hei , anybody can tell me about s42 temp ??
this lappy will generate alot of heat ?

Well, i can tell you this...it will generated HEAT while intense gaming ...but not to the point that it heated much ...94C max load is quite hot right ...but for normal usage it cool as ice

Ok, as i promised last night but didn't get time to up it ...

Furmark test :

Added on February 3, 2010, 7:59 amI've run the Furmark for 10 minutes ..the temp for GPU (Graphic Card) shoot up from 68C to 98C in just 10 minutes

*with Xtreme Burning ...

Another thing is :

When you use the laptop just for surfing and working on stuff, it won't heat-up even after long use ..i know because my laptop rarely shutdown and i on it like for a week before letting it sleep for a couple of hours in weekend

Normal/idle temp would be 60~64C for GPU and 50~55C for CPU which is quite average

@verdang, its depends on two main factors lor... surrounding temperatures and driver version. Some drivers are more efficient than the default ones, eg 185.68/185.85.

You can check previous benchmarks to see temperature. (see front page)

@double
You use what driver?? ...still hogging the laptop for maximum hours

@monza: it seems like GPU temperature is maintained at 82C while folding, sometimes drop to 78C, like that...and as for CPU..dunno is because no multicore or what, ,maintained at 60C

btw, ur furmark resolution is what? i tried 800*600, i think 2x MSAA also, temperature maintained at 96C or 97C for 5 minutes...cannot further test cos still using battery, and don wanna kill the battery so fast, cos i still need to use lol..

Well, mine when folding would be around yours to max out at 85C once and constant at 76C iirc...i just use CPU one to fold and my CPU is around 57C like that ...

My Furmark reso at 1024*768 and 2x MSAA with Xtreme Burning Mode on ...mine maintained at 96C and goes up little by little

my driver i used for my old benchmarks (ie, not the dirt 2 one) was on 185.68. Still my favourite driver, since its the easiest to install... hahaha although its bad practice. Cause 185.68 is not a clean install.

Now i'm using the default driver by BenQ for Win 7.

@double
How about the temp for the official one?? Quite ok i guess for you ...i use it once and when i play NFS:S, the temp just goes up till 98C ..this is without any cooling device

haha mine never go that high peak for official i rmb is 88C

sad...last ntie went to watch legion...no time to test out the temp...
gonna do it tonite..
i would do a test running This in 720p when i am in linux mint~
cos i really dunno what else can stress when using linux..

Mr.Yap is extremely efficient~

I need help !!
How to used array or without to make
100
110

printed on the screen, These question make me whole night can not sleep >.<



hmm ... long time didnt used furmark ald ~

Why so long only resolved? Just send in your scanned receipt and mr yap will change the warranty date for you dy....

@dackson
That one really is ...later prasys will warned you again ...maybe you can msn lee or bbx instead ...

i fax the 1st time they didnt receive..
then i scan to them lo...
til yesterday i baru scan..

swt...dunno why like cannot post properly one..wanted to post something just now but got redirected back to main page...

yeah, flash cannot do stress test la, normally hardware decode doesnt stress GPU so much one..

off topic a bit..legion movie how? i heard it sucks from friends and internet

i wont play it on youtube, that one i downloaded..
if playing hd in player, wont stress the gpu also?
damn..i gonna find some other way to do it..
or just record a idle temp when in linux, heard people say it would be quite hot even when idle..

for legion, i made a review over here
i am a atheist, so i pretty much enjoy the film, haha

@BBX
Legion......its sucks!!!

Using flash to do a stress test is just ..that one cannot stress GPU much lor...need something like Furmark

Read your review there...quite nice review

@want: u see..folding, i don consider stressing GPU also, gives me a mere 82C on average...and HD playback, 1080p somemore, my GPU temp is just 69C...so u can pretty much get the idea of how much work ur GPU does la..
i even use EVGA Precision to trace GPU load, i think it's never higher then 20%

mm...
then i gonna try to find other software to run a test..
benchmark HQ got a few alternatives...
