Just wondering if anyone here has tried it or does it?
I was thinking about how I could up my PPD and happened to glance over at my laptop. I bought it at the end of last year for school and its a pretty decent setup. Its a HP dv5t with a P8400/9600m GT/3gig of memory.
First I tried the 9600m GT to see what it would produce. It was only giving me around 800PPD but the temperature was 83 degrees. I didn't think it would be a good idea to have that going 24/7 so I loaded up notfred. According to fahspy I should be getting ~1800PPD which is a nice boost. CPU temps are still a problem though. 74 degrees is a bit higher then I would like.
I'm currently working on undervolting the CPU to get the temperatures a bit better. Stock was voltage 1.1375 and right now I'm down to 1.0750. I should have done a check to see what orthos would give me for a max temperature but right now its down to 68-70 degrees nearly 25 minutes in. I'm hoping I can get it down to at least 65 degrees and stable.
How bad is this for the laptop? I already took the battery out to avoid killing it from being plugged in 24/7. Do you think it will cause any serious damage having a laptop running with this much stress?
