Was thinking when i just normal surfing and document. I can turn the OC off to enable better battery life, i think it reduce heat too? Just turn it off today, only notice start up will have 1-2 second slower.

Just turn it off today, only notice start up will have 1-2 second slower.  probably it would save up on battery life? but don't think it will be significant though. think most of the heat are from the GT335M. why don't you give it a try and let us know the result? my M11x is more like my desktop these days. only carried it around once since purchase.  p/s: you used a stopwatch for that?

Currently using alien brain stop watch.  i will use stop watch to measure it, as for battery life. I never have a full test with OC on yet, m11x never fail me on battery life. I never have a time that the battery is lower then 30%. Btw did you try the A03 BIOS update?

Btw did you try the A03 BIOS update? do post the result here. tested the other day with WiFi, integrated graphics and 50% screen brightness, it managed to last me for almost 6.5 hours. and that's on OC. prolly 7 hours if non-OC?  nope. sticking to A01. the 'constant-spinning' fan issue didn't really bother me anyway. plus, with various issues reported on NBR, i shall wait. are you on A03?

I hear they say A03 did not fix the FN+f2 function, even its stated So no point to update with the Jet plane fan speed. I will run a test with same setting with non-oc. If i have a chance to use 7 hour m11x with battery. This post has been edited by ff8ong: May 24 2010, 11:50 PM
