that one is to fight studio 15, not k40ab, price wise

I agree but then all have 4570

true, nvidia has been doing pretty bad job lately.
all going with ati.

Guys please keep this thread clean, dont post anything not related to k40AB/k50AB. If you want laptop recommendation, go to recommendation thread, discuss there

EDIT: Another of my mod of the day, I open the HSF. Its easier than I thought but it voids the warranty, but I rather have the warranty be voided than overheated laptop. I found a bit of dust bunnies inside the fins, temperature drop further about 2C in load.

And an interesting I found is, there are actually TWO set of heatsinks on it, the one is the heatpipe to the back heatsink fins, that cools the CPU while the other one is just one big flat piece of aluminium without any fins whatsoever and its just connected to the main heatpipe via small patch of thermal paste, and this cools the HD 4570 GPU and the main chipset! No wonder the idle temperature is so high! I plan to buy the small RAM copper heatsink to increase surface area and further cools the GPU

errkkkk... i rather burn the notebook than voiding the warranty. cuz hdd is safe. while i can just send it to the service centre for a new mobo. i rather not pay for a new mobo IF it burn. xD

Well, I'm not putting it on fire, why should it burn in the first place?

Just did a Win 7 clean format. Gonna get back to you soon after installing shift.

Maybe it crashes because of bad media source ?

u should know that nfs shift is a buggy games..
some setting will give problem..

i had a clean format too.. but still nfs crashes.. and batman damn.. knot glide.. original disc summore.. duh..

Funny, the SRS software didnt load during startup. It supposed to be installed with the audio driver right? But i had installed every driver n utilities from Asus support site that meant for Windows 7 32bit. Any ideas anyone?

And i yet to face crashes with NFS Shift.

another new member also a new laptop user. does taking out battery when using power supply extend the battery life? will the heat do down?

nope. when fully charged. power will be directly thru ac input only. heat wont go down at all cos ur not using the battery.
