    Hello long time lurker just recently got my g53sw-a1 all set up, after some messing around with the .ini's I got the latest nvidia drivers 285.27 installed and over clocked to 800/1600/1600 :D I was wondering if there is any bios update the live update doesn't have any and on asus site they only have the original bios. Now I am trying to fix this throttling on battery issue as of now any other things I should be aware of?

    Other than the throttling and the placement of the ethernet/power/hdmi ports I'm really happy with my purchase it was between this a m11x or a sager 5165 I think I made the right choice it blazes through everything I ran at it even the new Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad!!!! Im happy

    battery is only 75 W so it is actually nothing when you think about the computer's consumption so with battery it will be throttling
