    The AMD heatsink is designed for 35W, that extra heatpipe allows it to deal with the 45W intel CPUs and even 55W so yes.

    Thanks Meaker.

    The last thing. Does it fit perfectly the same for AMD CPU?

    If all is ok, I am gonna switch that for sure in a future. As I researched it there is some samples to buy but with huge price (used with grade C ~30$, new ~70$) + overpriced shipping price to me at 25$. I am not sure if it is rly worth it. If you have some cheaper source please inform me

    lol there was not any insult. maybe you dont exactly understand what I am writing (so I can suppose cause for example acivando isnt an english word even o.0)
    the other side is that not everyone have another screen. So the problem still exists.

    Check your temps. I dont think it is the cause but in the past I experianced the stipes/glitches when my 3d card overheated. Try using turbo fan and see if it is stil there.

    No

    I tested playing the elder scrolls online beta with and withour disableing the iGpu... conclusion, the dGPU is 10 Grad higher with "dGPU only setting".
    If i play in bios to "only dGPU", the temperatur get up to 82 Grad than the Fan blows fullspeed, the Temp go down to 77, than it goes high again.

    the Notebook is 5 Weeks old and not much used. No Dusk in there or something.
    I thought i will buy a Notebook cooler like Coolermaster NotePal U3.

    happened to me too. Luckily Raul, told me where the bios battery is hiding. Try removing battery for a few minutes, if you do not fix will have to disassemble the keyboard (look tutorial) and make cmos, disconnect the battery and magically returns to normal. Do not touch anything without knowing brick falls, follow guides Raul.
    if you mean the screen resolution in display properties win 8

    keyboard when you retire, find a yellow rubber blister which leave two wires one red and one black, open the blister with minimal damage, to gain access to one of the cables and so desconeztalo. Once completed our purpose, you need to position the cable to your terminal in the position it was in the stack and cerrardo electrician with electrical tape
