G73JH Q&A Q: What is the average % of units defective or returned for RMA? A: (Asus Rep) Out of the sold G73 units we have only received about 2-3% for RMA in the US and Canada regions. Q: Is it worth it to pay $35 for the TIM upgrade to my cpu/gpu? A: In my opinion not so much. Its not needed the stock thermal material used these days is about equal to AS5, the system is designed to work flawless without needing a better compound. However if you have the money to spare and it makes you feel better then perhaps its a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. Q: Will upgrading the RAM to 12 or 16GB increase the performance? A: Not at all, more ram does not equal more performance. The machine in normal operation will never get even close to using the stock 8GB of ram, only in very specific work environments would so much RAM be used and come in handy and if you needed it you wouldnt be asking this question you would already know you need it. Q: If I upgrade my CPU does it void my warranty? A: Yes there is a seal sticker on the cpu heatsink and if you break it it will void your warranty. This is the same reason you cant self install a better TIM and have to pay $35 for a dealer to do it for you. Note that you can upgrade your hard drives, install TIM on the video card, upgrade RAM, and many other things without voiding the warranty Q: Does the G73 support the Intel 5300 Wifi Card? A: The 5300 uses 3 antennas but can actually work just fine with only 2, so its supported for sure, however its not known yet if the G73 comes with all 3 needed for the 5300 pre-installed. You will not get any performance boost from the 5300 vs 5100 unless your router/network has the proper equipment to take advantage of it in the first place so its a moot upgrade unless you have good reason. Q: Im messing up my typing because my fingers press the touchpad while typing! Any way to fix this? A: Yes I have a good way to fix this, the normal way would be to use an external mouse and disable the touchpad but thats not a good fix. Instead go download this free program called touchfreeze it will prevent your cursor from clicking anywhere else on the screen while your typing so you do not move your type cursor or click a button/ad and mess up your typing. Q: How come I see more hard drives in windows that I have installed in my machine? A: You will see two hard disks in your My Computer section for each physical hard disk installed because Asus likes to partition each drive into two pieces. This is a really great think if you just have 1 drive but you may wish to change the size of each partition or if you have two hard drives in your configuration make it so that each disk only has 1 partition. I found a nice free program that can do it for you that works with Win 7 x64 its called partition wizard - http://www.partitionwizard.com/

Re: Offical Asus G73JH Owners Lounge
OK I better do it too - 4th to post

Exciting times, finally the waiting is nearly over! Who would've thought shipping would start today after all the speculation about delivery delays earlier this week and last week.
Bring it on!
Edit: OK constructive
Hmmm, I am betting that this Asus gaming notebook will be the start / catalyst of a brand new generation of gaming machines. Hopefully other brands will follow suit.
Asus seems to be listening to their gamers with this machine. Power and more power!Last edited by heavenly_wild; 4th February 2010 at 08:52 PM.

Re: Offical Asus G73JH Owners Lounge
I am going to have to get special seat belts for when we first power this up. They put a lot of effort into this one to adress specific issues to make it what it is. Who is suppose to get the first one?
I am also anxious to see what happens to the market and product lines once people start reviewing it here.

Stock up on your tools before your laptop arrives. Rivatuner to adjust fanspeed and possibly clock speeds via Joker's Rivatuner guide.
Everest to monitor your temps (Hwmonitor will not work on Ati cards)
Latest CCC (may or may not work to overclock the m5870).
3dmark06/Vantage.
Fraps to measure in game frames per second.Originally Posted by Stealth bomber W :
Your retarded arnt you jerk? Why don't you just take some of that moldy money you took from a senior citizen or some other poor person and take you frigin car to the shop.
