HWMonitor or OpenHardwareMonitor..

Don't think can..
Last time got see the pop up will be 3D with the ATK, with no ATk, it will show different pop-up, less fancy graphic..

i rather have nothing show up than suddenly a delayed pop up disturbing my view LOL

Then uninstall the ATK and use Windows Mobility Center to change volume and brightness..

isnt that going to stop the fn key to stop working?

Yup, no pop-up as well

does the media keys on the side work???

i mean, i wanna lose the pop up, and i dont mind having the function key not working... but i still want the media keys on the left side working

That one I'm not sure.
You can always kill the ATK from task manager and test the media key..

ei... much better!!!
gonna stop it from starting up XD

btw... is the screen brightness being limited?
after killing ATKOCD2 instead of a 3d pop up, a small pop up appears on the top left corner and it seems that brightnes doesnt go up after a certain limit

yeah, that's what I meant with less graphic..
Is it the same amount brightness level with the 3D pop-up ?

yes...
the gauge shown on the 3d pop up is lesser...
the 2d one shows a full bar but the slider just doesnt go up after around 70%

no wonder there's a big difference between this screen and my old vaio's screen

The most likely reason is the screen itself, not the software..

guess i will need to settle for less since i chose this model instead of the i5 version...
complaining alot regarding the resolution...

This is something shocking for me, I wasted my battery by this.

Before running the HWMonitor, my discharge rate was -10.3W
After running it, it hikes up to -23.2W
I close it then it drops back to normal.
LOL

^because it invokes the nVidia..

Oh, I thought it was just a simple - less power consuming program. My bad

It is just a less power consuming program, it just doing its job reporting nVidia temp but that defeats the nVidia Optimus purposes.
So better get something that specifically only monitor CPU temp like RealTemp or CoreTemp in battery mode..

Guys - Have a look what RAZER done to challenge you beloved N5 Series:-

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/26/razer-b...ming-greatness/

I have 2 options: going to buy (47%) or never (53%)
I think wait until Windows 8 release (totally support 3.0,.. blabla) at this time when we look at N55SF, it just a normal laptop

lol, looking at its price USD 2799, 3 times higher than Nx5 series, anyway the spec really amazing

Added on August 28, 2011, 7:22 amI think N55SF is so special especially the i5 version. It amazes me so much that the spec includes GeForce GT 555M at RM2699 also include subwoofer, HD+, matte etc u can buy the laptop and reformat it with win 8 then

anyway, it is also worth to wait, win 8, ivy bridge, next-gen nvidia, bla3

U can always format and install Windows 8.Ivy bridge and next gen Nvidia is scheduled next year.If u r not in a hurry and currently using a good notebook,u might wait.But let's say u wanna buy soon..how long u gonna wait?Ivy bridge and GT 7xx series come out..then few months later come out another 1 but with lower price.Another example would be mobile phone.HTC Desire HD juz came out not long,but now HTC Sensation.Few months later come out another 1.Technology is advancing so fast that we just couldnt catch up.

Asus N45/N55 SF is good enough given the price we paid.Rm2699 for HD/HD,GT 555M and core i5 2410 r pretty good.Not to say it comes with sub-woofer and the speaker is the Bang & Olufsen ICEpower.

If u wan a better notebook,sure..take a look at Alienware,Macbook and others.But the price that u r going to pay is not going to be cheap.
