Diliz Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi all, i got a question, maybe stupid, but can we disable the integrated graphics of the intel i7 3630qm by the bios? For using only the gtx675mx on linux or mac for exemple Thanks for answering and/or reading! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Disabling Optimus can only be done by flashing a new BIOS, AFAIK. A little googling showed that Linux has support for it via the official driver and Bumblebee, while OSX supposedly has support built-in.

Prostar Computer Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Inherently: no. Very few system BIOS setup utilities include an option to disable switchable graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonicus Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What if we want to yank the Nvidia card out and just use the Intel HD4000? Is there a way to keep the cooling fan from running at 100% speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonicus Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Anybody know? It seems like a shame to retire this laptop to the junk pile because the fan won't operate at normal speeds. Anyone want to buy a GT70 with a fried GTX 675M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
