Unless the heatsink has some thermal interface pad on it already (like the Intel stock coolers do), you have to apply thermal paste. Drop a rice grain sized blob of paste on the processor and install the heatsink according to the instructions. The pressure of the heatsink will spread the thermal paste. | ||

Is it extremely noticeable if the heatsink already has the thermal pad on it? | ||

You should be able to see if your monitor is not running at its optimal resolution, because the rescaling it has to do should make fine details like text quite blurry. If the monitor runs at the native resolution, everything should be sharp. Post the model of the monitor if you need more info. It's a Dell SE198WFP. | ||

Are you using VGA or DVI. nVidia's Flat Panel Scaling, which should solve the issue, doesn't work with VGA. | ||

Apparently someone else also had this problem and he said the monitor only work in XP and Vista. Windows 7 did install the driver but it didn't seem to do anything. Still can't use the optimum resolution. So anti-climatic when my dad finally get me smt and it doesn't even work. | ||

Ditch the VGA, use DVI, and the problem will be solved. I have no idea why people are still using analogue video outputs in this day and age. Edit: I am very certain that DVI (and if required, Flat Panel Scaling in the nvidia drivers) will solve the issue unless you've screwed some video setting in the monitor's OSD or GPU driver. Its a very old monitor and I don't have a Dell monitor anymore so I can't help you if the DVI cable doesn't work. | ||

If not, what's the most I can do with this? Not really. The stock solution is really shitty and even 3.3 to 4.0 will heat the processor up quite significantly. With that fan 4.0ghz sounds reasonable. | ||

The Catalyst Control center says: 715MHz out of 740Mhz High Performance memory clock settings 900MHz out of 100MHz fans doing whatever (30%, 50% ect) | ||

But really, what are temperatures under load? | ||

You could try setting a manual fan speed if you don't mind the noise. | ||

Yeah, unless the video is some insane (non-standard super-high-def) bitrate/resolution/fps/encoding monster. Typical content should be easily no problem and no problem for most any modern laptop or desktop processor. | ||

At the moment announced models are all 40nm, but my guess is that the highest-end models released later will be 28nm to match the desktop parts. That's just a guess and may be wrong. e.g. 7990M may use the chip used in the desktop 78xx. Desktop 77xx should also be 28nm so maybe 78xxM will correspond to those. Or maybe they'll just recycle old designs. | ||

It will still be lower I would assume?I have a non tech related (in a way) question for our know it alls on the forum, (people like Mymidon, Skyr, and Medrea) - what do you do in real life? And what brought you to know so much about computers etc? Is it just a hobby, or does it have something to do with your career? | ||

Otherwise it's probably screwed trying to handle the extra heat. But really, what are temperatures under load? Under load as in playing skyrim, or somthing like prime95? | ||
