huh exceed 100°C..
can boiling water..

o.o
i never get that temp even at non air conditioned room ler...
what settings u use? i cannot really remember my setting right now and i uninstall liao, i think looking at the settings menu again would help...
and looks like my heatsink bending was a success??

wow...can boil water and cook egg liao...still so hot in malaysia?

@mia: haha i get that temp when i play Dirt2.. Scary.. weather ain't helping either.

someone pls do heatsink mod...lol

Weather here in Sarawak is 34C at time i play BS2...room temp is around 29C i guess ...

@BBX
This is my setting ...

i played with vertical sync and shadow mapping off...but with on also, most is 96c wor...i got use this setting before

Yup, i played with this setting all the time but seems like today the heat just way off, wondering maybe the weather also the problem because today is way hot ...

Maybe because i use different driver?? Now using 197.16 ...Dox 195.62 is better with temp

@BB: you know how to open up the S57 to access the heatsink and stuff ? i might be interested to put in some of the small copper heatsinks.. haha. i wanna put some cooling gel also

lol miahahah i think got more to do with the driver you're using. If you switch to 195.62 see what temp you get? cause i don't think it can hit 100C

haha ^^..got volunteer to do the heatsink mods ...

I think so too but still, afternoon playing is ok ..i try change to Dox 195.62 and see what happen ...

sorry, nope. but i think all laptops are disassembled with similar method la, take off the upper front panel(power button part), take away LCD, detach keyboard, detach upper casing, unscrew all the inner screw, then the mobo can come out liao...

but unless you are willing to take the risk, i suggest not to..
and just another finding that i would like to advice...since normally laptop heatsinks would have gaps around ~1-2mm, it's always suggested to use thermal pad instead of thermal paste, but adding copper heatsink would most likely help...

one thing that really bugs me..dunno s42 can trully fit in those copper heatsink a not, cos as i recall the remaining space from mobo to casing aint that much also...

Added on April 12, 2010, 8:58 pm@mia: his result sadly say cannot really represent s42..haha

this week imma going pc fair, so maybe grab a few heatsinks from there maybe...hehe

need to see how first, if the GPU ram cooler really cannot fit, then i'll think of something else...

hm hm, removing the LCD... that part sounds scary. If you can post picture guide next time you open up your baby, that would help alot man.

no la..that means unscrew the whole LCD part nia...no need to open up the LCD

i tried last night, still couldn't detach the keyboard man....

Halo, a little help ... whats the latest suggested VGA driver for S57 now ? gonna do a format now ... thanks a lot ..

ATI driver.. always download da latest online from ATI website loh.. mobility 10.3 for now. supports graphic switching..

hahaa.. i want a s57!!

..you should have search for S57 instead of S42 ...well, maybe you can sell of your S42 & get S57 instead but do remember that S57 now is RM3299 which with that money you can buy Lenovo Y460 ...

y460 has i5 instead of p8700 \^o^/

Yup, that's why i suggest take Y460 instead ...
