Official Asus G73JH Owners Lounge

Ziddy,

I know you're busy enjoying your new girlfriend, but when you get a chance can you try a new GPU overclock to humor me?

Drop you memory overclock down by 50-100 and see if you can get your core up by another 50+...

Thanks!

Chris

 

Same here
So now just have to wait

 

try looking on http://www.direct2drive.com/ they have all the DLC for Borderlands as well. I've had good results from them in the past.

 

It might be able to be modified to work, but it's not identical. For what it's worth, the model number on the one in my X1 is 13GNY810M12X-1

 

Yeah, doesn't work for me. I tried 850/900 and within 1 minute of starting FEAR 2, it grayed screened and froze. For now 799/1099 seems the limit for me.

 

Oh! I didn't know you had gotten to 799 on the core; good job. I bet you could get to 825ish if you dropped your mem down even further. Maybe 825/1040 or something. Thanks for the info!

 

Yeah I've been playing at 799/1050 or 799/1099 all week, it's stable in Crysis, Mass Effect 2, FEAR 2 and Killing Floor so far. Haven't tried WoW as I'm too wussy to renew my account (I think I'm done with mmos).

 

Good man. Stay away, they are like digital crack. Actually, more like digital crystal meth. With both, you run the risk of losing all your teeth and self-respect.

 

Where can I find the steps to OC to this level. Sorry for the newbie question... Chef Instructor not a Computer Tech

 

Are they really that dangerous?

 

Agreed.

I was the guild leader of a pretty big raiding guild on Proudmoore about 4 yrs ago. If you think playing WoW alone is bad, consider being a guild leader in WoW.... makes it twice as bad. Dealing with politics, soothing egos, drama-> just not worth it.

I quitted WoW 2 yrs ago and I think it's one of the best decisions.

 

Good thing I hate rpg's.

I'll NEVER understand all the hype/insanity.

 

I've had limited playing with OCing. Tried it with my 7900GS and started getting artifacts on the screen and chickened out. Are you guys kinda blahsay about greyscreening, artifacts, freezing that you just keep going? How much permanent damage can be done?

I guess there's threads dealing with all this. I just want a nut shell answer

 

I'm totally new to this forum and laptops in general. I just got my X-1 today and in my Win 7 I noticed it recognizes only 4 gigs of RAM. It's 64 bit Win 7. Is this right? How can i fix it if it's wrong?

 

I work with a guy who was the guildleader of our clan, so I know all about it. Managing that many fragile ego's and personalities is more daunting than dealing with the trolls and snipers on this forum. And that's saying a lot. I played and got sucked in for about 6 months 2 years ago. 6 months of my life I will never get back.

Some friends tried to talk me into Age Of Conan and the new WoW expansions, but I told them that my new life was non-refundable and that they should look into buying one.

 

Download AMD GPU Clock Tool. It is free, and it could not be easier. You literally type over the stock clock values, and that's it. Your clocks go back to stock at every reboot.

 

I'm with you on the MMO's, but there are some single player rpg's that are fantastic. Baldur's gate brings a nostalgic tear to my eye. Elder Scrolls 3 and 4. Dragon Age. I love em', just don't have time to play em'!

 

We sacked a guy at our work for being a guild leader. He considered getting in at 11am after all night raids was an acceptable part of his job. The bosses thought otherwise.

Pool of Radiance, The first couple of Bard's Tales

 

I remember the good ole Pool of Radiance Came out in 1988?

Diablo 3 is what I am looking forward to ....and maybe some Japanese romance / anime RPG.

Talking about games, I suggest you guys try out "Fate/Stay Night" visual novel game. If you don't know what it is, google VN has some of the best games around.

haha, as for getting late to work being a guild leader... hehe, I avoided that, but just. Very sleepy during work lol

 

Are we the only two left waiting for A1s?

 

Oh, wow. I didn't know we were hopping into our "way back" machines!

My first rpg was pools of radiance and curse of the azure bonds on the Commodore 64. Then all of the goldboxes that followed on my first 386.

Ultima, Eye of the beholder. Oh my, I am getting sentimental.

