Greetings all... =) I will be glad to start an official N45/N55 Club V4... Sorry for late posting (kinda busy recently) but then i read thru all the post in v3.. will provide all the information i can in v4... If you have any information, or anything you want me to share on the first page, please pm me... thank you

Well. For N45SF users, you should flash the bios...

download the BIOS file:

NEW BIOS

start button>search "winflash">flash the bios file.





All rite.. Let's start with appearance.. There are two colours... white one and black one (Unsure that white will be available in Malaysia )
We have to admit the design is elegant, almost noble is not that bad. The Asus N55SF is made out of a blend of materials such as hard plastic, aluminium and rubber. The black glossy plastic is proved to be too dust and fingerprint friendly. Opening the lid reveals the full-sized keyboard. At first glance it may look like aluminium but the keys are made of plastic and painted with a special coat that should last long enough. You’ll find aluminium just about the keyboard where the speakers are placed. The perforated aluminium grill looks good. The power button is now a part of the keyboard and that took a while to get used to. We also had to get used with the multimedia keys placed on the first left column. If you get past these details the keyboard is really good. We didn’t experience any typing errors and the writing was smooth.
The rubber materials have a pleasant feeling but you’re going to clean the dust and fingerprints from time to time. As you can see it looks fantastic when it’s clean.

The most interesting port is (of course) the yellow one which connects the external subwoofer to the laptop. It was made out of hard plastic and it was light, not at all what we expected. However the sound quality is amazing when we fired up a video. Don’t get us wrong: it will not replace your Hi-Fi audio system but for a 2.1 audio laptop the sound was amazing. In terms of laptop audio quality it comes second after the much appreciated Asus NX90.

There are some photos for the subwoofer as well as the yellow port...







And then to speakers...

SonicMaster is a standard that defines audio specifications based on usage scenarios. There are three different levels, with the lowest guaranteeing users clear voice and speech — this is critical in business applications. The highest level resembles the quality of a high-end audio system, with extremely faithful music reproduction. Users can choose quality levels based on need.
In addition to these objective quality levels, we also have subjective specifications, which relate to how people feel about good audio. For example, many people feel live performances sound better than recordings, and that loud volume is important in noisy environments. Some people prefer vocals in pop music and movies, and most are uncomfortable with noise. SonicMaster standards cover the entire audio system of a laptop, including the line-out and headphone sockets. Users who choose to listen with headphones or an external speaker system will still benefit from the difference in sound quality. ASUS has developed a platform that allows all audio applications to achieve optimum performance. This means SonicMaster doesn’t focus on boosting only certain aspects of audio, instead it reproduces all sound faithfully..... =) and also it comes with asus subwoofer....
" Bundled SonicMaster subwoofer "
In addition to the already spectacular precision of SonicMaster audio, ASUS is offering an external subwoofer to increase low-note performance and result in even more impactful output. It enables a wider sound range, providing listeners with an even richer bass experience.

Some features for N45/N55SF...

Video Magic


Music Now
Users press one button and can enjoy music in 8 seconds
(sounds cool lol... especially for me who love music so much)

USB Charger+ fast device recharging in any situation

Now to the GPU...
Basically, GT555M have few versions... N45/N55 are using The GT555M version B2 with DDR3 128 bit...
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M is a fast middle class graphics card for laptops. It is based on the same GF106 core as the GeForce GT 445M but offers slightly higher clock rates and support for DDR3 running at 900 MHz. The other features like PureVideo HD (VP4), 3DVision, HD Audio support, ... are identical to the GT445M. The chip can be used with DDR3 or GDDR5 graphics memory. Depending on the configuration, the performance can differ significantly.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M "A" (details)


NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M "B1"


GPU-Z for VB1


NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M "B2"


GPU-Z for VB2


Summary from above is, GT555M A version is the GDDR5 one 96SP/128bit. while B1 is DDR3 144SP/192bit and B2 DDR3 144SP/128bit....

okay so.. let's see this
Compared to the GeForce GT 540M, the GT 555M is much more powerful. These are the benchmarks I found, all in average framerates:

Overall, it's around 40% faster. Pretty much all games are playable on medium/high settings combo at 1600x900. On the 540M, you have to go down into all medium settings at 1366x768. That, and the TDP is almost the same: 32W and 35W.

