M6600 Owners Thread

I have nvidia and i needed to turn on the the intel graphics feature in BIOS, maybe FirePro requires same

 

can anyone with the 8900m replicate?

 

I set mine at 850/1100 and it reads from both Sapphire TriXX and GPU-Z 0.5.4 as 850/1100. I think you have the TriXX program read the 1100 as Effective RAM Clocks, which shows up as I think as 3175 total EFFECTIVE Clock.

 

I don't have my machine yet so I am not sure what options are in the BIOS. My understanding, however, is that Kingston has two different 1600 MHz kits. One kit (the XMP) is programmed for 1333MHz operation, and you can't get it to 1600MHz unless your motherboard supports XMP operation or you run the Intel XTU overclocking utility (which your computer must support in order to run). The other, which is a plug & play kit, runs at 1600MHz automatically...and I have confirmed in a different machine that all I needed to do was install it, and it ran at 1600 MHz (plug & play).

Also...which cpu do you have?

 

I would have agreed yet the clocks are from hwinfo and are not the effective clock speeds (I did not select it on TriXX).

 

Thanks, but I don't see an option for the Intel Graphics in the BIOS. Is that just the standard BIOS by pressing F12?

I did just update the BIOS and still no luck.

How do you have your monitors hooked up? VGA / DVI / DisplayPort?

 

Holy crap!
An eSata port that doesn't work!

What did Dell tech say about this?

 

F2 gets you into the BIOS at the splash screen. Once there, go down to video and choose it. The Optimus option is there if the Nvidia card is installed.

F12 gets you into the boot option screen, which is an additional step to enter the BIOS.

Scott-

 

Thanks. Sounds like this could vary from machine to machine. Is there anything I can do to minimize the noise (besides going deaf or insane whichever comes first!). Can't imagine any musical types being able to use this machine.
