    Hello guys, so i've got an overheating problem. i've got a Asus G73 JH and my GPU is pretty hot. Idleing at around 75°C and at load getting to about 85°C, right now 84°C at 30% load. im certain that there is no dust in the vents, used canned air to make sure.
    Clocks are at constant 700 and 1000 MHz.

    best bet is repasting i think ?

    Check on Asus' website to see if there is an ASP near you and ask them for a quote on repasting. ASP, stands for Asus Service Provider, those guys know what they're doing more than tech at Asus' repair depot most of the time.

    allright, will do thanks :)

    Edit: turns out no ASP near me ( living in germany ), i had the idea of taking the laptop apart to clean the fans properly. Thing is, i dont want to break the keyboard by doing so, is there any way of cleaning the fans properly without having to take out the keyboard ?