The specifications of N45/N55SF


Windex for N45/N55 and also Cpu-Z

















Asus has registered significant progress with its cooling technology and the N55SF temperatures were satisfying
Battery time was impressive although the N55SF is a multimedia laptop. Running in Classic mode it achieved 1.5 hours and under the Reader setting it passed the 3 hours barrier. The 6-cell battery copes well with a 15.6-inch display, a subwoofer and the powerful Nvidia graphics.

After Using my dear SF for 2 months, i can say it's worth it. The sound is really awesome personally... My apartment mates tend to show me O.o?! when they saw that that COLA TIN can make so much "noise " and bass... Besides tat, i juz installed a F7 2.1 sound system inside my single room... then when i tune setting to "inserted headset", the bass is so great tat my apartment mates start to They claimed the wall is gonna break.. hahaha... anyway, personally, i am very satisfied with N55SF i owned.. Cons, as mentioned, n55 might be quite bulky, but i love it very much, so i don't even bother the weight although i need to carry it to my class / library daily.. And for gamers who tend to press the keyboard so hard, you might considering get urself a external keyboard.. in conclusion, i am happy with my n55 although it's not in white colour. Statements above is imho.. No offense...



My own review.....



All rite... after facing one week of internet prob and some difficulties, finally i can write my own review rite now... well.... let's start with the look.... hmm... black colour not bad.... juz tat i really did put all my hope in the white one... ^^ oh well... i bought my 55sf (i5) with RM2699... at first, i tried to bargain the price, but only deduct RM50 for the exclusion of free gifts.... so i took the freebies, it's some useless thingy for me... haha.. a "classic" cooler pad, laptop lock, headset, lcd cleaner, keyboard protector... i bought my baby with 10 DVDs... well... let's start from beginning.. hmmm. i walked into the shop, and then i tell the promoter i wan to test 55sf... because the display unit is not turned on... so.. i wan to confirm tat 55sf i5 is equipped with matte screen and HD+... so then the handsome promoter took 55sf out in a unsealed box (one thing i wan to say is the open box tradition here in my city, i hate it!) they claimed tat they will open the unit once it arrived at their shop, to make sure that the laptop is fine... some of them claimed tat they need to preinstall softwares for the customers so that they no need to wait after they paid..

Actually, i intend to buy a sealed unit, but no choice, i hav to buy by tat time to make sure the laptop is workiong fine before i leave my city next week... (i personally experienced EOL for N53s and n53sv) lol... tat's a quite bad experience,so i buy this baby after contemplate in a shorter preiod of time compare to n53sn and n53sv... hahaha.... all rite, erm, the promoter took sf out and turn it on... then i ask him can i feel the laptop? then i DXDIAG it, and also insert my external HDD to run cpu-z and gpu-z and test he 2 usb 2.0 ports and 2 usb 3.0 ports.... but one thing i hav to say is the desktop is full on programs and bloatwares... later i will provide relevant screenshots to support my statement here... haha then i check if there is any dead pixels.. i check for scratches.. hmmm... type on it... then i bought it home lol..... First nite, i apply the charging theory (8 hours charge) although i know tat's not necessary but i did it cause i arrived home at ten something and i slept after leave it charging overnite... haha...

the next day, i woke up, i start to explore it... 91 programs installed, 4.53gb hahahaha then i was like O.O?!!! The boot time is slow... then i play music, then i was like hmmm? not bad, the subwoofer can barely replace ur 2.1 if u open quite loud... haha... but still i love the subwoofer as it's not tat bulky compare to my 2.1 which is impossible for mobility... i did bring y 2.1 to college before this, it's a nightmare when u wan to bring it to and back from collage... i can hear "thum thum" sound from the coke... i am satisfied with it, and i start to play around with asus sonic master... hmmm. can adjust bass, all those... i try to turn it off, it really makes some diff if u turn the sonic master off... all rite.. hmmmm. then i did gaming... first game is er,nba 2k11... with HD+ resolution and all max... i am impressed because i am not able to do tat with my dekstop... hahaha... my internet is down tat time so i cant really reach lowyat or sifu here and cant download any test program for testing or stressing my laptop.. so by the time, i only play games tat i downloaded before this and kill some time...

