For me bf4 is a bit of disappointment. There's still have a lot of improvement need to implement, but i like the swimming and ladder climbing part. Hopefully the bugs it will all fix when the premium is out.

As you can see the temp is exceed safe level... In long term it will kill the laptop...

So, its time to tear them apart...

Since we have the disassemble guide at the 1st page, let me cut the story short.. just explain the important parts when disassemble the G55.. Basically I using 1 screwdriver on the right to rule all the different size of the screw flex.gif

Things that you must be very very careful when you open up the keyboard compartment is to remove the pin underneath, It happen that i forget to remove it and almost damage the pin...

If you can follow the disassemble guide well, will you should able to get this motherboard out of your laptop. Flip it, and the CPU & GPU is there...

Open it up with screwdriver and you can see the Asus cheapo thermal paste that stick to the CPU & GPU... shakehead.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Now i wana share my little experience of overclocking secret with you brows.gif brows.gif ... No need to use ArctiClean to remove thermal grease.. Just use this, RM5 je~ whistling.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


See?? GPU thermal grease already removed... So easy mar~~ biggrin.gif

Lets do it at the proc side....

b4 that... play play with the proc lar laugh.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


now its cleaning time... See?? kilat2 saja...
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Come to this stage, no need to tell you how to apply the thermal already lah... BTW i am using Arctic MX-4 because it's non-conductive thermal paste. nod.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Side Note: Dun ever try to use 100% conductive thermal paste such as coollaboratory thermal compound.
My understanding is because laptop is too sensitive for this kind of thermal compound. We facing difficulty to boot up the system. So becareful when choosing the thermal compound...

tonberry_ax eh at some part of the pics i can see my ipad there~ hahaha.. yellow yellow colour..

ah sure also will put on the front page biggrin.gif

welcoming anyone from the G75 G750 or G46 to rip apart their laptop~ so we can show off at the front page :claps:

regarding the coolaboratory i've read that you can actually use it but make sure it won't be spilled at all to the pins beside the GPU or CPU (if any) or it will trigger the MOBO safety for short circuit ( which i think is cleverly built if not another MOBO will fry~ coz of short circuit.. go asus go!)

eh tonberry i think i want to try that coolaboratory on my laptop~ to see hows the performance compared to my IC diamond 24 carat
*
Sorry for stacking the mobo on ur ipad lol....

IMHO is the GPU side more sensitive, that's y it have problem booting up. If apply too less cant see the effect... Very hard la doh.gif doh.gif

That's the last piece of my coollaboratory thermal compound, wasted 75% of this laptop aduhhhh doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

But if u ask me, i would say performance wise coollaboratory took better advantage than the IC diamond. I tried both on desktop already...

Wait for horn come back 1st, ask him to help me install my 3rd antenna. we do lan party lar... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

this one, or this one, to me, are desktop replacements (17"). 18" can be considered as a desktop replacement, too. yes, they are rare, and heavy.

the thing is, how people define desktop replacement is subjective.

i carry my m17x r4 around. (yeah.. looks stupid but i do that)

IMHO, 15" still a sweet spot for laptop. too bad AW dun have new 15" model sad.gif

specifically for gaming, where cooling is important, 17" is the sweet spot, not 15" imo. if you care about portability, then 15" is much better. i carry my g55 from country to country instead of my aw lol!

Yea, g55 is easy to bring it around. After repaste, no more overheat problem. So i can live with that biggrin.gif
Too bad the GC is kinda dated, and cant change it like AW doh.gif

broadcom is .ac. killer is not. (and from the drivers page, i thought it's atheros; it's the same driver pack as our g55 stock card, which is atheros hybrid card)
there are drivers for w8.1 in the g55 driver page at asus.com.

The killer wifi my my laptop is pretty impressive. Even i connect from far hotspot i still get a very stable ping. thumbup.gif

IMHO 8.1 OS still not mature yet, stick to win7 better thumbup.gif

BTW, still not yet add another wifi antenna on my laptop yet sweat.gif sweat.gif doh.gif

yeah from what i have learned for personal computing, clean install doesn't give me stupid issues that i have no clue what they are all about, then spent many hours to trouble shoot. it just doesn't worth it.

normally vendors like to create a beautiful world for us consumers (most of us are made by them to be consumers that know nothing except mouse clicking, well now the improved version, screen tapping). the funny part is, we still fell for them. every time.

yeah, totally agree. Everything is better when u go for clean installation.

Normally when a new things comes in, I rather not chose to jumps into conclusion at the 1st place. Sometimes their so call "marketing gimmiks" r totally lame. Good on visual, very minimal or zero functionality. shakehead.gif

Hey guys, just got my G53Jw back from my bro since he decided to switch to something more portable.

The keyboard backlit wasn't working so i reinstalled the ATK package from asus website. Still wasn't working so I decided to do a fresh install of windows since it needed a reformat (too much useless software he install)

I've finished the installation + all drivers from asus website.

Backlit still not working for the keyboard, just the keyboard. The lights for the 3 buttons and the indicator lights still working.

Any ideas? driver issue or is the backlit just dead?


Okay nevermind, turns out last time warranty to replace keyboard, they replace the backlit keyboard with a wonderful non-backlit one... zzz wonderful asus. last time it was replacing my bluray drive with a regular dvd drive and the technician insisted that he replaced it with a bluray drive... wonderful.... zzz.... zzz... wonderful....

hais

You should be syukur~~~ becoz asus dint give back your laptop like this

lol that one i got them to take it back on the day itself. you could just open the drive and see the lack of the 2nd blue laser anyways.

The service asus provides... world class. Can't say anything else...

Anyways since can't do anything else I guess I'll just head off... thanks for your help

Ask them fix 1 part break another part. World class service eh? thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

You can trust both holloway and horns, they know everything about Asus G-series from software till hardware better than any of the Asus technician in malaysia. nod.gif

the plastidip paint is like the rubberized coating on g55.

i sprayed it on my orochi mouse (because the top cover can be taken off easily to replace battery). it feels nice but the color is a bit off. i did it at night time, and i didn't shake the can too well too (lazy). so it's best to do it during day time under sunlight; do 3 to 4 layers.

there is a lot of plastidip black spray at ace hardware midvalley. it's at the right of the shop (paint section). it also sells the dip version (the one you can just dip whatever you want into it and have whatever coated)

Ur Orichi is Chrome version or the 2013 version? Mine is Chrome version but the chrome paint starts to peel off from edge... I paying premium price for shitty quality doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif
