Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820TG Review + discussion.

[ghandi]

Hopefully my 5820TG gets shipped tomorrow and I get it before the weekend. Will post benchmarks etc if I do.


Does Acer have any setting for turning off the fan when the temperature is low and if so try turning it off, sounds like it just goes max when turning on and it keeps looping because the temperature is just at the minimum for turning on.

No settings from Acer, they kinda ignore it i guess, i've tried all the 'hacks' i could find for acer but none of the is working with 5820TG.

sadly.. still looking for solution.

Write to the acer support again and again. Simple get on Acer's nerves day by day with a few user, punish the support fpr the bad fan control implementation.

Do it. Only posting in a forum doesn't help anybody.

How do you guys find the monitor? do you think that the colours are a bit washed out on the SEC3030monitor?

Yes,

the model 5650 belongs to the 5600 serie.

Yes I did understand that However it should be listed as a HD5650, and not as a card in that serie, dont you agree? I mean I never saw my GTX280 card got listed as Geforce 200 series before...

I've got an issue now with Starcraft 2 , which I am currently playing. My card will not be recognized by the game, and I have to manually set things up to high, including correct screen resolution for my comp. I have to do this to improve it's performance, cause the default settings from SC2 when it can't identify my card is really not playable.

Cant help that I suspect this identity problem with correct card in my device manager maybe causing this. But of course it can also be a fault done by Blizzard.

Any ideas?

freecb can you turn on your private messaging please?

Turned on.

well it does get listed as HD5650 with the acer drivers.. but it shouldn't matter anyway

Turned on.

Can you get this in the US yet? How much would the 5820tg weigh with the 6 cell compared to the 9cell? What do you guys think the 5820tg vs 4820tg pros and cons are?

Turned on.

I am playing SC2 at max at 40 fps. You have to go to BIOS, set up to Discrete an update to ATI CCC 10.7
