    Can you flash the 9800m GS to 9800m GTS in Asus G50vt X5?

    Im thinking of flashing my 9800m gs to 9800m gts and I was wondering if it was possible to do on Asus G50vt X5 because I heard that it only works on some laptops. And my idle temp is like 60 degrees celcius right now. So i was wondering how much of a performance will I gain and how much hotter will my card get? And how should I do this??

    I would say anywhere under 75C is fine (as a max temp with furmark or something that will get it really hot).

    That's pretty bad, I would clean out the dust and change the thermal paste.

    Overclock using NVDIA system tool 6.06 to OC.. works like a charm with 190 series drivers.. just make a profile to load at startup... easy and no problems.. takes me 5 mins to set up..

    LAMO! :D

    what is the benefit of the flash over just overclocking it to the GTS speeds?

    Using the util is better as then you can fine tune the OC. If you bios flash you are stuck there as the start offs. Since the cooling solution isn't the best in those latops that could be a really bad thing.

    Are you sure? Most people say Under 90C.

    I had the exact same laptop(Asus G50VT-X5). Mine got to a max of 86C after like 2 hours of MW2 on the highest settings. @ OP, I'd say your temps are fine. When they get to 90, then start worrying. Furmark gets most laptop over 90C.

    ...regardless of the safety diff between 80-90c, ramsinks are tiny and sticky and improve cooling wherever you can fit them. also come in a variety of shapes and colors :D
