may i know where u apply ur thermal paste? am looking for trustable technician.. scare they might spoil my new lappie

Lol honestly I don't know since I'm not planning to reapply thermal paste. You can try to ask people at the mobile computing thread, they should know more than me. Btw, reapply thermal paste means need to disassemble your laptop and this might void the warranty.

I was searching high and low got CPUID before CNY because I suspect my laptop not working well
then I found this ...



my bus speed ok but not the multiplier. it stay at x8.
I send it back to Acer for checking, and YES, there is a problem.
Still waiting for their report.

That's why I don't like to purchase stuff like laptop from online, especially those online store which is not from the official brand itself.
You should have a warranty card or code which comes along with your laptop. The warranty will most probably be from Acer directly. Just head to Acer service center and show them the code or card or any document.
Then you can proceed to claim for your warranty. Lazada doesn't provide any laptop warranty. But I think there is a 1 to 1 exchange if your parcel is damaged, but I not sure you're able to do so or not since you're already using it for few days already.

Just head to Acer service center or the place you bought it, and tell them you want to reapply new thermal paste. And specifically tell them which thermal paste you want, like IC Diamond or other. DON'T use Stock Thermal Paste. Extra fee will be charged.

If you're not OC-ing your CPU, under Balanced mode x8 is normal.
But if it is constant x8, there is a problem.

mine is constant no matter what program running..
when i read back the post, iverice symptom look like mine ..

just send my laptop to claim the warranty for keyboard. quiet impress with their service. 10am delivery 2pm can take back

btw how much is the extra charge for the thermal paste ?

It depends on what type of thermal paste you want to use. Some charge RM50 for IC Diamond (IC diamond itself + service charge)

Are u guys using any keyboard cover? Am currently looking for one.. But couldn't find

You mean this?



Nope, I don't use it since it "Uglify" my laptop haha. Keyboard cover should be easy to find, just survey around your nearby IT Shop.

then how u maintain the keyboard.. it tends to get caught with dust

Guys when you put your ear near the fan when it switches off, does it make abit of sound? Cos when idle use got no sound

Yup, the fan is quiet since its rarely kicks in like other people said.

I just wipe it everyday haha. Its quite troublesome though.

No what I mean is when shutting down the fan will make a sound?

Oh, my fan doesn't make any sound when shutting down.

If only the 15 inch version had the 4GB 860M T.T

Can someone send a picture on the backlit keyboard? I seen on some pictures that the keyboard fonts doesnt have the red light glowing (if you know what i mean lol). And can give some opinions? Trying to get a good value gaming pc and trying to decide this between the y50. Thanks

The performance between 2GB and 4GB didn't have much difference though.

Key font do have light but it only can be seen under dark place.



Here's some links you can refer before choosing the laptop

FYI, if you're playing previous year game on ultra settings, it may affect your performance. More vram means you can render better texture