 

almost looks like it lol

Maybe I should create a thread called "Lonely ASUS G73JH-A1 owner's asylum"

 

I think I am in your club too

 

^

Please don't. lol

 

Thanks !!! Is there a way to keep the OC and not have to redo it everytime...or is that a bad idea? --- to keep the sytem OC'd all the time?

 

Ha! What a sad, lonely thread that would be

 

Hey guys, new to the forum! About to buy an Asus G73JH-A2 and I was wondering if anyone has heard if XoticPC was shipping any yet? They seem to have the best deal and I have had great experiences from them in the past! Would hate to wait a month to get my hands on this one!

 

You know, this machine could be the best gaming machine since that awesome machine. I still play Defender of the crown, monty on the run and alter-ego on emulator from that thing.

 

Oh. My. God. Defender of the Crown!!!! I spent my 7th year on earth trying to beat that game on my 64. Could you link me to some good emulator info?

Thanks!

 

nope me too

 

some of my old time favourites

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
"Leisure Suit Larry"
"King's Quest"
"Police Quest"
"Space Quest" (Roger Wilco ftw!)
"Heart of China"
"Wolfenstein 3D"
"Phantasmagoria"
"Where on earth is Carmen Santiago?"

old games are the best

 

maybe we do have enough people for a separate lounge.... a room of self-pitting men/women(?any here)

 

Cool there's a few of us - I don't feel so bad.

I also got a new 1080p TV to go with the G73 (and to watch TV on) so I want the blu-ray! Sure I could put one in myself, but it's all paid for, and maybe we'll get a bonus feature that the others will miss out on.

I keep telling myself at least I'm not losing productivity playing with a new machine, but I can't look away from these damn threads, no matter how irrelevant they are, so that aint workin lol

 

I've been playing RPG's since the Commodore as well. Still attend a Pen and Paper AD&D Group that meets on the weekends. REALLY looking forward to Dragon Age

Loved the entire Ultima Series, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur's Gate. I am looking into Guild Wars... However I have never played a MMO before

 

Oh...Good old days

 

Sounds good to me. lets give it to the 17th and if and when the bad news does happen that we are waiting till mid-march we can start our own group. Doesnt make any sense that after a 6 weeks asus doesnt have any bluray drives to put in G73's to send out to at least take care of the first preorders

 

Thanks for that info we may have to wait a few before they stock it. :-/

 

They Sure Are. How about:

Wing Commander
Interstate 77
M1 Tank Platoon II
Sim City
Wolf Pack
Red Baron
FreeLancer
Elite

 

I'm in the club too.

Maybe we should start the Stalwart and Always Hopeful Defenders of the A1 Almost-Owners Lounge?

 

Just wanted to give everyone an update on the A1s that might be a bit relevant.

PC Canada has the "rest" of it's shipment on backorder expecting them on March 4th in Ontario, Canada.

However, when I called, the guy told me that 50 came in last week and went out to their rightful owners and that the 250 they are expecting are an "additional" 250. I asked to make sure they were definitely A1s and he said, "The ones with the BluRay right? Yep - that's them..." So, he obviously knows what he is talking about.

So - the moral of the story...

A1s are out there - they DO exist.

 

When I was little I loved Space Quest. Way too many ways for him to die, forget the main character's name.

 

Hmmm to order this by XoticPC or GenTechPC? which one will ship faster? any suggestions? lol

About the warranty difference between A and X models, you guys are making a too big of a deal. Your credit card is most likely to cover it for an additional year in anyways. Amex Coverage as an example

 

Really? That sucks...Well, not for the new owners...but yeah! Especially when I live in Ontario! Where is this place? I might consider illegal actions to get one of these if they don't come soon

 

Nope, I'm here lurking.....and waiting for mine as well.

 

I'm still waiting

 

Some sellers aka ken @ gentech said that they would honor the people who had already ordered it that way.

 

Would love to hear some suggestions on rigging up a caddy for the spare HD bay. I'm not sure really what's comparable or what'll work. Any modders wanna take on that one?

 

I just hope they have the supply issues worked out by May when I get back from the a$$ end of the world and place my order.
