it does. It's amd inside, not just sound hot, it feel hot too, duh

Other then that, Athlon have 2 P-state while Turion have 3, which make it benefit more from the amd CnQ technology.

#Najmod: Congrats on your opening of this threads, I'm sure this k40ab WOULD GET VERY HOT here (pun very much intended )

About the fusion part, I bet you wouldn't notice any different in the futuremark score but it did help to achieve better framerates in games and reduce stuttering as well.

Ohh yeah, I do aware that this lappie is quite hot under heavy load, but how about the volume? When idle does the voice emission noticeable, and while under load does the noise become unbearable?


#Hanz, mind telling us how are the battery life b4 and after your tweak? And your heat too

FIXED

Great, thanks for your information
The heat doesn't really concern too much to me compare to loud fan noise, as I hv been use to it already on my rig



Out of topic:
Anybody here can clarify whether what this guy say is true or just bull? According to him, it's ok to run your processor at 100'C as long as it's within the thermal specification of the cpu.

Maybe it's Advancd PowerPlay come into play, try check your CCC and see if you can change to using the discrete card.








#Najmod, can you do me a favour and check how are the 4570 temps in your lappies? does it get as high as the cpu? Sorry for the trouble

So finally you decide to get this k40ab Congrats on your new lappies!!!
How are the operating temps for you? If you feel it's too hot, you could try to downvolt it, and remebr to enable CnQ as well.
Cheers

CnQ=Cool n Quite, it would downclock your cpu when it's idle, hence use less power and less heat also. Use CPUz and check if your clock speed keep throttling or not.
About the undervolt, a lot of people been doing it and no problem, it's working great for my brisbane too, just be careful and you would be fine.

Btw, I just call PC-City recently, and they tell me that k50ab would prolly release after 1-2 weeks or around the PC fair, I"m eagerly waiting for it
Since they give you so many freebies, I would sure *ugut* from them too

Go to your power setting or something like that, tick the Balanced Power plan, check your cpuz and see if your clock-speed went up and down. If it does, then it's on, then you could tweak the voltage with K10stat or RMclock.

HAha, I'm from KK, can count neighbour also la Borneo
I check and find-out only PC-City is selling ASUS laptop in Sabah, maybe it's branch of the Kuching company gua

virtual machine environment? What's that
Anyway if you need a more powerful number-crunching cpu, den get urself a C2D 2.4ghz+
If you aiming for real-life performance, the hdd speed matter more.

Wow, there are so many people with amd phobia here.
If you handle computer hardware long enough you would realize that most of the time, it's other part like psu, mobo, hdd, gpu failure that spoil the system. System failure due to CPU is very very rare from my experience.
Maybe you can name me a notebook that don't heat up during heavy load, I would like to buy 1 myself too.
Don't forget that it's an asus, NOT acer , with 2 years global warranty too.


#Chill TaiKor najmod, relax. Let that guy buy a laptop with Nvidia 8600M for 3k+ then regret after servicing thrice in 6 months.

Performance-wise, Athlon Ql-64 and Turion Rm-74 are on par, rm-74 have higher HT-link and 3 P-stat under CnQ but that's it.
While turion Ultra ZM-84 have bigger L2cache, you have to keep in mind that K8 architecture don't benefit as much as intel c2d from bigger cache, It depend more on Hyper-Transport. But seriously, hdd speed matter more in real-life perfromance.

Any high-end graphic card would be very HOT (pun intended )

the Dell studio 15 is using hd4570 with gddr3 ram, thus shud be faster, but according to TS, the bottleneck would be at the 64bit memory bandwidth rather then the vram, so prolly not much different in the end . If you don't have AMD phobia, i would whole-heartly recommend this model to you.

Added on July 20, 2009, 9:01 amHaha, yeah, the intel P4 Pres-Hottttt is much worse, actually the whole NetBurst Microarchitecture Suck badly.... After Intel feel the threat from AMD only they start doing something serious, hence the Core Microarchitecture. This prove that where there is competition, there is improvement.
Just hope AMD could survive, else shit would happen, no more cheap proc.



Regarding the 8600M, I read that Nvidia pay several pc-maker and make them release bios that limit the GPU ability and enabling full-running fans to cover their ass. Googling around and you would find lotsa similiar news. I think that's why your cousin's chip haven phailed, this also explain that the 4570 beating it in gaming performance.

undervolt if you want to save power, personaly i use CrystralCPUID. It make my brisbane idle at 30'C

About this lappy for now i dono, LOLZ, I was waiting for it's brother k50ab. Read the 1st page as our TS here already put up some helpful tips. About the grpaihc, the hd4570 is quite capable and can run most game at medium setting.

K-ON Mio FTW!!!!!

Haha, I bet now you regret din buy the warranty, Haiz, a LOT of ppl oso kena, that's not fairplay by Nvidia...
If you don't have AMD phobia then i highly reccomend this lappie o you value for money

To these people who complain, find me another laptop that can play Crysis, DoW2, Prototype for under 2k AND with 2 years warranty. And Please Do aware that when gaming, every computer would get hot, it's the gpu that under the most stress there.
