Wouldn't worry unless your Temps are really high, 90 C + . If you still under warranty I would contact ASUS Support. If your a DIY person pull the bottom and check fan for any obstruction.

hmmmmm... interesting....

Have you logged the sensors using HWiNFO64 ? I would check and see if it always happens at the same peak values for temps and voltages/wattage

Also if the charging...

So I had asked the question regarding if the G74SX will handle more than 1.5TB as stated by ASUS, but no one seemed to know... Took the plunge and bought a HGST 1TB 7200RPM drive... To my surprise,...

Interesting, will subscribe..... I agree also, Support for the G74SX was extremely lacking.... Its the main reason I won't buy another Asus Laptop when this one dies (company is more focused with PC...

hmmm, wondering the same thing..... guess no one has tried..... I use an Logitech Performance MX mainly, but if the touchpad left click button gets really really bad, I will attempt and post back

that sucks... I would disassemble and reassemble the whole thing again, nothing to lose at this point... Seems like you might have missed something or installed something wrong if your lucky.... If...

G74SX uses a GTX 560M 192bit 3GB (less powerful 128bit 2GB version on BB models)....... GPU is part of the MB, and cannot be replaced... I have seen the slower 2GB MB selling on Ebay for around $500...

Trying to decide what size HDD to get, but trying to figure out my max total size...

Current Setup:

- Bay 1: 180GB INTEL SSD
- Bay 2: Seagate 750GB
- Optical Bay: WD 160GB <-- Looking to...

No problem........ If you search part # 13GN5610P170-1 you'll see that places selling the a new fan is $50-$100 for 1 fan.... crazy, when Asus is selling it for $25....... main reason I picked up 2...

Gave it a shot, had some issues with the old drivers using the registry fix.... I did however decide to upgrade to the 107 driver from fresco logic and it seems to worked much better with the...

Also the BIOS doesn't brick the G74's its the method used to update the BIOS.

Updating BIOS through windows = Bricked

Updating BIOS through BIOS = No issues

3 Years later and I still have USB3.0 issues.... I though it was a power issue, so i bought a cable with dual USB ports (one 3.0 and one 2.0) for more power, resulting in the same issue. I will give...

I would assume the orange/brownish cable (middle-left)....... just a guess, but seems logical to me........ also you sure the backlight isn't just turned off.... common mistake...... try fn+f4...good...

Anything more than 8GB is really a waste... On the rare occasion more than 8GB will help out performance... Monitor usage to see if its worth it.

SSD wise I would say Performance vs. Value vs....

CL-Albert told me about their being ODD bezel available that I was looking for, Went on the E store and bought the only 1 in stock along with 2 system fans as spares.... For those who know, OEM ASUS...

You only need to rename/change the drive name if it doesn't show up in My Computer.... You shouldn't have any issues, I have swapped SATA ports and not have an issue in the past.......

To be 100%...

As long as it not the OS drive, its not an issues moving it ( I wouldn't recommend moving the OS drive to the optical bay for performance reasons).... at the very most you might have to go into...

Good luck to anyone trying that.... those clips will break after a couple of times... not smart

That drive bezel is wrong for the G74



This one looks right.... If the price is above $10 its not really worth it since I only need the Bezel and not the actual optical drive.... I would just...

- Silverstone TS09
- WD 160GB 5400RPM (will replace with WD 1TB NAS)
- Results doesn't mean much since most will use that bay for storage, posting anyways...
