If you want a quick and dirty way go to your current power plan and set the minimum processor state below to anything 100 and your maximum processor state to 99%. This will disable intel turbo boost...

That is the thing about SMART errors, they do tend to come out of nowhere in a "fine one day and not the next" fashion as the drive reaches the threshold for a problem. You might seen some slowing...

There are key commands like Fn Page Up to set the fans to maximum. There have been reports of random other keys on things like usb keyboards doing the same thing. The fix is to shut it down...

I have a G752VT and installed the creator's update. I had two issues that were easy fixes. The first issue was that the screen brightness was stuck at 100%, which I fixed by reinstalling my nvidia...

Unfortunately not. You can change the reference clock from 100MHz to 99.5MHz, but that is about it. And you can limit the CPU to a flat 2.5GHz through power plan settings, but you cannot change the...

The i7-6700HQ has a turbo boost clock of 3.1GHz when four cores are active and 3.2GHz when three cores are active. It sounds like you're sitting in the middle of the two, so it is normal. You can't...

And you have a 75Hz monitor. So?

The most ASUS will generally do is offer to RMA the unit, and refunds will probably need to be done through Best Buy. Can you contact Best Buy and ship it from overseas to ensure your refund? As long...

It was on a G752VT, but they both have a 6700HQ.
The only things that are grayed out when I open XTU are Core Voltage Mode, Intel Turbo Boost Technology controls, Cache Voltage Mode, and core...

The biggest difference between the two isn't going to be in their specs, but in their form factor. Assuming that you compare the 17.3" GL702 with the G752, you are going to find that the GL702 is...

While you can't overclock it, you can undervolt the 6700hq pretty easily, and by pretty far amounts. You can also underclock it using XTU by a whopping 0.5% by decreasing the reference clock to 99.5...

Are your headphones working properly, though? Mine does stay with the speaker icon checked and the playback devices shows speakers as active, but it is working perfectly fine with my headphones. And...

My sonic suit equalizer seems to adjust things, but I haven't tried pairing it with any app or program.
When inserting headphones I receive a prompt asking if I connected speakers or headphones. Is...

Everki makes a variety of messenger bags that fit up to an 18.4" laptop. I cannot find the exact one I have on Amazon, but both my G74SX and G752VT fit in it just fine.

Also, I am seeing the GX800 on Amazon for 6K, not 10k. I found one listing for the G800VI that had a price for around 4.5k, but I have no way to tell if that was legitimate or not. If you are...

Agreed with it not really being worth it. Here is a review of one from ASUS by Jayztwocents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeGWwziCrpw
You might be able to get some good performance gains through...

How is the GX800 any less portable than the G800? It isn't permanently attached to the dock and can run on air cooling via internal fans. In general a 17.3-18.4 inch that is around 4 kilos/9 pounds...

I replaced the keyboard on a friend's GL552 that had the same bits of plastic holding it in. There will be several major attachment points that screws fit through, for the rest I just used electrical...

Add programs that you will use or that will enhance your experience, remove or disable bloatware or background services that you don't need or want, and maybe look into undervolting your CPU so that...

I got my i7-6700HQ down to a -180mV undervolt with it remaining stable, anything below that became unstable. For now I keep it at -160mV. I saw a noticeable drop in my temps in everything but at...

Googling the CPU fan part number brought up several options to purchase the fan. I'd recommend Amazon due to their A to Z guarantee.

If you want something that performs about as well and save some money, go with the 850 EVO. Either way I second the recommendation for a Samsung SSD. The 750 EVO that has been in my previous laptop...

If you have an optical drive and don't plan on using it, I would recommend swapping that out for a drive bay insert. That is what I did for my g752VT last year and I haven't kicked myself over the...

Throttling is a process where a component, such as a CPU or GPU, will reduce its performance in order to decrease the amount of heat it is putting out so that the component won't damage itself from...

It depends on what you are comfortable with. There are people that say anything that isn't thermal throttling is fine, even if the CPU is running in the mid 90s, which if you're running dual screens...
