The music you listen to in your headphones should capture all the sonic details the artist wanted you to hear. But normal headphones can’t deliver the rich, full sound in today’s digital audio tracks, especially not smaller, lightweight headphones. But Solos high performance headphones, which are designed for today’s active lifestyles, deliver sound so real, you’ll be amazed it’s all coming from something so compact & portable.

helo..i m a newbie here..just doing research on laptop..
now considering about Asus N53sn and HP dv6-6001...what makes u said that hp dv6-6001 is less problematic then N53sn...
Any problems happen to Asus N53Sn...?
I need all of your opinion..TQ~
*
IMO its too early to say that DV6 is less problematic than N53SN. ThisIsBoletaria got a dud battery, thats a problem i guess altho not quite a huge one.

i play again just now, the left palmrest get much hotter but max recorded temp is 76c. i think Shift 2 is not cpu intensive. what software can record the GPU temp?

Btw.. i'm getting similar 30-40 fps even with motion blur and shadow at max


Added on April 24, 2011, 12:28 pmok max gpu recorded is 69c.. but i've only play for few races.

Guys,i wanna ask something,this laptop uses automatic GPU switching ala optimus or manual switcing ala Acer 4820TG?Can you use drivers from AMD or you have to use drivers from HP to make the GPU switching available?
*
Its manual switching and u have to use the driver from HP. I tried installing the driver from AMD but its not working.

That's a bummer. blink.gif

Yeah.. i also hope we can update the display driver directly from AMD website.

Regarding GPU switching, i prefer doing it manually. I don't want it to automatically switch to HD6770M when i'm playing least demanding game like Warcraft 3, Heroes of Newerth, PES 2011, Trine, GRID, Dirt 2, Devil May Cry 4, Prince Of Persia, L4D2, Assasin Creed and few more older games. Configuring the display settings to use integrated graphic for all those game can be a pain in the hole. Most of the time HD3000 is more than enuff especially for mmorpg games. brows.gif

MSI Afterburner beta. U can get the link on my 1st post at the 1st page.

::editted::
heck.. this is the link tongue.gif

MSI Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta

You need to edit the MSIAfterburner.cfg file in your installation folder to enable it.

Replace:
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA =
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0
UnifiedMemoryUsageMonitoring = 1

With:
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0
UnifiedMemoryUsageMonitoring = 1

If you're a basshead like myself.. this headphone definitely will give u an instant audiorgasm. After u set the Beats Audio setting that is..

Did u guy check the GPU clock and running benchmark?
How long the battery life last for ?

Look like the temperature about 10 degree much lesser from mine, I tested when playing Need for speed 14 with max graphic setting that support my old old Dv6 laptop.
*
Why need to check on the GPU clock? blink.gif

Btw about the temperature, that only tested on 1 game. I don't have any game that both CPU and GPU intensive to test on. Temp result might change biggrin.gif

running benchmark is the best to test temperature and how good it's ~

nvm, take ur time. got the bottom picture of that laptop ?

I'll try to check the GPU clock and temp while running 3DMark11 tomoro.

Btw the CPU temp did go above 80c+ when i ran 3DMark11 before
