mine bro, i just cant stand the heat, that's why i didn't play games much..

so this model timelinex 4830tg got the heat problem?

I just wanna ask, did any of you use this?





1) the skin protector
2) the anti glare screen
3) the TPU keyboard protector

i am thinking of buying it, wanna ask if got any user comment here?

technically its a normal heat from gaming, but I'm afraid if will affect my battery lifespan. that's all.

haha. its frustrating rite?? all da GPU horsepower, and we can use to the fullest!!!

happens on all 3830/4830TG timelineX. so, acer simply doesnt care. they still keep selling htese laptops. maybe they shudve gone to gt520m instead.
i feel da same as ur brother, cannot game satisfyingly!

DAMN STRAIGHT!! heat issues due to thin profile of the lappy

use it at the back. very shiny.hehehhe.

hey is 4830TG have option on i7? i really like the design, maybe go for asus sv since i7 on 14inch + GT540 only asus for now..

No i7 in Malaysia.
No consider Lenovo Y470 ?

icic...

curious, hav u did ur research regarding sandy bridge i5/i7 w gt540m? was wondering if asus's offerings w nvidia gt540m has da same heat issue as 4830tg? i did my digging but so far, no nvidia gt540m notebook experienceing da same heat issue.

^Thinkpad X220 got throttling problem with their CPU and that's with Intel HD..

any1 tried momentux XT? havent heard any news regarding new product for the momentus xt line...4GB ssd in the drive, i believe, is too small.

The 4B SSD is for cache...

^ yup. heard some issues of the mechanical part of the drive having trouble caching up. anyways, if i buy a thermal compound/grease, does the acer service centter technicans can apply it for me? sure hope can.not brave enuff to crack open laptop

Not sure with custom thermal paste...

A quick way to reduce the temp is to disable the Turbo Boost..

disable it in the bios or set constant multiplier at throttlestop? im guessing, 2.3GHz constant, wud b more than enuff to game rite?

anyhoq, found some tips on colling :

Just go to Power Option and reduce the maximum processor state to 99% and it will disable Turbo Boost..
or you can set 2 profile for ThrottleStop..

i,ve got no issue with heat since most of my time at the office with damn cool aircon, but seriously between i7 a43sv / y470 / or upcoming MSI??

how much for the whole set? thinking to get one

wut about gaming? i dont think ud be gaming in ur office.haha. unless, da office is urs da heat issue only happen while gaming.other than that, da laptop's fine.


----------------------------------------
on a side note, i found a HDD caddy for 4820tg laptops. how can i noe, dat the caddy wud fit into 4830TG's drive bay?and also, how can i take out the dvdrw? RARELY use it! it has something to do w thickness but not sure how thick is da drive bay.is 4830tg 12.7mm or 9.5mm?


this is wat i found so far :

- universal drive caddy 12.7mm - http://goo.gl/peoxo - kinda skeptical becoz it says IDE...not sure whether can get the original SATA2 speed or it operates at IDE speed.

- 9.5mm - http://goo.gl/MBPWl - loooks gr8.

the whole set is RM140. you can PM armourone if you wanna buy it.

did anyone encounter problem with the usb 3.0 port?
mine seems got problem, the device i plugged in will become not responding after few minutes of using,
like i plug in a 3g modem, the modem will disconnect itself, when i plug it out, the device manager still stated that my modem is still plugged in.
same goes for my iphone, but nothing happen when i use the port for pendrive.
after become not responding, i need to restart my computer
