Guys, I was one of the guys way back (did a bunch with Thomas in the starts and jumped to clover before many on this product) so I have experience way back, even chatted with Akbar during the bios days but can't get in touch with him. My main question is I am taking the leap to get this box going again (for my kids now) and have some issues. I have been very ill and recovering from some serious illness and lost some memory and other issues with the mind during it all so please be easy with me
I am going to attempt to get this all going these next few days, but something is scaring me now as I have heard of many people whose 5750gs are dying now and they are realizing the fan control doesn't work on the 1.21 akbar bios. Does this also have issues in OSX ? Is it just the windows guys? Regardless, do you guys see a problem with me using 1.20 as I think it doesn't have the fan issues.
Much appreciated,
TVO
Hi thevoiceover
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your illness, I have been away for the easter weekend. I have posted above ref temperature, and how i have got around this (disassemble laptop, clear all dust, remove cpu, and GPU, clean both and then add new paste and reassemble). I bought a new fan from ebay and managed to get a reasonable reduction in temperature.
I use this laptop only for OSX and soo may have gotten a longer life out of it by not hammering it with games (windows)...I do look after it a great deal, as i do not have the spare funds to buy a new one at the moment.
