ya it is better than 5400RPM but it more power consuming and it cause more heat.

Yup, since laptop HDD performance are almost the same (+-10MB)
Not enough $$ for Momentus XT

yupe im using N45.. xD hahaha

Hi i have a N55 i5 version. I notice the wireless signal is quite weak compared to other laptop. Anyone having the same problem? How do i solve this problem?

Btw the wireless card is Atheros AR9002WB-1NG and the driver is 9.0.0.222.

Thanks for the help. cheers

Guys, what are your comments on the temperature of N55SF? Does it get hot? Cause I'm planning to get a cooler pad for it.

Also, if I charge it for long period of time will the battery life get shorten?

Dear N45SF users,



Good news!



We have already rectified that the GPU underclocking issue was due to graphic card related. Our technical team is working out a new BIOS which schedule to be released before next Friday (16 Sept). User will thereafter require to upgrade their BIOS in order for the notebook to work properly.



P/s: This new BIOS is different than the previously suggested BIOS 215. The BIOS version shall be revealed prior to the release date.



Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.



Regards,

ASUS Malaysia

I am using N55SF core i5 but so far no wireless problem.I am not sure exactly wat's ur problem.

The temperature for mine is N55SF core i5 somewhere around 35-45 celcius for CPU and 40-50 celcius for graphic card during idling.For gaming,it reaches 45-85 celcius for CPU and 50-80 celcius for graphic card

I lol'd. 55 celsius on CPU while gaming? No way. My reaches 88 celsius on CPU and 80 celsius on GPU while gaming. And its physically impossible to get 55 on CPU while on GPU is 80 because of cooling system construction.

Maybe yours' defective.
Mine have no problem compared to another Intel Centrino Wifi chip.
This lappy wifi chip signal even comparable to my WifiSky 2000mW 10dBi for consistency

Sorry it was a typo Haha,sounds funny to get 55 on CPU but 80 for graphic card XD The correct one range is 45-85.But i've never reached more than 85 when gaming.Even with Deus Ex Human Revolution.Perhaps my aluminium cooler helps a bit in dissipating heat.I dunno

I do folding@home gpu client all night long, full usage all day, no throttle, my temperature never go more than 75C. 75 is highest and always like a few second then drop back to like 74 or 73 like that

Will you experience screen flicker after a long term usage?
In my whole day from morning 8AM until late night 12am, the screen start flicker a few times every hour.

nope, no problem. I running it on power saver mode, no battery. All night long never off also. Max 75C. If i turn off my display it stays at about 70C only. I'm using cooler master U2 btw

is ur ram brand same??? and the specs too???

I experience it in power saving mode and I do not know what is it probably setting the brightness with what is in it because when I do not change the anything there is no screen flicker.

It's very weird, sometime the problem there will in power saving mode, lowest brightness
Maybe is happen when switching to nvidia. Gonna test more

No for me it is not rare just when I put the laptop in power saving mode it start to set the brightness for every page which I open I think.
@Kevin If can test it but the room must be dark to see it better and you must use battery.

I sure is no relationship base on so many year experience on lappy
I never stress the lappy, running on CM W1

ic, maybe i have that problem too but i dunno, coz i really seldom use battery. Just adapter and without battery

It happens on me when only adapter.
Gonna investigate further
