Hey guys, I just bought the G750JW (hence the title) last week from BestBuy after a good solid week of constant research, and I have no complaints thus far. Though I do have a pretty generic question that seems to come up in some form or another, but I just want to make sure there are no loose ends. It seems to me that the best/only way to really spice up the computer's performance is by way of XTU and GPU Tweak (both of which I have yet to do but will be soon). I simply want to clarify that aside from what I've done already (listed below), if/when I utilize these two programs, there's not much else I can do to safely maximize this computer's performance.
In the past week, I've:
- backed up the original os/hdd to DVD
- added 8gb (2x4gb) to the already 8gb RAM
- installed a 120gb Samsung EVO 840 SSD
- installed Windows 7 Ultimate on said SSD (along with all appropriate drivers to my knowledge)
- departitioned/formatted/totally cleared and unified the original 1tb HDD to the best of my ability
- deleted Power4 Gear
... I think that's all. I know, basic stuff but from the reading and research I've done, it all was obviously necessary to help bring this caged beast to life. I have no real complaints so far (minus the fact that the amazingly large touchpad gets in the way when typing), though I haven't really put it to any real world tests, besides the 3dmark tests which yielded somewhat poor results shown HERE. I'm just looking to get the most out of it while being safe about it. I don't need desktop performance coming out of a laptop that some people seem to think they're going to get.
As a heads up, I'm currently on page 22 of the G750 forums. I've been doing some reading, and while I've found some interesting stuff, if there's anything left I can do that I haven't already (besides utilize the XTU and GPU Tweak which I will be soon), please let me know. I'm not wanting to squeeze ever bit of juice out of it, I do want to keep it safe for sure.
Other than that... Hello, ROG users :cool:
EDIT: One more thing, at least that I can think of right now. I have Bios version 207 and have yet to update to 208. Is it hard/risky? Is it necessary? Is it worth it? Thanks again.

Call me a safer but, you have a 765m GTX in there, you don't really need to clock it up do you?
I know it sounds weird, but I was never a believer in Over Clocking, sure it'll get the better performance, but I just don't see the point in punishing the devices beyond their designed work load, risking breaking them.
Maybe that's just a personal thing and you have much more experience, but doesn't this machine have enough power already? :c
Just don't forget that if you over-clock it, you MAY void your warranty as far as I'm aware.

If you don't touch the voltages - which are normally locked on laptops anyway, then the risk of damage to the hardware is minimal - maybe a few Windows crashes, but nothing major, and depending on the system, you can get a nice performance bump (not huge, but nice under the right situations). Oh, and for some, the OC'ing is about doing it, not the results.

Since you did read over 20 pages of this forum, would you be kind and write up a nice guide for us JW buyers as well? You'll get a lot of thankful people 😄

.. just about doing it? Like.. the feel of succession? Something you yourself put into the system? How interesting.. ':x
.. maybe I should try something small to begin with, try it for myself.
