  • you should NOT have your notebook constantly plugged in.

  • why?

  • it dies.

  • It still works after two years... so does the fan, it fixed itself!

  • I contacted ASUS by email & they organised my laptop to be picked up, repaired & then returned via courier. In my opinion, they were great with service & honoring the 2 year warranty. Sadly, they only cleaned the dust out of the laptop (fans etc) & did a BIOS update of which I could have done here at home. I'd recommend buying a CoolerMaster Notepal cooler to help maintain airflow and assist in keeping laptop cool. It will only get dusty again & require another clean soon.

  • My F3Sv has just turned a year old & the 8600M GS is getting insanely hot & BSOD whilst running any heavy/demanding 3D applications. The GPU fan is running @100% RPM most of the time in an effort to cope. I contacted ASUS & they advised me to send it to a Service Centre. I have tried underclocking & even different driver's but all to no avail. A simple clean & new thermal paste will not fix the problem.

  • I have the same problem. From what I've read, there were a lot of 8600m gs cards that were defective and the heat has something to do with the card's heat cycles (whatever that means). I have the same problem with the fan, but that's not a big deal. BOTTOM LINE: NEVER BUY AN ASUS LAPTOP, customer service sucks and they just plain suck!

  • Volgens mij is er iets mis met je koeler. Ik denk dat je hem het beste op kunt sturen naar Asus. Vaak heb je hem dan binnen 3 maanden al in dezelfde staat terug. Succes!

  • that doesn´t sound very good =/

    I think the fan is a general problem becuase mine is very loud to, but i took a long time till that came, but i haven´t found an answer to the probleme with the fan and as far as i could the, the fan can not be replaced

  • I send it back to Asus two weeks ago with this problem, the only thing they did is clean up the fan and reset the bios. I had already cleaned up the fan before I sent it.

    I think I'll have to wait till it really stops, destroying my CPU and VGA. But for now it stops after a minute or so.
