Ask King of Interns, he made this.

Angel Marinov has a project in his mind.

Hello guys,i have a big problem with my C90S. I replaced the original E6600 with a E7400 (after updating the bios with the 1003 version that came on the first pages of this discussion),but now when I unplug the power and reconnect the pc freezes and I have to shut it down brutally! Do you know how to fix this?

Hi,

I hope this thread is still a bit alive? I'm looking for spare parts for the Asus C90, especially a video card replace. Where can I buy one? (e.g. a 8600 GT 512MB replacement)

Hi,

You may have a look at this diy from NightWalker
Or here from Angel Marinov.

you can get them on ebay.
I used a 8600GT card that was intended for a ACER laptop, it was 80$ cheaper, only diff was that the mounting holes were smaller, but was easily able to get around that. It has been working for two years like this.
good luck,

c90s

10/4/2007 - ordered date

1472 days or
4 years 11 days or
127,180,800 seconds or
2,119,680 minutes or
35,328 hours or
210 weeks (rounded down)

i got it originally from excaliberpc for $979.

just for fun i divided the total hours of ownership with the cost to get this:

979/35328 = 0.02771173007246376811594202898551



in comparison, my compal cl50 (vendor gamepc/model gpnm2) is still kicking:

7/30/2003 - ordered date
2/15/2011 - today date

2757 days or
7 years, 6 months, 16 days or
238,204,800 seconds or
3,970,080 minutes or
66,168 hours or
393 weeks (rounded down)

i got it for $1,575.78 from gamepc.com. the battery never worked. i sent it back twice and both time the battery would be ok for several days but then dies. so i gave up on rma'ing the battery back.

what's remarkable is the cl50 runs nearly 24/7 while i use the c90s every now and then. yet after 7 years, cl50 still running and only after 4 years the c90s kicked the bucket.

Hi all. I've been a long time observer but first time poster on this forum, and I'd just like to say a massive thanks to all those who've publicised some very neat updgrades for this little mean-machine that I've had for 4+ years now.
I've only really gone as far as installing an E7500 and clocking it to a nice and stable 3.2GHz, but am now seriously considering an ATI or Nvidia GPU upgrade as I'm still stuck with my 8600GT (DDR2). This runs extra hot now that my CPU barely generates any heat (and thus fans stay at v.low speed) so I think a fan mod and some panel drilling will be on the cards when I find the time.
The laptop itself has really performed for me as I take it with me to music gigs, either for music or for VJing. It tends to get very hot in such places and suffers lots of abuse in the form of audio vibrations and 'moist' atmospheres! It's hung on me a couple of times but luckily not at crucial moments and I have to say it's served me very well with no real need for upgrading yet.

Anyway, I would like to know what kind of GPU upgrade would be cost-effective and keep my lappy running cooler than my current card. I hear that ATI seem to generate a lot less heat and would consider a 3670 or maybe a 4x70 although I'm not really so bothered about GPU power as the heat, plus costs are still a bit high. Would consider a 9600M GS or GT if they run cooler as well. I'm just after a reasonable, cool card and not to bothered about gaming.

hey Fluencist,

are u still interested in upgrading your GPU? I could offer you a unused GeForce 9600m GT DDR3 (which runs way cooler and is performing much better)

9600m GT Upgrade Forum: [NW] Upgrade the C90S to a 9600M GT 512MB DDR3 [FIXED!]

just send me a PM.

Hi everyone,

I think every owner of C90S wants to have the fans running at full speed constantly, and at his request.
Please could you have a look to this, I don't really know if it works on C90S, but I think it's worth a try.

Hello everyone,

I'm very happy to tell you that the software works on the C90S.
