Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Lets Redo the Liquid Metal & Increase The Mounting Pressure
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- What's up everybody I got another Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage video for you guys today. This time I attempted to get some better cooing by redoing the LM and adding some washers for better mounting pressure. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and I did not get better performance so I honestly wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're very tech-savvy and understand the risks. Plus understand it might not help like what happened to me. Though I will say idle temps are way better. But if you feel like giving it a shot let me know your results. I still wanted to show how to do it to for anyone interested. If you have any questions or requests of course feel free to ask.
Also have made a Discord server for this laptop where you can talk to each other and me about this awesome laptop / discord

No antistatic strap, no antistatic mat, didn't disconnect the battery... You legend!
Lol, I figure if you are careful none of that is necessary.
Idk if you will see this message but I tried some things with cooling of this laptop and best thing is to:
1.Put very very thin layer of liquid metal on cpu and cooling since pressure on cpu is way better than on gpu so more metal makes worse temperatures
2. Use K5 Pro or any other thermal grease on VRMs (thin 1-1.5mm layer)
3. Use GELID Ultimate thermal Pads 0.5mm or any other 0.5 mm pads with good performance on GPU Vrams
4. Put way more metal on GPU than on CPU on die and cooling side since pressure here is way worse so to fill gap between die and cooling we use more liquid metal (cant look like river tho) :D
After this I have 82-84degrees max on CPU and 74 on gpu core,78 on memory and hotspot max is 81-82 degrees only.
Would be cool if any of you would like this comment and try if you have this laptop ofc then write your results here 🙂
I still haven't given up on getting decent temps quite yet. Thank you very much for the comment I will definitely try out your suggestions. Will comment back when I try and let you know the results.
is there any place where I can get the mobo layout to know which are the VRMS and which are the GPU Vrams?, might sound like a silly question, but I just want to be sure, Where exactly do I put the nylon washers?, thanks in advance!
thank you so much! I just changed the rams and ssds following your guide couple days ago.
Very glad I could be of help you're very welcome.
Holy moly, you really stepped up a notch with this video. You are officially the Asus Rog Advantage legend!
Thank you very much, I wish I got way lower temps. But it was still a fun experience even though it was a little stressful at times.
Yep temp can be a hit or miss, the fact that you opened it up, cleaned it, apply lm and put it back in already helps a lot of people out there, thank you so much
@@XxViciousxX you could get -20 degrees on cpu with no problem getting the same performance even higher
@@leonidasuno3803 Definitely going to try undervolting the laptop in a video soon.
@@XxViciousxX no need undervolt send you config via discord
Thanks for the guide. Since this unit is right around the same power as the new consoles I’ll be keeping mine for years.
You're very welcome. That's a good way to look at it it will last as long as the PS5 and Series X. Plus the G15s CPU is much more powerful so at least in CPU intensive games it will do better than either of them.
I plan to keep mine permanently even when I upgraded to a 7000 series AMD laptop. This laptop pretty much made my RUclips channel somewhat successful so I would be foolish to ever get rid of it. It'll always be around for comparisons and to show how games run.
@@XxViciousxX yeah please keep this laptop and make videos, cause You are the only source of mine when it comes to this laptop. Also, AMD has reputation to make things better over the years (unlike Nvidia). It's really fun to see your videos and expect what performance may I get.
Thanks buddy!
@@Priyajit_Ghosh You're very welcome I am going to make videos with this thing for a very long time.
@@XxViciousxX Awesome!
Hey buddy your video help me alot in changing liqid metal, and after doing this am surprised my results are way more awsome than i thought. am getting 240 fps on apex legends on ultra settings temp is around 89 to 92 (95 -96 and low fps in stock liquid metal ). Performance is increased drastically/
Glad to hear it increased performance! Also glad my video helped you out.
just did this on my Asus ROG Strix G733CX with i9-12950HX and 3080Ti, CPU temperatures went down by 25c, i didn`t even clean old stuff off, i just used what was left overs from chip, only cleaned plate side and there i put new liquid metal. It`s unbelievable how bad it was from factory... Asus need`s to sort this out.
That's for sure some laptops are fine but others have terrible applications from the factory.
I get way better temps in games like mw II with this laptop if I set APU sPPT to 40w and Platform sPPT to max while using the #3 fan curve preset for both cpu and gpu in manual mode in armory crate. I noticed that the #3 manual fan curve preset still allows for higher fan speeds then the turbo preset. No performance loss with cpu temps at 85c instead of 95c, and gpu at 85c and tjmax of 95c consistently even after hours of gameplay, in mw II at least. Great vid btw, def doing the hard work for the rest of us. With how hot these things get, repaste gonna be a must for all of us at some point.
That's a pretty good idea. I also have another one that a few people suggested there's an AMD tuning program that a few people have suggested.
Damn Buddy! You are single-handedly carrying everything about the whole Asus Advantage Laptop! Kudos to you!
Btw your Timespy Score is good, I get less than 11k
Thank you. Glad my score is at least decent after the whole ordeal.
@@XxViciousxX yeah, well your score and performance is always better than mine. I get 10kish, even though I have 5980hx
Great video thank you!!!
Well thank you very much and you're very welcome.
Thanks for the video it's really helpful to me.
I'm very glad it helped you you're very welcome.
Yesss u rock bro.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Now that you're doing such a good job, why didn't you clean the fans as well?
I do not recommend thermal pads on the voltage converters and VRAM. The heat transfer is significantly worse to the heatsink and small cavities form. In high-performance laptops, always use a special thermal paste such as K5 pro.
I got some thermal grizzly extreme on the way that should be a little better. Some people were telling me thermal pads ruin trying to get better mounting pressure which was what I was trying to achieve here.
@@XxViciousxX This is also a reason why I do not recommend thermal pads. Since the contact pressure of the cooler changes, there may not be any real pressure on the CPU and GPU and thermal throttling may occur. From my own experience I experienced this with my gl702zc. I have removed the blue thermal paste that Asus uses as standard in their laptops and replaced it with thermal pads. I always had problems with micro stuttering and my cpu performance wasn't very good either. After I removed the pads and replaced them with k5 pro thermal paste, there are no more drops in performance and my cpu (r7 1700) is on desktop level in the cb23 benchmark.👍
@@Scale_Hardwarebox Now will my thermal grizzly extreme work or do you need a specific paste-like K5? I figured you could use any paste but thinking back what I took off was more like putty than paste. regardless hopefully it will work better than the thermal pads that I have on there now. don't want to have to keep taking it apart.
@@XxViciousxX It is best to use a thermal paste that is viscous. With k5 pro you have the advantage that it does not start to become liquid even under great heat. The application is not so easy because the paste is almost like chewing gum. But with a spatula it works quite well. When applying it is important that you first apply a 1mm thick layer, e.g. on the voltage converters, and then another drop on the middle which is again 1mm high. As soon as you mount the cooler, the paste compresses to the right thickness and you have perfect heat transfer.
