the new asus g51

Put it with the rest of the setup files.

 

He's having a hard time downloading it I think, not installing it.

 

Hello. I´ve my new g51, that the g71 is discontinued in all bestbuy stores. Last year, i was buyed a dell xps m1530 and have better processor than this... I´m dissatisfaction about this.
You think that this processor is ok for game? I play to simulators like grid,race07, etc....
Unfurtunatly, i cannot wait to september that comes another time the g71.
You think is "best buy" this laptop for 1050 plus tax?

Regards to forum and sorry for my bad english.

Another thing: Is necessary change the bios like g71?

Regards.

 

The P7350 is very overclockable, and at stock can play most games without a hitch. Since most games are bottlenecked by the GPU, not the CPU, you should be fine.

Very good buy. It'd be even better if it was the initial $999, but it's not going any lower, unfortunately.

No need to change the BIOS.

 

Regards for your fast reply. Did you know if have the same motherboard than g71x?

 

I think the G51 has a different motherboard than the G71.

 

Nah man, I was just playing. I'm kind of attached to mine; it's taken me close to five months to get a working laptop.

What do you mean by the new G51VX?[/QUOTE]

I mean the G51VX A1

 

I need some help. Do you guys think the g50 outer case with the painting on it like our g51s will fit the g51? I was thinking of putting the all black outer case on mine. It looks identical to the g51 minus the paint job. Do you think the different display resolution would change the internal layout of the lcd case?

 

Hey guys, I've my new g51vx from mwave.com and I didn't get eee stick. I'm kinda confused. I just get a backpack and mouse. Have u guys get eee stick?

 

^ well techinically on mwave.com it doesnt mention...but nonetheless it should come with it. A1 all come with those accesories. maybe they decided to keep it for themselves since they arent obliged to give it. You bought what it says on the specs list...lol but again idk maybe you can call em?

 

Hello.
Anybody know where I can buy a faster processor than 7350, online or in not-online shop in Los Angeles? Regards

 

Any of the P9xxx, T9xxx, and the X9100 are faster than the P7350. You can stop by RJTech in Diamond Bar if you want to buy a new CPU.

 

Can't wait until 2 yr warranty is over, then I'm going to put in a quad..

 

Oh yeah, just another note...

This laptop has a hard time fitting in 15.6 inch laptop bags, so a 16 inch is better. Do any of you actually carry this thing around?

 

I carry it to college everyday... Its good, I was like this guy before, now im like this after all that exercise i made everyday lifting all this weight... I recommend...

 

The RX05 doesn't support quads.



On another note, 8mm-tall copper heatsinks don't fit in this guy. Hopefully the 4mm ones will work just fine.

 

I carry it to, almost everyday in college. I use an old MacBook 15" slip case (its all stretched up because I used to fit a 17" HP laptop there) and a regular backpack. And yes, its kind of heavy but acceptable.

 

I've studied martial arts for over a decade and I never seen results as good as that, man. I better get myself an Asus, haha.

 

Just lug around your Sager. You've added a bunch of weight as it is.


Speaking of added weight, does the copper block have to be completely on the heatsink, or can it hang off a bit? While the 4mm-tall ones are obviously shorter, they are longer (18mm vs 14mm), and might hang off a little bit depending on where I want to put them. I really don't have a lot of space to put those blocks.

 

Then, Forge, which processor you recommended to buy for put in this laptop?
The most faster that we can put is the core 2 xtreme like yours?
Regards.

 

Yes, the blocks can hang off a little bit. Some of my 8mm blocks have only half of the mounting surface touching the main heatsink. Sekisui #5760 and my secret ingredient makes an incredibly strong bond.

You should have bought the smaller 13x12x4mm Chinese blocks. 18x14x4mm is way too big unless you are willing to cut them.

Oh, I'm heading out to The Home Depot tomorrow to get some copper sheets for my northbridge and HDD heatsink mod. You can kiss your HDD temp records goodbye tomorrow night.

 

Regards. I´ll send email because I´m interesting that they change, but I don´t know if they want...

Anybody was done a guide for "how change the processor"? Is more difficult?

 

Can't seem to find those dimensions. Got a URL handy?

And you can have my records. I never wanted them. They just make everyone hate me.

