E6410 Owner's Thread

Can someone please check whether the fingerprint reader is usable with Windows 7's Biometric Framework (i.e. if it shows up under the Biometric Devices), or if it still is as useless as the one on the E6400?

Thanks in advance.

 

Control Panel -> System -> Hardware, click on Device Manager and then right click on your monitor. Unter the tab Details choose from the list Hardware ID, there it stands.

 

Do you know how to get the monitor's INF file. I was excited to get my new laptop so i formatted it right away.

 

Unfortunately not. But there is a tutorial by microsoft.
How to Use an INF to Override the Monitor EDID
I hope it is the right one.

 

some new info: when plugged in turbo is always on under load which means that even when running 4 threads @ 100% load using world community grid the cpu stays at 2.93; same goes to prime64 or the OCCT stress tool
with 90% load it goes up to 3.06ghz and running max. 3 threads allow a max turbo of 3.33ghz

once you drop the load it jumps back to 1330 mhz in idle

 

isn't that configurable? thrugh whatever replaced Quickset? Or in energy profiles? Or through an Intel Driver?

 

Are there any CPU whining issues with the Latitude 6410/iCore? I own a E6500 P8700 using a Intel SSD and I am pretty annoyed by the whining of the P8700 when sitting in the library....would be great to get some impressions of E6410 owners.

 

I was worried too, because nearly every laptop I ever owned had this whining problem. With the E6410 it is surprisingly okay: When the CPU gets clocked down to idle in power saving mode there is a really minimal whining noise, but you literally have to put your ear on the keyboard to hear it. I guess a person who doesn't know what CPU whine means wouldn't even notice it.

 

It's the power management of the CPU on the motherboard, (it follows Intel specification, which no one has a choice for licensing reasons).
It affects all Intel CPU's starting from the first gen Intel Core 2 Duo's.
There is no fix. Intel comment was they don't hear the problem.
The work around is to have something that uses the CPU, or turn on your bluetooth card, which either consumes more battery. There are no fix to the problem that any OEM can do. AMD powered system don't have the problem.

 

Thanks for sharing!

I know that all Intel Core (2)'s can be affected by that issue. However, the processor and chipset design has changed with the introduction of the iCore series. Therefore, there might have been some modifications concerning the power management design as well.

Any other impressions so far?
