Hiya, sorry i'm late sir! 

 

I bought my 6440 for a very good price a couple years ago but haven't used it much. I've had a tidyup, my desktop is having a holiday and the Dell is my daily driver now. I have RAID SATA (Stripe) via the mini slot and 2.5" drives with very good results. The i7-2712MQ was also working well. 

Since Haswell are cheap and available, I got an i7 4900MQ. The results are as predicted in post 1, many pages and years above! i.e. the same.

 

95W PSU does not have enough oomph for full power but 135W allows 37W TDP. I think this may be the source of some of the issues in the most recent posts.

 

Geekbench 5 results (both CPUs identical)

Single core 826

Multicore 2602. 

 

CPUZ Bench stress sees steady 3.9G on all cores and lots of heat! The 95W PSU throttle around 20W, 70% Utilisation and around 2G on clock speed.

 

Hoping to get the pics up soon.... when I'm out of probabation.

 

I'm struggling to get passed 20-25W with my 4310M. I have tried everything. I wonder if it's my battery? I have tried 90w and 130w power adapters. No change. Can you share your battery part numbers? I just bought an i7-4900MQ as they're very cheap these days.
