Repacing the CPU in my DV6 6B10TX

I need to replace the CPU in my laptop. I however cannot afford to buy the original i7-2670qm that is it's factory chip. I just wanted to know what other CPUs it supports so I can find a cheaper, inferior CPU to get it going again. My partner only uses it for spreadsheets and word processing for her job so the 2670qm is overpowered for these tasks anyway.
Cheers for the help

HP Pavilion dv6-6b10tx two of the usb ports are not working

I have recently bought a HP Pavilion dv6-6b10tx....and had it fixed by hp for a problem with the beeping noise.
After sending my laptop for repairs( replacing the system board), I received my laptop but two of my usb ports are not functioning...
I did a bios update and did the hp update to see if it actually fix anything but not luck. So I went device manager and found a exclamation mark on the renesas electronics usb 3.0 host controller with a device status 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. What do i do??

The question is why is the port not working? Is something in the port that you can see? If not, then there isn't much you can do but take the computer in to the genius bar and have the techs see if it is a circuit problem that can be fixed.

Upgrading the CPU in my HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC

Hey there,
I am looking to upgrade my seemingly weak CPU so that my laptops performance may be noticeably improved, for things such as gaming. I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC, running a Windows 7 64-bit Operating System.
This is my current CPU:
Quad-Core AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 1600 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
If you require any more information about my laptop in order to help me, please ask and I will be happy to provide.
Please note that I do not want to have to upgrade any other components of my laptop, such as the motherboard, in case the CPU requires stronger/more powerful support, as money is a limitation. The cheaper the better, as long as the performance will be improved noticeably. Thank you.

Hello TooQuix,
I understand you want to upgrade your CPU is the correct? I will try and provide you the information that you need.
This document will provide you a list of processors available for this unit. Now because you have AMD installed originally, and you're using the same motherboard you will have to continue to use AMD.
If you turn to page 85 there is a list of processors, the part numbers are there as well to help your search. Also, if you plan on doing the work on your own the instructions on how to replace the processor is shown there as well.
I hope this helps.
If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
as for after effects it uses RAM for holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

How do I keep a Window resize from holding the CPU and temporaily interrupting the Labview application?

I am performing a data aquisition in one VI at 10000 Samples per second, then averaging 100 samples every 10 msec. This runs in a loop and I monitor the time of the loop. Another VI pulls the single point result of each 10 msec average and plots it to a graph.
If another window on the Windows XP operating system is re-sized the LabVIEW VI performing the Acquisition suspends until the resizing is complete and I can watch the loop time go from 10 msec to whatever time the other window is being manipulated (100, 200 300 msec...). The resulting graphical display will then show the next averaged plot point (this is a point to point drawing) without any of the 'real' analog activity that occurred during these +10 msec interruptions (the dataq VI pulls more than 100 samples to perform the averaging).
Does anyone know how I can prevent the resizing from taking such a high priority on the CPU? For various reasons I do not want to change my data acquisition scheme.

chrisger says: "if you want to pass data without loss you should use a method that allows buffering of data, e.g. queues. Take a look at the LV documentation (there are several solutions, but a named queue is the easiest way to go for such sort of applications)."
Actually, one VI is running as the executable and the other is called dynamically. The Dynamic VI uses a queuing vi common to both to access the data. This part works well, it is the interrupt of the main vi perfoming the data aquisition that is the problem.
Because I am not using the full buffer of data, but only whatever portion is acquired and then averaged, the graphing vi essentially gets two (software timed) points and draws between them.
I realize software timing is bad, but I am kinda stuck with this scheme. So, I want to minimize the interruption when a non-related window is re-sized.

Itunes Using like 90% of the CPU

When importing songs from CD, I am noticing that I am no longer able to listen to songs while importing without very choppy audio. Also, though I have a 3 Ghz processor, Itunes is using like 70-90% of the CPU when importing CDs. This has never happened before, with previous versions of ITunes. It started happening right after an install of ITunes 6. I had previously had five and four, which both worked fine. Here's what CD Diagnostics had to say:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
GATEWAY 831GM
iTunes 6.0.1.3
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2
LowerFilters: Cdr4_xp (7.1.0.188), PxHelp20 (2.0.0.0),
UpperFilters: Cdralw2k (7.1.0.188), GEARAspiWDM (2.0.4.3),
Video Driver: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family\Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Controller
Found aspi32 running.
Any Ideas as to what the Problem could be?
Peace,
MDMc.

