Thanks to horns for this Guide

1. Checking CPU/GPU temperature is essential, but it’s better to test it on games (have fun) instead of doing synthetic test (gpu/cpu benchmark). Take your own sweet time (within the 7 days grace period) and if something went amiss get one-to-one exchange from where you bought it.

2. Check all the common hardware parts that is being used normally (i.e. screens for dead pixel, speakers, keyboard keys, touch pad, rog button, card reads, keyboard backlit, fn keys, usb ports, hdmi/vga/mini display port, wifi and lan, headphone jack, dvd/blu-ray rom etc.) Do check the system info/hwinfo to see whether the specs are exactly as what you are paying for. Other than that run ram test (memtest86+); run it overnight and check results when you wake up in the morning

3. Bios, if there’s nothing wrong with it leave it running stock (there’s no need for an upgrade)

4. Update drivers as updates are usually meant for good things (most of the times) especially Graphic driver as it will support latest games.

5. Getting SSD? Perform clean install is recommended as it has lower chances of heading towards sleepless nights trying to fix. For win8 run disk optimization to trim drives, perform restart, turn of display and leave it til morning this is for system-wide SSD optimization (only after clean

If anyone wants to add or saw any misleading guide do let me know together we will fix it towards perfection and beyond!

if the warranty is still valid, you should ask asus service center to help you out.

maybe AceCombat knows someone who has such skills.

nice thread

This post has been edited by accessories_used: Oct 25 2014, 01:45 AM

i did pm him ady

er i think AceCombat is a she. she likes pink.

Bcos I fixed a G53SX previously

finally hahaha!

nice! another laptop worth saving needs your help!

sorry just check ur info , nice and kind lady

hey guys,,

was just wondering what are your gaming laptop temperatures are ? idle and heavy load..

lol, i made it to the top spammer list~!
Btw, y there is not owner list for G750jz?

a nice tip

coz previous thread nobody request for name to be added?
G751 Intro video updated on first post!

thanks a lot for the efforts

for me, I'm running Batman: Arkham Knight with graphics max out, about 1 hours ++ with 90Hz screen refresh rate.
The temperature for GPU is 81*C+-. Normal movies and browsing with 49*C +- .

there still work in progress such as G55 will be taken down and G751 & G551JM will replace 2nd post.

ROG G20 retails in US for following Price:
Base Spec 8GB memory/1TB HDD/Win 8.1 with Keyboard and Mouse bundle

i3-4150 with GT745 w/4GB $859.99 USD
i5-4460 with GTX750 w/2GB $1099.98 USD
i7-4790 with GTX760 w/2GB $1429.99 USD

according to NCIX US

Not Cheap, the i5 price around the an average gaming laptop like G551.

Better get an notebook then, Or a custom gaming PC.

Just realised that I am the 8th top spammer in the previous thread Been a silent reader since the G74 (3 years ago) series are history now
Gratz on V10 yo! Next aim should be the glorious G751 hehe

lel, long time no spam in this thread, long live Asus G- series!

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/FANGBOO...aming_Notebook/
The Spec is darn good for that price! Dang!

Was in Pyramid earlier today and randomly asked a shop (forgot the name) if he is bringing in G751. Say not yet but can do deposits (preorders)

Told me that the model with the GTX9 series will cost RM7999 and the GTX8 series will cost about 5999.

GTX 970M GPU is not cheap. Even for GTX 980M it will cost a bomb.

haha
ya i agree
thats why i just get normal laptop le
haiz
give up on gtx 9xx series sad

wanna ask about the 6th post , after repaste thermal paste , whats the temperature like when in gaming ? (cpu gpu)

normally should be around 50-60'c like that on average, with regular thermal paste. Better thermal paste will provide lower temp.

Temperature on CPU or GPU will depends on the game has CPU or GPU or Both dependency will cook up the temp but it won't be high as before repaste unless u only did the repaste and ignoreing the vent holes are still stucked by Dust.

as long as the temperatures for both are not more than 85c under load, they should be fine.

Or Loud fan spinning is usually indicating overheating issue.

Digital Mall shop mentioned Asus is having shortage of G551JM for now. Next stock expected to arrive in one week time.

