem occurs and also when I used ScanDisk it showed no error.
And biggest problem is that my laptop is no more under warranty. Please help me to solve this extreme slow speed and this "unable to boot" error.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

your hard disk seems like dying or so.. its not easy to save them but u can install astra sys info and check condition of it.
May be u should buy a new hdd if the above line is claimed correct.

ASTRA32 - Advanced System Information Tool

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I used ASTRA32 and all I could figure out was that it said "HDD Health : Poor" . Now what should I do? Please tell me ways to repair this HDD, I don't want to shell out RS 4500 for giving it to HP.

@Shadow

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Definitely there's something wrong with your HDD. Poor doesn't mean that its bad.. the hangs might occur due to a slow processor also.. as was the case in my laptop, where it showed hdd health status as poor and with amd neo processor for an old laptop.. everything wasn't smooth.. adding the heat factor also to it.

As u said it occured all of a sudden due a crash.. and from the point that it cannot boot windows from start tells that there might be bad sectors created for your OS drive. I recommend you to download latest Hiren's Boot CD tools and run one or all of the HDD Diagnostic tests and let it clean or remove bad sectors from HDD. Having more bad sectors for a mechanical drive can continue to increase the risks of a HDD failure in the near future.

One shouldn't compare different architecture GPUs like that. If you compare 2 GPUs of same line up, then it's fine, otherwise not.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

It might be dust sometimes.. use a thin cloth and rub it against ur nail. Happened to me twice on two different laptops.. thought they were dead pixel and i used udpixel software to flash the dark spot . Atlast they were off when i cleaned the screen.
If it's really a white dead pixel return ur lappy for a new one.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

No, its not dust. Tried to clean it few times. Called hp customer care in the morning. There is a 15days replacement policy for brand new laptop and mine was not even 24hrs old. Call center girl told me to mail scanned copy of purchase invoice to india.kv@hp.com for purchase verification. Within 3-4 working days, they will replace this laptop with new one.

What all HDD diagnostic tools do u find in them. For me a couple of them didn't work.. and i couldn't help it.
First i tried MHDD 4.6 which didn't work.. then HDAT2 4.53 also didn't work i guess. I did the HDD regenerator which worked well.
I have slightly customized version of Hiren's bootcd. You may not have the same tools or could even have a few extras, depends on what download u have done. afaik MHDD n HDAT2 are advanced tools.

Any G6 users here have Ralink rt5390 wifi card? I have it in my g4 and its too slow. It drops connection occasionally and fluctuates a lot.
The signal strength keeps dropping to 2 or 1. The max i have seen it was at 3/5 and 54mbps speed according to my router.
All other devices in my home are working well and have fast internet but only my laptop has slow net. Sometimes pages can't even load and its worse for online gaming where ping rates and connection should be always steady.

If they have the same ralink card.. could u please post ur opinion on it and how good is the connection,signal strength and internet speed when wireless is turned on? According to me and most other views over the internet, this card is really bad and defective.
The 1T1R model on it and low power consumption mode are the major drawbacks for it.

OK, to determine if you have a bad HDD, how did you use your laptop?

How much did you download? I mean, did you keep it 24x7 on to download stuff?

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/22xx/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

I have a g6 2301ax, bought it on last February. Just now i upgraded the Ram modules with a 4 giga and a 2 giga (now using Samsung Dimms with same speed as old rams,before i used 2x2 Giga of Dimms from HP). The problem is, windows experience index for graphics is now ridiculously reduced some points.I had a wish about 7.2 points for memory actions while i upgrading the ram,but failed. I am running on latest bios and latest beta driver for VGA.
can anyone say the reason behind the change in windows experience index.

You can edit the wei scores by yourself if u want all to be 7.9 or 8 or wateva.

I see a more powerful card have 6.5 and mine's 6.8 and the scores keep changing for different laptops even though the component is identical in both. So u shouldn't care much about the score.

I own a G6 1301tx with Win 7...Earlier it used to show three to four access points.First the access point nearest to my room disappeared.Then today a farther access point disappeared and I'm left with no connectivity.
What I cannot understand is how WiFi access pointss can disappear on its own??
My DV6 and my Samsung S3 shows those networks and this issue is exclusive to my laptop.
I tried updating my drivers,uninstalling device from device manager,physically removing the module and resetting it,but it still did not solve the issue.

