Asus N55SF Owners Lounge

Thanks very much, thats a big help but won't there be a problem activating it due to the product key being OEM? Would I have to phone Microsoft or will it activate automatically? Thanks a lot

Nope have never had a problem using the key that came with any laptop as long as you are using a 64 bit key for the correct 64 bit OS no dramas. Recently used it on my DM1

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and first of all I want to say hello to all of You!
I've bought N55SF S1472 and upgraded it with OZC Vertex 3 240GB, now I want to ask you several questions.
1. Could someone help me about 2nd hdd caddy which will replace dvd drive, I was planning to remove dvd drive and put there 750gb hdd that I got with this laptop, so if someone could provide me with a link from ebay for that 2nd drive caddy 'cos I don't know if they are the same for every brand of notebook.
2. I was also planning to buy a blu-ray optical drive (I know that I cann't put at the same time optical drive and 2nd hdd caddy but I want to buy it anyway) so then again I would appriciate someone to provide me a link to blu-ray burner.
3. And finally, is there some kind of tutorial on how to replace dvd drive and put 2nd hdd caddy/blu-ray burner when I buy one (I know that I'll be loosing guarantee)? what I need to do? Remove keyboard to remove screws or something else?
Thnx in advance!

Hi everybody,

I just upgraded RAM to 16Gb in my ASUS N55SF-S1262V - 2x8Gb Corsair SO-DIMM 16GB KIT DDR3 1333MHz CL9. Memory is located under front bottom cover (as like HDD is) - 2 screws, so change takes 2minutes. Result: (CPU-Z Validator 3.1)


I'm also recommending SSD drive for booting windows and every day used data - the speed is amazing. I bought Samsung SSD830 256GB Notebook kit. I never use cdrom drive so I removed it and I mounted original HDD drive to cdrom bay. I used a $10 CD-Rom HDD caddy from ebay (12.7mm SATA 2nd HDD caddy for ACER BENQ HP DELL ASUS | eBay). It's simple 10 minutes modification: under middle cover (1screw) there is a screw marked with CD image which will release CDRom drive. Just get cdrom out, carefully remove cdrom drive front panel and put in onto hdd caddy (you must remove caddy's front panel). Then mount HDD into caddy, put back to cdrom bay... mount cdrom screw and cover back and you're done. I'm lazy, so I installed windows to SSD and left original system and restore partition on HDD drive - as backup.


Anyone wants increase graphic performance ?

Hi All

I bought 2, N55SF, Core i5, last week, refurbished from PC world, looks new though, may be end of line as new N55SL has come in, hence sold as refurbished. Anyway, nice laptop, great sound and display.

I am just configuring it. Updated the Nvidia driver, but when i click on 3d vision pack, it says "primary display's adapter does not support 3d vision". Is it that I will need external display for 3D or some other settings need to be done?
The image through web cam is blurry (picture made up of small small square) in both the laptops, I have tried changing resolution in lifeframe not much different in between the resolutions. What can be the problem? Tried updating the webcam driver, it is upto date (microsoft 2006). Both the laptops are showing same blurry web cam image, and web cam has a bit of lag as well. Please guide me thru setting the web cam.

Thanks

Hi All,

Needed help here. i just bought the Asus N55SF, it comes with Win7 64 Home. Very works fine untill a tried to switch it to Win7 32bits. i dont seem to able to find (x86) drivers for the grahpic card and worst the wireless network. now i'm stuck. Asus site doesnt provide any 32bit driver for the PC. can any one here advice me?

it will be great if you can send me the link to download. fyi tried many driver online but non work. i guess the most important is the wireless driver. with that i should at least able to do a window updates and i should find the graphic or other drivers.

Thank you.

First off why switch to 32! You will not be able to use the full 6/8gb of ram that came with the system!

Nvidia Drivers

Wrt to wireless driver, use the factory back up then see what is fitted.

However l think you are MAD!

Aye you need a 3D enabled external monitor for the N55SF as the display that is fitted is your bog standard 2D affair

Hi guys! I have played with my lappy for a while and tried to get the best 3dMark06 score with out overvolting my GPU. So here it's is NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor,ASUSTeK Computer Inc. N55SF score: 14467 3DMarks this is one of the best scores I got with my GT555m overclocked at 779(core)/1083(memory), ex. my score with out overclock is around 12000!
Have anyone tried the volt mod?

Hi Guys,

I am planning to buy asus N55SL this weekend. I am concerned about the keyboard. I am ok with the looks but I wanted to know whether there is enough feedback for key press? Or are there some other issues with keyboard?

Are there any issues with wifi signal strength/lan adapter issues so far in general?

PS: I need to buy it online , so I cant test a real one until I buy.
