Looks awesome! Almost looks like a stock component! Good job man! Must be a pain to clean those fans without the removable covers though...I'll be doing a repaste on mine soon, anything I should be aware of? The G75 I had was a breeze to do, anything different here?

I'd do that too, but I'm worried that other components like RAM and parts of the motherboard not connected to the heatsink won't get enough airflow like they get now.

Correct he just robbed other important hardware of the airflow path that the g751 was designed around. As someone who has externally probe tested each component and run airflow tests with a smoke machine he has most likely done more harm then good not to mention voided all warranty for a few degrees. Would not have been my choice but congrats on modding it cleanly.

If there were issues regarding passive cooling around on or near other components, my VX going over 2 years strong the same way would have shown signs of malfunctioning or overheating (look at phones, tablets, some have no heatsink, obviously no fan, passive cooling) same thing applies here. No issues. YES, they do have better power and thermal management in those devices, not to mention different architecture but they ALWAYS are having to throttle clocks to lower temps and power with use and without. Similar controls are in place for the other components in notebooks too. PLUS, I only intend on keeping notebooks for a few years so if they're lasting that long like this, then good enough. No need to be an e-hoarder 😉
Regarding warranty, I never intend to use it, ever. I'd rather have a competent individual such as myself to disassemble and reassemble my purchase than someone who doesn't give two ****s about my system. Not to mention down time and process and ordeal that RMAs can create, while still not rectifying the problem should there have been one. I can do this myself.
This wasn't just a few degrees, but a game changing difference in running max performance.
I'm not new to the block and I'll pay to play. I accept it.
Thanks for the feedback and your opinion nonetheless.
