thanks bro.lucky i dont update the driver.

anyone know why?

What version is your ACHI ?
Go to device manager, under IDE ATA/ATAPI controller,
Open AHCI controller properties, driver tab, what's the version ?

9.6.0.1014

Addicted in NBA 2K11.... Today will get a game pad to play it..

Yeah, do that,

last time tried to update driver from ATi site..

No display at all.

hmm.. battery care can read CPU temp or not? if both CPU and HDD also can't read, meaning u need to start batterycare as Administrator.

if only HDD temp not available, try using CPUID Hardware Monitor see if can read HDD temp... if can read, i think is just software glitch in battery care... (hopefully) nothing to worry about...

That version shouldn't have problem with temp reading...
hwmonitor can detect it ?

really enjoy with 4820TG..
game smoothly played...

cowithgun, playing game with Max temp around 80 is ok? just now i play NBA 2K11, max temp is 80. Actually wat is the max temp can consider overheat?

I would say 100C...

Then 80 still reasonable....

80 should be still OK. my GPU temp is mostly around 77 in heavy load, occasionally hit a few degree higher for short while.

while my CPU hit up to 89 during heavy gaming!

enjoying your notebook already?

hi bros,

I just purchased a 4820TG... I found that both cpu core temp load varies by 9c to 10c.. is this normal? Core temp should be pretty much consistant with a plus minus of 1~3c in diffrence am i right ?

tq tq

My personal review.

Stuff i hate.
a) Poor build quality, there's no solidness on this laptop. LCD lid built quality is totally hopeless, I had a bad feeling that I might wreck the panel in the future. It's just way to fragile for outdoor use lol.

b) The keyboard is a failure. It feels numb and dead just like those 10 year old jamed keyboard.

c) Poor wifi signal reception and max speed of 65Mbps for N ? yawann

d) Poor cooling system, perhaps a fan which could churn out more cfm then the current one might help.

Why the hell i bought this ...
a) Because it's cheap, 2600 with 3 year warranty.
b) The 8 hours hype.

wow, u got the 2 years extension for free? Why didn't you consider U41Jf then? It's just few hundred more but I guess would have better keyboard...

ATM, i'm pkaying my old games...
MW2, DMC4, AC2 and a few old titles..
planning to buy darksiders and Black Ops later..hehe

Hey guys and gals, Any good game recommend?

playing Black Ops on my 4820TG (HD 5470) started to be a bit laggy~ guess tat's d limit to my HD 5470~

Haiz~

time to OC xD

My temp difference is varies but always seem to be less than 5c... but if i run VMware (dual core optimized proggie), both cores have very close value, so i guess it's depending on the app you are running. in idle, it is always less than 5.

but i think there is nothing wrong having up to 9c difference.. just not common... i heard that the intel digital thermal sensor (DTS) is not accurate, it was meant to prevent overheating but no to tell accurate temp.

first, congrats on your new purchase! nice to see some review from your part too.

a) u must have very high demand for build quality. i m actually quite satisfy with the build quality, i used to own XPS1330 (which has good build quality too)

b) i hate the keyboard too...

c) the AR5B97 wifi card i have can do 300mbps according to here and here

d) although 4820tg only has 1 fan, but from what i gather in this forum the temp is quite nice too for both GPU and CPU comparable to 3820tg... what is your idle and heavy load temp?
