lol 50-55 is consider very low already as normal temperature is already 47 for my case =.=
without air cond my cpu temp can be 58

lol guys have u met this problem before? i was using the laptop with subwoofer plugged in for quite some time, after certain time i try to play a music, no sound come out at all from the speaker and subwoofer... when i try to open the speaker icon at the taskbar, there indicate a sound.. after i plugged out the subwoofer, got sound again lol happened twice -.-

and one more thing, is my waves maxxaudio interface looks abit odd? i dont remember seeing the big grey space underneath the 'asus'

I have the ventilation problem once, just within few days of purchase only 
That's a very weird problem so I rather restart then the problem solved already 
Then another problem arises last month but I don't know why, suddenly the palm rest become so hot like having fever and I checked that my temp hits approx 60, that's worrying me but again, restart my system seems like solved my problem though..

But when my pc is normal, without cooling pad, with air cond my cpu will be less than 50, without air cond it was 58 like that haha
,normal usage only 

8-10 seconds to boot to start screen from my Windows 8 and i'm on HDD. My friend whom is using the SSD - 1.5-2 sec!

Worth it to upgrade and i notice no compatibility issues. Everything working as usual in desktop mode.
