M6600 Owners Thread

If you fully load the CPU and GPU, you are up at around 150W (assuming you have a 5000-series Quadro)... But there's not anything else that you can do that uses a lot of power. Charging the battery is probably the next most power consuming thing. The screen at max brightness, fans running, USB devices connected, and other random components add up to perhaps a few tens of watts. 240W is adequate.

 

So why at 180W charger I had 1000-1200 less points in 3dMark 11?

 

You need 240W, the larger precision charger. My M4800 came with the 180W.

I definitely said that you need a 240W PA-9E. While from what I said, it seems like 180W will be adequate, the BIOS in these systems is not super flexible when it comes to power management. You aren't expected to use this system with anything other than 240W, and it throttles pretty heavily if you do use something else. My point was that there is no reason to believe that anything higher than 240W will be of any benefit.

 

I'm looking for cheap and damaged dell charger (180/240), will change eeprom in 330 and I will post score here.

 

hi guys

I know I'm stupid, but...there is a way to load the bios of dell quadro3000m on HP model?

I bought the wrong version

thx

 

At least in theory, the machine should(?) boot using the Intel GPU (especially if you disable the switchable graphics, in the BIOS). I would think you should then be able to flash a Dell video BIOS onto that Quadro.

The most certain way would be to do it hardware, but i assume that's not really an option...

 

I think you mean if you enable switchable graphics in the BIOS. (In the M6600, the BIOS doesn't mention switchable graphics, just "Optimus" which is the same thing.)

 

the computer wont boot, black screen

I can not access the bios!

 

Can you connect an external display and see if that gets used?
