first download easy software manager from samsung website, it will recognised all drivers from your recovery media. first i thought we have to download drivers from samsung website after formatting, but later realised that there is recovery media in this laptop.
hey guys.....Its few days....m using it frequently now....wht I am observing is within 2 days battery wear level 3% and it getting heated up quite easily. 50 C while surfing internet. Is this normal or not ??
i played DMC4 for atleast 2-3 hrs continous and even area near touchpad became warm whts tht..............has anyone xperience this.
I used cooling pad U2 too while playing DMC4...no AC room.

@sakii! Bro! This lappy is meant for high-end multimedia and a bit less gaming......But we guyz made this lappy a Gaming Lappy!!!The only reason why Temps are on Higher side!!! Samsung designed it for superior multimedia experience and no hardcore gaming..though lappy can manage it but Samsung didn't invested much in cooling efficiency of the laptop....Some lappies in this price range such as Lenovo Y580 is budget Gaming laptop!! and it does stays cool while extreme gaming. It never crosses 82C while Extreme gaming and idle temps are just 30C ..though it packs a whooping GTX 660M !!!!

Yeah,I played NFSHP after 1 hr touchpad become hot. I use infinite evo. And while surfing net(more than 1hr) the processor's temp rise upto 48c
I think u should check the nvidia control panel.... i think it keep on switching between the graphics card and intel graphics..... my friend also faced such problem... he also changed the control panel setting and everything became alright....
(one more thing is that my friend did something in ati crystal control).... check all the settings in nvidia control panel... U might solve it....

strange
was there proper ventilation beneath the laptop, or you were playing by putting pillow under it? because im playing Skyrim at ultra setting and temps are around 75 at CPU max 70%

Mine w/ cooling pad and underpowering CPU temps were @97C while playing GTA 4 though there was no FPS Drops!!
RON i used U2 cooling pad. I m worried abt battery wear level too.strange
strange thing is tht there is sound frm dvd drive whn strt using any application or aftr booting up laptop (not during booting up)
@pratyush >> dude u r ryt. But if thts a intense multimedia laptop thn too heating shuld b addressed....as of there are many intense graphic applications too. Heating and getting a 50C reading while normal browsing is not OK acc. to me.
Wht shuld I do for battery....already set max charge lvl to 80% and switch turbo mode only while gaming..... infact its showing wear lvl only aftr I set it to max 80% as I hv used it for gaming few days bck too.....god knows why is it happening ryt now. Wht shuld b remedies to it. ??
BTW i have not faced any FPS drop till today.

cremator and sakii U both just got a PM
Hey guys i bought the i7 version of this laptop 5 days ago. I am having serious throttling problem in BF3 and Arkham city at full settings whether it's on power supply or not. This beast is able to run BF3 butter smooth on ultra until throttling starts after the first 10 min. I have tried underclocking cpu to 65% but its of no use. I am using the updated beta drivers for the gpu. Does anyone have a solution? Is a cooling pad helpful at all?
P.S- I think the people who are not reporting any throttling are not playing demanding games at ultra settings because my laptop never throttles while playing FIFA 12.