until er... 27 of august i think, i brought my lappy out and try to apply screen protector... at first, the seller said it's bad to hav screen protector attached, will spoil your screen bla bla bla... but after contemplate for some time, i planned to get one, juz in case my fren touch my dear screen with his finger. xD. then i installed a lid protector tat's NOT FIT at all. =.= juz a temp one to prevent the finger prints to get SO obvious... again and again... finger prints will kill you if u really don like ur lid to be full of prints like me... i like the matte screen, i try to shine my screen using LED emergency light.. haha... and i love the resolution... hmmm. i will say,i am used to my HD+ and when i use my desktop, i was like wat?! the resolution is so small... the desktop icon is so big! uncomfortable... hahahaha .... until er today... theoritically, i say today i juz can online after changing a new modem... although my old modem is still working but not compatible with the changed phone line... currently typing on my lovely 55sf... erm.. i will say i5 is sufficient for me so far... and the... gpu i am satisfied with it... although it's crippled vb2 version.... but one thing i wan to highlight is if u r using the old GPU driver, your optimus will not working properly... for example, u can see clearly at ur notification icon, the colour is green plus grey... although u r not using ur GC, or idle... which means yr opti is working halfy... but u still can use ur GPU when gaming... so basically, i assume it drain more battery life when u r not using GC or doing task without GPU.... imho, you should install the new driver to get the opti working... as now, i can get a complete grey colour which indicate the gpu is at rest while not using it... and i didnt find any flex on my keyboard, although i m not tat familiar with laptop keys yet... and erm... the multimedia key is quite useful... the volume up and volume down key is cool too... as well as p4g switching button... but one thing is my music now is not working... haha... will try it when i do another clean format lol... oh well... the batttery life i will do a test on myself and post it here..... This is my review, correct me if i am wrong and thank you for reading them...

Following is some screen shots from my laptop

The picture above shows the programs and features installed in my laptop by the retailer and some bloatwares lol....

this is the boot time i got before i reformat my laptop....



The following pictures are the screen shot from my driver disc..





For my laptop, they preinstalled all the drivers and all recommended applications accept Trend...

all rite, then this is the gpu graph i got from msi afterburn and openhardware after doing furmark...



So right after i got my internet, i did a clean format and then i got these


28.xx seconds is the best record i can go i think... But still i can say it's cool.. at least better than the boot time before reformat...

the program and features tat i hav after a clean format of window


This post has been edited by simon3041: Nov 10 2011, 02:14 PM

I think as far as all owner concerned, i would like to share some tips and guide for decreasing boot time... first of all, i will highly recommend you go and do a CLEAN FORMAT for your window.. it's a best way to clean ur bloatwares or wat so ever programs and return your laptop to a clean state and u r the one who determine wat to install in your laptop... I, did you this way to decrease my boot time, and hypothesis accepted... boot time significantly dropped...

well... first of all... You will need to do back-up... 5 DVDs' ai recovery burner... if u dont know how, you can refer to user manual, or e manual... It's kinda easy,but it took 1 hour and twenty minutes for me... okay... wat's the purpose of doing tat back up? First, it's for your recovery in case ur recovery paritition not working, u can use those 5 dvd's to do recovery.... okay so... IF YOU DID BACKUP, then proceed to second step... It will be reformat your window 7 ... but before tat, there's a optional step before u reformat which is insert your driver disc, try to see list of program/drivers... i think u need to click advance in order to view the applications/drivers tat were preinstalled... okay.. so after u get to know and ideas on which programs or drivers u need to install, then u r good to go....

All rite, reformat is kinda easy...