@@Scale_HardwareboxJust run it hot, then pull the bottom off and ensure you're still tight.
You made a Great job man, may be I'll be able to change liquid metall for warranty in asus service and I'll ask them to use thermal pads like you. I think I have alittle less then a year of my warranty.
Thank you glad I made this video even if it didn't go exactly the way I wanted. As it still seems useful.
@@XxViciousxX this video was really usefull, because I always thought that change of liquid metal will solve problems with temperatures. Also we saw evaporation chamber from below
Fun fact, warranty stickers are illegal in the US now. They are placebo at this point. You won't lose your warranty for breaking the sticker anymore
Well, that's good news thank you for that information.
Legally, yes. But manufacturers are almost all still ignoring the FCC rules and are refusing to cover the warranty when the stickers are removed. The FCC never enforces the rules, so nothing really changed. You should still try and place the sticker back.
thanks bro
You're very welcome.
Great vid dude sorry it didn’t solve it, still good guide 🤜
Thank you sucks it didn't go as planned but still had fun doing the video.
Brother STRONG and NECESSARY video as always
4 days ago I did the same works with my ASUS G17, changed factory Liquid Metal to Thermal grizzly Liquid Metal after 1 year of enjoyment
and also changed factory thermal pads to FROST MINING Liquid Thermal Pad 20W
after opening a vapor chamber I was disappointed with how Liquid metal and Thermal pads were applied
The same situation with the Liquid Metal like was on yours G15 overmuch METAL on CPU\GPU and the same problem with air holes on CPU\GPU
On CPU looks like i have a little burn where were air hole
Factory Thermal pads also wasn't applied correctly I can say 60% of MOSFETS was without a proper contact with Thermal pads and this is REAL AWFUL
I'm GLAD I decided to see what's inside and replaced the Metal and Pads cause without this replacement My ASUS G17 wouldn't last long
After all that replacement i noticed TEMPS on CPU/GPU in STRESS TEST like Cinebench or Time Spy and on Games didnt changed well maybe 1 or 2 degree below
But Performance increased well
Im using always manual mode to MAX CPU/GPU and 100% FAN Mode
Cinebench R23 Multi core before replacement 13015 pts after 14330 pts
Time Spy Score Before 11 003 after 11 586
on Cyberpunk 2077 I got Thermal Throttling before every time when used TURBO MODE and less on MANUAL MODE but still had Throttling
after that decided to use 33W/CPU and 145W/GPU with FAN 100% and Throttling is gone, less FPS but still playable
NOTE - I'M NOT USING COOLING PAD
Right NOW after replacement Throttling is gone FINALLY on all MODES and FPS increased well
Cyberpunk 2077 BENCHMARK settings HIGH/ FSR 2.1 Quality/ Manual Mode MAX CPU/GPU - 100% FAN/ 6400 Max RPM on FAN cause of BIOS you already told me😉
before 82 FPS and right now 111 FPS
performance increased well and i like it 😊
I'm waiting laptops to upgrade with Ryzen 7000 and RX 7000m series and hope ASUS will FIX or Improve their cooling systems with proper applies of Liquid Metal and Thermal Pads
Nice wish mine turned out like that lol but still glad I made the video.
Respect for trying tho great vid 👍
It was at least an interesting learning experience for sure. It didn't turn out the way I hoped but at least it's a great guide for anybody who does want to give it a shot.
Now my plan is to try and see if I can find somebody in the discord that can show me how to tinker with the RAM a little more and undervolt I saw a couple people that knew what they were doing in there a lot more than me anyway.
@@XxViciousxX could u send a link to tht discord server?
@@darks9217 Sure can. discord.gg/Hkab7DHC2C
@@XxViciousxX hey there is a guy who can mod bios to push thr cpu more Wattage and clock.
Great job dude! Btw the later models use kapton tape instead of that rubber thing to stop the lm from spilling
You gonna try tuning the thing to have much better performance or you still going to keep stock on the tune side?
I'd like to tune it one guy sent me some stuff as a message in discord but haven't looked at Discord since i got done doing this whole ordeal. So i'd be open to trying different things and seeing what works best.
@@XxViciousxX i made a whole guide on it you know
@@kickskii I know some one recently sent me a video you did showing how. So I figured I could try both options and see which works better. Heck for all I know the other guy just sent me your video too.
@@XxViciousxX if you have any questions you can always hit me up on discord
I'm on your discord so just hit me up if you confused or anything
@@kickskii Absolutely will and will probably have to I may be good at hardware but when it comes to software and all that kind of stuff that's where I fall flat on my face.
Thoughts on taking the LM off and trying the thermal pads for cpu\gpu?
I was thinking about trying that one I saw on Linus tech tips a couple days ago. But obviously I'm not going to do that too super soon. It was a weird one that would start off being a solid but then when it gets to a certain temperature it turns to liquid and then apparently it's within a couple degrees of liquid metal and a laptop like this might actually work better who knows.
When I disassemble laptop like this, I usually start from cleaning vents 1st
I actually did clean them and got all the gigantic hair and dust particles out of them. Just did not get rid the the minor surface dust so it still looks dirty. Also did a how-to-clean-out dust video about a week before this video.
I have the Strix scar with the Intel and 3070 TI version of this laptop, and thinking about redoing LM because my temps sometimes fluctuate all over the place. Also what size are the washers you end up using in the laptop ? didn-t know that was a thing lol.
The washers were M2 but for me, it did not ever really help others have had massive success. So I'd do it at your own risk. But if you do end up going through with it let me know how it goes.
Achei legal foi uma boa aventura, toda tentativa é valida
It was the thermal pads. Should have used thermal paste called k5 pro. Pads are affecting the pressure in the cpu and gpu.
I did retry with some thermal grizzly extreme as others also told me the pads were the reason. But I still get worse temps than stock. Even tried PTM which got closest to stock temps but still no cigar. Still going to try again maybe go back to LM and just keep retrying. Seems getting LM perfectly applied is harder on a CPU and GPU than just the raw die of a CPU (de-lided a bunch of CPUs in the past and never had an issue with my application) but I think I'm just failing on the LM application for whatever reason.
Thanks for the video! How did you add washers to the chamber board? I can't remove the screws from it and obviously there's something I'm missing
You're very welcome. They have little clips you have to take off before the screws will be released.
I used a pair of tweezers to take the clips off. Just held my hand over them. The first one went flying luckily I found it. So I started holding my hand over so the clips would just hit my hand and fall on the table.
@@XxViciousxX thanks man! 👍🏼
Hello, thank you very much for your content, you should create a discord so that people can leave their experiences and so that they can communicate more easily with each other.