Normal usage i get 48-50*C for GPU and 51*c~ for CPU. It should be fine because i dint hear any fan noise.

note: i'm not in a air conditioned room. just ceiling fan.

G751...AHHhh i had given up long time ago. RM7K above i'll better buy a car. Perdua axia with 9 years installment.. lol

G551, an great gift for my girl friend. she had G750 for now but its too heavy. since GX500 is not available forever in Malaysia.


[attachmentid=4194309]

both 1.6 second boot. Anyone?

This post has been edited by jasonsuna1: Oct 31 2014, 10:31 AM

bundle gift? I heard from sales person, only Backpack.

Nope, i mean i'm planing to get G551 for my GF. We both have G750 now. its too heavy for her.

For G551, Its hard to look for Stock now. Selling fast.

50-60C on average in gaming seriously ??

While normal Facebook + YouTube I am getting 71C max (average 66C) for CPU . 45-52C for GPU .

While gaming I am getting 82C Max for CPU , 81C for GPU (far cry 3) .
For crysis it bumps up little bit . CPU 85-86C (Max) , GPU 83C (Max)

So I am thinking is there any need of repasting .

If ur GPU starting to hit 99'c on GPU AND Fans Blowing loud when gaming, that's the cue to do repaste and dusting the vents.

hmm 99C is quite a distance then for furmark 15min i am running max at 88C only so i think i m good currently

btw i have done tear it apart and clean dust i can find (the fans as well) , just didnt do repaste .

i went there last weekend. same answer lol!

wow. that's fast. i never had a chance to get that fast (due to ssd optimizations and all). under-25sec boot is still fine with me lol!

yeah the gpu temperature is good.

nice now you can maintain the laptop properly.

u also shop there? Next time can pick up together.

Haha! I was getting ss.kinzu v3. My roccat pyra's have an issue: getting sticky because of glue melting (both sides) problem.

Some G751 porn here (Extra read).

hihi, i am newbie and i consider to join rog family with g551jm! may i know the g551jm is worth to buy or not? i mean its quality, i scare it cant last longer... any sifu can give me some idea... how the built quality of rog laptop (for lower spec like g551)? anyone can share their experience about cs of asus also since there is a lot of rumour about it after sales service.....

After sale services are fine, Just Slow. They need to order parts (BRAND NEW) from OEM Taiwan which takes lots effort to reach Malaysia. What is the benefits? Brand new whole thing, for example Motherboard, before warranty ends if your motherboard burn, you should be considered lucky. You get New Series version!

For my case, i have a 1 year old N series but the motherboard spoiled, I get an new Graphic card after return from RMA.
i7 4500U Processor become i7 4700HQ and
GT745m become GT755m and i dont know why


BUT what if you're lucky or considered not. Your G551 might last till the world ends.... if you not break it yourself.

This post has been edited by jasonsuna1: Nov 3 2014, 09:15 PM

Why bother right? waited 3 weeks and get brand new whole things. lol...
ROG build are just right, based on your luck too. nothing can be say. its perfect for me so far

sound good! can i know how come the motherboard will burn？ i am quite curious about it.....

and anyone know the g551(gtx-860m-2GB DDR5)malaysia version is using a maxwell or kepler GPU chip?

don't know but might cause by the ants, or dust overheat, or pouring water into it. otherwise it wont burn. Just keep it clean and cool.

pour water on it still under warranty?!

hey, my asus gpu tweak always crash during start up for my g750jz.
does anyone have any idea??

what did you do?

mind to check event viewer log?

Good News
Digital Mall has a demo unit of G551JM available at ground floor.

First hand-on impression:
-Nice Sleek looking laptop with black and red scheming.
-Laptop palm rest is aluminium so its cool.
Didn't check the bottom.
However, the material for the cover, and the keyboard layout along with palm rest is brushed aluminium so it will tend to have a common issue, which is fingerprint magnet.
Screen is matte screen in FHD, but i forgot the check the viewing angle if its IPS as the shop didn't install those software to check System Info, and manufacturer stuffs.

how much it is?

