Looks like it could be interesting! Thanks for sharing! :) How many FPS do you get??? :D

That is awful! :( :( :( Glad to know that your dad was able to quit smoking, that's a great thing to hear. :) As far as the funeral, that's much more important than those of us here on the forums.

Yeah, I learned it the other way - set it to max battery, and then wonder where the performance went. :p You are welcome! :)

That looks like a good price if you ask me - provided that you account for the price of a new battery, which could be $70-$100. Get a genuine ASUS battery, it's better in the long-run.

@Gjerdin, I sure hope so! :) Welcome to the forums! :) Looking at the design, I would worry about noise/cooling, because they very well might have good cooling, but at the cost of the laptop being...

Welcome, @GamerGirl90! :) That is sad to hear about your father. :( However, fitness is always a good goal, it's better for the health, and everything else.

Yeah, mobile games occasionally take up a bit too much of my time. :) How about you? :D

Check that performance level setting on the right-hand side. If you have it set to maximum performance, it won't down-clock to prevent stuttering in games.

If you haven't posted in a different section already (the Maximus VI section), please do so. That's where the Maximus VI experts hang out. Welcome to the forums! :)

As an experiment, try removing the ASUS drivers and replacing them with the nVidia drivers of the same version. If these give the problems you have been experiencing, then it is likely that you need...

I didn't get it on my ASUS, because the hardware reliability seems to be very good, and I trust myself not to drop my toys. Now on my Surface Pro, I did, because I carry that contraption all over the...

I'm sorta like that. Maybe that's why my average time-to-LINUX-reinstall is a few months. :) I can't mess with my notebook hardware, but I sure can mess with the software! :)

Yeah, getting a new computer would be a good plan, they are significantly faster in the GPU department these days - the CPUs are faster, but not by much.

Bein' a party-pooper? :D

Myst would be really high on the list...

Absolutely true, +rep. :)

There are always bad apples (<-no pun intended) in every company's line up, and somebody is going to get them. :( However, ASUS does take care of things, and this support...

Depending on how much gaming you are doing, the charger can get warm, yes, but if it gets really hot (painful to the touch), that is not normal.

Moved to notebook section.

That is weird. I never saw the warnings, but then again, I never went through google to the site.

Moving to notebook section...
EDIT: Done.

In answer to your question, there is a performance difference, and so I would recommend it. Load times will be much faster. :) I would not recommend...

Good. Yes, the newer kernels support newer CPUs better. It's kind of the nature of LINUX. Also, depending on where you got the kernel from, it very well could have worked because some default...

Help you do. :) There is no question about that whatsoever. We need all the help we can get. As @chrsplmr would say, that's the ROG spirit.

That USB video card will be fine for having a second monitor for basic web-surfing or things, that's it. They have terrible (read non-existent) 3D support, and take some of your CPU power to run...

I see LN2 and a propane torch! :p

Information from a mod: I don't know. :p The @ASUS guys may know. Let's wait and see what they say. :)

Check your CPU governor, and make sure that you have the system loaded. It will attempt to reduce power consumption via speedstepping otherwise.
