NP7180 Comes with a 3D screen biggrin.gif its an awesome choice compare to 17 inche of m17x - of corz experienceing game with GTX485m Will be awesome ! i wish np7280 could get an update like this also !!! lol alienware should think about his m17x now, even though they put two GTX460m, it will be at least same or lower than a Single GTX485m performance ...

yeah but its with np8170s1 ! right? but it worth for those who wanna play with 3D screen, if i wanna buy i would get it with 2920xm and max ram and gtx485m and so on ! it would be awesome and truly better than other asus and alienware machines biggrin.gif

But anyway ! using a express card slot of np7280 is so rarely , for myself there is no use at all ! i'm think i goona replace my ordered i7 970 with my desktop cpu which is 990x, fortunately i ordered np7280 with additional adapter and other stuff ! 990x make no7280 a real Monster OF Performance....gotta buy some ssds instead of the 80gb !!! lol

You want to replace ori CPU?

perhaps ! just a think in mind ! haha...my desktop using two GTX480 plus 990x --- i was wondering changing 990x with 970 in np7280 ! but seems much work to do, 970 is enough for a laptop ! looool i guess 990x in np7280 will really drain both power adapters... .

wow man, seeing u having a monster desktop and a monster lappy, u are definitely not from an average family, u are damn rich. lol. Also, 990x is too damn expensive for now, i am waiting for the prices to drop. oh ya, i heard from other forums tat if u having dual crossfire 6970m, u dun really need 2 power brick. For now, mostly the power brick is for nvidia graphic due to those 2 power hunger card. lol
*
hahahah....! you should be also ! np7280 is not a cheap machine even in basic setting ! but it worth somehow for those who working with CAd and so on, 990x is a real boost up with having SSDs and so on (not for purpose of gaming actually,mostly for programming and so on)...hopefully the price would drop for Extremes at q4 2011 if the new sandy bridge extreme CPU would lunch,...actually, if u check even Notebookreview forum you would notice there are people who are using gtx48m sli plus 990 with aadapter and there are not probles cuz they are not GAMING biggrin.gif ! i know with 990x you will need extra adapter anyway for gaming, specially for overclocking , extra adapter may keep the laptop more stable compare with a single adapter, but i just take it becuz perhpas if later i upgrade my desktop to sandy bridge, so i will replace 970 with 990x ! biggrin.gif regarding you well noted about 6970m, yes its correct, but there were issues with 6970m crossfire at full load, i saw and i asked it at notebookreview forum and they ok it !with some games like metro 2033 and crysis 2 and many benchmakrs there were power brick issues so even sager websites recmmoneding to user of this cards use the second adapter (offering a cheaper price than normal) to avoid any little issues ! so why not we avoid it !
BTW dun forgot take pictures from you lappy once u received it !

haha, sure will take some photo + seriously pimp carbon fiber sticker. Now i am actually wondering, where to get a cheap 990X processor. For the SSD, i wanted vertex 3 but then 7280 only support sata 2. It gonna be a waste of money getting that ssd. For graphic, i stay at single card till maybe nvidia launch gtx 580m, then maybe i will consider 2 card sli.
*
what is advantage for sticking that carbon fiber exactly ? mabey can find 990x second hand actually somehwere in lowyat ! i'm not sure, i got mine in us for 999$ exactly (original price) - but if u are only gaming its actually useless, its not gonna dd up any noticeable frame to your game ....but its still worth for me having ssd for boosting the speed smile.gif i love speed ! haha yeah GTX580m ! not sure when they gonna release it, i think now its time to release the low-end cards of this series, like 400 GT or GTS or 500 GT or GTS so on, but they already revealed gtx560m which in not very interesting for us ! biggrin.gif

lol, for me, the advantages that i can list out for sticking carbon fibre is actually protecting the coating of the pain then prevent it from scratches. I got an old acer laptop which i pimp it after i get it, then after 3 years of using, when i wanna sell it, i can remove the sticker and it looks brand new, mean can sell for higher prices even it is second hand.

for the graphic card ah, i mean since our notebook is classified as desknote, they should actually release a even more powderful graphic card for us to use xD
*
loool so thats y ! hahaha, i usually sell my laptop to family friends ! hahah better lah biggrin.gif they dun care it scratched or what ! haaha, BTW it makes laptop ugly ? i wont like to do that ! haha...but if it wasnt brushed almunum stuff it could be better, i sold my m17x after 1.5 use, it was like pretty new one, still keeping my m15x after 2 year alsmot ! its ok lah ! but yeah previously my Dell and MAckBookAir really destroyed by scratches ! haha

haha our desknot is the most greedy laptop ever ! BTW, if we are having a GTX485m SLI or 6970m Cross plus 12gb ram pushed to 1300mhz plus SSDs and lol 970 or 990x ! as if we really have a desktop but small, however even the mobility of it is so bad!!! i guess, at least sure for 80% performence of these cards in dual mode is equal to GTX570 or 6970 desktop version, so plus the other stuff and having a actuall desktop cpu insted of mobility cpu ! no worry biggrin.gif better called Dekstop in small size smile.gif) haha no worry to run the games.... rclxms.gif i hope i can get i faster ! wanna play The Witcher 2 on maximum settings on bigger screen than 15 inches drool.gif all the dream may become tru by np7280 drool.gif haha ! good - we advertising so much for np7280 , anybody except us? haha

