Can anyone upload picture to differentiate old K50AB badge and the newer K50AB badge with "more cool ..." sticker?

Whats the difference other than that?

actually the only difference is the hard drive size, 250gb and 320gb. all the features are the same. old batch also hv cool palm rest. only no sticker. so just worry about the size of the disk u get instead of thinking about a stupid sticker. sweat.gif

So its the same hardware wise? I mean same cooling efficiency & hardware (CPU,RAM) ? icon_rolleyes.gif

So is the 320GB K50AB exactly the same like 250GB K50AB specification & cooling efficiency wise ?

Same hardware but different HDD size?

Yeah mating fast Intel C2D with integrated graphics seems weird to me. Leastwise i can do 1 more function in this laptop.

Game while others with X4500 drool with envy. laugh.gif

Anyone here updated K50AB/K40AB to BIOS Version 2.13 dated 11/9/2009 ? Suppose to fix blue screen issue during S4. Any problems after update?

juz setup and install win7 on k50ab. definitely love this lappy, considering its price. tweaking around k10stats to lower volt to the max

overal..no complaints.  thumbup.gif

Just asking if there is noticeable perfomance improvement using Windows 7 7600RTM over Vista SP2 ? Any issues other than resuming from S4?

S4 refers to power saving mode. S3 is standby, S4 is hibernate. ACPI definition. icon_rolleyes.gif

My K50 fan does not spin fast enough. The average temperature is about 78'C for normal use (internet, music, etc) even though i use cooler pad. Is this normal ? Some user reporting high fan spin but mine doesn't. It just blows very slowly sometimes mildly. I am using Vista SP2 by the way. I wonder why...?

I'm using Win 7, surfing around 78-82C (room temp) ..doesn't spin FAST too..

I think this is the normal temperature if we use 100% CPU power without power saving (Cool & Quiet Off). Better to use Power4Gear Quiet Office or Entertainment mode for surfing. 50% Max cpu usage, less energy, -20'C less heat. icon_rolleyes.gif

Reserve Power4Gear High Performance mode for gaming or demanding application.

If you have more than 3GB of RAM use 64Bit, otherwise its the same. No performance difference whatsoever. cool2.gif

Whats the lowest stable voltage for P0 and P1 using K10Stats? Can anyone go lower than recommended value in the first page? (P0:1.1v, P1:0.9v)

yeah done tat..but i don think it's possible to 'forced' it to run 1ghz continuously rite? it will step up/down accordingly to defined %

Can la bro, just play with the power4gear min/max state or the up/down values at k10stats. I can force run it at 50% cpu power but this mode only suitable for less demanding apps. icon_rolleyes.gif