Just a suggestion.
To my bad luck I speak Spanish and I understand a bit of what you are saying, the rest is supported by the translator, I would love to find a Latino with your knowledge.
As always, thank you very much for your content!
You're extremely welcome. I actually have had a Discord for about 6 months with a little over a hunderd people in it. I always include it in my description maybe I should post it as a comment and pin it on each video from now on so more people will notice.
hey man i changed my LM and added some Thermal paste on sides it didnt changed any temps i was getting the same temp earlier, cpu always 80+ avg and gpu 70+ on idle, looks like the thermals are designed like that by asus,
Yeah no matter what I do I can't get the temps I had and honestly, I wish I left it alone but glad I made the video for people.
The issue with the laptop is not the thermal paste but the fin stack density.
I have this laptop (for absolute best performance it is not that great, but for on the go gaming and battery life its a monster) and the liquid metal transfers heat amazingly to the vapor chamber, but the vapor chamber heat transfer to the fin stack via heatpipes (not to mention the very small fin stacks) is where the cooling has a problem.
The other point is that heat density for single core applications is insane. That is from where most 95C temps come from.
On manual mode you can get multi core games down to 67C by limiting the CPU to 20W.
But that 20W will still get to 95C on a single core.
I tested this laptop with both a laptop cooler, a vacum cooler, air conditioning, in summer and winter (summer 30C, winter -10C).
It always hit 95C, even in silent mode (most commonly when "loading" a game).
I even had this crazy idea to plug my custom watercooling loop to the laptop to see if the laptop would benefit from something like a XMG Oasis (I know you cannot install it on the Adv. edition, but was just curious). Decided not worth it since I could not implement it anyway.
If we at least could undervolt.
I was hoping to get the same cooling as the guy in the Reddit post but after comments like this, I can only assume the guy either lied about the performance or maybe his was just a golden chip that did not require the same volta as mine. Still glad I made the video tho although I have not been able to get the temps back to stock levels yet.
@@XxViciousxX I may be wrong but I think the giant air holes in the liquid metal is just where the contact between the cooler and the CPU/GPU is actually making good contact so the liquid metal gets pushed outwards. (pump out effect, common in laptops).
Probably if you sand the cooler (the most dangerous and dumbest thing to do perhaps) you could get better contact surface for the entire thing and nee only a minimal amount of LM.
An additional advice is to NEVER pour the LM directly onto the cpu/gpu die. Put it on a separate thing (like a plastic) and pick it up from there with the q-tip , then apply.
By pressing the needle directly on top of the die you run the risk of some LM that ahs gotten drier to block the rest until you overpush it and throw out a massive line of LM all over your laptop.
The amount of LM that should be applied in most cases is "as little as possible, but it covers all the area".
Personally I am waiting for Kryosheet to hit the market and then I will test on my own Advantage edition if it is better or a LM replace.
@@lrmcatspaw1 LM was much easier to apply when I was deliding CPU's trying to get it perfect on a bigger scale is harder than I thought. That does look like an interesting product I'll probably try it out when it comes out too.
@@XxViciousxX I am in the process of testing the Kryosheets.
So far they look promising, but the change of the goop for thermal pads had my laptop shutting down so I am a bit worried there. (followed someone else advice for thermal pad thickness, had to change all 1 mm think pads for 0.5mm. So far no shutdowns).
I think the VRM/mosfets of the gpu are very poorly soldered and are literally at different heights so yeah....
So far it seems gpu and CPU are more often at higher temperatures BUT the performance is better and the absolute max temps have dropped.
I am VERY interested (and scared) for how this will perform long term.
As a fast side note, my scores used to be (original setup with LM ofc) 11300 Cinebench R23, to max 12010.
Now, on performance mode it is 13224. With the Kryosheets.
My laptop would shut down on extreme loads (like path of exile juiced map), so the shutting down thing is not exactly new, but it would happen very rearly.
@@lrmcatspaw1 Maybe that's why they went with the goopy stuff instead of thermal pads then I had a bunch of people telling me the thermal pads were messing me up and to go back to goop.
But I didn't have any K5 Pro or anything of that nature so I just use some thermal gizzly extreme which again people yelled at me about saying that's not for that but better than nothing.
But let me know how those Kryosheets work for you I'm using PTM at the moment getting okay temps still not as good as I had stock though which still irritates me to this day makes me wish I never opened it up But then other people at least got better attempts so I'm glad my video helped them so I'm conflicted lol.
Dud pls be my savior, what is the material that protects the sides of the micro? the one that makes like a seal for the liquid metal to not got off
I break it and need to replace it, mine was almos rigid
I always called it a foam barrier but im sure that's not the technical term but I'd hit up Asus and see if they can ship you the part.
I'm only half way through the video, but seeing you used pads on the vram and stuff, did it work? Pretty sure they used paste because there wasn't enough room, and pads would prevent the cooler from making enough contact with the cpu and gpu die
Finished the video... I'm suspecting the pads you used are too tall, try a good thermal paste rather than the pads. Also, it was hard to tell on camera but it looked like you might have had too much LM on the gpu
I did mess up some stuff but I got it pretty much back to normal now. Plus, I added one of if not the best cooling pads, and now it's doing pretty dang good in the FPS department and gets decent scores in benchmarks again.
I seen lots of videos were they apply Liquid Metal at the heat sink as well not sure if that would make a difference you try ptm7950
I did try that the second time I redid the LM. Then after that, I did use PTM and still am right now and it's pretty dang close to what LM can do.
Can someone reply with link for that reddit post and Linus video he's talking about? I searched but couldn't find them.
Sure can here's the Reddit post www.reddit.com/r/ASUSROG/comments/qz5snd/asus_rog_strix_g15_advantage_edition_g513qy/ and here's the Linus video ruclips.net/video/2BhKx0iQ4K8/видео.html
Have you tried turning off turbo boost in battery options? Had the same issue of high temps in my device and turning off turbo boost did help me a lot with a very insignificant performance loss
Yes, I have tried that but in the games I play it kills fps a little too much for my liking in many games it makes almost no difference. Then when I make videos I like having it at 100% full power so people can see what the laptop can do. But I still appreciate the advice.
@@XxViciousxX I found going into manual mode and turning down the sliders slowly until you get between 85-90 celius in a cpu intense game like battlefield 2042 or something and call it a day... i drove myself nuts also with this but so what if I lose 3% performance, its still better then thermal throttling all day. My sweet spot is 32w apu sppt and 166w sPPT
@@xKevmachinex That probably is the most logical thing to do. My fiddling around inside the laptop finally caught up with me and the laseemedseems to be dead.
Seeing you do all of that and then leaving dust in your fans killed me.
Yeah, I did not feel like getting them perfectly dust free. But I did get the dust out of the heatsinks and out from around the bearings
Why do you put the washers on? And which side do younput them? Surely they make the heatsink higher so not as tight a contact with the CPU and GPU?