lol, nono, i mean the carbon fibre sticker, i can cut the sager word and paste on the back of the screen so tat it can glow cause got light ma. But games like crysis ah, the online game normally suk le. Have u try prejudice? i had bought the game just tat i haven install since i have got the lappy yet. Prejudice is going to be a very very nice game. Also, not sure can 485 support deus ex game as the requirement too damn high
*
oh i c i c, now i understand about it ..... no i didnt try the prejudice, i used to play guild wars only as online games (MMORPG) now w8ting for second one to be released, i'm nostly FPS shooter online type and single-player , no worry, 485m will support deus ex games, eventhough at highest setting, u may leave the AA off or any other heavy effects, it will be ok, as if you got a GTX460 desktop, so no worry, even can run crysis 2 at maximum setting 1080 at 30 FPS, so no worry for deus ex ! i think sli or cross gonna rock really in this game, currently i've installed the witcher 2 on my m15x but i am more interested to play on wider screen rclxms.gif

yeah, i need to install, do troubleshooting, make sure everything is flawless. Then i need to check the temp on every core, if possible, change a better thermal paste and recheck the temp till i manage to get the best temp. Also, i need to adjust my fan on my U3 cooler pad. After all the software install, testing, blablabla, then i need to backup the C drive into a big image file. After that, i need to install back all the games i purchase through steams then try the games at max setting and see whether is there any prob. Then then, still got a whole list of things to do D: Oh ya, i forgot, need to pimp my lappy.

well, taking care of lappy is not an easy task!  sad.gif

i just run the system diagnostic and check the temp by bechmarking of metro 2033 !970 is more ok than the 960 due to being 32nm...i think there wont be any heat problem hopefully biggrin.gif ....i've used the Diamond Thermal, i 've used on my pc too and its quiet ok lah ok lah !!! . u know i dun use cooler pad, it makes me work with lappy uncomfortable - but every other now and then i manage to clean the inside, my room temp stasy 22 ! good for overclocked systems biggrin.gif @ hehe - yeah installing is the most horrible part !!! specially games and only plus microsoft office , adobe and corel and osme convertor all would be enough ,,,no worry 485m can handle all the current games maxed out, only exceptions would be crysis and metro 2033 as u can check over the notebookcheck also....haha u have much to do more than me llahh, important for me ! just to c Display is good, bluray drive check, movies ready !!! start to watch hehehe ! i purhcased much of bluerays from singapore and they left useless almost, till np7282 arrives ! good, i got a 2tb usb3 hdd external and one ssd to set up, i can move files very very fast and finish all the tasks faster .... then np7282 !! is ready to rocck on the table for me smile.gif)

yeah seriously its hard workkk to take care of laappyys ! agree, as if you are taking care of a LV bag ! lol, more expensive biggrin.gif biggrin.gif also

i am getting 6970M crossfire, i'll post the temps here later after i got my lappy, i will check with futuremark , 1 hour gaming and idle, should be enough to c the temp running ok lah ok lha smile.gif ---but usually my room tempt is running 22, my m17x 6970m running at idle is running at 55 and max at gaming 70...not more than that, so its ok i guess...

So, your m17x with 6970M only runs max 70? Very good temp there.  smile.gif

yupz max is the 70.....its good, yupz i am wondering two how np7280 will perform with two GPU also hehe

yeah.. i felt like high tech dumbell. the power brick.. really speechless.. so damn big, 1 sager power brick = 6x65watt power brick size. and my carbon fibre only enough for the cover, not the touch pad.. sad
*
hahaha !!! C the power brick and adapter are so big ! and i am getting the additional one to make sure nothing gonna happen ! so it actaully very monstrous....haha yep so happy you got your lappy, make it ready faster ! gaming on - yep actually it weights around 5.8 to 6.1 depend on what u have seted up in also .... haha i told u before its very bigger than a normal lappy , biggest disadvantage is there is no mobility for it, thats y i didn sell my macbook air , its useful 100% now beside the ipad.....but np7280 is awesome really, it delivers a real power to you

not only tat, the temp is scary. Btw, i change my thermal paste to tuniq tx-2, was wondering which thermal paste is the best for now ah?
*
u purchased you laptop with standard thermal or diamon or any other option that resellers are offering? becuz generally people who purchased with Diamond thermal they didnt have any temp problem, check your temps and post here, shouldt be very high, unless you core i7 960 will produce much heat mabey, not sure, cuz basically 990x and 970 have lower heats due to being 32nm....

i purchase normal stock thermal paste then i change to tuniq tx2, i dunno got time to benchmark my desknote or not as i am still trying to make it stable because of those weird stupid driver and software that they provided.
*
y u didnt get the IC thermal, its very good lahh, usualy people will change their thermal once they need to upgrade their GPU and change the old heatsink....btw later on if u got time post some temps, i will post here once i got my lappy also .... BTW what programs they
ve included with your laptop?

Ic... so, most 6970M hover around 60-80 then...

Have u test furmark yet, to see whats the highest it can get?

Anyone OC their 6970M? heard that it can OC to 20% easily without much heat increased?
*
i've tested future mark with m17x - 2820qm and 6970m , the temp max i recorded were 77, not more, basically till up2u 80 is fine more than that its something wrong with temps and and lappy
yep u can overclock it , but u will need to cycle fans also, or on np7280 keep the fans at high whole the time, yeah i saw in notebookreview the temps was changed only 5-6 degree loool no sure anyway, i will try myself to overlcok 970 and both 6970Ms

QUOTE(Keenxlimit @ May 24 2011, 08:06 PM)
Have been so busy with work nowadays. I have some questions!
How often do you guys clean your fans? My previous dell, I have not cleaned it even once in 5 years, and its noisy as hell. Now after approx 1~1.5 months, my temperatures are slightly higher by 2~3 degrees.
*
u can clean it with air or open and clean, generally its no problem ! me , too i ever cleaned my m15x only once after 2 years...nothing happen, but u can clean the fans easily per a month
