    Hey everyone, i have recently ran 3dmark06 tests on my m1530 and i wanted to get some feedback on my scores and maybe some comparison to other systems. I'm currently triple booting windows 7 x64, vista ultimate x64, and windows xp x86. I use mooded drivers from laptopvideo2go on all the OS's but i don't remember which ones. All tests run at 1280 x 800
    specs
    t9300 c2d
    4gb 667mHz ram
    8600m gt 256mb - i think
    personally made cheap cooler w/ fan running at 7.5 v - i think thats what it says on the power adapter, can be changed from 1.5-12v

    Vista scores
    no OC / default 475/702 - 4666
    max gpu temp 69deg C

    "personally made cheap cooler w/ fan running at 7.5 v - i think thats what it says on the power adapter, can be changed from 1.5-12v"

    have you changed the stock heat sink and fan on the processor and nvidia chip? if so, how?

    im quite interested in doing the same, but just looking for a slim line hs&f to fit into a laptop..

    I've just recently bought an m1530 as I got one on a relatively good deal so finally plumped for one!

    My specs are:

    T8300
    4GB ram
    320Gb 7200rpm HD
    Stock cooling except for 9cell battery.

    My running temps have been pretty good under load & idle, was a bit worried with a lot of people talking about highish temps!.

    I've been doing a few 3dmark benchies using the Basic edition (i'm assuming the stock settings are the same run in this case?) running at 1280 x 800. I have formatted with Vista and running forceware 179.28.

    Complete stock settings I got 4868

    I have bumped up the clock speeds to the same as benched in this thread 675/ 1350 / 900 ( haven't tried full clocking) and got 6349!

    not sure if you can see from the screeny but temps are:
    cpu max 60c
    gpu 75c

    been quite impressed so far!!!

    thats good :D are you using vista 32 or 64 bit? and does harddrive speed have anything to do with a higher score?

    ooh cool! I haven't really had anything to compare to know if good or not.....well I'm just using Vista 32bit atm. I dont think the hard drive speed has anything to do with the results, but I maybe wrong I wouldn't have thought so!

    I did another test last night and pushed to 700 / 1400 / 925, and got 6506. I darent go any more heh. no display probs at all, and temps were good

    cpu 61c max
    gpu 76x max
