E6520 Owner's Thread

Intel QM67
Port 0 and 1 = SATA-III
Port 2, 3, 4, 5 = SATA-II

I suspect only port 0 is used for SATA-III in the E6520 since there is only one internal HDD bay. However, all the other ports should still offer up to full SATA-II speeds.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

 

Hrrrm... here's another entry into the mini-PCIe SSD from Innodisk. I know nothing about it, however it does indicate an embedded controller and explicitly states that it uses mini-PCIe, not mSATA.....

 

Nice Find

Nima2001 : Read back a few pages ( less than 10 i assure you ). I posted how I overclocked my GPU. Your results may vary.

 

Port 0 is the hdd bay; port 1 is the optical bay. You can confirm this in BIOS.

 

Scott, the ODD port is also Sata III, connecting a sata 3 drive using a bay gives you also sata 3 speeds.

 

About the CPU upgrade.
Someone here wrote, that when you change your CPU, you could have problems with not enough cooling. Some models with not the most powerfull CPU could have only one heat pipe. So, for the info, i have a i5-2520M CPU and a dedicated NVS4200M and i have two heat pipes and radiators.
Actually, the can be seen through the vent holes on the bottom of the laptop. Not very good, but if you know, how the single- and double- heat pipe mod looks like, you can distinguish them.

 

Hi... Will do.. thank you

Anyone know if the quadcore processor can have 16GB of ram 1600mhz?
someone pasted a link to intel site but was very unclear there and hard to find cpu model.

Also Im wondering if any of the dockingstations can enable 2 external screens on fullHD resolution.. ?

 

Very nice

Scott

 

Scott_RC-TEK told once, that he tried 1600mhz and 16Gb also and it worked. According to this info
Intel® Core? i7-2760QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz)

The i7-2760QM can handle up to
32 GB DDR3-1066/1333/1600 Memory
