Hi, two days back i bought 6165tx. My question is can i partition my C: which is 684GB in size into 3 or more partition using EASEUS PM utility? If i do so does it corrupt the OS and/or voids the warranty?

[dsanandmca]

Is it possible to minimize any window by just scrolling fingers in DV6 6165tx touch-pad from top left corner to bottom in horizontal direction and close the window by scroll top left corner to bottom right corner diagonally? (As in sony viao touchpad)

Yes you can partition it using EASEUS utility and it not at all voids warranty.

How can you even make that work on a vaio? I have one but I can't.

Just check the touch-pad options. I did it in my relatives lappy..

you can minimize(top left to bottom left), restore(top left to top right) and close (top right to bottom right - diagonally) function by simply scroll fingers

DV6 6165 looks beastly on paper. Its a bummer that HP didn't provide a backlit keyboard. Anyway, it there any version of DV7 available with the hardware of dv6 6165?
I'd prefer a fullHD 17inch monitor with the specs of dv6 6165.

Yes, dv7 is available, but not sure if its here in India. Check HP site.

it indeed is a monster... but the dv7 series that you are looking for is not available in India yet...

i have had my hp laptop for a week now and honestly i wasnt very excited when i got it home for 3-4 days. however after spending time with it, i have fallen in love with this machine... the only thing i hate about it is the display... i have experienced the service centre in Mumbai and trust me they aren't that bad; infact i havent had any issues with them... i had a compaq for 4 years and did visit the service centre thrice only... not bad is it?? the build quality for hp is also good, well atleast for now(maybe its too early to say that in my case). but i think you should still consider them....

[faujibrat]

i have been unable to use a program to detect my gpu temp, stuff like real temp does not detect my cpu temp, any help would be really appreciated

What's wrong with my battery?

[dashing.sujay]

^Nothing, why?

[rider]

^Nothing, why?

because this is the condition of fully charged laptop.
I am getting 1 hr 15min battery life

[dashing.sujay]

^How old it is?

[rider]

5 months exactly

[Prongs298]

oi rider, my 6 months old laptop which is almost exactly the same as yours shows only 6% battery wear level. and the battery life it offers is around 3hrs 45mins on average. maybe you have left the ati discrete gfx on or have set the cpu frequency to more than 780 mhz (btw that is pretty low and in fact the lowest this i7 will go, but still enough for daily tasks).

No, I'm using power saving GPU
What is the affect of water level in battery? Is higher percentage better?
And how can I change cpu frequency ?

[Prongs298]

go to power options and then set the max and min cpu level to 5 for both it will go to the min which is 780mhz and then you get max battery life.

Can you please explain in detail, because I can't find to customise performance.
And what is water level percentage?

In power processor management I set the maximum processor state to 5% from 100% in batter mode.

[sarthak]

^^^^ Calibrate your battery. It'll reduce the wear.

[dashing.sujay]

go to power options and then set the max and min cpu level to 5 for both it will go to the min which is 780mhz and then you get max battery life.

Have you gone mad?

[rider]

I checked my battery in power saving GPU.
customized with hp recommended mode with 50% brightness, keep wi-fi on, used the external speakers. Keep played the movie of .mkv format in vlc player and the battery lasts for 118 minutes (after that computer move to hibernate mode).
Also put in power processor management > the maximum processor state to 5% from 100% in battery mode for 90 minutes in between.

[pranav0091]

You wanted an i7 and now you want to set it to 5% CPU?!

@rider: Have you set the GPU mode to fixed or dynamic?
And shut off WiFi when not in use.

Again one more thing. have you played games when on the battery?
Because if you do that often, that is going to hurt the battery quite a lot.

[rider]

@rider: Have you set the GPU mode to fixed or dynamic?

Ofcourse in fixed mode!

There is no use of almighty core-i7 when you are not gaming or editing and in battery mode.

[pranav0091]

There is nothing wrong with your battery going by that screenshot that you posted. So it must something related to some CPU hungry process. Just over na hour with powersaving mode on and with IGP is too little.

You dont need to set the max processor value to 5%. Its the min processor value that you have to change. Set only the min processor value to 5% and max processor to something like 40% in power saving and 80-90 in balanced. just my opinions though.

When you run the processor slowly, the processes themselves take longer to execute. This means that you are not going to save much power anyways.

[arsenalfan001]

I have my laptop running on battery for nearly 5 hours for surfing and watching videos and listening to songs.
Using intel GPU, power saved mode, display brightness reduced to minimum while surfing and listening to songs and for movies its around 60-70%, max processor state set to 50%.

I checked again today..in power saving GPU, I customized hp recommend mode turning max processor to 40% and brightness at 0 % turned off wi-fi and played .mp4 files in vlc player. And I got 2 hr 15 minutes of battery
What's wrong with this?
