Hi, im evern here, viperion you repasted your G73? need some consultation before i take the lappy apart, i sent to Asus Royal club to repaste Tuniq TX-3 but the temperature is still high, noticed that you had only 87 C running furmark for 15 mins is awesome

alright hope to hear from u soon viperion, i'm willing to buy the IC diamond 7 and don't mind paying a little for the service

@Zapads: i think it's HDD loading, try high settings, i'm playing at 60fps silky smooth, or another solution is you might wanna get a SSD, oh and catalyst 10.8 improves SCII ALLOOOOTT, i estimate probably added 10fps.

no that's your BIOS version... you shud download the new vbios here

haha i also didn't notice... maybe shud make the font larger! bcos it's a critical issue

erm at least separate it from the rest of the links... cos i notice you say got but it took me some time to find the link

@Jeffrey thanks for the marking! hope it helps everybody that owns a G73JH with GSOD issues, with this vBios the laptop is perfect already

10.8 really fixed the performance hit on AA, previously benchmarking SFIV my framerate will drop by 10-20fps if 4x AA, now my woes are history. but somehow the AA doesn't work on SC2 using catalyst settings.

I think newer games shud be able to run on it but taking a big performance beating, i notice this big time on SC2, before the GSOD fix, i was taking my chances against GSOD rather than going back to using Catalyst 10.1

but turning on physx will reduce your fps no?

Just a short report of my friends G73JH purchase recently, he ordered a new RBBX05 model from HIDEVOLUTION, he chosen USPS express but they kind staff at HID upgraded it to FedEx without extra charges, laptop was ordered on Wed 13/10/10, and arrived on 18/10/10.

I've noticed some improvements on the laptop since my last order 3 months ago, Asus got the pasting process improved this time, his gc idles at 52c, mine which i ordered 3 months ago idles at 59. Other than that, my friends wan came with LG panel 1600x900 as opposed to my inferior AUO panel, and power adapter is branded as ASUS where else mine is some OEM.

Just some info for those that prefer a budget RBBX05 model, which is bought at 1.4k + 100USD shipping.

Yo guys i just did a repaste with Tuniq TX-3, the results are unbelievable, idling at 55 and furmark 10mins at 83c, 1 hour starcraft 2 brought my temps to only 74c

i was doing my research online, few sites suggest even Tuniq TX-2 performs better

here's one of them

and here's another benchmark with Tuniq TX-3

And of course the benefit of using Tuniq is easier to apply and clean.

Re-paste Tuniq TX-4 yields better result if you can get it.

It's cheaper everywhere around the world!

Cheesenium your temps are as good as mine, i think you don't have to repaste
-
before mine got re-paste furmark just raised my temp above 100c mark, after repasting with Tuniq TX-3 here's my result.

I'm using BIOS 211 which increases the fan speed during high temps.

Yup sandforce 1222

I'm using 10.8
