nah,if u install Window with 64 bit (i assume) then the lappy cant use the switching mode of Graphic card.

When i try dual boot with Window Vista,it possible to switch,i guess ASUS didnt support this lappy for Window 7 or 64 bit i guess.

Simple, just remove the fan connector, connect the red (power) to +5V on USB and black (ground) to ground USB. Check USB pinout here
I hope so, I live at Kota Damansara. Maybe on weekends, but not this weekend

oo i read your reply way back page there but i still dont understand which wire need to re-connect,maybe you can guide us using a sketch or video to enlighten us abit??

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

So i just need to switch the wires??nothing else??

thanks for the guide!

btw is it me the only one having my catalyst revert back from 9.9 to 9.7 after installing Update from Window 7 important update for GC HD4500 series??

hmm?? u tried it out and it works?? anyone here??

yup,its work perfectly.No need to install those mobility modder anymore.

QUOTE(Najmods @ Nov 13 2009, 08:22 PM)
Yes, just use the wires, and if you don't like it just put it back to its fan header
Yes, just get the thin cable, you can buy it from electronic store

I run my lappy without backpanel 98% of the time, the only time I put it back is when I used it in class
*
oo okey thanks,i try it on my lappy tomorrow.

anyone of u guys have tried NFS:Shift on this laptop?

i tried with full (1366res)max setting = less than 3 fps lol (totally unplayable)
                      (1280res)med setting = less than 10~11 fps (big ouch)
                      (1024res)low setting  = not more than 15fps

800x600res (cheapest) = not more than 20fps...

so, this game is totally unplayable for my k40ab ^^; thank you
*
wth,something wrong with your lappy,mine can get until 25fps ^ with 1366 with High & Medium setting.

Maybe u didnt OC your HD4570 & use AMD fusion??

This is the default engine/memory i checked through AMD GPU clock...

its soooo low right!!?

when i refer to page 1 najmod's config to put as 700/600..it says config failed. sad.gif

[attachmentid=1306868]

is this the reason why NFS Shift is totally unplayable for my k40?

Try OC it bit by bit until u get artifact gra[hic on your lappy,that will be your maximum OC for your card.Different ppl getting different maximum performance of OC,such as me can get 730 on Engine but Memory only 590.

Okey guise/girls,i have few question.

1st,which one that mostly affect the performance when overclock the Graphic card,is it the Engine or Memory clock???

2nd,i try download Audio driver for Window 7 at ASUS website,after restarting the laptop,there is no sound on my speaker & the lappy.

i try tweak around the setting but could not solve the problem.....at last i just uninstall it back.