They're supposed to increase pressure. Got to put them behind the spring to give it more pressure. If it didn't have the spring you'd be 100% right but since the spring is there it makes it press harder. Though it still didn't give me the temps I had seen in reddit from doing this.
You made a whole lot of mess by adding those thermal pads on Vram and ICE looks like they are thick hence your cpu and gpu die isn't making proper contact and your cpu is reaching 100c and your gpu is literally thermal throttling by hitting 87c ill suggest order some Upsiren U6 pro thermal putty and trash those shitty thermal pads and do your lm mod again and enjoy temps below 80c easy!
And reason why factory was using white goo was it was thermal putty and they don't interfere with ur cpu and gpu contact unlike thermal pads!
I tried all sorts of stuff to get temps under control but to no avail. Even had the thing shutting down thinking I fryed something but eventually, I got it back up and going still not great temps but at least no restarts or stutters or anything other than high temps. Quite a few people told me I should stop messing with laptops and stick with desktops as I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to laptops.
Hi thank you for the video, i just bought i Asus strix g15 Avantage edition it's hot like yours, I'm wondering is that normal temperature or a got a bad unit ?
Most of them get this hot I have seen a couple of people that have units that get like up to only 88 or 86 c but I see a lot more like mine that get up to 95 96 c. Mine has so far lasted over a year and I've been using it to make RUclips videos a lot so it gets a lot more action than most people's laptops probably would and it's still doing great No crashing or restarting or anything like that.
I think it's normal temp as I also get 95-96c
@@Priyajit_Ghosh So I guess it's not so bad then. That's at least good.
@@XxViciousxX actually amd days 95c for our laptop is ok
@@shanesahilreddyudumula Well that's reassuring at least. Plus I know it won't throttle performance until 105c. At least according to the processors specs.
I have change my mind about take this notebook because it hard to clean air fan and change thearmal metarial stuff :x
You don't actually have to replace the thermal compound LM will never dry out. I just wanted to see if I could get better temps as did my subs. So I took one for the team and tried to make it get better temps. Fans are really easy to clean you can even take them out with just three screws each and easily replace them if one goes bad. Almost all laptops will require you to open them up to clean the fans that are the only lame party but it's not hard to get this guy open much easier than many other laptops out there.
Muchas gracias por esto
Una pregunta con que quitas el metal líquido para limpiarlo?
Otra pregunta no es necesario quitar la batería para realizar esto? Gracias
I used some 91% ISO alcohol with some q-tips and paper towels. It was pretty annoying to get it all off but I eventually did. The battery is a very good thing to disconnect because if you accidentally say drop a screw and it hits the right spot it could bridge a connection spark and break something it might just spark and scare the heck out of you. The only reason I do not disconnect the batteries whenever I do anything in my laptops are steam deck or anything like that is because what I was a teenager I disconnected a battery and I ripped the connection right off the motherboard as I was trying to disconnect it so I've only ever damaged a laptop by disconnecting the battery So far I have never even sparked anything working on it with the battery still in but like I said it's playing with fire but my logic is I've broken a computer by disconnecting it and haven't by not so I'm just going to keep not disconnecting it from now on but that's just me.
What are your fan curves set at in armory crate, I considering cutting a square off my back panel and adding some stick on low profile heatsinks
To the large rectangle area of the laptops heatsink (where the mounting screws are)
My Temps are similar to yours, I'm using maxed fan speeds in manual mode but if I drop 15 watts off the second slider Temps drop to around 88
Also I upgraded to kingston fury impact ram, got me about 250 more score in timespy
I have them set to hit 100% at 80c on GPU or CPU but have the sliders maxed out (which I admittedly probably shouldn't do. But I see it as a worst-case scenario in the cooling department.
@XxViciousxX try letting it hit 100% fan speed earlier, especially the GPU as Temps are lower on the GPU die but it's a shared heatsink the GPU fan not maxing out can effect the CPU Temps, worth a shot its noisy but I mean once we been gaming for a moment we hit max fan speed anyways, let it get there sooner it does stay a bit cooler
@@jackdurham7134 I'll give that a shot for sure cuz you make a good point I'm used to using a very loud cooling pad so why not just have my laptop get a little louder sooner rather than getting up to the highest temperature immediately.
I’ve “solved” this CPU temps problem by disabling turbo boost (locks to 3.1ghz), because my temp got up to 95 degrees on cpu and I’ve managed to keep them below 90 always, gpu never didn’t really hit above 85, actually disabling turbo boost offers more power to GPU
That's a great way to do it. I use no turbo for my quiet mode keeps temps around 60-70 instead.
But in CPU intensive games you do lose a little performance doing that at least for my testing in games like COD.
Hey buddy, How to disable the Turbo Boost and lock to 3.1 ghz?
Hey how do you disable turbo?

So for me what kind of thermal paste needs my graph if I don't want the terminal pads?
Get some UPSIREN UTP-8 or H1300 Thermal Putty they tend to be the best recommended thermal putty in my discord.
Thinking of buying one since it is on sale but have a 2021 Strix Scar 17 with 3060… will it be good for a switch?
It's a little upgrade but it won't be a night and day difference in most games. So not sure if it's worth upgrading to.
@@XxViciousxX Gotcha, appreciate the response.
The liquid metal application was fine, the problem is that these laptops are not suited for thermal pads, you can leave the stock or use thermal paste (mx4 works well).
I don't have the same model but mine has the same vapor chamber heatsink. I tested mx4, mx6, k5 pro, thermal pads and noticed that the thermal paste is the only one that doesn't leave a "gap" between the cpu/gpu and the heatsink. Try and you will see a noticeable difference :), also be careful with the heatsink cuz it's kinda fragile and it can be "deformed".
I do have some thermal grizzly extreme left over from redoing the RAM and MOSFETs and chokes. Grabbed that gigantic $80 tub of it.
I have a Honeywell phase change pad on the way that someone wanted me to try. Then I'll go to the thermal grizzly extreme of that doesn't work.
@@XxViciousxX the honeywell works well but liquid metal is still better. Any thermal paste will work the chips and vram
My laptop started to turn off in the middle of the games, i literally checked everything everything was fine, so i took it apart, waiting on pads and liquid metal
Did you have the same temperature 🌡️ 95°- 96° when you bought the laptop or is just now after 1 year an a half ?
Because I just bought mine Asus strix g15 Avantage edition it's 95° when playing warzone and high demand games, is that normal ?
Mine has always been that hot day one. I just now figured I'd do a video cuz a lot of people wanted to see if it was possible to get to be a little cooler. Unfortunately I failed but it was still an interesting experience and I will probably try again later.
