Thanks lee. You could set everything in advanced power setting. Just open the menu one by one and test it yourself

ooo..thx u 4 da help

What kind of cooler pad did you guys use with your A42J? I still haven't used any cooler yet.

no need cooler la, even max load it won't heat like other notebook, just use 2 poker deck to jack it up will do

I agree somehow, yes it is very cool as compared to my old laptop. Never hang, never have any issue with it. Temperature never exceed 70C even when playing GTA IV. And of course I raised it slightly so it get cold air. Just wondering what you guy use

Can you post up your GPU-Z screenshot? I wanted to compare to mine

No cooler at all, flat on the table. Doesn't heat up that much, even when using on the bed. Btw, I noticed that the A42Jv and A42Ja have a larger heatsink and fan.

Air-Con Room Flat on Table
Idle
CPU:~46C
GPU: ~47C
HDD: ~40C

Load (Starcraft 2)
CPU: ~65C
GPU: ~65C
HDD: ~47C

Non Air-Con Room
Idle
+4C hotter each

Load (Starcraft 2)
+3C hotter each

y my a42ja when run full screen on videos...will hang...jus except for utubes and pps...nt to mention i play cityville in full screen sure hang...y...T.T

You have opened your laptop?

Thank you, it looks like its only A42Je GPU have slightly underclocked memory speed but luckily it overclocked like a dream Temperature is roughly the same as mine, except HDD is hotter about 3-5C

Nope, but the vent is actually larger than the other versions to the fact that it actually bulges out of the body.

guys. i duno wat i did. but y my webcam pitch black?

I change my hdd to samsung 500gb 5400rpm tat's why slightly cooler, still haven't have the budget for 7200rpm

This Seagate drive isn't really fast, but freaking hot. When I fit my other backup 2.5" 250GB 5400rpm inside the temperature is pretty much the same

Can show some screenshot?

SO when's your turn to change HDD?

I don't OC on this baby becoz I don't play SC2 anymore, busy working with design artwork hahaha

I dunno, thought I might not upgrade anything. Better to collect money and upgrade my desktop. Starcraft 2 is damn addicting, my head hurts playing 8 hours straight

is asus a42jc recommendable?since the price is ok.how bout the review from users
thanx

Just wondering, most A42 models dont have a mic out jack is that correct? I was actually planning to get A42JC till i found out it doesnt have a mic output, (doing some recording) =( any other recommendation?

Why are you guys even considering a42jc? Up the budget for a bit u guys can get laptop with much better GPU..

My gf's laptop hv this prob, which is black screen after "Starting Windows: screen

desktop is not coming out after the screen. after restart everything backs to normal. anyone knows wat happen?

laptop is Asus A52JC

ori thread i just try my luck over here. hope some body can help me.

I'm ding some experiment with my laptop. First change the BIOS to A42Jr BIOS, it works! But thats to be expected since both basically use the same mainboard, its written A42Jr on the PCB.

Secondly try to get the Intel HD IGP to work, I get it detected in Windows but I get code 43 error, maybe there isn't any MUX to switch between both cards
