Melkire Posted January 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2015 Apologies in advance to everyone who roleplays with me, who has me involved in their plots, is involved in my plots, and so on and so forth. I own a single computer. An ASUS G73JW laptop. The first fan died a while back. The second one died on Sunday, and thermal paste or no thermal paste, the computer can't run FFXIV now without overheating and shutting off within a few mere minutes. Hell, it can't even last ten minutes while idling. tl;dr: I'll be away from XIV on an unwilling hiatus until such time as I can either affect repairs or else get around to building the tower I've wanted for a while now. <3 you all, hope to be back in-game soon. 'til then, I'm still around on the forums here. Link to comment

Unnamed Mercenary Posted January 27, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2015 ...that be done. And probably easily. (I had a G51-VX) If you need help looking for parts, a lot of the Asus ones are usually on ebay and some other weird online shops. I'd replaced the fan, thermal paste, thermal pads, ram, chassis (stole from a G50VT), lid/hinges (stole from a different G50VT) on mine. ...good times. Putting that poor thing through hell. It still boots up with and runs at boiling point. edit: on that note, if you need an emergency computer that could handle RP but not PvE, this could be arranged Link to comment