@@XxViciousxX thank you for your reply
Hi, Mine also has always been high on temperatures
Hey, I was hoping you could help me with some issues. If I am on a wifi with 2.4GHz frequeny and if bluetooth is also turned on then the internet speed drops down by a huge margin, like in KBps. I usually use a 5GHz wifi so this whole scenario is kinda avoided but have you ever experienced anything like it with your g15 advantage? Also, another problem is that the laptop would shut down on its own like someone removed the power supply when doing anything cpu/gpu intensive task. This only happens if the laptop is plugged in. I still have my warranty and got the technicians to look into it, they changed the thermal paste suspecting it was due to overheating, but it didnt resolve the problem. Do you have any idea or experienced anything like it?
Thanks in advance :)
I honestly did not use the 2.4ghz much since I was so close to my router I just used the 5ghz for extra speed. I also put a different Wifi card in since the Mediatek one was pretty bad and took like a solid minute to connect to the internet when id tun the laptop on. As well as not getting very good range or download speeds. So unfortunately can't comment much on the stock wifi of the laptop.
The shutting down thing I have heard about as well as random restarts. But the only time mine shut down was when I tried to improve the cooling and said made it much worse. But that was my bad and not the laptop's fault in any way. Some have said the shutoff might be due to a bad power brick. Or possibly something on the motherboard that has started to let go but hasn't completely broken yet. If it's randomly restarting it might have the old GPU BIOS on it which was causing some issues.
@@XxViciousxX Even I figured that it was either heating problem or power supply problem. I called an asus technician, they changed the thermal paste but not the thermal pads. The problem could also be with the battery or the power brick as you mentioned. I suspected RAM as well, but if that were the case then the shutdown issue would still persist when not plugged in.
A gentle undervolt might bring those temps down out of the 90s and into the 80s?
Wich program is for undervolt bro?
BRO What is the thickness of your thermal Pads..It would be very helpful for me if i have to open mine to repaste the stuff inside my laptop...I searched all over the internet for the right thickness of thermal pads to use in Rog g15 2021 but no proper answer found.
please help😕
After lots of digging this is what a few people in some forms that did this said the thickness should be. However, someone said that using pads at all might screw the mounting pressure up even worse than factory. So I'm going to open it up one more time and try to paste but regardless here is the answer to your question.
1. VRAM 0.5mm
2. Chokes 0.5mm
3. Mosfets 1mm
@XxViciousxX Bro this is exactly the right answer i was looking for so are you gonna use thermal paste instead of pads ?
anyway looking forward on that part on your next video.
Have a great day.
keep up the informative good work.
This will be really helpful for me and other 'less tech' savy people😄
When your GPU junction gets above 100 celsius, have you noticed any performance loss? or is it stable... my GPU junction hits the mid 90s pretty often
I have seen it get up to 102 and so far it has not impacted gaming performance.
The only thing that has impacted gaming performance is when a sensor called HTC gets tripped then my FPS tanks to 25 FPS and then back up to max every once in awhile but I fixed that already hasn't happened in a very long time. Funny enough it only happened when I used a really low end cooling pad.
@@XxViciousxX thank you for the info and quick replay! Also, how did you fix the HTC problem? Sometimes while gaming, my fps will randomly tank for a couple seconds too
@@Young09ethan I ended up grabbing a decently expensive cooling pad and haven't had those issues since.
Not until I opened up the laptop and messed with stuff then it came back only when using the cooling pad. But that was my fault not the laptop's fault I should have left it alone. I'm just waiting on some thermal compound and I'm going to fix the problem this time Well hopefully.
K 5 works wonder thermal puddy and i hold 50 idle under full load its about 80ish
You should try not using the nylon washers in between the board and the heatsink. Your adding a gap by doing so. Good video though.
I was just copying the guy on the Reddit post but I also kind of wondered how that increased mounting pressure I figured you would need a stronger spring and probably shorter screw if you wanted to increase the pressure.
I still figured the video is useful for other stuff But I will for sure be taking the washers out when I go and give the Kryosheets I bought out.
I also get temps at around 94*c is that a bad thing for long time ?
It sounds alarming but so far my laptop has lasted two years and some change. So it's not too bad or I feel like mine would have died really quick as mine is at 96 basically all the time (I'm not sitting on the desktop or playing a very easy to run game).
I took mine apart to repaste and the original pasting was crap!
Did you have a cover/film that was *orange-ish, over the CPU/GPU?
Just read it's the silicone seal to prevent LM leakage. I use GC-4 paste so remove it?
Mine just had the white stuff covering the transistors on the CPU and GPU.
@@XxViciousxXASUS does crap pasting jobs!
I just read horror stories on Reddit. Thanks a bunch.
@@jayclarke777 You're very welcome.
Yeah is showing up only in BIOS, but when you try to instal the drivers it comes up as an error
Well thats super lame sorry to hear that =/.
Cannot believe you didn't disconnect the battery, I guess we take the risks we want to take but for a cooler, all the metal, all the screws... I'd never chance that. very helpful tutorial, thank you.
I get that a lot but since I broke a connector in the past when I was younger I just don't disconnect small batteries. But always tell people it is recommended. Plus I am pretty careful and had the thing open so many times now I'm not too worried. But you're very welcome glad it was helpful.
I think when you put the washers in, try to put it on the top side only(or even double washers on top) that way it would theoretically put more pressure down. Also try to cut the cooling pads better so they are not stacked causing protrusions. Beside all that, your fans looks a bit dirty still, did you blow everything outta there?😂
I just did a video today that I'm uploading right now. Where I completely got rid of the springs and just used washers, got rid of some LM (think I used too much the first time around).
Was thinking maybe the thermal pads are just too tall and are possibly making my mounting pressure worse. Was thinking about going back to thermal paste possibly.
The fans look bad but the small dust is not going to hurt anything just looks kinda trashy. It was much worse before I basically didn't clean it on purpose for a month to make a cleaning video on how to clean fans. They're now all dusty again.
Someone else in another video told me "what I was doing was pointless" and "using LM is what idiots do as the cooling system is the bottleneck" "it does not matter what I do I'll never have good temps it's a laptop get a desktop and stop being poor". Obviously he wasn't the nicest about it but figured he might have a point regardless.
@@XxViciousxX did you remove the washers on the bottom at least?
@@yuanye1988101 Those were just some weird retention clips to keep the screws attached I got rid of them as I can just screw 3 screws in to hold the vapor chamber down right in place and let gravity hold the important screws in while I tighten them in a cross pattern.
@@XxViciousxX if it still doesn’t work, try this ruclips.net/video/SUCBbKPeNDE/видео.html
@@yuanye1988101 I actually have that on a list of things to try a few others have suggested that. Going to try another guy's suggestion as well. So definitely not giving up.
you have to under clock your cpu and find a way to make it less clock speed and same for GHz less power to your cpu and gpu makes it less hot
Yep I still have some tinkering to do.
