QUOTE(Batusai @ Oct 27 2009, 09:24 PM) as the previous posts said... overclocking the CPU will be useless.. if overclock the GPU according to TS? i am a little bit unfamiliar with the terms 'till it artifacts' etc. does artifacts mean damaged?for GPU.. depends on how much u overclock.. thats a weird question ur asking.. if u are going to buy the laptop.. charger and adapter will be provided.  im planning to get additional charger and adapter, particularly for traveling, while the existing one stays at home  |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Nov 2 2009, 01:07 AM) I fed up with the low fan speed and started to measure the fan voltage, it turns out the maximum voltage is 5V, exactly the same as what USB is supplied, easy task for me mind providing detailed instructions? thanks. I tap the fan power connector and connect it to USB via a thin single core wire (no soldering and cutting required) and it runs unbelivably cool even when playing Crysis! I trying it now, it wont even reach 60C even with GPU clocked to 725/615MHz when I alt-tab to Windows. Its noisy of course, but now this laptop is ready for heavy gaming |

Hello guys.
When i run Warcraft3 or COD World at War, theres some sort of black void at both left and right of the screen, width about an inch each. Changing the resolution setting does not eliminate it. There is no such problem when running Prototype. I currently use windows 7 32-bit. Installed 9.9 modded catalyst doesn't seem to solve the issue. Doesn't hav such problem when i was on Windows XP previously. Any help guys? thanks. |

QUOTE(kuroda1226 @ Nov 24 2009, 09:17 PM) i ply prototype but i cant full screnn fit size to my screen...it jz like other ppl say like ply dota in win7 that mode... my war3 screen issue is resolved by widescreen gaming guide.Added on November 24, 2009, 9:31 pmthan how abt mine d?normal?... for CoD WaW, i adjusted the resolution like others suggested. I guess Prototype full screen can be adjusted with resolution also. if 1366 x 768 will cause lag, try lower widescreen resolution like 800 x 600 (or is it 480?) otherwise, reinstall. good luck. |

Hey Najmods. How much you sold it for?
Btw mine is occasionally go into "static" screen after loading windows. It happens when I on the laptop, then the loading windows screen, then when it supposedly be the login screen, the static happens. Why is that? The static is like the one on TV after broadcasting ends, but with colours. Have to restart my laptop each time that happen. Why ar? |

Btw guys, I'm thinking of letting go my K40AB coz I don;t think I'll do much gaming in the future. Thinking of getting a netbook. Any recommendation? I'm thinking of getting one with the new AMD proc. Bobcat or something if I am not mistaken. Any insights / comments / ideas / recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank you. |
