    Hello,

    First I did start reading the owners club posts... but 354 pages is a lot of reading.

    I was wondering if there was an optimization guide similar to these:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/what-to-do-with-your-new-g73jh.539984/
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/unboxing-your-g73-a-short-setup-guide.503701/

    First:
    Alienware 17 r3
    GTX970m
    6700HQ

    I also tried out the prema mod. from his instructions you run the ModMe.bat

    Windows returns with not allowing me to run this on my pc

    I was going to go the long route then with his vbios. started with GPUz to back up my current vbios and was then met with a message about not being able to read the bios after the computer "chirped" at me a couple times.

    Anyways.... just searching for thoughts and opinions.

    Should I bother with the prema mod? I don't plan on repasting my gpu... but have never had any heat issues. before opening any games I always restart and enable performance mode for the cpu and the gpu fan.

    Thanks!!
