Nope.

if you look around the web, you'll see some stories about how someone gave their product for repair and it came back worse than before and similar stuff ....

well, my story is more with highpoint than with ASUS themselves. Never dealt with them before, but they did offer a free pick up from JB...

hm... i just think changing the thermal paste is like last ditch attempt... like me reformatting my windows...
what temps did you get on stuff like furmark? or the laptop cannot cope with furmark?

^he play games and got shutdown..

oh.... ok then no point using furmark....
but thermal paste wear out? ur notebook how old?

9 months ?

Your wifi still problem ?

so far no... i think that time got problem was my router, but i jump to conclusion and suspected my laptop instead.

Is there any settings/options on the wifi in device manager? like roaming aggresiveness or power transmit and such ?

that..... i don't know...

So far i have no problems with the laptop, just wondering if i can improve cooling by using a notebook cooler.

i get a slight increase by using a full body aluminium pad on the bottom. But that is only effective in aircon room. I'm pretty sure a pad with fan (especially the cooler master one with the huge fan in the middle and aluminium surface) because
1) the grills smack in the middle on the bottom and its huge
2)its very close to the surface, usually laptops have higher feet to raise the bottom up so air can move freely underneath, but this one is something like the macbook pros, sticks to the bottom so cooler pads will be very effective

btw i get a 2-3C drop with my aluminium pad and aircon... (that's huge for me since usually i can barely get 1C drop on other laptops...)

Recently, this thread seems to be a little bit "silent" . . .

All in "stealth" mode LOL

so boring, then i chat somethings la, got any1 plan to put in 16RAM...wakakaka

which cooler did u recommended for me to buy, for mbp, and asus

i recommend u buy COOLBALL^^...efficient,effective and CHEAP
good for asus g53 and g73 because both this model i feel that cooling very good and until now no sound come out from the fan yet^^

modify ur whole table. The place where you put laptop cut out that bit, replace with Aluminium/copper slab(aluminium better la... cheaper)

then on the underside make it like heatsink, with fins and everything. If want more power, add fans too xD and maybe some neon ah beng lights