 

Forge, why don't you take a belt sander to he blocks?

 

I'm kind of hardware deficient right now. I'll try to borrow one when I have the change. Damn, I'll need a vice too.

EDIT: Actually it turns out that it's not viable option. I actually dropped off a block with a friend to see if he could sand it down, but with his sander it couldn't.

 

? That's weird. I remember using one to grind down steel bars in shop class back in the day. Copper shouldn't be a problem.

I'd stop up at the local Home Depot and get belts designed for metal. I'm not to familiar with belt sanders, but if they're anything like drills they'll use different paper for wood and metal.

 

Hmm. I'll talk to another friend who's more hardware-intensive than my other one and see what he has.

 

Im running windows 7 build 7600 and everything seems to be fine the only thing im having trouble with is the programs that asus use such as fancystart, lifeframe and some others but i don't know how much of a big deal that may mean to you!

After looking at the review Zrehmz posted, I looked in CPUz to see my RAM speeds. When in the Memory tab, it says my DRAM frequency is 500MHz, and the FSB: DRAM is 2:3. I thought my FSB overclock also overclocked my RAM? Shouldn't my DRAM timings reflect that?

COome to think about it, that's the only real question I've had that hasn't been answered before I asked it. Gotta start somewhere, right?

 

Is his belt sander overclocked?

 

Well, the first person didn't have a belt sander. Just a regular sander along with eleventy-one thousand types of paper. I wonder if Home Depot could do it for a fee.

 

Eleventy one?

What number comes before that?

Home Depot might be able to do it for free, but I've don't think they have a belt sander set up anywhere. At least mine doesn't. All I've ever seen is a table saw for wood.

 

Why must you always ask such inane questions? Get a life. And friends. And pie.



EDIT: Answer is 9000

 

Why are you two making this so complicated? Just get a Dremel and a grind head and chop off all the excess height you want removed from the heatsinks. Then you can manually sand the suckers flat. You can even take it to a belt sander for finishing touches if you want it to look pretty.

 

Because it's so fun to discuss things like this.

 

I don't think he has either of those.

In which case he can cut out the "use a dremel and then belt sand them flat" and go directly to "belt sand them" and collect his 200$.

The problem is just finding someone with either of those things <_<

 

I have both, and I have high grit sandpaper for finishing the job.

I invite both of you to my humble home so I can sand your heatsinks and slap both of you over the head.

 

Wait a minute, dude. I have an even BETTER idea.

Why don't you set off a tactical nuke just close enough to you to melt off the 4mm you don't need from the heat sink without melting off your face?

That's an original fix. And given the current geopolitical climate, finding a tactical nuke might actually be easier than finding a belt sander.

 

EMP will fry my computer.

 

I tried that before. Homeland Security didn't like it very much.

 

You're obviously supposed to leave your computer at home, pal.

 

Never thought about that.

Hey, wait a minute. Nukes don't play well with people. Are you trying to tell me something?

 

No, of course not. Now go and blindly follow my logic.

 

Except there is no logic to follow.

Forge +1


I'll try to see if Home Depot can do it for me.

 

I'm not sure if The Home Depot will belt sand it for you. They usually just offer cutting services.

 

No harm in asking, I guess.

By the way, I'm scouring ebay for RAM heatsinks, and I can't find the 13x12x4 dimensions you mentioned.

 

So I'm thinking of buying the g51 - either the X1A or the X2A. The key difference between the 2 is processor speed, one being 2.53GHz and the other 2.8GHz. I need a LOT of processor speed for what I am planning to do (Wii Emulator), but the X2A is getting kind of expensive here in Canada ($1700). I had a few questions;

1)Isn't overclocking a laptop a bad thing? Everywhere I've read has said not to do it.
2) It comes with it's own official overclocker, right? Doesn't it over clock by 20%? How many GHz would that net me? Can I still do the *less* official on top of that?
3) I know doing the less official way will be random at what I could get from it... what would be a minimum and a maximum for both of the laptops?

 

And I thought I was blind. I have narrower eyes than you and I can easily find what I'm looking for. These are the same heatsinks I used on my machine along with the Thermaltake and Akasa ones. The Chinese ones I have are the 10x9x4mm variation of the RHS-03.
