Asus W3J Pics and benchmarks etc

well like many that get a new laptop, they write a small review and then play with it, leaving us in the dust

Its ok tho, btw he hasn't been on basicaly ever since he put up his review. There are others who will be getting the W3J soon too, and we can hear from them.

Thanks,

Mastha i know ur overclocked the GPU for both 3dmarks, now did you put the laptop like in the first picture and then ran the tests?

BTW congratz on such high numbers!

Thanks,

MysticGolem

 

Yes I put laptop like in the picture but to be honest - it doesn't help :], the temps were the same.

 

lol, you know the laptop prolly doesn't like sitting like that, causes heat problems... well may... try re-testing upright with the fan or without...w/e don't matter, ur numbers are nice!

Btw did the overall heat increase? when you overclocked? Can you comment about that, while running the benchmarks, plz

Thanks,

CPU is about 65 degrees, don't know about GPU. Also CPU goes to 75-78 during heavy gaming (like GRAW).

 

great, do you notice any heat increase on the chasis? like a spot where you could potentially burn your finger if you left it there too long? lol

Or is the W3J's cooling system good enuff to not do that?

Thanks in advance,

MysticGolem

 

The ONLY hot place is near the went on the right side, nothing else is gettin very warm.

 

vent* ok kool, then you can say that the cooling is good then right?

That's a great releif for many

Thanks,

Funny cooling system Mastha. Overclock scores are awesome.

 

FINALLY! It has arrived in Sweden. Just placed a order and it should arrive in 2-4 business day.

Edit: And I have bought 2x1 GB Corsair DDR2 667 MHz SO-DIMM too.

 

How does GRAW run mastha?

 

All results on STOCK clock/mem :

1280x768, all settings to max + anizo x4 : 15-18fps, unplayable
1280x768, all settings to max + no anizo : 18-20fps (after oc - MAYBE)
1280x768, all settings to medium + no anizo : 30-35 (after oc >40, you can change something to high, details for example)

 

^ I guess heavy FPS and other types are what my Xbox 360 will be for...GRAW and Obliv run just fine on that...

As long as I can eventually play Spore and Vanguard, I'll be happy.

 

cool thanks

 

Dont' know why, as much as I force myself to like the design of the W3j, I just don't. Is it just me or does it look terribly dull and bland? Even the A8j looks better in my personal opinion.

 

It's ok. You like plastic. Go for the A6Ja.

 

i think that's what attracts people to the w3j. it's simplicity and sleekness. it's definitely not a flashy machine.

 

Blasphemy!!

 

I don't see it...I guess if you took away the brushed aluminum lid, I'd agree with you on the W3v, but the W3j looks really nice with the darker interior and the fancy mouse pad and button...
