well, okay thanks. Just wonder is it really not cover by warranty?

I don't think case damage would count as it can be argued as user inflicted damage or from wear and tear. If it was there when you got it, then it can be considered manufacturing defect.

thanks alex !
I'll go to lowyat later

Anyone using Nvidia Inspector?
Is it for desktop graphic card only?
Does it work with notebook GPU?

Don't use it but it should be compatible with any Nvidia GPU.

You keep the program running during gaming and alt+tab to screenshot?

I think this is just after closing the game.

Even mine isn't as low.

close the game and continue to open the program hwmonitor immediately.. temperature may reduced -+2 degree
will try to open hwmonitor first before playing that game

Hi there guys , I am new here and I am going to buy a laptop for my studies . So far I have these two model in mind :
ASUS A43SM-VX216
ASUS A43SD-Color Series

I still not sure which one am I going to get . I will be using the laptop for assignments , movies , songs and maybe some light gaming such as Football Manager 2012 , PES 2012 ... Which one should I get ?

What is your budget? If you have to choose strictly between these 2 units, then the A43SM would be a better and more powerful choice.

any news when the Asus N56v is coming to M'sia ?

My Asus A53sv can go up to 90 degree without any extra cooling when the laptop started to utilize the nvidia gpu, is that normal?

Btw, thinking of upgrading my ram to 8gb (currently 4gb), here's some question I'm curious to know

1. Will upgrading RAM affects/void the warranty?
2. How to choose the RAM type (for Asus A53SV)?

Probably at the end of the month.

Yes, that's normal if the GPU kicks in.

1. Will not void.
2. It will be using DDR3-1066 so just get back a compatible RAM brand with equal or faster clocks. Usually the same one would be best but if not, get Kingston.
