@Conan :-EPICest temps in my whooooole faqin life......wait What if really is that hot...will it melt?
There's just no way that the SSD is operating at that temp. It is totally different from a mechanical HDD, there are no moving parts and because of that it'll hardly be running more than 50 deg. C
I am guessing that there is a bug in HWmonitor.
Hey, I had my lappy for a couple months and where I live, it's really dusty around here (gotta love the construction). I've been looking around the net and I haven't found a single site that helps me take apart the laptop. I just wanna do maintenance on the fans and all. Nothin special. Does anyone know a site that does or can tell me? Thanks a bunch!
I am sure there are lots of websites and videos showing how to open and access various components on a laptop. But, if you are looking for this particular model in this context....good luck. If you are familiar with changing laptop/desktop components, I'd suggest that you get a toolkit and start opening up the screws on the back. Eventually you will reach the fans; just make sure you do not damage any sticker which will void your warranty. You can refer Page 102 of this forum to get started.
If you aren't familiar with PC internals, just sit back and relax. My old laptop has been running for more than 2 years without any sort of physical maintenance.
And guys I had installed 306 beta nvidea drivers is it the same version you guys are using or using drivers provided in samsung website?
I'm currently using the drivers available on the Samsung website. You shouldn't have a lot of issues running the bet drivers. Only thing is that some games may not work properly with the beta drivers. As long as you don't face any such problem, I don't think there's any harm in continuing with the beta drivers.
I would really appreciate it if someone clears my doubts and convinces me its worth to spend half-a-lac on this laptop.
1.I live/study in a place where the climate is about 30-34 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
Can someone point out the extent of heating that this laptop produces while gaming ?
Also a good notebook cooling pad to counter it?
2.If I have any issues,what would be Samsung's reaction?
Is there a replacement guarantee or would they not even give two hoots about my problem?
Samsung,though a giant in the electronics market,does not have a foothold in the computer arena.
3.I plan to order any laptop through flipkart,any heads up on their service?
I have a week to finalize any laptop to purchase.
Again,would really appreciate it of someone answers my query.
A big thanks in advance.
1. 30-35 deg C ambient temp. will most probably cause this laptop to reach late 80s to mid 90s, under heavy CPU+GPU load, even with good ventilation, i.e., cooling pad. If you are uncomfortable running your laptop at those temps., I'd suggest you stay away from this laptop and Ivy Bridge CPUs, in general.
2. Can't comment on service quality as I've never had any Samsung product go bad on me, including this lappy.
3. I've generally had a very good experience with flikart, but, I've never ordered such a high value item from them. I've read about some people reporting bad experiences, i.e., non delivery, order cancellation etc. You may want to check up more on that online.
But, if you want to game on that budget, on a laptop, I believe this is your best bet.
guys ms office asking me to purchase to use office application... isn't ms office provided along with win 7 package by samsung..PLZ HELP ME OUT..need yo use ms office for college
sorry guys its not asking to purchase but its asking for product key..where will i get the product key,,is it in the recovery disk i got with the lap ??
MS Office is not part of the bundled software package. You will have to purchase the product key if you want to use the same. You can use free Office software like openoffice.org for the same purpose or go about it with "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
"
Can someone please suggest a stand/cooling pad for it? There was a discussion about them in this thread, but it was long time back and I couldn't find it.
Thanks.
You can check out online retailers like flipkart, theitdepot, infibeam etc. You may provide your budget for any additional help.
