Maybe a repasting will do?

Here we go again.

G73JH had that problem, but solved with BIOS flash.

I might as well get AW since im in Aus and dont have to worry about customs, if G73JW gonna have a lot of silly problems like G73JH initially.

well, i do see G73Jh selling for around AU$2.2k here...

True, hybrid HDD and EAX 4.0.

The only thing i dont really like is, i need to do the repasting myself.

I know it;s 133MHz, but will it be noticeable?

Maybe a couple of frames different?  

The reason that Gentech owns is because they can do the repasting for me,BIOS update,3 years international warranty and i get 133 MHz more. I dont get EAX4.0 and hybrid HDD,though. The bad thing if i get form Gentech is, i might get fined and lost RM1k to the damn customs.

Im quite scared to be frank, as i never did a repasting myself.

Scared i destroy my whole com.

Other than that, im actually ok with it.
Yea, but im pretty much wanting G73JH now, and the one at Gentech does not have EAX4.0 if im not wrong.

No, SSD is better.

Well, worth considering, as both option are quite good, IMO.

I need to learn how to do repasting then. Starting with my old laptop. Maybe i should file a complain and get the GC fixed before the warranty runs out.

Man, thats doggy man.   

I thought im bringing weed or something. Then, you'll see me on Border Security, running with a G73 in my hands.

well, if you google on how to change the thermal paste, it's quite complicated for G73, as you need to remove the monitor,keyboard to reach the GPU and CPU. Then, thats the problem with dual fan system, you need to remove 2 fans separately.

After, if nothing goes wrong, awesome!!

I know, but the problem is, if i repaste and i screw up everything, i only can blame myself. If the repaste guy do and he screw up, i can ask for replacement.

Thats just a minor concern, though. I have to try la, on my aging Dell first, as it's ridiculously hot now.

It seems the pasting isnt really the problem, but the wifi is overheating like crazy.

Seriously, thats what i want, and it's under 2k!

I'll take a lower res screen than a high res one any day.

Flying frame rates >>>> Full HD.

G73JW seem to have better thermal pasting. Seems like Asus has learnt it's lesson with G73JH.

I might as well just wait for the low res G53 then. 1300x700 is more than enough for me. Hell, im still playing 800x600 on some older games because i want more flashy effects.

Any idea when is G53 releasing?

It's either G53 low res version, or the more expensive G73JH with Blu Ray, Hybrid HDD and EAX4.0. I think it still worth the price, as i get quite a lot of extra stuff.

I'll get it local, as i know the guys from Online Computers.

Damn, thats a bit too long to wait,though.

Thats true,though.

Even with the Blu Ray writer on it, i think that extra RM1k is worth it.

May I know whether it is significant for you guys to show my face or not? Kinda shy 

If yeah, I may do it in my future vid. 

New Video from GenTechPC. Enjoy!

Wow, it's not exactly smaller than G73.

The temps are good, though.

Might be picking up my G73JH-FHD on this weekend, as my M1530 is dying on me. The wifi chip is unstable, and it's dropping wifi more often now.

I can't get a 3% discount using the TT right? and how long does it take to clear the TT payment?
(so far this is what i plan... G53Jw with bluray upgrade, shipping using standard comgateway shipping. The box is 8kg, So the shipping cost should be 70 US)
hopefully the total will be under 5.3k MYR

but i dun want 3D D= and i really want fullHD...
ok, i think i'll go with the TT option... since i can't set up e-check using paypal easily...

Should I email ken about my order? or just order it anyways? TT is wire transfer right?
and the billing address? not important?

So this is essentially what I'm supposed to do right?
1)place order with Gentech PC
2)Pay using check, and then TT them the money. The shipping address, use the one provided by comgateway
3)wait for payment to clear and package to arrive at comgateway warehouse
4)Pay comgateway to send the package back to Malaysia

oh dam, i forgot to apply the 3% discount...