Hey guys, will increasing the RAM of HP G6 2005AX (last year model) improve gaming performance on the HD7640M+7670G Graphics? Somewhere i heard that the video memory is shared,and the graphic card is eating up the 4GB RAM(only 3.48GB usable,as shown in System info). Moreover my laptop has beco,e very slow, Chrome take almost 5 secs to open these days.
How easy is it to upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, should i let HP Service centre do it? Whats the cost? What variety or specs should i go for?

Secondly, which ports are 3.0 ports? there are 2 USB ports on the left and 1 USB port on the right next to power plug,which ones are 3.0 ?

Thirdly,Which Laptop cooler is most ideal since only the top left GPU area gets hot.And i mean very very hot.

May be time for a clean up, try jetclean/CCleaner. Do you have any AV ?? may be thats the reason of slowing
Upgrading is dead easy..
4GB stick costs around 2.5k I guess.

Ports on left are both 3.0 & right one is 2.0

None.

Seems like the correct driver you are using there, I have been using the 13.9 on my system and its working fine, no heating or fan noises, are you sure that its not working/is the driver properly installed, I would suggest using the amd system monitor application to verify the same, it can tell you if both the GPUs are working properly or not. Then if the problem persists, I would suggest to clean install the drivers.

any tried nfs rivals??
I got very low fps around 10-11 on e001ax, a10-5750m, 8670 1gb

have you read the reviews? game is not optimized well for PC H/W. Wait for patches.

N

getting much better any playable fps on bro's acer e1-571g i5-3230m, nvidia 710m 2gb, 4gb ram, win 7.

S

Ya, playing Rivals right now, I too was getting very low FPS, and a very high disk activity while playing. So uninstalled the game at first with rage.

But then I realized that my RAM frequency has droped to 1333MHz after recently I upgraded my BIOS from F.14 to F.26. I downloaded the older BIOS and reflashed it. Voila! ... the 1600MHz was restored and the system overall became much smoother. I then thought of giving the game another shot. Got a real improvement this time. Disk activity was very less and although the game was not always 30-40 fps(like for some moment the fps dropped to 10-15) still most of the time it managed to deliver a 28-30 fps.

You can find the frequency in the Task Manager to confirm and try this.

Have you tried the configure option in the playback devices tab, and check whether you have ticked the surround option. If so can you remove the option and try again.

^^RAM frequency is correct 1600MHz. Which laptop u have??

I have a HP G6 2005AX with win 8.1 Pro .. which BIOS do you have .. F.14 or any Bios above it.

see my CPUID-CPUZ validation banner for configuration
*valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/cf0arc-5.png

S

Here's a solution, It should work for you, but you would need to install a linux distro, any one, you can try with ubuntu (don't install it with wubi, but directly)

Once you have installed, you will find the recovery partition being showed up in the grub bootloader from where you can run it and recover.

There is a second solution but might not work.

Download the recovery manager software and install it.
remove the hpcd.sys from the recovery partition and the install folder and fire the recovery manager.
This method is not full proof and may not work

I suggest go with the first method and tell us if the same has been solved.

Have a Samsung NP355V5C-S0V5IN Im having trouble exporting AMD driver from SW update on Window 8.1 and when i try to directly install it I get an error.. Can anyone comment on it? I think generic AMD drivers don't go so well cause switching off integrated GPU is disabled in this model

S

Yes, you can download the older BIOS and downgrade it. Just be sure you download the correct bios ...

S

AFAIK, hp did some memory management tricks in the BIOS after f.14 that they claim for increasing the memory performance, but has really been causing high disk activity and poor performance of apps/games that use more than 1 GB of memory. People with win8/win8.1 are the ones who face these problems, though many don't realize like I didn't until I tried Rivals.

Anyways, just finished the career in Rivals,

Also you can try the new Beta Drivers from AMD, although I didn't find much difference, but some people did found it increasing performance, just don't install the Gaming Evolved app (it gets installed automatically if you go with express installation).

Tells me if that solves your problem.

And ya one more thing, I found that the NFS Rivals' FPS do drop down to 10-15ish at certain places in the game and the pattern is repeatable, no matter how I reach that place and when I reach that place, the FPS is bound to drop briefly like 3-4 secs and once I am out it would resume to 28-30 fps. The problem existed with a friend with Ci5/8670M, but didn't find in on Ci3/GT730.

