Refer to double method in 2nd post in first page...or maybe you can refer to blindbox copied method from double just few posts up

haha ^^...yup, need to remove the LCD first before prying it open..if you pry it by force, sure will break one ..

Seems like can do much with that setting while playing JC2...96C over 40 min is considerably good and stable..any flickering while playing??

Try medium setting with native res??

@double
65C for GPU....well, that kinda normal for MY climate..mine here in air con room can get 58~60C....normal temp room would be 63~65C

Better set the increment bits by bits...much more safer that way..i also do the same thing and see which high value can be use ..

@BBX
What your temp while playing BS2 on native res??

Added on April 12, 2010, 10:03 amWell, after trying multiple of drivers on LV2G...seems like none can beat Dox for lowest temp while gaming..now on 197.16, temp while playing BS2 on native res is 97C for GPU ...before this using 195.62 (Dox) for a merely 94C ...maybe i try changing to Dox 195.62 again later and see if the temp improved ...

@BBX
That one using Dox modded i assumed ..well, your temp is like-wise mine lor ..

Hey guys,guess what...just now i played BioShock 2 with medium setting (all) and native res, guess what temp i get....no fan, no air con...i just elevated my laptop a bit (maybe around 4 cm)..the temp peaked @102C ...just played for 20 minutes and the temp just goes to 102C static ...

btw, default clock no OC ...guess the weather does take impact too

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

@BBX
This is my setting ...

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

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 ...

..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 ...

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

Ok, just an update for my GPU temp...just a while ago i play BS2 in a room with temp around 20C (well, its cool and breezy in my office )...change the driver to Dox 195.62, and my temp while playing is 87C max...never exceeded 90C, at most maybe will peaked at 89C for just a moment and then go down to 87C...good ...

Where have you been??

Room temp is the main factor here..later i try in my house with room temp @29C ..

Guys, i think my laptop gone berserk ....idle CPU temp is 62C ...while GPU is 60C ..how can this be ...and also, my RAM just heated way HOT, i think like GPU hot when running GRID

haha ^^...my friend also got one Aspire One (the first batch that also looks like a brick )...

Yes, my thought as well..i think because of the aspect ratio of 16:9 makes it look fatter & shorter...but Acer really good at this as the Notebook looks slim and nice..same goes with 4740G/4745G and others, though they have the same 16:9 ratio...

A normal DVD player will do ...no need for a HD player..

Batusai,

1. Battery cannot charge, common problem for S57...any S57 owners encounter this once, just send over to SC and they will fix it (iirc, they will change the MOBO)

2. Battery life on S57, the least you can do is 2 hours plus, tweak a bit then maybe you can get around 3 hours

3. We here all experienced BenQ RMA, so far for me, its quite ok compare to others, not that bad

4. S57 got no HYBRID function, only ATi HD4650 for the GPU, there's no Intel GMA like S42

5. S57 won't have the HEAT PALM REST problem as iirc, the GPU are located at somewhere on the left upper side and the HDD is lower right side...and also, S57 is 15.6" which is better in cooling (much more space) compared with S42

Batusai got a lot of spare money to spend on ...just few months using S42 then change again ..maybe after this seeing N61Ja with good price, he will change it again