Well, I've discovered the Secret to Importing Using ITunes for Windows!
You just use media player to import, and then add that folder to your library!
No, seriously though, this is a real problem. I've tried everything from using only one of the CPUs, to actually disabling HyperThreading in the BIOS, to setting the priority to low, to RealTime, etc.
I did find out that there was a driver update to the M-Audio Hardware I was using, and was hoping that would solve the issue, as someone had suggested, but no avail.
Like I said, it occurred right after I upgraded to ITunes 6, and I had had no problems like this with four or five.
I followed the windows help file, I followed the Apple Help files on a few issues, and none of them solved the problem. Someone please let me know if an update becomes available.
Peace,
Matthew.

What is Apple's stand regarding OWC offering to exchange the CPU in a new MacPro 2013?

I thought to have already put this question here a short time ago.
However I cannot find it for reasons I do not understand.
Therefore here a second try.
Since a couple of days OWC is offering to swap the CPU of a new ("End 2013") Mac Pro.
They pretend their CPUs are more powerful and less expensive.
They quote the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" which in the USA states that a manufacturer cannot force his customers to use only the replacement parts he sells.
In their view therefore Apple could not legally void the 1 year limited coverage or the 3 year Apple Care coverage because a third party (OWC) modifies a Mac Pro.
On the other side the only "user replaceable" part in a new MacPro End 2013 according to Apple and mentioned as such in their owners manual is RAM.
While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
Therefore, either Apple approves and agrees with the changes OWC makes to their new MacPros, in which case the customer will continue to enjoy full Apple support to the so modified machine, or such a step isn't at all done with Apple's blessing and voids every coverage by Apple.
I am therefore waiting for a urgently needed clarification of this matter by Apple.
If any such third part modification of an Apple product voids all commitments of Apple to the owner of that piece of equipment, people should be warned in time before taking any risk of that kind.
However until now I find no statement whatsoever coming from Apple, either approving such measures or disapproving them entirely.
Strangely OWC pretends to deliver by themselves full coverage to a modified computer and not only regarding the CPU they exchanged but the ENTIRE MacPro!
Should that be true, then why mention the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" to prove that Apple CANNOT legally refuse coverage to a computer they modify?
The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
I believe that a clear statement of Apple regarding this matter should be made and the sooner the better!

Apple has not made any public statement that I've seen, and won't do so here, these being user-to-user support forums.
While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
That would correct. The technicians may be certified by Apple for doing Mac repairs, but the technicians will not be Apple employees.
The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
OWC is not using any Apple-provided parts. They are getting processors from other suppliers.
The normal legal stance, at least in the US, is that a manufacturer cannot refuse warranty service due to a third-party or user modification unless that modification can be shown to have led to the problem. So whether Apple would refuse or accept warranty on a modified Mac Pro would depend entirely on what the problem is, but this is what OWC is referring to.
I very much doubt that Apple will make any statement on the issue other than to direct the user to the official warranty statement. For the US, see:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html
but if they do choose to make a statement, it will not be here in these forums.

Do I have to reinstall the system again after changing the CPU ?

Hi !
Today I replaced the old CPU P3 650 copermine @ 866 mhz with the P3 1000mhz.
The bus is on 133mhz.
I am not sure from where the problem is rising, but i am sure that before the change I was not having this problem. Now when I listening to the music , in time to time I experience some skipping or freezing in sound (very quickly) like when you are running out of memory or when u opening a lot of programs and the cpu loads 100%...something like that and this affect the sound.
Does anyone know if when changing the cpu, its better to reinstall the system again ? Is it neccesary ?
Thanks

The heatsing on this cpu in foxon.It is a passive heatsing. The working temperature is about 43 degrees celzius. Quite normal. the cpu is not overclocked.
I tryed to lower the bus speed from 133 to 126mhz and then I dont have thoose problems. Really weird, because with P3 650 overclocked to 866 / 133 host bus with a golden orb heatsing I had quite the same temperatures without problems. I tryed also to raise host bus to 135 mhz , but then this problems comes again. So now I am running a P3 1000mhz @ 950mhz on 126mhz bus speed. Seems that I dont have much choises. if I want to use 1ghz cpu on my mobo , i had to down a little bit a bus speed from 133mhz/33mhz (pci) to 126 mhz/31mhz (pci).
Can enyone tell me... what do you think : which configuration was faster:
1. P650/100 mhz Oc to 866mhz/133mhz - pci 33mhz
2. P 1000mhz/133 mhz adjusted to 945mhz/126mhz bus speed - pci 31mhz
Thanks for your replies.
I dont know how many it counts the pci frequqency. this frequancy is adjusted itself and I cant change it.
The PSU in a 450w newer one. Some strange sounds comes out of it. Also when it was brand new. I replaced it with the same one , but it is the same.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba Notebook?

