    hi guys..

    just wondering what is the s2 button assigned to? it suppose to trottle down the cpu right? but i dont see a suitable task to assign s2 button that will do that.

    by the way the model is sz330.

    is there a particular app i need to install and then assign it to launch upon pressing s2?

    thanks :)

    you mean throttle down the fan.
    I don't think there is an option to throttle down the cpu.

    you can config s1, s2 to do whatever you want. (except throttle down the cpu)

    errr... i m not sure is it trottle down cpu or trottle down fan... but i m sure s2 is assign to do one or the other right?

    the problem now is my s2 is not assigned to do any of it... but i can assign it to do other stuff like launching app and all... so my issue here is, how can i get my s2 button to do either trottle down cpu/fan ? if there is a driver/software, which one is it or where can i get it?

    thanks :D

    default s2 is the slow down the fans, which decreases cpu power some. if you go into the settings you can see if you keep pressing s1 or s2.
