Hey,

 

Today is a good day for the D4x0 group, we just got a sponsor.

 

Starting from today, our forum is now hosted by SABAS Online Backup - the diffrence is:

 

Old server:

Macmini, 2gb memory, c2d 2ghz

 

New server:

2 x Quad Core Xeon, 2,8ghz, 8gb memory

 

I did some performance testing on the forum by running large indexing, and its FAST.. so.. enjoy

Hey everyone,

 

So it seems, that our problem child is the D6x0 - mainly the Nvidia systems, so - to deal with that, i put up 350$ of my own money and bought a D630, it should arrive within a few days, once that arrive i will start testing.

 

I'm sure, that none of the problems we see now will stay to long

 

I'll like to call for all D6x0 owners to contact me via [email protected] - we need to put together a test team so we quick and swiftly can narrow this down and nail it to the wall.

Just ordered 2 of these...

Hi,

 

This is a D430-Intel, and right now (with mediabase) its stable at 58C - i had it opened a while back when i replaced the old cooler, and i noticed that it uses these "pillows", i gave it a bit of artic silver both below and on top of the "pillow", and that lowered the temp. a bit - i have been considering finding some coper blocks to replace the pillows - rumor has it that it transports heat better.. what do you think ?

 

And yes, the Nvidia becomes quite warm, but it also depends on what nm the cpu and gpu is made in.. eg. the 8xxx intel series produce less heat even with a higher freq. than eg. mine u7700 does.

Actually its quite normal for this model, the normal 1,2ghz is a bit less, i have allready done everything that Can be done, yesterday when we were doing experiments it went up to 87 degree

Hey,

 

Yep, 65 is hot, but mine is a D430 1,33ghz, so its quite normal

 

Can you mail me your smbios and com.apple. to [email protected] ?

Now, thats a DAMN good idea.. i love it.. we could take the information we get back and document it on the wiki (the wiki is better for actual documentation)

 

Anything you wanna be in charge of ?

Hey People,

 

 

So, fire away.. what would you like to see in the next EDP ?

 

I'm thinking:

 

* Fix script to apply fixes to the system (eg. fixme.command)

* Automated optimize and cleanup script (eg. optimize.command)

* Functional SD Card reader

* Bugfix: voodooPS2controller with no-debug and add support for trackpoint

* Support for Dell Latitude D520

* Full VGA out support..

 

Other ideas ?