Many customers would like to upgrade/replace the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and/or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in their mobile systems to gain performance.
Toshiba does not support or recommend performing modifications on their mobile systems since the core components in these mobile systems are not upgradeable like in a desktop system.
More Info: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Hi there,
I think what John meant to say is: it is not possible because it´s too expensive and you won´t gain some really big speed. I don´t know where you read something, but I think if you were a toshiba technician and would be familiar with electronics and the machines or especially with your machine than you won´t have a problem to exchange it.
I already tried to perform such exchange on my Satellite P20 some months ago. I can truly tell you: it didn´t bring me really some speed or performance. You will gain more performance by upgrading your RAM or your harddisk, but not with exchanging your CPU.
And it doesn´t matter which machine do you have regardless if you own a Satellite, Satellite Pro or a Tecra. The result is the same because the models have all the same componentes (but not similar hardware :) )

Can I charge my iphone4s in the cpu with the usb cable?

I've been trying to charge my phone at my work with the USB cable and the cpu but I can't. are there any settings on this since when ever I get home and charge my phone there is no other problems.

Why don't you contact your IT department?

It has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware.

it has been only about a month that i bought my macbook pro 15 but it is heating up really fast on the left side even when the cpu usage is only 10%...i'm worried if this is a problem of the hardware?

The way something "feels" is very subjective. We would need to know your actual temps. You can install the free iStat Pro widget which is available as a download directly from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
Let us know what CPU temps you're seeing at the time you feel your machine is hot. As you indicated your CPU usage was only 10%, that would imply that you already know that heavy CPU usage would be one cause for your machine to be running on the warm side... but that doesn't seem to be the cause here.

Is it possible to make an upgrade on the CPU ?

As the new iMac is using the same type of CPU of intel PC, can I brought a higher clock speed CPU and replace it after my warranty is passed ?

Since the CPU in the iMac Core Duo isn't soldered onto the logic board you might be able to do it in the future. No idea about what type or how much faster a CPU you might be able to install since the iMac has a cooling system designed for the 1.83 or 2.0 Core Duo. Will be very interesting to see what is possible.

How do I measure the CPU/GPU split of load/usage in Java3D?

Hello,
Is it possible to measure the split between graphics and CPU usage to find out how much work each is doing, what work is done, and which is doing the most work, for example? If so, how can this be implemented in the Java3D code?
For example, on a particular system, measure whether the GPU is doing the most work, or the CPU.
Thanks for your help :)

In Linux, you can read /proc/uptime. It does NOT give you the load averages that the command uptime gives. It gives you numerically the amount of time the CPU was idle vs how much time it was spent doing something. You need to read these two floating point numbers one every second, or once every 5 or 10 seconds then do the delta on the change: The maths are as follows:
Read the file in twice in 5 seconds, parse into two floats/doubles:
double[] last; // the first read of the file
double[] rect; // the latest read of the file
double ld = last[1] - last[0];
double rd = rect[1] - rect[0];
double cpu = (1.0d-(rd/ld)) * 100.0d;This should print the CPU percentage in Linux for that given time frame (5 second updates).

What is the CPU usage of X and cpu temp on your Arch?

I just installed the new arch 2009 02. Everything seems to be perfectly out of box, I have lxde DE.
But I noticed that in idle X is using around 2~3% cpu compared to below 1% in the old Arch I had before. It seems there is a little lag in the desktop experience, not obvious though, but not as responsive as my old Arch. Also the cpu temperature under lm_sensors gives me 43 constantly compared to 39 in my old Arch?! This is not some random sample of temperature, I constantly monitored it to realize it indeed runs hotter.
Also, when I open one mplayer, it uses 40% cpu + 20% for X. If I open 2 mplayer, fan will go noisy and cpu hit full and both videos become choppy! This never happened in my old Arch. I search the forum for quite a while, but have not found exactly the reason.
Some help or information? Greatly appreciate it.:D
My Hardware:
Shuttle XPC sn68sg2
Athlon x2 5200+ 2.7Ghz
Corsior 2G Ram
Asus Nvidia Geforce 7600GS
WD 250G x2

Hmm interesting. How old was the "old arch" you are talking about?
Because if it was quite a while ago that you ran Arch and recorded those temperature readings, I might wonder if your hardware is aging or dust is gathering inside your computer case, decreasing air flow and increasing temperature.
My laptop also runs almost constantly around 43 degrees and about the same at X idle. This seems normal to me though.
