just got mine from lowyat

k40ab 2nd generation with the sticker 20 % cooler (dont know whether they really change the cooler inside or just add the sticker) rm 2020 without free gift...come with asus bag and mouse

install vista ultimate...and install all the drivers from the asus cd..all no problem..never install srs and other webcam software..coz it's useless for me.

all FN key working...and the power express auto detect and user select is working..bios set to power express .

idling temperature after 15 mins 77 Celcius

play street fighter 4 temperature goes up to 90 C..never stress it with PI..so dont know what the max temperature..

have a feeling this laptop only last 1 year then condemn coz of the heat.
Overall...good gaming laptop...speaker not good altho says altec lansing..sounds too soft....nowadays all laptop speaker not good already... quality build..so so ...compared to old asus f80q...

u use the driver provided in the Asus CD right?
u install graphic card driver without modded?
your display is ATI 3200 or ATI 4570?

btw..anyone have problems with the battery?..mines is charging only up to 98%. Was 100% when i first got it....a couple of days later its 99% and now 98%. Do i need to calibrate the battery in bios? bloody hell...RM2k laptop is really RM2k....hahaha

yes without modded....dont wanna mod it coz the hazzle of driver bug just because extra few fps juice and vista optimze startup without CCC and ATI tools.

display? can set or it will auto set..

when on battery if will auto set to 3200 before asking you to press ok...on power will be 4570.

can also manually select it also.

so my Asus ati driver consider bug free coz i just bought it yesterday. Latest K40AB with 20% cooler sticker.

Celaka,...my laptop battery stop chargin at 97% and says unable to charge. At this rate i keep on calibrating the battery, 100% will actually mean 10% in real battery power. Never seen a battery dying to damn fast.

hmm so with this so-called 20% cooler thing, what is ur lowest temp?

With my K50AB, i can hit 36 deg celcius when idling inside air-con room, and another forumer also managed to hit 36 deg celcius when idling in non-a/c room.
i never encountered this problem before. maybe u got a lemon unit?

yup, i've hit 36c no ac, just open the back cover and rise the laptop few cm. the arm rest is cool, but warning, the below side is hot when you dont open up the cover.

It is hot when its in game, but normal surfing, movie, ms words the laptop keeps cool.

I've managed to install MS Virtual PC 2007, and I can enable the Virtualization. I though someone said that the diff with turion is virtualization part and P-State right?

Added on September 4, 2009, 12:55 pmso sad...juz read about AMD new laptop processor... AMD turion II,turion II ultra,Athlon II...huhuhu...why...why!!!!!!!

I can choose when to use Auto-Fan control and when to use Max-Fan speed. Max fan speed really rocks as even the top part of the laptop doesn't feel hot anymore.

there is one problem with k40ab... some user gets auto fan adjust......some get full blast fan even when it's cool

so urs the fan running max or auto?

how it done?

you can refer back my earlier post in this thread. i'm actually exploiting a bug in the system. really love to run at 36 deg celcius. furthermore, the fan at full speed is not that loud compared to some laptops on full fan speed.