Asus RRP RM3499 but the shop showing the demo model was putting RM3599.

wow! i last time saw a unit with the price at rm3399 in melaka area! or because shortage of it so the price increase?!

Where is good place to buy ASUS notebook??

first of all... try clearing dust from air vents ... helps alot...

previously at idle... with high performance mode.... 55C

after blowing off dust from air vents at idle ... 43C.

hi there, anyone knows what backpack or bag will be included with G551JM? I'm going to buy 1 but i scared got cheated...majority computer shops in ipoh is a cheater...they steal things that you didn't realise & change it with worthless shit...

Not sure, what's the design is like until somebody pick up a unit.

for gtx860M 2GB DDR5,i haven't buy yet but i know g551 is come with backpack(logo ROG one), adapter, user manual and etc, but one thing that confirmed is malaysia version g551 is without ROG mouse.(this i ask is for the price rm3399, got a better spec i didn't ask yet)

thanks..at least i wont be cheated when i'm buying it...

Guys, G751JT RM5150 anyone interested? i just got this from one of the seller from Lowyat. how do you think?

although out of my budget but i still lo

wow. this is a damn great deal. what is the spec of this unit?

edit: maybe a lot of you are not aware of this. for m.2 slot, there are many configurations. some are sata-only, some pci-e. in terms of pci-e, there are pci-e 2.0 and pci-e 3.0, with different lanes.

asus g-series, namely g751 and g771, have a pci-e 3.0 x4. this is the highest spec of all for m.2 slots so far. it's a damn good feature to get, because when nvme ssd is out, this pci-e spec is the only one that can run it at full speed.

some examples of m.2 slot configurations that i have found out:
1. msi gt72 - sata only; up to 4x sata ssd in raid0. cannot use pci-e nvme ssd.
2. clevo variants - their factory option include 1x pci-e 2.0 x4. (it's pci-e 2.0, not 3.0)
3. aw17/18 - still waiting for their refresh. the current models only have 1x msata slot.

what condition of your g751? what specification? mind to share?

good! did you know g551jm free bundling with what item?

Guys, where can i find my windows 8 product key? there is no sticker of windows 8 key bottom of my laptop only some random laptop model sticker..i changed my hdd to sshd and plan to install back my windows 8 into the new hdd..

in the discussion of g-series v9, in 12x pages they say the product key is in the bios, can refer back.

yeah for w8 and up you will not have stickers. however you can use rweverything or belarc advisor to extract the product key. find out more with google.

Seriously i haven't purchased G751 yet , i still stuck at G750.

You should use asus backtracker software to backup your oem windows right after you purchased the notebook.

sell it as second hand then buy a new one la! what price come see i afford or not!

This post has been edited by evum seu: Nov 13 2014, 05:15 PM

I dont know man, give me a price lah.. lol pmpm
still got one year warranty by asus malaysia, bundle with asus stock mouse, and CPU fan, Woofer, Extra housing, speaker (All G750 original parts give you for spare in the future)

this is the supposed right way (using backtracker). however after observing many failed restores in ROG forum (due to various reasons, usually user issues), i think it's better to just grab a copy of windows oem installer that matches the current OS for backup purposes.

in the ideal world, there is no need to extract product key, because if the correct windows is installed it will be activated automatically. however from my experience that will not likely to happen (online activations failed on me several times). with the keys, i called Microsoft and manually activated my copies by phone.

Or spend another RM65 at lelong for retail key. (windows 8.1 pro)

hi, G551JM newbie here

lol! are these keys for real?

welcome. you must be the first one who own this. if you don't mind please share with us some insights about this laptop

Yup, they are real. i brought one and verified with Microsoft. But only the key, not include DVD or any hard copy.

sweet i will get a few more later. (swap all the 8.1 sl to w8.1 pro)

Yup, search at lelong. but careful, some of the seller get the key from china which only cost RM10 but sold RM50 respectively. It does activate the windows but i don't know why, seriously. Kaspersky chinese version cost RM5 per year.

wonder why they always get something such cheap yet working!

Support OEM if affordable, Pay RM300 ~ 400 to buy an original hard copy.

G751 with 970m so tempting... one question though, the top still the usual matte rubber?
