i did disasemble the laptop... and also did a compressed air blow out..
all the dust blasted to the HDD bay area...  so i assume the air intake is from there... since there are no other air vents already apart from the hdd bay ... 

http://rog.asus.com/rog_language/global/pr...vx/G-sea_07.jpg

you know why there isnt effect on temperatures when used with a cooling pad... because most cooling pad sucks... use low voltage USB power... how can the fan to have high rpm ...  of coz no results la ... 

im looking for high power high performance cooling pad... those normal cooling pad ... can throw into rubbish bin d ..
*
Well i never bothered to use compressed air, i usually just rip apart my g55 and clean the air vent and the fans and also re-paste them. The only few effect is when i point my big fan towards the laptop vent, but still it doesn't help that much down by a few C only. Such as GPU idle at 45C and with the big fan around 40- 43C doesn't help that much tho. So i wonder if those expensive and high powered high performance cooling pad will help alot. But if it suits you well it's always down to the user itself. I'm quite satisfied with my temp atm.

p/s: i'm more concerned on the thermal paste rather than the cooling pad or if there's actually replacement for the internal fan i'd go for those instead. Those help alot.

+1  true..

but i cant be bothered tearing it apart. 

just compressed air to shoot out the dust ... simple job.

if my laptop is in a air cond room.. i have no concern about it ...

but without air cond and under malaysian hot weather.  and my desk has the sun shining in all the time... im concern with the temperatures...
*
I do it in my free time biggrin.gif. If not just leave it abit dusty sometimes, still is Good

My laptop also no aircond room boss, my area rempit at 3AM still can hear~ Below me is restaurant only and their airwell from their kitchen pointing towards my window imagine it's oily dust~ even ceiling fan, standing fan if wanna clean have to use soap~ to remove those oil somemore the heat from the airwell=.=" i sometimes thought this is the desert~ But the only thing that reminds me not is the delicious smell of food~ hahahaha

QUOTE(horns @ May 12 2014, 05:49 PM)
tbh, thermal paste is just to close the gap between contacts. replacing fans is a nice idea. it is possible to use much higher rpm fans, well, if g55's fan control can supply higher voltage to them. also, the form factor is quite unique in g55's fans, don't you think?
sorry no news yet. asus malaysia is kind of slow to publish the latest product guides for us.
to me a better way to restore a working system is to create a system image after resizing your OS partition. (i.e. shrinking it to become smaller than the size of your ssd) this way you can keep all your OS (especially if you have upgraded it from w8 to 8.1.1), settings and apps in the OS drive. use the following command to create it:

wbAdmin start backup -backupTarget:<target.backup.drive.letter>: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet

change <target.backup.drive.letter> to the location where you wanna store your system image (e.g. external hdd). it's better to store at the top level, i.e. x:\, assuming your external drive has a drive letter of x)

then all you have to do is just boot the machine with windows installation media (like windows installation dvd/usb), choose repair computer, go to advanced, and finally restore from system image.  i do this for quite some time for my laptops. it works for me every time.

close the gap + rate of heat transfer between the the gpu to the heatsink. Depends on which model laptop some might not need as u mentioned about aw, maybe because their heatsink and the gpu heat sink is close enough so there almost no gap in between. But the law of thermodynamics is usually hot air to cold air. So if there is something in between to help the transfer i would take that chance! haha. So imho a decent thermal paste should do the job smile.gif rather than some crappy ones. I think trouble with crappy ones is they expired too fast and thus become like solid~ although some thermal paste are made to be like solid once it's fixed in.

Hello All,

Some questions to G750 (especially JZ series).
1. I believe it comes with 16GB Ram?
2. Those 16 GB is 2 piece 8GB RAM installed ontop the inaccessible area near the keyboard? Or near the maintenance hatch?
3. It is using the new DDR3L low power RAM?
4. Comes with Killer 1202 WiFi card?
5. Price and where to buy?

Thanks All =D
*
1. I think i've seen some ads(not malaysia) yes it comes with 16gb ram
2. Not sure, let's hope it's in inaccessible slot so it leaves those 2 more ram slots at maintenance hatch open for upgrades (from G55 last time they put 1 stick inside the inaccessible slot leaving the ones at maintenance hatch open for upgrade)
3. yep DDR3L RAM, usually this is accompanied by Haswell proc~
4. Saw that too, i'm not too sure myself.
5. Let's wait for the FB shop, but for the price i saw AUD 3999 but things there are abit more pricier than here~ (so i heard)

still nice bundle... hmm : )  flex.gif

same like how you claim that AW service is not that good while others have really good exp with them rclxms.gif

Probably asus will have alot more complaints compared to AW due to the wide range of laptops they bring in and see the ratio of people using ASUS vs AW. But still it's under Dell warranty and Dell also have a wide range of laptops as well smile.gif

Well it's good to know that their after sales is always improving. icon_rolleyes.gif

Hey guys, G750JS got mSATA slot?

