Hi,
Basically i've replaced a dead board in a HP DV9000 laptop, i've done a few before but this ones a litte different. The GPU has its own heatsink, basically like this:
I've reflowed a few Nvidia gpus but this one has the i945pm in the middle and has a pad to link to the shared (with Cpu) heatsink. Is it worth getting a copper shim for this? Does the 945 suffer from heat issues? The gpu on the replaced board is idling at 45 and loading at 78C so i think thats fine. Is there anyway to monitor the chipset temp? The T7200 Cpu i upgraded it with idles at 34 ish and loads at 67C under IBT so i think thats more than fine, plus when i use throttlestop to control the vcore i cut load temps to about 56C as this chip can undervolt to 1.000v stable. Cheers for any replies!
