Greetings.

I thought I'd start this thread with the hope of talking about something positive on this board, as it seems everybody's complaining. I'm happy with my G750JW, I actually love it. Very sleek design, quality materials and quite a beast for its low price. I can't understand all the negativity here to be honest. I haven't noticed issues with my screen, but I plan on replacing it with a AUO B173HW01 V5 anyway, from the reviews I read it sounds very worthwhile for an $80 investment.

Anyway, I've been scouting the internet trying to find any information about Haswell mobile overclocking, specifically our 4700HQ but to no avail. I understand that it will most probably require a modified bios. I don't plan on setting records here but I'd love to see if we can get this thing clocked to a 4800MQ. Would like to hear your opinions on whether this will be possible 😄

May I ask what your Idle/Load/Stress temperatures are for your 4700HQ at stock in the JW?

Mine are:

Idle: 50c
Load: 85c
Stress: 100c

I'm not gonna do the stress test as I believe its unnecessary. Rendering is pretty much the maximum stress my laptop, and pretty much 99% of us is ever gonna put on the laptop realistically. I think its possible to get lower temps by changing the thermal paste, but that's if we find a way to overclock this first 😉

is AUO B173HW01 V5 glossy? or does it come in matte version that isn't as grainy?

Not that I know of yet.

Thank you! I'll run Cinebench 11.5 and compare to 85c.

PPanda · ‎07-07-2013

Oh man... 98c Max, sat around 96c.

I'll be RMAing for repaste Tuesday...

Hopefully this thread can help others decide if their temps are normal or if they got a bad paste job like me.

I ran cinebench and highest temp my CPU hit was 85c

Asus G750JW-DB71