May be a driver issue.

S

Seems like an installation problem, have you tried removing all the AMD Components and re-installing them, as WIn 8.1 does something fishy to the AMD drivers, I faced a similar issue when upgraded from Win 8 to Win8.1, everything seemed OK, but my games weren't running as smooth as they should have.

You can follow the guide available in amd driver website to know how to perform a clean install a AMD Driver.

And you cannot disable integrated GPU at any cost because the laptop screen is plugged into this GPU, the discrete one is the one that is used on demand.

Your system sees the integrated GPU as Primary adapter and Discrete one as Linked adapter. Although you can always disable the AMD Dual Graphics and use switchable graphics to switch the apps to dedicated GPU.

Corsair Value DDR3 4GB Laptop RAM (4GB Laptop 1600 MHZ. using any lower speed ram will downclock the other stick.

for HDD, i have a My Passport 500GB. still working fine after numerous bumps. avoid HDD that have some propitiatory connector (seagate, maybe transcend too).

thanx again #Sam n why the prices of RAm has gone so high?

I have been facing severe heat issues with the g6 2005ax, manually upgraded to win8 pro, although the issue was there on win7 too.
Need for speed most wanted 2012 throws both the cpu/gpu in excess of 85c in under 5 minutes.
Installed coolsense, no gains.

Tried AMD overdrive to undervolt ang got meagre gains.

ANy pointers or solutions?

MSI afterburner says gpu at 96c

re-apply the thermal paste very carefully and clean up the vents by blowing using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air. right now you can try blowing the vents with you mouth. but change the thermal paste and you will be fine. use cooler master extreme fusion x1. get it from shopclues. i had it on my dv6. the results were phenomenal. now after a year the load temps are near 80. idle at 46.

Guys I need links to update drivers of HP Pavilion g6 2005 ax. so need the links for it
I havent updated any driver, and I mean any, since purchasing about 18months ago. Havent formatted even once or even partitioned the HDD
Recently I'm having severe overheating problems. i see many are facing the same. Just 3months ago it used to run even FIFA for 3hrs. Now I cant even play a game without the lappy shutting down by overheating. I cant even watch a 5gb publicHD print movie for 90mins without the fan making a lot of noise and then shutting down by overheating. It even gets overheated sometimes while surfing internet, while charging..
I only cleaned the laptop once, about 10months ago.. so what are the steps that i should take? would it help giving it to the service center for cleaning and refitting?

I just contacted a reputed laptop service center in Kolkata (*www.laptopservicecenter.pro/)
They will clean the ducts and parts, apply thermal paste and refit the parts.. will charge around Rs. 1500. and a local one will do it for rs. 500, although m not sure of there work but I'll be present in both cases.
Should I go for it?

For updating, just use SLIMDRIVERS, its a software that detects every hardware devices and automatically updates them. Im using it as of now.
As for the laptop maintenence, wow, Rs1500 ?? Geezliweez these computer wallah are reaching Lawyer level of day light robbery.

Question-If you are trapped in a jail cell with a Lawyer , Tiger and a Lion with just 2 bullets, who do you shoot.
Answer- Look outside the window,look for a computer-walla and shoot him twice
Always get your laptop maintenance done from the authorized service center. I got mine from HP Service Centre, for FREE .They even re installed Windows and created a backup disc for me.

ohh sorry i forgot that i had posted here lol.. after that my lappy was in a bad condition..

my warranty is about to expire and i can get replaced anything till then

is it a good idea to replace the screen if it is working fine ? the new screen won't have scratches , i heard that they don't use Refurbished screens ,they use new ones, so that would prolong the life of my display or you can say chances of display going dead when it is out of warranty will be minimized....

My motherboard was replaced recently

I'd say don't get it changed if you're satisfied of the current panel as sometimes changed panels come of inferior display quality.

guys my left hinge had got broken ( near the fan ) .. and gets open when i open the lid.. the part where the screw goes into the plastic and the holder both have come off.. i never handled it carelessly .. due to this my Display wire had gotten cut due to coming in contact with sharp plastic when opening and closing of lid ..

though i got that replaced .. but the technician said to replace the whole chassis both lower and upper parts .. this would cost around total 5-6k .. which is too much for a piece of plastic

till then he has told me to not close the lid at all .. its ok for me as i use it as a desktop .. any solution ? getting hinges broken looks like a common problem.. i will be out of warranty by june

also second thing is this laptop overclockable ? say to the levels of A10 Trinity around 2.5ghz ?after clearing the dust out i am amazed how cool it is running, almost like new

before that i was accustomed to Shut downs due to overheating when gaming...

