Can...

i c..

i'm using ati 5870.
is it more stable to OC the GPU using MSI afterburner compare to ATI overdrive?
Bcoz i always get BSoD when OC using ATi Overdrive.. ~~

can... it's similar to Rivatuner~

alrdy download msi afterburner but dun really know how to use it..=__=" anyone can guide me ?

Just slide and press apply ?

haha..cannot simply slide le..xD

Why ?

do u guys use laptop on battery and adapter together?or use either one only?

i heard that if using laptop on both supply it will damaged the battery

Its the heat, not the power supply that damage the battery...

dun matter... I just crank it up all the way everytime I need a performance boost~

+1. Not to forget charge capacity too.
Current laptop batteries (Li-ion) get damaged under high heat and constant full charge.

Hi...
Add me to the proud m17x owner list.

Thanks

As of conventional laptops with removable batteries, I usually removed the battery when I connect to AC power at home to avoid damage to the battery. but with M11x, without removable batteries, what is the best practice to preserve the battery's lifetime?..does the charger stop charging automatically when it's full?

Yes, it will stop charging once its full. Since the battery is non removable, try to keep the notebook as cool as possible. Air conditioned and dust free room with a powerful laptop cooler usually does the trick.

Then every few months drain the battery to around 40% then charge it again with the laptop off. My 4 years old laptop's battery is still working well following this method, it can still last 2 hours, comparing to the original 3 hrs when it was still new.

Thanks bluhound..but one more question. Which power source are actually used when the batteries are fully charged and AC power is on? Batteries or AC power?

Power is always taken from the AC cord. When plugged in, the power block provides power to both the laptop itself and a separate battery charging circuit.

That is why when you intensively use your laptop while the battery is below 80% and charging, the power block gets hotter than usual as it is powering both circuits at full power.

sad for me... from

ASUS G1 (Meh size) > Area-51 M17X (Big Size) > M17X (Big Size) > Clevo X7200 (GINORMOUS SIZE) > M11X (puny size)

means everytime full charged my battery d have to plug it out ?? how about the fn+f2 function for battery ?
So u means everytime i wanna overclock juz slide the bar in msi afterburner then press apply ,done ?? does it have any limitation or anything i need to be careful ?
