    Default motherboard replacement- DV6000

    Well.. as it says, I am looking to replace the motherboard in my dv6000, yes I know about all the issues they are known for.

    Either way, same model or new, I will be shimming, using AS5 and providing additional cooling from the bottom of the laptop with a pad cooler. I was thinking of finding a small chipset fan to put over? the gpu to pull air in from the bottom since the only cooling related vents are at the HS/F and over the RAM and HDD.

    My questions:
    Has anybody changed the model of the system board in any of the known defect series?
    Any issues with this?

    My laptop motherboard is a 433280-001 with the Go 7200 (bottom of class 4 on notebookcheck) and dual core AMD Processor (not sure of exact model).

    I want to use motherboard 459564-001 which supports hdmi, and has the Go 8400m (top of class 4). It is quite a bit more powerful over the 7200 and no comparison to the Go 6150 used in other models.

    From pictures i've found on the interweb, they look identical.
    Differences I found:
    HDMI port (there is an empty spot on the shell)
    RAM slot flipped
    heatsink mounting (will be buying with motherboard)

    Go 6150 Specs:
    Pipelines 2 / 1 Pixel- / Vertexshader
    Core Speed * 425 MHz
    Shader Speed * 425 MHz
    Memory Speed * 0 MHz
    Memory Bus Width 0 Bit
    Memory Type shared Memory
    Shared Memory yes
    Turbocache bis 128MB
    DirectX DirectX 9c, Shader 3.0
    technology 110 nm

    Go 7200 Specs:
    Pipelines 4 / 3 Pixel- / Vertexshader
    Core Speed * 450 MHz
    Shader Speed * 450 MHz
    Memory Speed * 350 MHz
    Memory Bus Width 32 Bit
    Memory Type DDR-3
    Max. Amount of Memory 64 MB
    Shared Memory no
    DirectX DirectX 9c, Shader 3.0
    Transistors 112 Million
    technology 90 nm

    Go 8400m Specs:
    Pipelines 16 - unified
    Core Speed * 400 MHz
    Shader Speed * 800 MHz
    Memory Speed * 600 MHz
    Memory Bus Width 64 Bit
    Memory Type GDDR2 / GDDR3
    Max. Amount of Memory 256 MB
    Shared Memory no
    DirectX DirectX 10, Shader 4.0
    Current Consumption 11 Watt
    Transistors 210 Million
    technology 80 nm

    Here is the 2 motherboards.

    That is the teeter totter I am stuck in the middle on. lol

    While I want it to work, if it doesn't, I can't get a refund. The board is 70-100 bucks plus the heatsink is 15-30 bucks. The rest of the hardware should be compatible per everything I read assuming everything I read was accurate. lol

    I was also looking at this evercool laptop cooler and wondering about building a water cooling setup. using what space is in the base as an enclosure for the rad/pump and res if room permited.

    Pump/Res- http://www.xoxide.com/x2o-200-pumpres.html
    GPU- http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-mcw30-chipset.html
    CPU- http://www.xoxide.com/koolance-gpu-220.html
    RAD- http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-mcr120-xp.html
    Chipset- based off the cooler on it now, I may be able to get away with a stick on ram sink but would definitely have to monitor.

    I would use 1/4" barb and hose for plumbing. The water setup is more of a dream i guess as I don't even know if the board will work, lol

    As long as the hardware plays nice, I can figure out a way to use it even if it doesn't fit the case.. it would just be disappointing.

    Based on the mPCIE slots and the procy socket, looks like you shouldn't have any problems with the RAM. And the mounting spots look 100% in the same location.

    If it doesn't work, you can hopefully sell the other board.

    Let's hope it does
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    i want to see this happen. you don't hear much about modding laptops like this. usually it's just some case mods or ram upgrades.

    Thanks AmEv and xr4man.

    I think a board replacement will happen regardless, the current one is shot. lol. There is never enough pc's and I don't want to share anymore, lol. Plus it's a shame to just have sit around. Overall, it is still a decent spec'd laptop.

    The laptop specs (DV6045nr):
    CPU- TL-56 (1.8Ghz Turion X2)
    RAM- DDR2 667 (1GB x2)
    HDD- 120GB (SATA 5400RPM)
    NIC- 10/100/1000
    DISPLAY- 15.4" 1280x800 WXGA Brightview
    WIFI- 802.11 B/G


    Anyone want to sponsor the water cooling part? haha

    I was kidding. I wouldn't expect anyone to give this second thought on the water cooling being the laptop was released in 2006/2007.

    I will update how the motherboard goes though as it seems there is some interest in that. The water cooling is more or less out of reach.

    Talking to the wife about it, she was OK with the board upgrade but literally walked out of the house when I talked about water cooling it. lol
