yah i ask asus to apply for me tuniq tx-3 liao... no difference, maybe they bluff me

i heard the diamond carat is better by 3-5degree

and this is the G73JH owners + discussion thread

Yeah I know, maybe we need someone to maintain this thread or create new one with owners name list and problem/solution segment like mr.docter is doing on alienware thread...

i dunno about that, so far all my frens who used DHL via Comgateway is satisfied...no problems...

Anyways, It's you choice...I opt for that service because i feel more secure..(no need to think about M'sian Customs) ehehehehe.

Last time i had G51VX i apply Tuniq TX-3 myself got difference around 5 celcius, but since my G73JH is still under warranty i need to ask Asus to help me apply it, too bad no difference, btw, may i know what i said that was out of topic?

@evern: oops my bad..i din quote wat other ppl say ..nerodante is asking if we got thread for the G73Jh owners/problem + solution thread

@nerodante: well if u wan..u can actually create a thread for that purpose but i don't think is necessary..you can find TS of this thread and ask him to handle it

Congratulation . . . perhaps it's time for buying awesome accessories for your notebook now . . .

You can try to write a small review about your notebook . . . and also some unboxing pics would be great for others who wanted to know what is inside the "big box" . . .

@psjjl

I contacted Parcel Force, they say I just need to wait and the delays is all cause by the customs and they cant do anything about it. Customs here sure their own sweet time.

Our TS is not as active as Mr. Doctor unfortunately . . . seldom saw him online . . . that's the problem . . .

Idle 53C, Max load 85C (after 2 hours of crysis warhead on enthusiast and 800/1100 oc). I'll try taking screen capture n post here later. There are disassembly videos out there so can reapply tim easily. It's not as hard as it looks. To maintain ur warranty just remember to put all yellow stickers back to their original positions. There's no breakable hologram stickers (like windows serial) u have to worry about.

Around RM 140. Anything above and customers will have a better option.

Yes my young padawan, you must procure the mouse

That is his standard reply, meh. I think they couldn't get a good deal with DHL.

Where did you get the new vbios?!!? As far as I know there is no official vbios from Asus. All the vbios floating around the net for the G73 are modded, MSI or Clevo vbios that removes functionality one way or the other. Did you apply the ICD7 yourself or did you get the service center to do it?

I mean new vbios is the one i modded myself using Radeon bios editor. I unlocked ati overdrive, set the overdrive to run at 800/1100. GSOD never occur again, even in dragon's age origin or any game. I even ran furmark to trigger GSOD but even after 10 minutes it never happened (ICD7 kept it @85c max). Now I can install latest catalyst without any side effect. HDMI, vga all working. Oh yea, I applied ICD7 myself. Scared at first bcuz im not even a computer expert!!! But it all went easily...

Some disassembly guide of G73Jh to be shared with you guys. Enjoy!

http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gamin...mbly-guide.html

Chastity from NBR even had problems with her re-paste. After reading several threads where user's attempted to do a re-paste they screwed up the laptop even further particularly the keyboard. It's easy to obtain a replacement keyboard in the US but not down here in Malaysia. I'm just wondering if it's worth all the trouble just to re-paste the TIM when it could all be a timing issue with the Vrams that can be resolved from an updated vbios.

Yes you can

Added on August 12, 2010, 9:38 amI think GSOD has less to do with TIM re-paste, here's my guide to solve your GSOD

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry34776771

But if you ever need TIM re-paste just send it to ASUS they'll do it for you

Added on August 12, 2010, 1:57 pmUpdates on temp: last night i tried putting laptop on coolerpad coolermaster Notepal X2, idle/load at 62c/75c, clockspeed 750/1000, previously i get max 88c cos was putting laptop on top of pillow, well i guess it's good enough, i'm using Ziddy's V3 vBios from NBR and experiencing black SOD on Catalyst 10.7a, nerodante can you please share your vBios?
