sorry bro..wrongly qouted..misspressed it from early replies
don mean to point to u  notworthy.gif

i was refering to those newbie post like

k50ab good ah' , y windows cannot detect 4570 ah..

im cool~ hahaa.. but just wondering.. why my fren is having this problem.. he tried 216 already.. still not working.. back to 203.. guess hes gonna stay on 203 forever... poor him...

but good thing for him.. he can reach 1.025v undervolted.. wonder if it works on lower.. hahaa. gotta try out..

another question.. if hardware damage due to heating for overclocking.. eg.. fused?? warranty can claim??

i feeling like fusing mine and get a new set.. hahaa.. tongue.gif

my GPU doesnt seem to perform as good as it should be..

Najmods shud add the VIA audio driver website too..

just get to P-state tab..

select any profile.. then see the CPU Voltage.. set it to your preferences.. den apply

recommended 1.05v.. or u can lower it set by set.. according to ur preference.. when u get bluescreen on a certain voltage.. tat means it has reached its limit. so the voltage shud be the one a ladder above the voltage which caused the bluescreen.

the voltage has to be set everytime u turn on ur pc.. or restart..

Guys i am little confused here about the bios thingy. I am still using Bios 2.16. Didn't encounter any problems with this version. ( What is the problem actually?) Should i go for Bios 2.13 or just wait for future bios update.
*
hmm.. i had 216 too.. but kinda gave me a few blue screen.. so i switched back to 213.. and it seems to work fine.. so im keeping on 213...

basically theres no problem with 213 and 216.. just see which one is more stable.. and use it.. and of course.. if theres a future bios update.. use it..

if asus disable it purposely.. i guess no other option we can enable it..
this is totally new batch.. as IIRC my friend's k50ab came with linux OS.. mine don't have..

his' came with 3200, not sure though have stated on the sticker..
but mine just stated 4570..
*
ur fren's lappy is the first batch of k50ab which im having.. and yes it has 3200..

IMO... asus disable 3200 in the newer batches.. maybe they are unable to get a solution for the smooth switching..

i wonder why.. coz i thought just same part as k40ab besides the bigger lcd..
not sure though where went wrong on switching gpu..
*
might be the new batches of this AB series.. any friend who bought at the same time as u? they might be able to confirm..
if their model have the switching.. means ur set has hardware problem..

why not bring it to the shop and enquire??

Btw anyone tried playing GTA 4 with maximum overclock the GF??How's the FPS??I watch the youtube video that the guy can get 20 fps without OC.
*
GTA 4 is not playable.. with the proc we have.. graphics wont do much help... at the rate with amd fusion and stuffs.. i could only max up to 15fps...


Added on November 12, 2009, 1:00 pmso anyone tried the bios 218 already??

^

just download the latest driver from AMD website...

install mobility modder which u downloaded.. Disable UAC..

run the driver installation.. which normally extraction first.. after finish extracting.. quit the installtion.. open mobility modder.. browse to C:ATI:SUPPORT: so on i think... can modify..

after finish.. go to C:ATI.. into the driver folder.. run setup.. thats it..

Update:-

I still can't get my 4570 detected, so I jz go to BIOS(using 203, is upgrade recommended here?) and set display to dGPU...n rebooted, now ATIeXpress doesnt show anymore(I hate it anyway xD) and it is on 4570 now...

but 1 thing though...

although I have downloaded from webbie, even at ati modder site, it appears that my driver isnt updated as some1 here claimed they have above 8.6...8.7..

Here's mine:-

[attachmentid=1301708]

Im using Vista 32bit, probably this is the latest? i am yet to try out the newly installed driver, will try with Borderlands/F.E.A.R see if there is any significant improvement wink.gif

(currently sucking bad at Borderlands which I shouldnt, FPS drop even at 640x480, unbelieavable,hope my 1 night struggle worth it)
*
well.. my fren is having the same problem.. it seems like the bios 213 is the problem...
203 works for u right...

As promised, here is the picture. The fan connector has 4 pins, you only need 2 wires.

Disconnect it from the fan header on the mobo, use a long thin cable with very thin conductor that can fit inside the fan connctor like picture below
[attachmentid=1301481]

You only need to connect the red to +5V and black to ground on USB ports. The USB port pinout can be found here. Look at picture below how it connected to USB ports.
[attachmentid=1301482]

This entire thing is reversible of course, no cutting or soldering required on the fan connector so it won't void the warranty smile.gif
*
hmm.. so meaning like this?? we have to get ourselves a small thin (conductor) cable??

and also.. we wont be able to cover the bottom edi lor..
