nola.. i dun dare to install..

if psystar wins the battle between apple to comercialize max os x to other pc then we wont have so much problem on installing it XD

guys,im using Benq S42 P8600
and i dunno i can still improve this laptop or not.
i mean is my drivers are outdated or is there some ways to tweak this laptop.

im using Vista Home Premium SP2
drivers for laptop i download from Benq website.

got a way to improve sound?
and reduce 9600m gt heat
and make battery last longer
or watever tips?

1 more, can i use hybrid graphics in win 7?
or is there a proved way to use it in win 7?

i am using W7 with hybrid, and yes it works, DoX's modded driver 185.85 seems to be the one delivering the highest performance, and according to miahaha, lowest temperature(by 3-4C)

mind sharing what's ur heat on gaming? izit 95C? if so, try to email the service center to sort out this matter, before this i also face this issue, but after sending in to service, it reduce, i benchmarked devil may cry, and it just give me a 80C even when i stress till the game started lagging, although some graphic heavy game will still smack a 90C++ out of the card.

as for the sound, don think so..u can self mod speaker de..but then, no one tried that yet so far..and as for battery life, i don think driver would improve much, given that the intel GMA already is low power consumption..

anyway welcome to the club, just post ur question here next time, or u can chat with us here also

"welcome to the club?" lol.
i guess u guys rly forgot me.
i was in Benq S41/S42 thread.
but now that thread is gone =.=

my heat on gaming..very hot.
i play games for 3 hours, then laptop auto shut down.
even with cooler(CM infinite) i cant bare the heat when gaming for more than 3 hours.
email the service centre? how to do that

lol jak, cant blame me dude...actually, this is the thread..somewhere at v7 or v8 we decided to change name...and now it's v12 liao..so, quite some times already isn't it..
anyway, try using some GPU temp monitor to monitor ur temperature..sadly say i havent not game for more then 3 hours...i think the longest i play was around 2 hours, playing grid, temperature at 94C peak, and no problem at all..if ur warranty is still there, can just try to talk to service center ppl, request change fan or whole heatsink, cos your one i think is overheating..

warranty over also just try to email Mr Yap to sort out and see la

and who is that Mr Yap?a forumer? give me link.
i bought mine from john_jay2k..i think i should pm him.

mr.yap is the manager of customer service in BEnq HQ.

this driver can used in s42?

anyone tried please pm me

@jakuraz
mind telling what game did you played for 3 long hours before it auto shutdown??

I also S42 (P8600)...well, played GRID for almost 4 hours without any cooler and also with Dox modded driver 185.85, didn't auto shutdown...

Played Prototype for 5 long hours at peak temp of 87C...didn't shutdown also...

I guess there something wrong with your laptop...better send to BenQ SC, like BBXiong did, they change the fan unit and now his laptop are running games under 90C at most...except for those high graphic demanding games

lol afaik no such thing, ur bass will screw up the direction la, cause it position itself in front. not side or anything.

i actually rather go for a super comfy pair of headphones, my friend has one... but sound not as good as my pair of audio technia ATH-SJ3

lately astria has been spending alot of money... hm.... credit check ^^

lol iirc jak has a the "joker" cat as his dp, you change till so diff, how ppl reco you. and erm..... i actually reco 185.68, cause not so troublesome to install la, and erm,... my gaming temp for grid is aroud 70C oni.... (of course now is autumn... so colder hehehehehe)

wah! u rmmber my cat-joker dp..LOL.

ok im planning to use win 7.
now im collecting the drivers.
any modded or recommended drivers?
gonna try them on win 7.

do u guys use drivers from Benq website only?

agree .. that speaker setup will screw the audio quality for sure ... too much bass will be disaster unless u r a disco-kaki .

not whether ur disco kaki or not la, the direction will be screwed up..... explosions would come from all directions, not just the correct one.

Of cuz the bass not full blast bro

My friend he tried full blast for the bass and as u said, really screw up the direction when he try out with songs

But with correct channel settings and a lot tuning of the equalizer on the sound card, it really works , and the bass for some speakers have to reduce to minimal also, so no over "boom" sound

And the reason he choose this set of speaker for that setting is because, the subwoofers is down hitting ver so it don't have a direct shoot at your direction one...
