see the blue light?
sometimes it turns white and sometimes blue and sometimes blinks white and blue
what is it?

i think that is the LED light showing your system switching between nvidia and intel GPU. blue is nvidia while white is intel...

Double check with my friend. White is Nvidia while blue is Intel. The older N series like the N82 used to have a sticker that tells you what color is which.

blue light = intel hd then?

my A42JV cannot run 4v4 sc2 in medium settings.. soooooo lag

Haha I thought thieflord just mentioned blue light is nvidia gpu

huh?? blue is nvidia?? really??... not white meh?? cuz when i play metro then become white.. when on chrome only become blue..

Iirc, blue is for power saving and white is high performance so yeah. Blue is the Intel HD.

oh... i mix up... refer to the below link.

yeah triple confirm that blue is intel for power saving and white is using nvidia for maximum performance~

Temps while on standard usage i.e browsing, music, word.



Temps while playing Black Ops (Crysis 2 is PMSing at me now lol).

Not using any cooler??

So it's not just me then, a42 series heat management is damn bad.. Normal usage also can go up 60++

No cooler at all. Ambient temperature is at 26C.

The CPU and GPU is not the main concern, because it can tolerate much higher heat than that, what concerns me that made me sold my A42Je is the harddrive temperature, just look at that, 48-49C is not a good sight at all, mine could reach 52C when gaming.

To compare, on 4743ZG right now while browsing no air conditioner and balanced profile

Yes, it's not a seagate issue either.. My new SSD even runs in 38-48 range, a bit worrying lol..

tats kinda hot for idle temp..
anyways for future n53sv buyers here's a rough picture of the temps while gaming and normal use

NORMAL: web surfing , youtubing, lowyating
(no coolers)



and while playing games (black ops on max)




considering im in an air conditioned room, it's pretty cool ..

edit: thats the temp for the 1st 10mins xD

here's after 30mins. (sorry i couldnt play thru 3hours, having a major headache)
