The main reason im getting from Gentech is, i want the repasting done by the supplier, rather than the inexperience me.

I'll probably destroy it than repaste it properly.

well yeah. that's for u. I'm so gonna dissassemble my a8jr this weekend and repaste cpu and gpu. Bloody laptop force shut down when overheats. doh.gif

G73JH Pros over GX660R:

That's true

True, it tend to run games better than G73JW, in most cases.

U know those games with Nvidia logo before game main menu loaded... sweat.gif

QUOTE(astria @ Oct 18 2010, 09:04 AM)
i really would prefer NV if games are a concern...

their drivers are too good to ignore...
*
Quite true, that's how they managed to make GTX 260m so strong till now. Driver boosts the gpu performance itself.

crysis 2 will be on physx gimmick again. so.... i duno if gtx460m will gain more fps compared to HD5870m yet. AFAIK, GTX 260m managed to dethrone HD3870m easily last time but not HD4870m yet. sweat.gif

I think with better drivers, 460M might dethrone 5870.

these's the posibility as GTX 460m is very close to HD5870m performance.

It is already very close now, IMO.

Just a few fps lower.

that's why i'm holding back my cash if i were to go for HD5870m. biggrin.gif

I think i do need a new laptop, as my aging M1530 is having problems, like getting hotter and showing some signs of another GPU failure.

Mine not gpu failure more like thermal paste caked to extreme and gpu overheats coz asus designed my a8jr to have the copper pipes for cpu and gpu are shared. so both are spreading heat to each other which result in force shut down sometimes.

or maybe u reapply thermal compound on the CPU and GPU???

those on my Asus are nothing to shout abt (thermal blu-tak anyone? laugh.gif well, they look like blu-tak anyway)... there's significant improvement after i put in my own OCZ Freeze... nod.gif

do u really need to open up till that point???

i merely remove the heatsink and the pipes only, juz enuf to reach for the CPU...

Mine is different, the back plate of the chasis can't reach as the copper pipe is below and blocked by the delta fan blower.