Not disconnecting the battery on the laptop can be a big mistake if someone accidently shorts some components.
Oh, that's why I tell people to disconnect it if you want to be careful. I broke a battery connector when I was like 13 or something. So ever since I don't disconnect the battery. So far I have never fried anything yet. But I'm always careful and don't poke around with conductive materials. If I want to get rid of some thermal compound for example I'll use a toothpick or a cotton swab vs poking it with a metal screwdriver for example. But you have to be super careful with the screws if one drops and touches the wrong stuff it will at least spark and do no damage at worst it will fry whatever it bridged the gap with.
Hey man sorry to see this. But let me point put that thermal pads might be a bad decision since they would make kit hard for the heatsink to put pressure on cpu gpu, also if possible try. M 2.5 washer because one guy did the m2 washer and it was a disappoint but then he did the m2.5 and just normal thermal paste it was a success. Which indicates m2.5 and liquid metal could doo even more.
Thermal pads take up space and make it hard to put pressure on die*
You just need more mounting pressure
Lets give it a shot
Will definitely try again sometime soon I do have all those other washes I could try I could even put two on each screw if it was necessary. Might just take the pads back off and use regular thermal grizzly for the RAM and MOSFETs and chokes and try to mess with LM a little again.
@@XxViciousxX liquid metal is of no use if there is no mounting pressure sadly. But i have seen the Honeywells thermal pad the phase change one its awesome. Lenovo used it already. I think I'll be using that when making a video and share the results with you. And congrats people had great reaction on this video i am so happy for you. Sorry i couldn't make the thumbnail. Will try today had exams going on
Hey, i really have a doubt regaridng Liquid metal. I will be buying rog G15, and mostly will be carrying it in my backpack. Will there be any issues as I've seen people say it's best if its in stationary? Do help me clarify this :)
I took mine all over the place and I never had any issues with it frying anything though I never really had the best temps to begin with either. Since I always max the power out on mine I'm always sitting at 96° on the CPU and 86 on the GPU. Sometimes I even get hotter than that nowadays but it's still cruising along just fine I ended up putting PTM on it.
After failing to get better temps trying to redo the liquid metal but still I haven't gotten back to my original temps I'm still a couple degrees over but I wanted to see if I could improve them and apparently I couldn't but other people have had good luck so I'm still glad I made that video.
But I don't think you'll have any issues using it as an actual laptop and moving it around.
@@XxViciousxX oh man thanks a ton for clearing my doubts bro. Well you just made me decide to go for it without thinking twice now. Thanks Again!!!! ♥️
@@nevinjames357 You're very welcome Glad I was of help.
Tks for the video; metal liquid Is a trouble;
You're very welcome. It's not the easiest to work with. But it does have the best thermal conductivity (so long as you apply it properly). Definitely kinda scary too because if it got anywhere it wasn't supposed to be and I didn't notice It could have easily fried my laptop.
@@XxViciousxX maybe u can test with paste, aprecciate ur videos a lot
@@ChrisREDb86 I would but the guy who made the reddit post tried all the best pastes and went back to LM. I do intend to try one of those thermal pads I saw on Linus tech tips. It starts out solid and becomes liquid figured that might help with the mounting pressure as well. Plus it was basically competitive vs LM so it seemed interesting.
good video, but you need to clean the bottom cover before closing it
Thank you very much. I think what happened is since I was making the video just forgot to do some stuff I wanted to do that was one of the things.
oh how interesting, one of the reasons I didnt' buy this model was because I thought maintnance ona vapor chamber cooling would be impossible
It's not super easy but I was able to get in there.
Saw this on reddit but was to chicken to try it out.
It's definitely butt clenching at times but once you get the vapor chamber off it's pretty easy.
What program do you use to show fps and temperature when you are gaming ?
MSI Afterburner is the program I use.
Msi afterburner doesn't show anything on mine Asus strix g15 Avantage edition, no fps or temperature it doesn't have the option to show that I don't know why

No, you did not I tell people they can disconnect it if they want to be 100% safe but then tell the story of how I broke a battery connector as a teen so I just don't bother and am very careful not to drop anything conductive.

It can take a while to post afterwords like 20-30 seconds (even longer if you disconnect the battery)
Please clean the fans too.after cleaning my fans i get 2-3degree less temp
I did a dust video a little while before this one, so you see just a little bit of surface dust here. it sure looks bad but I got rid of all the dust blocking the heatsinks and the bunches of dust in the middle of the fans where it looked like air couldn't even get through. But when I did that and I did get about that much of a temp decrease
Ролик стоит смотреть просто изза его комментариев! Ну и контент полезный конечно же.
Lol glad you enjoyed the video.
Let me tell you where you made the mistake. You did not clean the fans and the inside grill of the heat sync. You had to clean the fans and then clean the inner portion of the heat sync, so keep this in mind whenever the next time you're opening your laptop :)
Yes, I should have gotten the fans a little cleaner but I got the bulk of the stuff out of them and actually did get the stuff out of the heatsink grills. Unfortunately, it broke (though it was something I did not it overheating or anything like that). But I have not given up on it i'll try to fix the thing and if I can't I'll try to get someone who can fix it.
got the same laptop, the same temps....but what i dont get similarly to yall is the SAME WATTAGE, why doesnt my laptop go above 110-120 watts on the gpu, and my riva tuner glitches out and shows the cpu usage as 3-4%.....the laptop was advertised to have a total 190 sPPT i barely hit a 150 ( PLEASE HELP ! )
Could it be a driver issue or possibly an Armory Crate issue. I first said driver issue because with these newest drivers my GPU does not hit anywhere close to its normal megahertz anymore.
I used to get like 2200-2400mhz now I struggle to hit 2100mhz. But I'm still hitting my normal wattage at least.
@@XxViciousxX so i tried rolling back and updating to the latest, and im hitting 2100 mhz ish but at a combined wattage of 150-155 (turbo) however manual sometimes, hits 170 (STILL NOT THE ADVERTISED 190W),
i have reason to believe, all of this is being caused due to the thermal limitations of this laptop, currently giving it back to ASUS for some ADP damage and repasting.
EDT: currently trying to work on a side project, planning to 3D print a custom bottom panel with PETG (+++Airflow), just having issues designing it.
How could you achieve that score 😢
The best score I just got on Time Spy is 9000, and on Fire Strike, it is 21000. How can I reach the top? Please help me, as I have done everything I know. I would really appreciate it.”
