QUOTE(nerodante80 @ Aug 11 2010, 02:39 PM) Is there any thread for G73JH owners like the Alienware mothership? I like to state my name as one proud owner of a G73JH-A1, and discuss about performance of this machine, it's problems and solutions etc. Oh yea, i managed to solve the famous GSOD problem already (using latest catalyst 10.7 and new vbios), and running very cool after reapplying tim (ICD7). Cheers... Our TS is not as active as Mr. Doctor unfortunately . . . seldom saw him online . . . that's the problem . . .

QUOTE(amir_kaldra @ Aug 13 2010, 06:20 AM) @Jeffrey1987 60 pounds because Ken declared the laptop value for USD 300. Convert to pounds multiply with 0.175 add services charge = 60 pounds. Laptop in great conditions They believed that the notebook costs 300 USD?  What is your next step? Accessories . . .

QUOTE(Viperion @ Aug 13 2010, 06:28 AM) Just Flashed to Bios v211 without any problems. WARNING! Fans are significantly louder than before! I couldn't hear my fans before but now I can actually hear them spinning. To early to report thermal readings just yet  May I know how you flash your BIOS? I'm afraid I will brick my notebook . . .

I'm kinda choke up when I heard some of the users who said that they can't play a particular game as I have never tried any high end games before on my notebook. . . . played only Devil May Cry 4 before . . .

QUOTE(Viperion @ Aug 13 2010, 05:45 PM) So far all high end games runs on my rig without any problems except when I update to the latest catalyst 10.7. I've just installed catalyst 10.7a but I haven't tested it yet. I only had 3 GSOD on 10.7 but that was running stock clocks at 700/1000. If I use AMDGPU tool to overclock to 705/1100 the GSOD will not happen. Please do note 10.7/10.7a increases idle temps by about 5~10 degrees. I used to idle at 55~60c now I'm idling at 60~66c  I'm really a noob on this BIOS or VBIOS thing . . . have to google it up after my exam and learn something from it . . .

Great mini review . . . short and exact! Oh yea, do you think that the USB ports on your right hand side are kinda too close with each other? I can't plug 2 thumb drives at the same time.

QUOTE(Kaizoku @ Aug 13 2010, 09:40 PM) true, but since I'm used to have 3 usb ports, so it is not really a problem with me..hehehe...but come to think of it, my previous laptop have firewire ports...but maybe it's not widely used, so Asus did not include it in this model...maybe.. i think... Yea, the only downside of Asus G73Jh is having minimal port connectivities.  e-SATA port is not included as well . . . This post has been edited by Jeffrey1987: Aug 13 2010, 09:49 PM

QUOTE(Viperion @ Aug 15 2010, 01:15 AM) You don't have to download  Just call me when you are back down here  Remember that list I mailed you earlier? I'm about 70% done on that list and it has actually grown since the last time I mailed you  Just make sure you have a big external drive when you visit I haven't got to that one yet but everything I install goes to the default deskstop resolution of 1920X1080. Check your CCC settings or it could be the stock drivers from Asus but even that I remembered the first game I installed on my laptop was at 1080. It was C&C 3  Thanks for you offers . . . I will definitely get "them" from you if I'm at Malaysia. Don't worry.  For the time being, I can only resort the current situation by downloading "them" from internet.
