Acer Aspire 4530 nForce Drivers

Edit: New nForce Drivers

Check out the link here

Note only use the SMBus and PCI Drivers in this download.

Many Acer Aspire 4530 including mine did not come with nForce mainboard driver pre-loaded into the default disk image so I have uploaded the driver for Vista here.

It comes with Nvidia SATA Harddisk Controller driver as can be seen below


The new option AAM stands for Automatic Acoustic Management

1. It slows down your harddisk in exchange for a quieter and possibly longer lasting Harddisk
2. 128 is the lowest setting (Quiet) while 254 is the highest (Noisy)
3. As you can also see the harddisk controller supports Automatic Free Fall Protection however it isn't enabled because my Harddisk WD BEVT doesn't come with a Free Fall Sensor

If you upgrade to a harddisk that has a free fall sensor, Free Fall Control can be enabled

Alternatively
You can download the nForce driver from Nvidia Website
It contains

• Ethernet Driver (v67.86.2) WHQL
• NAM (v.67.93)
• Sata/IDE Driver (v10.3.0.42) WHQL
• RAID Driver (v10.3.0.42) WHQL
• RAIDTOOL (v10.3.0.42)
• SM Bus (v4.69) WHQL
• SMU (v1.61) WHQL
• GPU Driver (v178.33) WHQL
• AwyMode driver (v.6.0.6000.107)WHQL
• Installer (v6.14)

When installing you can install all of them but make sure you exclude the display driver as you are better off getting the newer 185.20 version from laptopvideo2go

Only the Beta driver offered by Nvidia website and the Beta Driver 185.20 from laptopvideo2go support CUDA and PhysiX at the same time
