had a sweet deal?

for the wifi card, you can swap it with a better one (a bit pricey) or just get a usb wifi adapter.

you can try ask the service center first for the wifi upgrade.

use ssd to unleash the true power of a g750jx

first, please do all these after you have created a recovery usb with backtracker.

what's the exact error message? you can use bluescreenview to try check it out. do you have any antivirus running in the background?

also, can you run hwinfo64 in sensors-only mode and then play games for 10 minutes, then check the temperatures (cpu/gpu)?

for any electronics, please test thoroughly before the 1-to-1 exchange period expired.

did you open the sensors page?

no, he did the right thing by going straight to the retail shop, not service center. whenever you get electronics, it's best to make sure the retailer is willing to do 1-to-1 exchange and be well aware of the expiry of that offer, before you pay.

once you go to the service center, it could be another story.

haha! yeah i think it's the technician in that shop.

haha!

just find the balance point of what you really want. portability is important, but compact and sleek design might mean bad cooling, noisier fans, and performance sacrifice.

i just meant finding the balance point, literally

msi gs70 and g750 are about the same (gs70 is of lower specs imo). to me i will get g750 lol!

dual-channel means 798x2, 1600Mhz.

a good call for switching to desktop however if you can, invest more on mobo and cpu.

although i like these asus gaming mobos, they are pricey. from benchmarks found online (printer-friendly; original post), asrock oc formula seemed performing better, and it's much cheaper too.

don't say poison lol! whatever it is, just build according to your budget. desktops are far more flexible than laptops anyway.

show us your build when it's completed maybe i kna poison from you instead.

Wo 3 years? Your place must be very clean :/ I replaced the thermal paste after 1 year (the gpu temperature shot up to over 85c; the fans/vents are covered with a thin layer of dust)

My preferences are ic diamond (current), as5, and tuniq tx4 for cpu. For gpu, prolimatech pk3.

The process for g55 is simple but tedious, due to the number of screws. Just watch the teardown at youtube and you should be good to go.

oh ok it's best to read a bit about the application of ic diamond. I think there is a 2-hour cure time.

yeah I have no idea on why asus is particularly generous about screws hehe..

it's not about the ssd only (well, intel 520 should be faster). the bios is different between desktop and laptop. even between laptops there are differences. for instance, asus laptops are fast to boot, because it has a much simpler bios (i compared my m17x r4 and g55. g55 has a slower plextor m5m msata, but it still boots faster than aw which has samsung 840 pro)

right rog bios is very conservative and strict (but it's for your own good). they check a lot of things (sometimes it's like thinking too much when you need to do a simple thing)

lol! i guess i am wrong

to be frank there are many variables come into play and affect the performance of your ssd. the benchmarks above are just benchmarks. the actual performance of a particular ssd on your system still varies.

edit:

.. and samsung 840 pro is the best all-around sdd imo; but the fastest title might be taken by ocz vector.

it's a laptop. with compact compartment, it's supposed to not ideal for overclocking. i think.

i know i know

the truth is, if you have a ssd and you compare it with the others that are in the same range (i.e. consumer vs consumer, enthusiast vs enthusiast), you cannot feel the difference. BUT, if you compared consumer grade vs enthusiast ssd, you will feel it. for common usage, consumer grade ssd is good enough.

edit:

.. and i like samsung and plextor now. they are really good.

Nice looking.. I jelly dy ://

imo it's better to have a local unit (it's more cost effective when talking about warranty). 2999AUD is not cheap. expensive investments should have proper insurance to make it worth while.

however with that price tag, we can have more options than a custom gpu and soldered cpu that cannot be upgraded easily :/