I did not do anything to special. I think I just got some good silicon.
just repasted my LM without putting on any thermal pads and i got 11k9 graphic score on Time spy with the GT500 aid compared to 11k5 before with manual on and no GT500 :P pretty good i think
and with the cooler even in Timespy CPU test the temp didn't exceed 80 C while GPU temp stayed at 6x. Maybe the thermal pads you use really did decrease the pressure mount on your die
@@HelliotK those are the correct millimeters of pads though That's what everyone else uses I didn't really feel like trying to find out if my thermal paste worked as well as whatever they used on the memory and MOSFETs. I actually can't use my cooling pad now it instantly causes thermal throttling now. But if I don't use it temps are about the same as before. Besides an increase of 2° on GPU.
@@XxViciousxX from the video i think the amount of LM is a bit too much, i have a professional friend did it for me and he used a very small amount to spread thinly on both the die and the heatsink surfaces. Maybe you can try reapply the paste for better result. Thank you for all your videos for this Asus laptop, really guided me to the Gt500. Cheers and good luck bro.
@@HelliotK Now that could be I even said in the video that I got more then I wanted. Should have sucked some back up into the tube. Will for sure try to do this again for sure though. Glad my videos helped you out as well.
I forgot to disconnect the battery. While i was cleaning the mother board off the silicon something sparkled a bit😢 i haven't put it back together yet, do you think is it still going to work?
It will probably be fine. Sparks don't mean for sure fried. But I think of it like hooking up jumper cables to a car battery and touching the leads together for a second. It will spark but it doesn't destroy the battery. Now if you leave the leads connected then the battery would fry. So as long as it wasn't something sitting there sparking for a long period you're probably fine. I should have told people to disconnect the battery too. I just don't because I broke a battery connector once when I was younger. Yet have never broken anything by leaving the battery connected so I just do that.
@XxViciousxX you actually did say but you didn't want to do it because in the past you managed to mess up connector or something, yeah well it sparkle for split second and i stopped and disconnected battery straight away just to be safe, i wasn't worried about the battery but the motherboard itself
It is a great Video by the way😉
@@BeerTime24 Thank you very much. Hopefully, all worked well when you put it all back together.
@XxViciousxX still waiting on thermal pads, arriving today, I'll let you know if it still works 😄
is it necessary to redo metal liquid every year?
No I just wanted to see if I could get some lower temps the LM was still completly liquid and not dried at all.
i had the same idea , but instead of reapplying liquid metal i went with thermal paste.
How did yours go?
@@XxViciousxX well , the temps are basically the same as b4 so no improvement there.
@@camehill4399 Well that's no fun. I had the idea to try this cuz I saw Reddit post of a guy that had very good temps by doing this. I'm thinking the cooler just can't handle it and possibly maybe his CPU just runs at lower voltage than ours does all CPUs are different after all.
@@XxViciousxX i have also undervolted my cpu , but it didnt change temeratures at all. I think that 5900HX just likes it hot
@@camehill4399 That's ironic that was my next step I'll still try it out though and make a video about it. Even it if doesn't help.
Disable turbo so the CPU doesn't boost over 3.3Ghz. Will drop temps dramatically
That is for sure I just don't want to lose performance at the same time normally I'm using a cooling pad that gets me pretty decent temps but I don't like using it during my videos cuz then people think the laptop gets better cooling than it actually does and then they wonder why there's is getting so hot and then I have to explain.
Still very sound advice and thank you very much for the advice I always appreciate advice.
@@XxViciousxX I had to use reg edit to make the option appear in the powerplan, but you probably already tried all that.
But yes you are right it does drop performance a bit especially in cpu heavy games or editing.
In gpu heavy games i like to disable boost so that cpu and gpu both dont go over 75/80c and then the gpu clocks higher too. So i end up getting more Fps with cpu boost off.
But in a game like cyberpunk i need boost on or else my gpu usage is low because of CPU bottleneck.
I don't use a cooling pad, I just have it on a laptop stand to slightly elevate the laptop so it has more room to breathe
Not sure if you have understood why are you having worse temps then before BUT here is your main issue!
You used freaking pads xD Not sure from where did you get idea to use 1mm and 0.5mm actual pads since you could have seen that Asus used thermal putty instead of pads! Your die to vapor chamber contact is terrible now but thx to LM and throttling your machine keeps pushing XD I have had same issue with Legion 5 Pro. In my case I was fine with really soft thermal pads but in Asus case you need thermal putty! something like K5 Pro or similar. If you have money to burn you could go with Honeywell PTM in pads or paste since they are great replacement but cost significantly more than K5 pro. Only then will you have actual good contact and pressure on you CPU/GPU dies and good dissipation. Hope it helps and if not sure check my Legion 5 Pro and Alphacool Video.
Someone wanted to see how pads would work vs the paste so I decided to try it out. I got the pad measurements off an Asus message board where someone had tried the same thing. I recently went to Honeywell PTM with Thermal grizzly extreme for the VRAM, MOSFETS, and other things that had the putty on them ruclips.net/video/ZHpjX-nhdLA/видео.html. Got good temps on those items. I still can't get to the low temps a few others have gotten with washer mods and whatnot. But I went back to stock mounting pressure as I noticed the first time I tried the cheaper PTM (also a fan request) that adding washes puts so much pressure on the PTM that it smooshed it all out and leaves you with terrible temps.
@@XxViciousxX OK great :) yeah too much pressure will push it out. I would definitely stay with LM for CPU/GPU dies and use PTM or TG Extreme as pad replacement for VRMs and chokes! PTM can not compete with LM honestly :) Plus you have extra plate on CPU side that will make even more pressure and push out any paste pad overtime! Your GPU temps are just fine only CPU needs to come down a bit ;) LM for CPU PTM for GPU and I think you are good to go!
How many grams do I need to take to be enough for all of them?
That's a tough one I'd get like 10 grams and you will probably have a bunch extra but better than not having enough.
@@XxViciousxX Thank you
TBH, I would rather replace it with ptm 7950 since its comparable but more reliablie
I did try that later on but was throttling even with a cooing pad. So I settled on LM and a cooling pad and now my scores and performance are back to normal. However, I still have higher temps than when I got the laptop which is annoying. But it was my choice to mess with it so I have no one to blame but myself.
Ima be honest i mightve fucked up on something and now the fans wont stop spinning like crazy when plugged in.
it's not overheating? as the fans generally spin super fast like that when the temp is high. Although I guess somehow you could have messed up whatever controls the RPM on the fans but that seems unlikely.
@XxViciousxX as far as I know, I was checking the temperatures and nothing seems out of the ordinary when it comes to the Temps. I did notice the gpu fan was the only one that's spinning like crazy, so I don't know what's up with that
@@darnhead6701 That is odd for sure not sure what you could have done to make it only affect one fan. Electronocs can be so weird.
