What was interesting that I didn't know. Directly below the FAN in the center of the bottom part of the laptop is NOT the GPU. It is actually the Intel Chipset. The interesting part is this fan cool both the GPU and the Intel chipset at the same time.

I also just finish my AC5 applying. I got it over the GPU and the Intel Chipset too. Man, that chipset is as larger then the pentium-m cpu. heeh

So AC5 on CPU, GPU, and Intel Chipset.

* Note: This new version seems to support "Digital Flat Panel Setting" in the control panel

* Another Note: 77.30 will fix the shadow problem found in BF2.

could you also compare the 76.45 driver and the 73.00 from Asus' Z71v support site?

I was using 76.45 previously, I had post it somewhere around here but can't find it. It is much faster than 76.45.

Not sure about 73.00 from Asus support site. I haven't tried that one.

I'll try the 77.50 next, since I had heard it is a tad better than 77.30. But I was amaze how much improvement from 77.30 over 76.44.

I would use anything above 76.00. Anything older than it, many claims to have the tempeture bug.

This link seems to be broken. Can anyone point me to where I can get a (prefer free) system (temperature/fan, etc.) monitoring app for Z71V? I'm not overclocking or anything, but just curious how hot this baby is running sometimes.

Agreed! It should get stickied either way!

Regarding the Xtreme G drivers, it looks like there's only a difference if you overclock. At stock, the scores look the same as the laptopvideo2go version.

Yeah, from the 77.30 version and up, it seems you would only benefit if you o/c it. Even a small o/c value will show up a good amount of differences.

I've played Empire Earth II and EQ2 with the 77.62 @ 290/550. Seems to be runing great. I get pretty good fps as well, compared to earlier version.
