Anyone reapplied thermal paste on their G551 so far? Looking forward to bring down the temperature and cooling pad shouldn't work as there's no bottom vents.

Haswell CPU is quite a hot CPU IMHO.

Try disabling the CPU Turbo boost.
It will help a lot on the temperature.

Go to your Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Scroll and go to Processor Power Management -> Change the Maximum processor state from 100 to 99.

Your CPU will limit itself to 2.5Ghz max.
This usually won't affect the gaming performance by much. Probably 1-5% only.

Erm i keep using win 8.1 and never change it. And today i manage to test my system with one more game NFS:Most Wanted 2012 at the same setting as i tested before, i get the same result =.=""" i think i get different result for dota2 is due to the increase of system demand of dota2(since dota2 keep get update) any user of g551jm found your beast are getting hotter compare to before?mind to share me your experience?

hi Asus user , so far asus after sales service good or not ? because im aiming rog g751 as well , hope to hear all shifu feed back soon

need opinion from you guys ...
shopping for a used set ... and saw some in mudah .. i do not want to post links, but you can search in mudah with keywords Asus ROG G751JY ... between 2800 and 3300 only ...

sounds kinda fishy, cause even a used g551 already cost MYR 3000 ....

what you guys think ??
