![]() I'm actually quite pleased at how capable and usable it still is in the twilight days of 2018. My T61p is already beyond 10 years old, others are 11+, that is a long time to ask from a laptop. You guys have to remember this computer really is of retirement age. My T61p has been my bedside computer for maybe 2 years now.? No problems with it knock on wood, it is using the FX 570M one month before "safe" date (july 2008). I have mine on max because the fan is quiet, and keeps temps lower. There is manual fan control for t61p, i use tpfancontrol v0.61, it works very well. GPU voltage is 0.9V, ASPM enabled for dynamic clocking. Under light/moderate load, I have no such problem. I am using nvidia quadro drivers dated october 2016. Just to add my experience, I have global artifacting/distortion very, very rarely, when I have maybe 15+ youtube tabs open in chrome, I'm not sure if it is a driver crash, a voltage problem, or a hardware failure, but it is curable by sleep or reboot. x9000 CPU clocked at 2.8Ghz with 1.0875 vcore (however, vid distortion occurs at any clock speed) ![]() Just curious if anyone else has run into HD playback issues with the T61p, it does effect usability and I'd love to find a resolution to this problem. If I remember correctly, I did not have this problem when running windows 7. Typically, I am running Microsoft Edge, but this also happens when running firefox or chrome. If I toggle the video quality and dial it down to 360p, the video distortion will occur at a much lower rate, but still happens from time to time. ![]() ![]() Could this be a sign that my GPU is failing? Build date is listed as: 07/10 Audio continues normally through the hickups and eventually, the video feed recovers and continues on normally. Quite often, I have this problem, especially when playing youtube videos *in HD* where the video will become distorted and hang for a few seconds.
