HP Quad Edition DV6 laptop. Intel 2720QM Sandy Bridge Processor 2.2 GHz (3.3 GHz turbo boost) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6570 (1GB GDDR5) 6 GB DDR3 Ram Took it completely apart to apply some new thermal paste. What they put on there was a mess, spilled out all around the chips. Applied some MX-4. I will have some video comparisons up, but what I do have to say is the temps run about the same, BUT the clock speeds run higher during stress testing. It appears the laptop tries to hit a set temp around 82 degree's regardless of clock speed. So with the new paste it run's slightly faster around 2.7 GHz consistently compared to 2.4-2.5 GHz during the same testing as before. For a quad core laptop with a good graphics card, HP really could have designed a better heatsink for this model. Puny if you ask me. Idles 50-55 C. Really easy laptop to take apart. Had to do it twice, since after the first time I put it completely back together, the computer told me I forgot to hook up the fan. I had to take it COMPLETELY apart again for one connector, got it done in about 20 minutes total that time around, including put back together. This is the third laptop I took apart now, I find a thrill in doing it. Almost like surgery lol. I do have to say I am fairly good at computer repair and working on computers to speed them up. Have a few jobs that hired me on the side to work on computers for them. I love doing it, but I'm not pursuing a degree in it unfortunately. In the medical field actually ...
