better goto the shop if possible to ask & confirm. If not it might be hard if anything happens in the future. Anyway congrats on your new purchase

go back to the company to reissue it again for u... ASUS need to see it for any warranty claim...

Add me up on the family list!

Asus N55 i5 (Black)

Having hard time getting used to the keyboard layout lol.

Anyway, I just tried my very 1st game on this N55, Heroes Of Newerth(HON) finally, all at MAX settings, for the freaking first time I saw HON is actually a beautiful game hahaha....

1 thing though, my lappy is sooooo HOT! playing the game, hot till palm area, is this normal =.=...means I really need a laptop cooler lor like this...hot till feel a lil uncomfy.

alrite will do that tomorrow.....thnks...

nope...it's kirk hammet wih his flying v.but i got 1 though..non branded one, Dressed it up just like Gibson Flying V black/white.

note. most users here suffered from driver missing after uninstalling some games & programmes. usually is the Fn button, volume controls on the left side or the trackpad zoom, scroll & rotate not functioning. reinstalling the driver using the DVD provided will help. u can check for the list of useless softwares over on first page

I'm too looking for laptop cooler. but since Asus current notebooks have little vents on the bottom, i wonder if notebook cooler will make any differences in the real world, no one have done any real temperature benchmark on this 2 models yet i think

ya.. welcome to the jungle...

1. FIRST.. dont forget to BIOS 218 it (for n45sf only).. and NVIDIA driver 285.62 it..
2. uninstall the ASUS web storage to avoid any windows explorer trouble!
2. get any cooling pad machine.. and a good air-circulation..
3. when heavy gaming .. plug in power cable without battery (save battery life)! , n dont forget to set to P4G high performance/entertainment when playing heavy games..
4. get some system/hardware utilities such as the CPU, Frapp n GPU temp monitor .. you might need it to lifelong your hardware system..
5. enjoy the incredible hulk hogan vs ultimate warrior!..
6. dont forget your other daily tasks!!! hahahaha

hehehe..

haha, thanks thanks!

Okay, gonna go dl bios 218, and the 285.62. Doing it now

Question. Regarding directX, I only have D10 installed. Should I keep it this way or dl D11? does it even matter? Or only download when prompted (when some games are D11able?)

n55 dun nid change bios, n45 only need.

DX11 can install since you gonna game anyway lol.

I just got this at the PIKOM PC fair on Saturday and this computer is simply divine! It played my hi-def movies like a charm and so far has taken what few graphic intensive games I've thrown at it, mainly Team Fortress 2 and Tropico 4. The screen is magnificent and the don't get me started on the bundled sub-woofer.

I'm still getting used to the keyboard though.

Haha welcome to the boat.

The only thing that worries me, is the super hot temp now...

use the HWmonitor to see ur temp.

the palm area of n55 will get hot when gaming, but so far still ok for me.

If you get too worried about the temperature, u can use throttle stop. reducing the speed of CPU when it's turned on. Can aso be used to disable turbo boost

Guys, I just bought the N45SF yesterday from the pc fair. I tried to flash the BIOS to ver. 219 earlier this morning.
So I downloaded the bios from the support website and went into Asus Easy Flash from the BIOS.
Upon selecting the BIOS file, a message popped up saying something like "Bios update version does not match. Force to update anyway? (Y/N)" Then I thought, "It's from the support website anyway, might as well do it." -Presses Enter key on the "Yes" option- Now, I am absolutely sure that I have downloaded the BIOS from the correct model site.
All seemed fine, it was updating well. Until the "BB" part or something finished, the screen turned black but the lights were still on. So I waited for awhile, tried pressing keys, nothing responded. About 30 minutes later I unplugged the A/C Adapter and the battery, turning it off cause I thought it hanged or something.
Then when I plugged the A/C Adapter back in and pressed the power key, it didn't turn on.
Help would be appreciated on this matter. D:

While updating the BIOS I had my battery and A/C Adapter plugged in, by the way.

can ur lappy enter os now?
i dont know whether ur bios successfully upgrade or not?
if still can enter Windows, try get the 218 version instead n flash using the "WinFlash" app from the start>> All program >> Asus utilities ... file..

how to operate/use the throttle stop~ ?? can it reset the the cpu to its standard..? can u guide me wat should i press from the start?

Thank you

Haven't had any real problems with high temp yet so can't really comment on it. Perhaps you should get a notebook cooler?

make sure u have a 'tick' on your 'disable turbo' n make sure it's turn on. den if u wanna further reduce temp, u can tick on the 'set multiplier' n reduce it to maybe 20 or less. then you will see ur speed being reduced to 1.9GHz

ok..
how to reset it to my system default setting?
tq

is there an side effects on using throttle stop app?
