How bad is the price for, let's say a Sabertooth x58 there? I find forking out RM800 for a board of that caliber very palatable.

I used Crosshair II and its the best investment I ever done on motherboard. It did give problems on first few months of usage but with constant BIOS updates and email report t get fixed and now its the perfect board.

This is laptop not motherboard, astria try to go off topic.... again. You have 18k post dude stop it.

Back on topic I used my old laptop cooler with three small fans blowing and its noticeably cooler but by not that much, about 2-3C cooler

The posts in this section are not counted anyways lol..

hi, i am currently using ASUS A52 JC, want to ask at why the hotkey to disable my touch pad cant work? others hotkey works anyway.Is there alternative way to disable my touch pad?

u mean want to disable the touch pad when u r using the mouse right?

go to control panel click on the mouse and on the ELAN tab tick "disable when external usb mouse plug in"

My hotkey works well, have you try reinstalling ATK Package? You could try dante method or if you wanted to disable it permanently there is a setting in BIOS to disable it

Hi~ anyone knows where can get the asus 14" chicklet keyboard protector?(Not the flat 1)

armourone on garage sales ?

Just updated to the latest BIOS, quite disappointed as battery life doesn't seem to have improved at all based on my discharge rate

I'm using my U45JC and it's new. The mouse touchpad works fine, but when I plug in my USB mouse that came with the laptop, the USB mouse is not detected. I tried plugging it into all 3 USB ports and they all don't seem to work, but the mouse works when i plug it into another computer. What should I do?

Does other USB device like thumbdrive works on the laptop?

Any difference in practical and real time use?

Done some testing between A42Je and A42Jr BIOS. I noticed the A42Je BIOS actually saves more power than A42Jr BIOS despite both have identical board and identical feature. Weird. I get about 15-25 minutes more with A42Je BIOS.

I dunno how to determine real time use cause I do different things all the time haha

Yes. Hooked my camera up to my laptop and it worked fine.

bought new U41J .. how to disable wallpaper change for Power4gear ? everytime i switch between the mode, wallpaper change .. very annoying

I decided to totally dismantle the A42J to see who make the horrid LCD screen and to my surprise is Samsung! My old k40AB uses AUO panel and looks miles better, color were more vivid, so does the contrast. The black in Samsung panel is more grey than black.
