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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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