@Jeffrey
Great job bro & congratulations on the new thread. You did a great job

Check this AWESOME link below for a guide to re-apply your TIM should you decide to do it. My IC Diamond 7 Carat has been confirmed and is en route to my location with and ETA of 6-7 days. I will have two extra tubes for sale for owners who are interested in reapplying their TIM. PM me if you have any interest in purchasing the IC Diamond 7 Carat from me. First come first serve basis and I would prefer C.O.D in K.L/P.J. I might be planning to apply the TIM myself and if I do my friend with E&E experience will assist me and whomever is interested in applying the TIM together. We can also have a gathering for the those who needs assistance

Interesting information for applying IC Diamond TIM:

Added on August 22, 2010, 6:49 amOfficial update thread for G73JH at NBR regarding GSOD issues (Upcoming Fix) & TIM issues. Please bear in mind the thread is huge and there is an Asus Technical Manager following the thread and posting updates when available regarding the GSOD issues and the poor application of Thermal Compound from the factory. For the GSOD fix I've gathered these information so far:

1.) Asus R&D team has a modified Vbios that resolves all GSOD issues. The only problem is if you are running bios 206 and lower, you will get GSODs even with stock drivers. However if you are using bios 209 and above it will resolve all GSOD issues with ATI reference drivers.

2.) Asus is working with ATI to resolve GSOD issues with the G73JH through the next iteration of catalyst drivers. Rumors are 10.8 catalyst will have codes to resolve GSODs with those affected by it. However this is a temporary fix as we will have to rely on ATI to include this code into every future releases to prevent GSODs. A Vbios will reslove this issue permanently as evident with the MSI Vbios.

I'm using the Razer Vespula and love it. I think it's value for your money for the wrist rest which is a god send and the dual surface.

The down side is the speed surface is easily scratched if your mouse feet is defective and it's not as easily transportable compared to a mouse pad like kabuto. It really depends on your needs but if you need a comfortable mouse pad to use for hours and love a wrist wrest get the Vespula.

With the Razer Vespula you get the option for a super smooth surface and a surface for control which is less smooth. It really also depends on the mouse you are using and with the right combination you could tweak the mouse and mouse pad to work to your needs I'm in KL and if we ever have a gathering you can check my mouse pad out.

You can also click on my nick and check my post. The information is in the previous thread and I posted the exact instructions with my experiences with wire transfer from Maybank to GentechPC.

For monitoring software use these:

AMD GPU Clock Tool ~ For monitoring your GPU and setting overclock and undercock settings

CPUID HWMonitor~ Overall system monitor, good for main CPU

GPU-Z ~ Another good GPU monitoring software. You can backup your original Vbios with this software

The software maybe couldn't recognize because he/she might not be human

The software depends on the number of different angles you took your snapshots. The more snapshots of your beautiful face you take the easier it will be for you to login. The ambient lighting in your surroundings also place a major part. I use the software and it's a novelty bloatware that is fun to miss with at times.

3% of USD 1650 = US 49.50 X 3.2 = RM 158.40.

If that's not a lot to you I'll PM you my bank number and I can chill

Not ambush, just wanted to point out a fact. Sorry wasn't meant to be a flame or an ambush

Any payment that doesn't incur service charges to the vendor will be eligible for the 3% discount. Credit cards & paypal charges the vendor for each transaction that's why those who pay by credit card doesn't get the discount

What kind of updates you looking for?

My new Intel WiFi card arrives today with 3 tubes of IC Diamond 7

**Viperion** eagerly waits for the DHL delivery man

Huh? You mean they sold out at GentechPC? Did Ken inform you they are not going to restock due to the JW launching soon?

New Catalyst driver is out. According to the Asus Tech Manager in the NBR forums, this update should fix the GSOD issue. I've just updated and will run some test. I will report here tomorrow after I try some GPU intensive games. For those who are adventurous, you can try the beta vBios from Asus from the link below:

Beta vBIOS update from ASUS

**WARNING**
Not for non technical people and this update will brick your GPU or laptop. If you are not sure what to do then do not attempt this at all. For those who have done vBIOS updates before please try it and report the results here. Thank You.

I will try to test with the new catalyst drivers first as they claim it will fix the GSOD issues. Here's hoping it works and we don't have to flash the beta vBIOS.

Could you report your temps when your GPU is under load. I've noticed the weather has been getting rather hot lately & my temps have risen about 10c since I first got the notebook. It used to idle around 54c but now it's idling around 64-70c. I smell a TIM re-paste coming

I honestly do not know but most probably I will let the service center re-paste my TIM because I want to try my luck for the LCD. I currently have one dead pixel and if I'm smart enough I could get them to replace the LCD, re-paste my GPU and CPU as well

Correct. Any games/softwares that puts stress on the GPU will tend to make your unit GSOD.

My package from DHL arrived

Received my Intel 6200 Wifi card and three tubes of IC Diamond 7

Sales thread coming up soon

I got those temps in the first three weeks of ownership. After about one month, the temps started to go up and now I'm idling around your loads and maxing around 80~90C. I think the original TIM is degrading and I need to repaste

Dude, you are taking the wrong course. Ever thought of business

Wouldn't touch MSI with a 100 foot pole

You can do it if you are living overseas like the USA because you have great support there. We have confirmation the G73JH will be supported here with international warranty but what about MSI?

Sorry for the no report yet, I am still working now at a customer's house
