    Ok, I formatted and installed my Win7-64bit. I installed all the Win7 drivers I got from the Asus site. Some things I noticed and maybe some things you can help me fix?

    1) Wireless console 3- It's all new. Thew me off as I was looking for a different icon. But if you double click on it, it has two icons that pop-up. A wi-fi and Bluetooth. So they cleaned it up from the 4 icons, which I thought was better.
    2) I downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site. Also installed the system tools. I noticed the GPU no longer downclocks. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks to that, my GPU stays around 68c
    3) There is no graphical icon when you turn on the keyboard light. There was only 3 brightness levels,right? The key lights seem so much dimmer than I remember. Not that I used it much. I have all the other graphical icons like for the screen light, volume icons,etc.

    UPDATE: I found a way to install the powermizer in Win7. Took a bit to figure out how to give it admin rights,when I was already admin mode. At least now it downclocks.
