@MousE0910:

im pretty sure this will solve the stuttering problem, did for me... the hdd is going to sleep every 30s or so in standard configuration of this notebook

quietHDD

install run auto on startup, and good

is any1 getting lag/delay when gaming using the vga ouput to an external monitor? My external monitor only has a 5 ms delay and i dont feel any delay when i use this monitor on my pc desktop.

Try switching the VGA cable. Also check if it's fully plugged in the laptop. There are no holes for screws to hold the cable so it can be a bit wobbly.

Thanks. Tried the app out but the stuttering is still there. It's better and doesn't appear as often as it used to but it's not 100% gone :-(
But it made at least some of the games somewhat-playable ;-)

EDIT: I did some further tweaking and I can play the games without stuttering now but my GPU and CPU reach extreme temperatures. Could anybody please point me how to tweak my fans to run 100%? I don't care about any noise they will be making. I read something about 3820tgtray but didn't understand much of it @_@ Thanks.

Easiest way is to make fan settings on second page, then save it (CreateBatchFile) and then load it from first page (OpenPatchFolder --> choose your file).
You can also look that "How TO" and download those files. Thats all it takes, I think. (goes to this post: Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG mods/tweaks ONLY! )

I don't know that do you have to run that program every time? It says it flashes those fan settings (to bios??). " Caution: it flashes the KBC" KBC..? hmm.. sounds like KFC.

I use slow, slow, slow, fast, faster, fastest on both fans.

Thanks. The fans are working like crazy but the temperatures went down to acceptable levels. Those batch scripts helped a lot ;-)

Are you using catalyst 11.11? I think it doesnt know how to use or adjust fans..

Yeah, I'm on 11.11 but as I said, those batch files work without problems :-)

Or it's overloading GPU cause since I've installed 11.11 the temperatures went so high and as I read here that's not only my opinion that this driver is a reason.

Let's hope the next version is going to fix this because I don't want to downgrade :-/
