Hello everyone.

I just registered to ask: my e6430 has i5 3320m, nvs 5200 and a 130w charger. The processor idles or is usually working at 55-60 C temperatures. If i upgrade to i7 3740qm would there be heating problems and is the heat sink the same for all the configurations of the model? 

 

Thank you very much!

 

I did just like you want. Yes you'll have overheating problem if you have one thermal tube, but you have two of it, so I think everything will be ok. Just use good quality thermal paste like MX4 and you can driill holes at the bottom case of laptop for more air (bottom case is from metal). And you can combine two copper two with little square pieces of copper (you can find on Ali) and thermal glue. I really want experiment with liquid metall, it's hard to find and cost more expensive than thermal paste.

I have found out, that you can't connect videocard with video buffer bigger than 4 GB, because max TOLUD is 4 gb using uefi variable 0x1E5 value 0xF (4gb) is max. I have tried with r9 390 8gb and I can use it only without iGPU, with it I have error12.

Is it possible to undervolt it?