If the part is physically broken it is covered in Accidental damage protection ..

ADP is only for 1st year.. after that the warranty covers only Hardware defects..

even though it is company's fault that they have used such bad plastic ..

i am in extended warranty and that does not cover ADP

Don't worry, get it fixed from a local repair shop. They'll do at 1/10 cost of it.

These companies just blatantly loot customers when it comes to ASS.

in my case both the upper and lower parts needs to be replaced.. as both of the screw holders were damaged
hp was quoting 4000 for the lower back panel alone.. and i guess they wont charge less than 3k for the upper

i managed to use it for 2 months without closing the lid.. but i had to take the laptop somewhere so closed it once.. and when i opened it up it was scary to look at as the whole power button was coming off powering it on and off automatically at various positions and i thought it might effect the motherboard..

i told that guy to arrange parts ( by an jugad if possible )

he is taking 2500 and going to replace both upper and lower parts.. since this is going out of warranty , i don't want to take any chances at all so it is better to pay 2500 now and at least this laptop will serve me another 2 years ..

4k for the back panel??? Damn!!! The back panel is available online at 1500 bucks.

They are. For instance there was a laptop by MSI that did pair an A10 proccesor with HD7970M

D

Ohk. But i'm talking about the less high end cards. Like a 7670M.

DVJex said:

Yes for instance G6-2005AX types. Can't exactly say if the trouble is in dual GFX setup or CPU but very often I feel that i3+7670m is better than A8-4500M+7670M

D

Ohk. It is probably with the CPU. The extra processor speed must help.

CPU bottleneck is more pronounced in the low end. Games like Crysis 3, Watch_Dogs tend are susceptible to CPU bottleneck.

Hello i have a HP Pavilion G6 2010ax....I want a help from all g6 2005, g6 2314 ax users....What is the temperature of your hdd when you put your laptop under full load like gaming and using it.

Mine reaches to 50 degree.

I tested using crystal disk mark..but the hdd which i am using shows operating temperature 0-60 degree is ok.

So please tell me yours temp

Mine goes around like 46-48

Once it also reached to 55

...My HDD is new.Its hitachi.I have formatted windows also fresh install.I asked Hitachi they said they will send a refurb hdd in replace :-(

.

is their anything i can do to keep it cool

Nothing to worry about.
Velociraptors easily go to 60.

BTW the summer screws up with temperatures very bad.
right now my CPU is at 65 as I'm simply browsing & torrenting whereas in winters for same temperatures are around 24-27 so you see how it goes.

The G6 series is notorious for poor heat dissipation... It's also plagued by thermal shutdown issues... Since, this all are due to the poor build of the laptop, the only thing you can do is clean and repaste the laptop regularly... Like every month or so...
Also, the thermal paste layer may have been put too thick!!!

i think its the problem that we can't use 7670m alone.. it always runs in 7670m + 7640g .. crossfire is well known for having problems with stuttering unsupported games .. so theoretically a game could be running at 60 fps but due to micro stuterring it may seem sluggish and slowish..

but it works great and is really useful when the game is optimized

if we can run 7670m alone then i think you won't find any difference between A8 4500m + 7670m and i3 + 7670m

can you run the hwinfo64 and report what is your CPU temperature ? thanks

yeah that's the problem with Hp amd laptops but my laptop has been recently serviced and is running very cool as well.. earlier i thought that the Temperature Sensor must be faulty or something for reporting wrong temperature but googling about it i found out 1 reply that stated there is a problem in Hwinfo64 so just wanted to confirm is it the problem with everyone ? then i can ignore the temps reported by hwinfo64 and speccy

Check if you can disable it. The drivers i installed initially(12 or 13 something) allowed me to disable crossfire, but the later ones for some reason didnt.

if you disable crossfire it will shift back to 7640g the igp which is less powerful than 7670m..
the choice is between

7640g
or
7640g + 7670m

no option to use 7670m alone
