Search the threads there was quite a bit about over heating with the OC, I think the solution was to remove the OC and that solved the issue, something about Voltage I think search it up for just the G752VS OC Edition.

i think dreamonic has explanined the oc issue! Has to do with gamecenter and high voltages!

Then overheating aside, like I mentioned I've personally had a terrible time getting a unit with acceptable BLB/IPS Glow. I received a PM from a forum member who said he had the same problem and just gave up trying to get a working one. I know that isn't specific to this exact model since the panel is shared on all the OC editions as well as the G701 but it is something to be aware of. I know it's become the standard for many to just accept it as part of the technology, but that's another argument for a different thread. For me it was showing through regardless of a dark image or light, even turning red into orange.

Yup. Sorry you lost the BLB lottery. From what I've been reading on other sites it's a difficult one to win. I hate to dump more work on Bahz but he's been very helpful and communicative in trying to get my issue resolved so you might try contacting him for assistance. I had already done the return/exchange route through Amazon and in a post I made, Bahz suggested I go through Asus' repair center. That seemed like a good idea at the time as I had depleted Amazon's stock of XS74Ks but seeing how I still don't have a laptop that might not have been a wise decision. Sending my unit to Asus has been met with delays which will likely put me outside of the 30day Amazon refund window.

To be clear. I completely understand IPS glow is the nature of the beast these days. Personally I don't feel it should be but at some point we as consumers allowed panel manufacturers to create this standard through our acceptance of sub par quality. That's another argument for another time and thread. However when the panel even at medium brightness looks like there's two tiny people hidden in the bezel shining flashlights through my screen bright enough that red fades to orange, green fades to yellow and blue fades to purple there's an unacceptable problem that needs to be fixed.

Assuming the G701 and G752VS share the exact same panel then I know it's possible for the panel to be good even great. I have a friend with a G701 purchased before Christmas '16 and it's one of the best I've ever seen. IPS glow is almost non existent and even what little is there is very uniformed. There's absolutely no flashlighting/BLB to speak of. Here's hoping when I get my unit back I'll have something close.
