THERMAL PASTE: all laptop companies use horrible thermal paste. When i bought my HP its max temp hit 82C under high strain. If I notice my cpu ever reach 85C then I know that the thermal paste is wearing down and I need to apply new thermal paste. I have normally noticed a 4-6 degree drop when I apply Arctic Silver 5 to my computers.
HP RECOMMENDATION DONT BUY!!! I have the Dv7t-0c00 Quad and i have had issues finding good drivers, have game hangs, and I have seen too many issues on these forums, and HP does nothing to resolve these issues. HORRIBLE TECH SUPPORT!!!

Yo man,
I have finally given up on waiting for "Hp to post new 7690mXt driver" I have done what you told me.
I have downloaded the 12.3 Catalyst pre-review.
Yes, it did register my 7690 as 7600m series.
Yes, it did nurf the clock speed from 900 to 800. (even better GPU will probably overheat less nov
)
BUT EVERYTHING RUNS INSAINLY FASTER NOW ! We are talking in 15%fps increase and no screen tearing.
100mhz wont miss yaa
Thnx man.
ps -tried to ask for new driver date release on ATI forum. They were lets just say "less then co-operative and polite with me" ![]()
