First.

Firstly, black ops is a bad benchmark game as it also lag and crash on mine. Try games like bad company 2. It's stable and could give a good indication.

By the way, did you upgrade your drivers?

How did you do that?

My G73 just reach at 97c on max load. Not good.

What is your ambiance temperature?

Seems like very good temps to me, if it's idle.

Welcome to the club, NUR_VER.3.

That is very good temps.

Mine never get lower than 75C ever. The worse thing is, mine goes up to 97C on a hot day.

I think JW has better cooling design than JH.

I did everything i can, but it still hit 97C on a very hot day. It was 36C on that day.

Im quite worried about my G73 now. :/

Asus wont care, as it is still in "acceptable" range.

You can try goggling ozgameshop or try to buy games from Steam. ozgameshop can get you very cheap games like 40AUD for a new game or much less for older games. The only problem is, you need to wait for 2 weeks for the game to arrive.

There will be a huge sale on Steam in the middle of this year. You can stock up games on that time too.

I pretty much get games from those places now, as i think, it will help me to save some money. While at the same time, play the game the way it's meant to be played.

The ratio of pirated game to original for me is probably like 1 to 5 now. Thanks to those 2 sites.

Im not sure whether ozgameshop will send games to malaysia, though.

There is an international version called 365games.co.uk.

Never use Winflash, as the chances to fail the BIOS update is very high, according to NBR.

Better use Ezyflash in the BIOS.

How is it now?

Seriously, you can afford to buy an Asus RoG laptop and now, you are using it to play pirated?

Shame on you. Original games are not as expensive as you think.

Screw drivers, anti static wrap and lots of patience.

1) No, not so far. Mine runs pretty ok. The temps a bit high, though.

2) Yes, either you repaste yourself, or sent to Asus Service Centre

3) When did you buy your G73? A1, A2 or B1?

1) 105 is way too high. You need to repaste.

2) Fix it yourself if possible, if not, you have to send to Asus Service Centre. It's not that hard, if you follow the instruction carefully.

3) That could be the reason. Or your fans are clogged up with dust balls.

I know that, as the temperature relies a lot on your ambiance temperature, the game you are playing and so on.

It is a fact that 5870 is very hot.

I just hope mine will never exceed 100C.

Sounds like RAM problem to me.

Maybe try to remove one of the RAM?

Nope. I'm still in Malaysia. Skipping first week.

Nope. No Black Ops group in Uni. To be honest, I don't really care cause I'm quite tired of CoD. It still run like crap on my G73.

Nope, with shader warming and shadows, the gawd damn piece of shit will start lagging.

Thats why i quit this game, and playing BC2 a lot since then.

Aussie servers for BO is terrible. Almost every server is Nuketown.
