Im hoping to get an ASUS branded 180w-200w Adapter...I saw one for the G70 but I dont know if its going to be compatible with the G73SW...

If there are no ASUS brandaed what other brands are good that will actualy hold the
180w to 200w output?

why do you want a bigger ac? the 150w that comes with it works flawlessly. the only thing i would change is a L shaped plug

Oh yes it works fine but under realy heavy load specially when playing in stereoscopic 3D...My wattage meter always max's out at 150W and seems like it wants to go higher...but I dont have extra juice...I just want that extra wattage just incase I needed it...

Seems like it wants to go higher? LOL! Oh it will go higher if more current is drawn.

What that does to the power supply is another story, but generally they are made to handle short-term loads above their rated max.

These are load ratings, not output ratings. The machine is going to draw more juice if it needs it. A higher wattage rated power supply will be able to handle that draw, but doesn't provide more juice.

At the very least the larger power supply will run cooler.

I just ordered this, a little higher than Chastity's price, but at least it's brand new.

I might get this too even though I just ordered the L adapter...Playing Games at max setting realy heats up the stock 150w brick...and actualy eating up 150w max most of the time...Id rather have extra headroom...

Question though...

The power brick that came with my ASUS G73SW-3DE is a 19.5 volt 7.7 amps

The ones you guys posted has a 19 volt

I like the extra amps but does going from a 19.5 volt down to a 19 volt be an issue?

Electronics actually have a bit of play in them when it comes to voltage. Reading the output of a 12v line on a PSU for example will show 11.4-12.6v in a healthy desktop PSU. If we assume a similar tolerance of 5% on the original 19.5v then a 19v output within a tolerance of 2.5% will still be within the same range. Basically a *good* 19v PSU should be adequate.

Furthermore, voltage fluctuations are highest when the PSU approaches it's maximum output. Since you are using an over sized PSU the voltage fluctuations should be minimal, hence the voltage will likely be very similar to the OEM PSU under load.
