hi, where to download asus A42DR driver? because at asus support site, dont have the driver for this model, tq

hunt them urself...

know wat the maker of the hardware and go download from the respective support site...

ok, got it, but the asus utility software? the other like vga, sound,wlan and lan, can find at the respective vondor site.

well, i guess u can juz download it from other models...

honestly i think only Power4Gear Hybrid and Splendid Video is useful...

really? I thought you have to pay..haha

Hah.. Now my lappie using U2 Cooler now lol.. I helped my bro to buy for his XPS 1530 which have heating issues but it doesn't work for him as good as the X-lite which I bought last month... So he wanna substitute with me LOL...

To be honest, U2 isn't as amazing as I thought it would be.... Doesn't help much also...

so guys since the A42JV only comes with one slot for the audio out, any other way to get mic plugged in also? i saw steelseries mobile adapter but that cost around rm79 so im thinking bout cheaper alternatives. thanks

for that price I think you can get a decent USB microphone lol

Did you put directly at the intake? another fan should directly under hardisk. Seems like HDD is dying for A42JV.

how about D.I.Y one cooling for A42JV
but CM always need to stay at air cond room , so that its can maximize the effective on cooling ....

if normal room , wont help so much de

CM Coolpad U2 is consider as DIY because you can put fan almost everywhere.

Not sure if putting about USB fan to suck out the heat at the heatsink there is beneficial ?

Well, they do sell individual (additional) fans for the U1, U2 as well as U3
The cooling effect of the CM U series would differ from laptop to laptop imho. My Qosmio has LOADS of heat vents underneath, which probably explains why the cooling is so good

Not much with A42JV....

there's 3 on N81Vp

1 on the HDD, 1 on the GPU, which let's the fan suck in the air, and passes by the CPU as well, and 1 on the DVD drive...

no idea y there's on for the DVD drive though...

guys , my fren suggest me use vacuum to sucks out the dust
but i worry it will harmful and risk

any one can tell me about this ?

that is the lazy alternative of opening up the cover and vacuum...

i always do that... max power...

and i mean using the normal household vacuum cleaner, not the rm10 USB one...
