  1. Once you buy the new drive, do you just pop the plastic cover off the stock drive and place it on the new one? I'm a stickler for making sure any upgrade matches the rest of the system.

    This is the only thing that I am unsure about... because I can see there is a small screw on the bottom part of the cd drive(original) that removes the cover, but I dont know if the one you buy would have the same screw space for the cover

  2. You could make the change, but first check it well... there may be a catch to this trade. But if it is a decent macbook pro, then make the trade, sell it and buy the asus g75vx with spare money... i think, post ALL of the specs and I'll give oyu a rough selling price

  3. i just ordered a carbon cover ... its for the car but i think i can manage to fit on my laptop with a pair of knife

    Really? I would love to see it finish and maybe buy one from you!

  4. Really what I need right now is some suggestions on a flavor of linux that seems to have the most success in the gaming world.... Ubuntu?

    Ubuntu is the most used OS in the linux distro world (distributions)... linux has just a few games... although steam has now a linux compatability and a lot of developers are creating games for linux... check The Humble Bundle Mojam 2 (pay what you want and help charity) for some awesome games for mac/windows/linux for just about 6 dls a pack of 5 games... Go ubuntu

  5. I looked at google for the drive that this person is buying but I'm really skeptic to buy without knowing for sure that it will fit and work. I'm also in the US.

    Its very easy to check, simply use a program to find the type of drive you have, then search for it online and check the specs. There should be height, weight, width and everything you need to be able to compare it to other drives and check that it fits.

    For Example:

    My drive is HL-DT-ST- DVDRAM GT51N

    after searching around I found this HL Data Storage GT51N Super Multi DVD ReWriter Laptop Notebook SATA dvdrw drive | eBay

    and what do you know... my drive is exaclty that measurements...so with this now I can be SURE it will fit

  6. Hey all, just stumbled upon this thread as I picked up a G75VW-BBK for real a bargain price off craigslist.

    Just curious what the real world performance difference would be in a game like Far Cry 3 or similar with the modded BIOS.

    I certainly do not want to lose the backlight on the keyboard...has this been definitely resolved?

    Is there any danger in applying the BIOS itself (I understand the risks of overclocking) but I am referring to ruining the machine from the flash process itself?

    Pardon the ignorance...I have been working with computers since the Atari 8-Bit days, but this modded BIOS stuff is all new to me.

    Yes, read the first post...

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have this System, but standard 2.3GHz clock. What would this increase it to?

    This mod overclocks the Graphics card, not the processor... and with intel boost you should be getting 3.3 or 3.4

    I've tried your instructions and it works. BUT it doesn't overclock my Card (GTX670M) ... What should I do?

    Thanks for Help.

    Did you even read the instructions I left at page 20 or something? it tells you to do something in specific to get it to work because currently it does not. You just have to follow some 4 other steps to overclock

  7. I downloaded all needed files and followed the Instructions. But if I Use the Backup.bat (also in Admin-Mode) it creates no file. What to do?

    I opened the file Backup.bat to solve the Problem and I saw that theres the BiosBackup.bin -bios wanted ... but I don't find the file.

    Im Using Windows 7 64-Bit.

    Look, I had this problem also... you have to

    1. Open Command Prompt as admin

    2. travel using "cd" to the location of the fptw64.exe (travel to the folder)

    3. Open backup.bat with a text editor

    4. Copy the text to your terminal with ftpw64.exe before (as in "fptw64.exe -D -BIOS newBios etc...")

    5. Enjoy your backup

    this also happens with the flash.bat, so do the same with that one, just copy what is in the flash.bat into terminal once you navigate to your fptw64 folder

  8. Know of any place not on ebay that you can buy this?

    Depends on your location, for latin america you could try mercado libre or at any distributor at your local city. Whats the country you wish to send it? maybe a simple google search with the name of the device and your country could bring something up

  9. Yeah, the best "covers" I found were merely skins for the laptop... These do bring a small amount of protection but I was looking more of a hard case or rubber corner addons..

  10. Hey there! I am currently looking for a cover for my G75VW... Its a really nice design but I dont want it to get scratched or anything. Being a computer not that sold and compatible (design-wise) as the Macbooks, I guess there aren't any premade or in mass production, but is there any custom made? or a plastic cover for the corners or anything? Any help is extremely useful (I know there are skin and custom made skins).

    P.D. I'm sorry if I ask too many questions :P but I really have a lot of questions about my asus!

  11. 1,5V is really warm ;)

    But 0,9130 would be a good starting point!

    BTW 1,1V i safe on 660m - gives u a core clock around 1300MHz :)

    Link: GT 650m GTX 660M overclocking result database

    So I don´t know what u are talking about...

    Managed to do a 3dmark run with 1300 core.. if it´s 24/7 stable only time will tell :P[ATTACH=CONFIG]6044[/ATTACH]

    Edit: The keyboard back light doesnt work with the latest modded bios!

    Have you tried using the fix in this thread and on another forum posted before?

  12. Hey guys,

    I tried searching for a linux thread about the g75vw but I didn't find anything and as I've been trying to dump the old windows and switch to Linux Ubuntu, but being a long time Windows and Mac user I had my bumps and scratches. To anyone who is having trouble installing everything I found this website with a lot of info about g75vw and linux compatability

    Asus G75VW [Linux Laptop Wiki]

    Hope it helps and lets see if anyone has any extra info bout the drivers, hotkeys and everything else

    [EDIT]

    Could a Mod or Admin move this thread to Asus Gaming Notebook Forum?

  13. Hi there, I am currently looking at both models of the G75VW... the specs for both are almost the same, but one has 3D and the other doesn't, and the 3D version has the nvidia 670m with 3GB and the 660m has 2GB. My question is, is this difference that big for 500 extra dolars? Is the 670m actually that better with 3Gb than the 660m with to 2GB?

    PD: I'm very new to this and any technical errors should be ignored!
