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

Maybe a couple of frames different? laugh.gif laugh.gif

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. laugh.gif 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 if they found out it's a brand new laptop.

No, SSD is better. laugh.gif

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.

the main hard part is to figure out how to disassemble and reach the CPU... other than that it's pretty easy...

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!!

LOL, i know.

Well, the problem is, the Dell AU service is slow. Really really slow.

Gawd knows where the guy come from.

It took me 1 and half weeks to fix the HDD, while in Malaysia, 3 days max.

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.

I dont know, i just know that part of the laptop that is hot, there is a wifi card. Nothing else.

No idea why.

On the other hand, this is sweet too. Non HD screen is even better. It's G53, though.

Their G73,has Bluray too.

I suddenly thought of Online Computers because they sponsored Malaysian Fest last month.

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.
