IC Diamond 7 Carat Re-paste preview:

Thanks

Nope If service center dares to void my warranty they will get a call from USA telling them to honor the warranty. If you check on NBR, many users have done it and there are some service center that tried to void the warranty. In the end they had to honor it because Asus is aware of the problem. You can either show them the email from customer support stating if you re-paste & didn't break anything the warranty is still valid or you can PM Asus Customer/Gary Keys and tell them your problem. Your warranty will be void if the following happens:

1.) Visible proof that the notebook have been opened by user with the following conditions:

2.) Any parts broken/damaged by user during attempt to open notebook. Warranty will be void for the broken part/item. Eg: Keyboard, clips, cables, etc. etc.

3.) Warranty sticker broken at CPU heatsink.

Point 1 is not valid enough for the warranty to be void and needs to be in combination of point 2 or 3. This has been confirmed by members in NBR

Yeah 3D vision by connecting your laptop to a compatible LCD 3D TV through a 1.4 HDMI cable. Anyone care to factor the cost just to get all of those items just to get the 3D function working?

The only consolation is they provide a free software worth $39.99 to convert your standard SD to a so call "3D" experience. The other items you have to purchase separately. When will people get it the 3D technology now is way over hyped with the stereoscopic 3D glasses. I for one will never wear one for more than even 1 hour. Imagine wearing one for a long gaming session like 5-7 hours, I will go blind by then

It's a wireless technology that allows you to stream HD content to your LCD TV. Check the link below:

Intel Wireless Display

LMAO! Then die liao lor after several minutes I wonder if you will spontaneously combust if you attempt it for over an hour

I think that's what they are claiming. One more ICD7 tube left, just sold one to Kaizoku yesterday

It should perform better than the 360m but I still say most of these 3D options will be a white elephant for most standard users. I already find 3D LCD TVs stupid due to the need for wearing glasses and carrying around a 3D capable gaming laptop around tops it. I can imagine myself in some cafe or Macdonald's gaming casually on my G73JH but I can't imagine myself in these public place donning a stereoscopic 3D glasses looking like some major dork geek

Overall if you are getting this option without any additional cost then go ahead and purchase it. If you already have the G73JH it is not worth the investment and time to change the notebook now. 3D technology is still at it's infancy and if this does not get adopted fast you will regret the investment you put into it. I still think they might develop something like in the movie "Paycheck" in the near future Now that's what I call 3D!

Well you should do some un-boxing pictures/videos. Maybe a comparison between the gx660r and the G73JH. Your overall thoughts , value for money, etc. etc.

OMFG! That's one huge ass mouse Nice buy there

Where are you located at? We need to have an official TT soon so we all can share experiences and have some fun

Don't worry, we accept all members in this thread, LMAO!

Yeah I was thinking of that too but I'm afraid my G73JH might become a distribution Kiosk for free softwares, LMAO! We could plan for something like that and probably drag Jeffrey's butt back down here to join us

Like Jefferey said it really depends on your requirements and preferences. I am an ATI fanboy even though they failed me this time with the 5870 of the G73JH but they can't take the blame wholly. It was also Asus fault for not working with ATI to ensure the GSOD issues was rectified quickly. If you are into the whole 3D thingy then it should be good for you

I'm not worried about the cooling system of the new chassis as I've opened mine up and I can tell you it's the best I've seen in any laptop ever, period. Let's hope the monkeys in the factory can apply the TIM properly and Asus decides to use better quality TIM that doesn't degrade over time If they got this issues right we would see less heat problems on the A1. GSOD is another issue.

Great news, I've been busy with work and I've not been on NBR in a few. Thanks, I'll look into it ASAP when I can

LMAO! Don't worry I won't use my hands, just some creative way I'm not "that" either, LOL! Well if you are ever at Peninsular give me a ring and I'll gather the KL members to "take care of you", ROFL!

I'll check on the new vBios and some comments before testing it out. I've skipped the first vBios by Chastity because the reports at NBR was around the 50% success rate. I'll flash the moment it hit around 75% rate and report back at this thread.

Congratulations! Welcome to the family and enjoy your new toy. Don't worry, let us know if you have any GSOD and we will do our best to assist you. I've had 4 GSOD in total since my upgrade to Catalyst 10.7 on the day it came out and never again

I re-pasted my unit with IC Diamond 7 about a week ago. You are not the first to mention this, there is another owner who got the Asus Royal Club to re-paste and noticed no changes in temperatures. I suspect they did not re-paste your unit as it really takes a lot of work just to reach your GPU. Check my post and you can find some pictures of my laptop dis-assembly and a screenshot of Furmark running for 7 hours ++ with a max of 93C reported I accidently left Furmark running and fell asleep on the day I re-pasted my unit.

On a side note, I still have one more tube of IC Diamond 7 for sale at RM 55 for interested owners. I've also checked with my friend and if anyone needs service to open and re-paste their laptop he will do it for a fee. PM me or contact me for those who are interested.

Update: Oh, it was you evern, LMAO! What happened to your other account?

Check your vBios version and report it back here and I might have an answer for you. What is your clock/mem speed set at now?

No RAID options for the G73xx

Look ma, I kept my guns

211 is the motherboard bios. Get a software like GPUz and take a screen shot
