(came with Win 10 Home, wiped immediately) UEFI Arch install on GPT partitioning scheme. The wifi took some work, but wasn't a big deal and is very fast and stable. The keyboard does light up with the plain white lights that are all I need. Nvidia GTX980M graphics card w/8 Gb's gDDR5 RAMĮverything works except the 'rainbow' lighted effects on the keyboard. Killer Networking, wifi and ethernet, both working! The wifi is the Killer Wireless 1535 cardĦ USB 3.0 Ports 1 mini display, 1 Thunderbolt, 1HDMI ports SteelSeries Keyboard (mechanical) best kb I've ever personally used.

It's a bit clunky, but as a temporary workaround i have re-mapped the screen brightness keys using xbindkeys and xdotool.ģ2 Gb's of Dual Channel DDR4 1333Mhz (2666Mhz) RAM Network: Card: Intel Wireless 7265 driver: iwlwifi bus-ID: 01:00.0ĭrives: HDD Total Size: 128.0GB (3.0% used) ID-1: /dev/sda model: LITEON_CV1 size: 128.0GB Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.5.0-1-ARCH Graphics: Card: Intel Skylake Integrated Graphics bus-ID: 00:02.0ĭisplay Server: N/A driver: N/A Resolution: 130x30Īudio: Card Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:1f.3 Mobo: ASUSTeK model: UX305CA v: 1.0 Bios: American Megatrends v: UX305CA.201 date: ĬPU: Dual core Intel Core m3-6Y30 (-HT-MCP-) cache: 4096 KBįlags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx) bmips: 6051Ĭlock speeds: max: 2200 MHz 1: 1900 MHz 2: 1899 MHz 3: 1899 MHz 4: 1899 MHz Machine: System: ASUSTeK (portable) product: UX305CA v: 1.0 My question is: are the Vista drivers compatible with Windows7, or will an automatic driver updater download the proper version (being that it is showing everywhere that it's F5SL even when it's not).System: Host: arch Kernel: 4.5.0-1-ARCH x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.3.0) Desktop: Xfce 4.12.3 (Gtk 2.24.28)

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit version (updated) Pentium Dual CPU T3200 ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series 3GB RAMĪll of this in a ASUS X59SL motherboard, that is now showing up as an ASUS F5SL.īIOS version is 306 American Megatrends Inc. Now they are at 70ºc idle, and while i'm typing this having only Firefox running, they are at 82º! Tried running a NDS emulator and it went to 90ºc before i shut it down. The temperatures used to be at 50ºc when idle, 75ºc tops when stressed. So, after some years without doing a clean install, i finally did one.