@XxViciousxX I just found out that it's my cpu fan, even then I've never heard it this loud even when I'm playing an intensive game
Hello, the notebook must have a fault, I understand that there is a lot of this model that comes with faults, I don't know how many programs it has in the background, I have optimized the notebook, msconfig with startup and services... game with external screen output type -c
In turbo mode in forza horizon 4 in 4K UHD (3840×2160) it gives me a CPU between 79 to 84*C ( rizer 9 5900) and a GPU 59 to 62*C (RX 6800M)
In turbo mode in forza horizon 4 in 2K QHD (2560×1440) it gives me CPU 75*C + -, and GPU 55*C
Another thing if I change power options to BALANCED, the CPU temperature drops more, being at 64 to 68*C, and the GPU is similar.
I keep it balanced so I don't raise the CPU temperature so much, for me it's a force 8 machine, for everything it has installed and everything ran in turbo mode with hours of play I think it may be that it overheated the CPU AND GPU, or whatever I said at the beginning factory fault
Those are some interesting findings. I wish I could get a little less temp while maintaining all my performance.
anyone running the oloy ram
Should have cleaned those fans and heatsink fins , no point in putting liquid metal if heat does not leave the system
That was just surface dust i had already did a cleaning video a week or two before making this video. So no dust was blocking anything. I used an electronic duster and a vacuum in combination. Basically blows dust from one side of the vent right into the vacuum.
@@XxViciousxX 😅
Plug off the battery first!🙏🏻
I tell people that they can do that if they want to feel more comfortable. But I have honestly broken a battery cable taking it off when I was younger yet I have never broken anything or had anything bad happen from not disconnecting the battery. About the only time I would want to do that is if I was going to be taking the CPU or GPU out which is impossible in this particular laptop.
IDK man if it was me i would just not use liquid metal on a second run lol
I wanted to try to get optimal performance. But yeah LM is fine for stationary things but a laptop that moves around is just asking for trouble. After trying everything I decided to go with just Thermal Grizzly Extreme on everything and still get the same temps as everything else I have tried. The laptop still had the best temps from the factory at least in my case.
hi man, you can optimize your cpu and gpu for better temperature and performance. Now i have 11 823 points in time spy). Corecycler and MorePowerTool will help you
I'd like to give that a try. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@XxViciousxX ruclips.net/video/SUCBbKPeNDE/видео.html
@@lotos2512 Thank you will go check that out.
really nice video!! :) it would be interesting too:
1-Check the exact speed at which the fans are turning. *If anyone has a new strix, please post here the maximum speed achieved*. I suppose over time, even after being cleaned... they can lose effectiveness. This bit of speed reduction can be quite relevant.
2-I saw that you have 2 ssd's and two kingston ram's (are these ram's overclocked?). Maybe removing 1 ssd temporarily disabling memory overclocking might help a bit.
3-As others have said, the thermal pads may have reduced the pressure on the processor and the gpu. I would replace it with a good quality terminal paste.
4-In addition, there is the temperature of the room. If your room is at 21 degrees Celcius, using a stress test in manual mode (all fans maxed out), you should get 96 degrees on the CPU (okay). And on the GPU, up to 88 degrees is ok.
Thank you very much. So far the CPU fan can get up to 7200 and the GPU gets up to 6800rpm on manual during high load.
both m.2s actually stay very chilly considering they are in a laptop I don't think have seen either one get over 55c (plus only one is ever being used heavily at a time)
I have changed the pads to some thermal grizzly extreme paste which did lower memory temps though got no improvement in CPU and GPU temps. I think mine just needs more volts than the other 5900HX CPUS. I saw a bunch of people getting under 90c after doing this. So figured id give it a try but have tried three times and still same old temps. Though it could be as simple as they are in a cooler room than I am and that's how they get better temps. Ram is not overclockable in the general sense no XMP (or whatever AMD's version is called) is allowed either. Though I know it can be overclocked in more unconventional methods as some people in my discord have done.
I still plan to try messing with mounting pressure a little more but I think it just can't handle any more heat output with the cooling system it has. But it's not throttling or anything so I should not let the high temps get to me it has been running at those for over a year. Plus this thing gets put through lots more stress than it would receive during a regular user's normal wear and tear. Since I'm always making videos with it or editing videos with it it never gets shut off either just a restart here and there.
Thank you very much for the advice though always apricate when people take the time to help.
Don't forget to clean all cooling system (fans too, not only repaste and pads are done) before complaining about temperatures. Because all renewed components won't work properly if the air intake and flow is limited by dust, dirt and/or "tired" fans.
I actually just did a cleaning video before I made this one. All the vets are free of blockage all you're seeing a light surface dust. Which I said in the cleaning video is very hard to get rid of completely. I don't have the patience to get it clean as new. But none of the dust should be affecting temps as it's just a light surface just no blockage of any kind. The pads were what was ruining the mounting pressure this time. Best go go with thermal putty vs. pads. After doing that I got slightly better temps not as good as stock though or anywhere near as good as the guys from Reddit were getting. Thats why I figured my CPU just needs more volts or something compared to some of these other people which is why mine gets much hotter.
Bro ur cpu is choosing 175+watts from wall wtf it's not possible for a laptop cpu to get those higher limits of wattage and still it's staying around 95-96 it's really good thing bro
Lol, that's just a glitch for some reason the CPU lists total system power the whole system is using 175 w not just the CPU. The only CPUs I have seen take that much power are those workstation CPUs and 12 and 13th-generation Intel chips. The CPU will throttle performance at 100c and turn off at 105c so even though its high temps it's still within spec.
Just Use ryzen controller, Put Temperature Limit 88 degree. don't check any more boxes.Thats all .
I have tried then it does definitely work and do the trick for keeping temps under control but it also limits performance Now in most games it doesn't make a very perceivable difference but in games like war zone I was losing like 15 to 20 FPS and my averages dropped quite a bit because of it and since that's what I mainly got this thing to do I kind of let it just have the most performance it can have.
I normally have a really really good cooling pad to help me get those temps under control.
I have since then taken off the liquid metal and put some Honeywell phase change pads on it. So now I'm about back to what I was getting stock.
did smth happen with it?
Nope just wanted to try to get better temps.
Always and I mean always disconnect the battery, on these laptops you have to pull the metal tab up then raise the connector. Not doing it and even unscrewing stuff, if a screw lands on the WRONG CAP, or your hand are unsteady and you touch something with your screwdriver you could potentially kiss your laptop good bye.
Oh, I always tell people if they want to be 100% safe do that. But I had the opposite issue as a kid of 13 or so I broke a battery connector off the motherboard trying to disconnect it. Ever since I just don't do it so far never had an issue but then I'm very careful.
I love the comment about a so fking expensive gear with a dollar thermal pad lol, accurate AF I get tired of Asus bullshiiit with their laptops, I'm a laptop guy and in the last 3 years I pick up Zephyrus laptops and Strix latops pure garbage, ppl dont get bang of Asus stay away and get more reliable gear from other manufacturers.