Searched around but couldnt find the answer. sad.gif

if they use the same mobo as g750jz that comes with 880m. i think there will be even 2 slots of msata. Not sure tho. I also cannot confirm on that one. Will look around for u.

since when g750jz gt 2 msata????

since i saw
g750jz msata

I simply google but i don't really know which variant comes to malaysia. Thanks for clarifying smile.gif

Btw i believe they will use same mobo but the variant would be either the msata, ssd, or cpu. and also the dvd/bluray. CPU would be the same or can be customized (but don't know if they soldered it) and also gpu but gpu depends on which model such as g750jm, js, jz, jh, or jx. also it will have different variant for different countries as well so it will come differently on the hdd packed as well. Although i'm not sure about the mobo for jz and jh/jh/jx and also js would be the same or differently. I've never have hands on one. Just read reviews only. Went to shop also so hard to see. =.="

if i m not mistaken, they used a sata to dual msata convertor which u can buy it in ebay anyway
the mobo itself is only 2 sata

wah seriously? why did they drop so low. play cheap tricks then. So if one opt the option of raid 0 msata. left 1 slot for HDD/SSD. It's either raid with msata or full fledged SSDs. I'd opt for the later.

thanks for the info. Didn't know they will do this lol

Yes, Exactly!
The link u show to me the highest spec is 2 256msata + 1tb hdd. There is no 2 256gb msata + 2 1tb hdd
*
I thought because they have the love for 1tb hdd. So simply put 1tb then to make it fast raid msata lol. Tau2 they use splitter only 😑 no wonder storm rip apart the laptop also see 2 slot sata3 only lol!!

er..

ASUS's msata is a card that which connected to their mainboard, unlike MSI uses a Raid adapter.
*
im confused. whyteaz say there is no msata on the mobo for g750jz. it only have 2 sata3 port and instead they use sata to msata converter to make that 256gb msata raid 0 thats why it there is option for 256 gb raid 0 + 1tb hdd but no 2xmsata + 2xsata3. Since i never had the chance to dissect one myself need input from others. I thought u say u only saw 2xsata3 port and no msata on the g750jz aswell? from your previous post

what i meant is, those spec which having msata on the rig is not using the strategy like msi use by using a bridge. ASUS changed the whole SATA slot to a dual msata slot board. I didnt said G750JZ has the msata. don't make yourself confuse la biggrin.gif
*
ah now i get it! lmao. So the ones they bring in malaysia is 2 x sata3 port not the one that they change the sata to msata port =.=" lol. coz i thought u meant like other highend laptops that has usually atleast 2 sata slots and either 1 or 2 dedicated msata slot.. Thanks for the clarification.

Now why asus so stingy =.=" Just give laa.. 2 x sata3 port and 2 x msata port! .. no need to fill in all also can. we self buy =.=" give choice wan msata raid or sata raid. i choose sata raid for sure =.=" Full fledge SSD is always better than msata SSD.

Yes, is spacious, but g750jz rubber feet is exceptionally erected. During the process of putting it in and pulling out is causing some friction that I need to apply force to fulling fit it in or take it out.
Upon googling, many g750 user lost their rubber feet due to friction as well.

Oh. Lol. So they do it for airflow but turns out making ROG user lost their rubber feet. really pro and cons. although the i do agree with the biggest design flaw is the accessibility to the fans and inner customizability of the laptop itself.

yeah couldn't agree more on that one, was having tough time trying to figure out how the heck i wanna clean off dusty fan on my old G55VW.

Haha, just tear the laptop~ biggrin.gif we have alot of guides on the first page of this thread. Although another option is of course compressed air i still prefer tearing it down smile.gif. Then can also repaste thermal paste

I'm strongly considering getting the ASUS G750JZ from XOTICPC.
http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g750jzds71-p-6...change_view=rbm

Customizations I'm going for are:
-17.3" FHD 16:9 "Glare Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright LED Glossy Screen w/ 90% NTSC Color Gamut (1920x1080)

-XOTIC PC Professional Monitor Color Calibration

-IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU

-COPPER COOLING UPGRADE - Extra Cooling Copper Heatsinks Applied to the Heatsink/Heatpipes

-YES - Redline Boostâ„¢ Overclock My System

And of course the UK AC Adapter power cord. I'm not sure if I should pay the extra cost for SSD Caching though.

Any thoughts overall?
*
On setback is the warranty. The rest is superb. If u dont mind the warranty id say go ahead but if u do, our lowyat garage has alot of local unit but without the customization that ure opting for. icon_rolleyes.gif

however, why the heck do they still put the big ass asus logo on top of rog one on the lid cover? that really spoils everything :/ rog is already an established brand. they should have just put rog logo without asus, because that looks much better.

To make a statement i guess? THIS IS AN ASUS PRODUCT!! Lol probably they were thinking something like that

That's counter-effective, because its time for this rog brand to stand out. (And you shouldnt supress the brand you wanna grow with another one, unless you are still not confident of what you have achieved so far with that new brand)

Pc gaming is rising. Now its a good timing to enforce gaming series / brands with better differentiators, including brand highlights (Gamers always wanna be different. So its better not to mix the gaming brands with all sorts of dull and less-appealing stuff)

True couldnt agree more. But i am not surprised. Lol. Like you said they prefer doing things backwards. Dont know heading where now.

Reconsidering points from this review...hmm.gif hmm.gif

wow!. I really like the review. Makes me want those g750jz more! haha. Did he say independent fans? each for cpu and gpu. PLus the price are getting more affordable since gaming notebooks are becoming somewhat common compared to before. While less and less people are making custom rigs.
