What is "EC FW" any ideas ??? I know of short (Embedded Controller Firmware Resources) - but what benefit to us ???
Regards Lukasz
The Embedded Controller is the one responsible with the power management and some other stuff for our notebook. It is a table with many values where each one represents something for the notebook. I only know of a few values that show the curent fan speed, the cpu/gpu temperature and the battery capacity. The other values I don't really know what they mean but each one has a specific way of monitoring or controlling the features of the notebook.
So, all in all, an EC Firmware update is a good thing if they have made the right changes and haven't messed it up even more. By changing the EC they can also change the default fan profiles for the CPU/GPU and I'm still hoping that they'll change the damn fan profile for the CPU so people won't need NBFC to lower their temps.