First of all, you insert the win7 disc into your dvd room.
Download them from here if u don hav. burn them into dvd by using Imgburn
Then you will reboot your laptop. when the black screen appear, press F2 to enter bios setting,
and then you will go to boot tab, and find boot option #1, hit enter and change it to ur dvd room or Blue ray room, for my model, for instance, it shuld be Slimtype DVD A..
Then you will hav to hit F10 to save and exit...
so well now it will reboot and then a black screen with following words should pop out "press any keys to boot from CD and DVD" then u will hav to press any keys,
then will enter the setup... windows will gonna load the files... and starting windows...
then it will gonna ask you for language u wanna install, time and currency format, and the keyboard and input method... set that, and click next...
(do note that the window resolution might get low, instead of HD+ during reformat for i5 sf) and then click on the install now.
then the screen will show setup is starting... read the license terms and accept it and click next....
and select custom (advance),
so well, at here... you shall see three partitions... first it should be system recovery partition, 25gb of primary partition... DO NOT DELETE THE SYSTEM RECOVERY PARTITION, you will need tat for system recovery... Accept if u really need tat 25gb... i would say no. don touch the recovery partition...
and you should see second partition, usually named as OS (C:) and third partition Date (D:) for me...
so if u wan a clean format, you should delete tat two partitions, OS and Data D or wat so ever local disk or wat is named for your partition...
click drive option advance to delete the partition...
click okay if a warning pop out asking you whether u confirm wan to delete the partition...
all rite, then u should see Unallocated space... select it and click next...
once u clicked next, it gonna show window is installing... copying windows files, expanding window files, installing features, installing updates, and completing installation... (note that the expanding might take some time, so relax during window expanding the files) for me, it took around twenty minutes to done this process.
okay... now after the installation, the window is gonna restart, PLEASE MAKE SURE TAT YOU DONT CLICK ANYTHING WHEN IT SAY PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM DISC OR DVD.
then starting windows,updating your registry settings, setup is starting services, completing installation,
setup will continue after restarting the computer,
AND REMEMBER DON CLICK ANYTHING AT THE "PRESS ANY KEYS TO BOOT FROM CD OR DVD"
setup is preparing your computer for first use. then type in ur name and computer name, click next..
then for password, if u don wan any, leave it blank and click next.
your product key, key in the product key and click next, use recommended setting, set time and date click next and select your network...
after u enter the window, congratz.. reformat is done... a clean installation of windows....


okay... so after reformat your window, you might wan to repart your partition...
go start
then right click my computer
click manage
click disk management,
you will see the big partition.. it should be 25gb of primary recovery partition, then 100mb of system reserved after u reformat, then a big parition.. it should be 571gb
so you right click on the 571gb, then click shrink volume
enter the amount of volume you wan to shrink
then u will see free space,
right click and click new simple volume, click next, next again, then assign the letter u wan for the new drive, then click next then next then finish...
then u r done...

(Dont forget to go in your BIOS and adjust back the boot option 1 back to ur HDD instead of slimtype DVD.blue ray) so tat u get rid of the "press any keys to boot from cd or DVD"

All rite, lets proceed to the installation of driver/softwares from your disc.
tat's kinda easy...
first insert your disc into your dvd room/blue ray room
then run,
then u will see all the ticks on the recommended applications and drivers, from here u can tick or untick the programs u wan or don wan to installl
Personally, i installed all the drivers accept IRST, and then for recommended applications, i install INF update driver, touchpad, bluetooth, wireless console 3 and P4Gear...
that's all... You may tick any program u need...
after tat, click start, then it will ask install now? you click yes, then wait for the drivers to be installed... it will be automatically installed, frequent reboots, and then you might need to get a cup of tea or coffee at the mean time, for some of the programs or driver, it needs you to click okay if it ask you whether you want to reboot or not... after done, you can go start > then right click at my computer > then manage, then click device manager, see if any unknown device.. if no, then congratz.. reformat and install driver is done...

