Just changed my HDD to 7200rpm..

well.. I must say, Im quite impressed with the acess of the backpanel, I could see the CPU and the chipset of the motherboard as well.

Any picture?

the Heatpipes are quite long as well.. But the heatvent is made of aluminum. If its made of copper, it would be much nicer.

Guess the Core i7 really produce much heat...

yea. but temperature wise, Im more worried with the GPU instead.. haha..

are those heatpipes long? compared to other 16 inches?

or is it just me that I havent been playing with 16 inch laptop for quite sometime.

fuuuu.. nice easy access to the HSF there.

Open the bottom panel and blow fan there, temp should be good..
hmm, have a feeling seen an Asus 15'' with that long of heatsink, but it only have one instead of three

did not see the ram slots when opening up.. lol. didnt think of upgrading..

from pic it looks like 2 ram slots only.. not sure max supported thou.

Im using CM U2

^the furmark result, with U2 ?

yeah.. was with u2 93 degrees peaked.

my U2 is placed in the general area along the heat pipes but its covered with backpanel with hole vents covering the heat pipes.

10C higher than my GPU =.=

Yours is HD5650 right?

Older lol
HD4670

lol.. HD4670 was good performance graphics back then.. haha.. I guess AMD always run cooler than Nvidia..

Im not surprised it reaches 90C. lol

can the laptop turn on in "naked" state? it will be a lot less heat if you put the "butt naked" 620 on those chiplak Plastic cooler (metal conduct eletricity, might short the whole thing)

Yup..AMD always run cooler..=))!! 1 good point...but so far..i nvr burn any nvidia card..but i burn my HD3650>.< my usage is consider...kinda low usage d....

yeah.. I think stil can turn on with the backside opened up.. but I rather not do so le..
