QUOTE(Najmods @ Jul 18 2009, 02:16 PM) P0 or P1? If you just browsing, click P1 and select both core0 and core1, reduce the Vcore to 0.9V and apply. If you want to run games select P0 and both its core and select apply. This way you can save the power more, since in desktop it would be limited to 1.05GHz no matter what the load is i see i see.. so if i decided not to use k10 and wanna it revert to its old stat i'll just have to delete the .exe right?Screenshot added on 2nd post btw i did what you taught me, waiting to test battery results tonight!

QUOTE(InFe_eD @ Jul 18 2009, 04:25 PM) 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? well before i undervolted the cpu battery life for me was 2 hours and 10 minutes. After undervolting i managed to squeeze another 25 minutes out of it, which is good! (credits to Najmods) and the heat went down too by around 8 to 10 degrees. #Hanz, mind telling us how are the battery life b4 and after your tweak? And your heat too This post has been edited by hanz08: Jul 18 2009, 08:47 PM |

QUOTE(chugeliang @ Jul 19 2009, 11:02 PM) Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD4570 with 512MB DDR2 VRAM 680Mhz core 500MHz memory with onboard HD 3200 via PowerXpress yeah its the same. hi there, im kinda confused about this graphic card...erm what i mean is compare to dell studio 15 gc what the differences ? =.= same huh ? QUOTE(Batusai @ Jul 19 2009, 11:14 PM) found out this lappy few days ago.. from my bro.. i've been eyeing on cq40-401ax.. well now this model came out.. the price is equally same.. and the GPU certainly attracts me.. cod 2? u can run cod 4 on med-high settings for sure. reading this topic.. seems troublesome to tweak everything eh.. im not so of a pro.. so this lappy is definitely better then 401ax? full recommendation for it? btw the game mentioned is CoD 2?? not CoD 4 ah? how does it perform o CoD 4? impossible to run? QUOTE(revolnia @ Jul 20 2009, 12:14 AM) well you can always get a usb bluetooth device. problem solved! |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Jul 21 2009, 01:28 PM) well K40AB is not so hot but comparable (with original vista settings & Asus driver from CD provided) if you undervolt the cpu and use a laptop cooler, you can get the results belowidle 60 surfing 60+ movie 80 gaming 90 within 15 minutes Added on July 21, 2009, 1:29 pm Asus 2 years international warranty is the best answer idle 50-53 surfing 55 movie 63+ gaming 70+ note that you won't feel the heat anywhere but only the upper right part of laptop which feels warm. keyboard, touchpad and palm rest perfectly cool. |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Jul 24 2009, 04:01 PM) I have Fallout 3 but I haven't install it, not at my laptop at least. I think I'm going to instal XP back till I got 4GB of RAM, plus I wanted to try ATiWinflash in XP since it won't work in 7 i have 4 gb of ram and i'm trying to push the k40ab to its limits, so far so good. maybe i should revert back to windows xp for better performance. |