RMVB playback problem..

steps
1) Download the Windows version of binary codec pack for MPlayer.
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html#binary_codec
(filename = windows-essential-20071007.zip)

2) Extract only these files from the ZIP archive:
cook.dll, pncrt.dll, sipr3260.dll, drv33260.dll, drv43260.dll

3) Put those files in the Windows system folder.
That is C:\Windows\System32\ on a 32-bit version of Windows.
That is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ on a 64-bit version of Windows.

thank lee_what & Duckies for your help!

I have Asus N55SF-S1150V (8GB RAM, 3 Years Warranty). So add me !

im using standard specs n followed the softwares updates as in previous discussion.. no problem.. maybe u can try format it again..

Downloading Skyrim

First blue screen while left it on to copy stuff from my PC over the network Didn't really read what the error was, only saw bluescreen gonna check on it later

Could the cause be the HDD auto switched off by the power plan's setting while the file was copying?

Done! Welcome to the club....

add me in N45 owners list.

and what application you guys use to monitor the temp??





This post has been edited by syukriramli: Nov 11 2011, 07:55 AM

added.. msi afterburner for gpu monitoring.

i think the auto switch off only can happen when the com is idle, if there is some activity, it wont shut off.

if can not restart or shutdown, and sharing files on network, if you are in uni network, might be kena some virus from others

Hye..add me in this club..user of n55 sf i5..
anyway, can i know how to solve the problem regarding ASUS Music Now software?
when i try to run it by using the key when the my laptop shutdown, the screen appear
and it said that the Asus Music Now can't be run because it does not install or the
installation are not complete? i already reinstall it it seems it can't be solve. Can you
help me to settle this problem? i hope to hear from you as soon as possible because i looking forward to utilise the software..

I'm on my home network Just checked event viewer, it seems like a normal shutdown procedure but somehow a bluescreen appeared on the log when I switched back on my windows ahah. *fingers crossed* hopefully nothing is wrong

Reporting in
Black N55SF i5 8GB RAM 750GB HD
RM2799 Evernew Lowyat

Currently using master cooler U2, but temperatures going up to 8x almost reaching 90. Normal?
1st time gaming with battery it kept hanging
After that took out battery and it went smooth.
Never used battery since.

Wow so fast got hang/blue screen

Btw,Skyrim is around 6Gb only Kinda small compared to Modern Warfare 3 and La Noire...now i got 80 Gb things to be downloaded...my 1Mbps streamyx tak boleh tahan XD

don use battery when u gaming. Coz when u running high demanding things(gaming for example), the power consumption is high. And this will cause battery to generate a lot of heat and it will damage the battery also. And when u put both battery and power adapter together and run something demanding, it seems that it will tend to overload our circuit, thus maybe sometime u will hear some high pitch 'yeee yeee yeee' sound which is one of the symptoms of circuit overload

HI guys..
Pls add me to the club as well..

Just purchase N55 I5 with HD + last month.. Love it but wish I waited a bit longer for the 7200 rpm HDD.. Oh well ..

neways, I want to take off my ODD and add in an additional HDD with SATA caddy case.

Can anyone tell me wat size caddy case should I buy? is it the 12.7 mm caddy case? Anyone knows wat the dimension of the ODD is?

Thanks..

welcome to dual hdd world bro xD. Finally i'm not alone xD. For caddy, just get a universal 12.7mm one xD I'm using one myself, but i put ssd in old hdd's place then my hdd in caddy.

i haven't tested fully yet lol. Just played modern warfare 3 for a while just now for testing. But so far so good. temperature never more than 80

anyone using latest modded inf? is there any differences/improvement using the latest inf together with the latest nvidia graphic driver?

no need mod inf ady. The driver can be used by our card ady. But this 285.79 still beta though

U r going to add in extra HDD or SSD?If HDD,mayb u should use external hard disk instead.Less hassle.

What did they improve this time? Still got 6Gb to go for my Modern Warfare 3 >.<....perhaps I should wait til i go back and download.I gave up on my 50Gb Uncharted 3 XD

lol i haven't fully tested yet. can't tell xD. i finished playing MW3 ady. MUST PLAY lol. battlefield 3 is nothing compared to it...... i gave up my uncharted 3 also xD. wait go back uni only download ady xD
