QUOTE(reevephon @ Dec 1 2009, 07:14 PM) Will this laptop get heat easily like those Compaq V3000 Series when on gaming and when on normal usage(I mean on the palmrest or keyboard part)? But I've heard this laptop is feature a IceCool design. So how is it? Planning to buy this laptop as well. Is it worth? Remarks: I was referring to K40AB not K50AB.

Actually you guys mentioned about resolution is from the in-game setting or the desktop properties resolution? pls read the first few post. it's ALL CLEARLY shared. i wonder how much tougher to make one understand. nothing to reconfirm, we have tested and shared out our personal thoughts of it This post has been edited by kucingfight: Dec 1 2009, 08:09 PM

I've seen one the laptop price list from the Lowyat.net, it saying Asus K40AB Clearance, so will this laptop stop manufacturing or stop market in the next few weeks?

I'm expecting this thread will be a serious discussion about modding, overclocking, game tweaks and tips. It turns out to be newbie q&a festival thread which most of them are already in the first page Just to spice up this boring thread, this is how my lappie looks now (I hoping no newbie ask what is that). I've clean all the critical component, and applied Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste. The fan now are reasonably quiet, instead of a high pitch whine now its only emit a low hum.

The fanmod shouldn't void any warranty, since there are no void stickers to be removed and there are no solder joints or hardmod on the fan

Didn't void the warranty so  Don't try, just do it  In idle with resistor it around 50-54C for CPU in 2.1GHz and 47-50C at 1.05GHz, the GPU is around 50-53C at 2D speed (220MHz core 250MHz memory) or 53-55C at 729MHz core 603MHz memory in desktop. In load the GPU reaches only around 80C in GPU toaster FurMark, so in any games it wont even reach that temperature  Remember, my resistance is 6.67 ohm, you could use lower (5 ohm) for faster speed or 10 ohm for more silent computing

Found the registry solution for Warcraft III : Frozen Throne,
Merely navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video and change resheight and reswidth to 768 and 1366 respectively. (Decimal not hexadecimal)

Guys while I was on battery today, the remaining percentage shoot up from 6 % to 15% before going down again normally giving me another extra 15minute of usage before entering hibernation.
I think its time to calibrate the battery. No idea how to do a proper battery calibration using the option in Bios.
