Well I ordered it nad it came here where I live in CA. I ordered my 7200rpm 100HD hd for my notebook and I ordered a 2.26ghz pentium M. I did the job my slef very easy. I noticed my temps went up considerably. Fan noise is still silent but it is much hotter it now goes to 75C after 30 min of gmaing. After 3 hourse it almost reached 78c!!!! But the laptop is silent and thats what matters. Right now its ideling at 50C before it used to be at the 42's but that was with a 4200rpm and very slow 1.86 ghz pentium m. THe difference is very noticible in games and multitasking. So far everything si great. Now i have a silent BUT HOT NOTEbook. I called ASUS they said that eveyrhting is normal and it should be hot as it is metal amy rght hand burns me so much!!!!!! IS there any wasy I can control the fan noise on this notebook so i can make the fan go higer??? It gets too hot and i cant even put it on my lap. Thanks guys.

BWAHAHAHAHA, I knew you'd find something wrong with your laptop given enough time.

Lesson learned: No laptop is perfect.

Its almost perfect I mean its quite and very sexy look. Fast now since i did the upgrades it just gets hot. Hoow well you can never have it all but I am thinkg of moding the cpu heatskink and thinking of applying articsilver. Here In CA it is quite warm so I dont know how thats is goign to affect anything.

yeup using the newst everion. WHy does ASUS have too make somehting so quite then the thing gets hot. I mean it reaches 70C when gamign I undervolted. If I didnt then it will be in the 80C or high 70's. I guess a 2.26 isnt meant to be in a 1inch frame, without being undervolted. I really can not see apple making a 15inch powerbook thinner, quiter and more battery life with the dual centrinos which suck the living battery out og the notebook. It is around 110W on full load maybe even more.

Heh...you have to have compromise. If it's quiet...it will run hotter. If it's loud(er)...it's bound to run cool.

hhmm, i was at a lan party about 2 weeks ago, and i had to use a P4 laptop with a decent video card ( i think it was a Radeon 9700).

Well this laptop was old, real old, and the keyboard was flexing all over, and yes there was alot of heat coming from it.

But i didn't complain at all, for some reason all that heat coming from the CPU and GPU din't bother me at all, but given my circumstance, i was in a basement playing.. so i dunno if that had affect my tolerance to heat. PLus the chasis was made outta plastic.

Whereas yours is brushed alum, and that can prolly conduct more heat and relay more heat to your hand i guess?

Anyways, can you handle the heat?? Given my situation with that P4 laptop, i was able to tolerate it ( i dunno how, lol it was my first time playing games on a laptop)

Thanks,

Well now I have solved the problem. WHen I bought the chip there wasnt any thermal paste of pad. SO i bought Artic silver 5 and I applied it there. Temps have went from the high 70'sC to a around mid 60'sC when gmaing. It used to idle at 63C now at 42-43C. The bad part of this all the fans do not come on for a very long time so the laptop does heat up a lot when doing normal tasks. Also when gamign the fans are still silent and I guess that makes the notebook warm but not hot as it used to get. Overall I am gald they mad a really quiet notebook partly becuase I added artic silver 5 and undervolted it. They should nextime have built a more efficent cooling system so that it eont starve the laptop of heat while running very slow rpm's. By the way when doing extensive work the fan goes on at 2000rpm which is almost impossible to hear.

um to help cooling, use Speedfan, for example you said when doing light tasks the fan doesn't turn on causing it to heat up and then cool down once the fans come on.

Well you can now tell speed fan to turn on the fans at a low RPM, like at 38 degrees and help cool it overtime, and once the temp runs into the 45 degree range tell the fans to speed up so it can cool it back to a lower temp.

you get it?

hope this helps,

As for designing laptops, hehe, dude we all wish laptops were silent, cool and thin and light and more.

But all laptops have thier flaws, the user is the one that has to live with it and try to make it better by programs and other things.

so yah =\

Thanks,
