ASUS FX504 Review - Don't Buy This Gaming Laptop!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2018
- ASUS TUF Gaming FX504 / FX80GE review after 3 weeks use. It severely underperforms with a forced 25W TDP and 2.2Ghz turbo limit when it power limits/throttles around 70 degrees C. One to avoid! Buy another model with proper cooling, the Core i7 8750H is one hot CPU!

Why are you so into the screen and HDMI port but don't care about anything else?
Thanks for the honest review. By the way do you have any recommended other models/brands for people eyeing this laptop?
This is a good, unbiased review! I suspected the specs-to-pricing too good to be true - so they skimped on the HSF cooling, and the limited IO ports are just sad... I went with the Acer AN515-52-78AS instead.
I just came here to watch the review before buying it. But still goin to buy it.. hehe
Best choice !
@Amy Santti My FX504 model has
i7 8750H, gtx 1060 , 120 HZ and intel wifi version
cons:
- I cant install more nvme SSD(has one 1 nvme slot with 1 sata)
- less I/O ports
- Loud because of very poor thermal performances(I keep mine at "overboost" all the time)
- sometimes body gets oily and looks kinda ugly due to random smudges
pros:
-one of the best trackpad in the market
-a really good screen, mine is (120Hz variant)
-nice keyboard travel (but not the best feel/softer and satisfying like other ROG products)
- can immediately turn down fun noise using fn+ F5 (in a couple of seconds you can go from "overboost" to "silent")
- cannot really feel the crazy temps while gaming(using laptop's Keyboards)
- REALLY GOOD SOUND CARD , I CAN USE DTS HEADPHONES Equalizer + REALTEK AUDIO Equalizer TOGETHER => MIND BLOWN FROM THE BASS AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE
:)
Very Important NOTE:
Please, buy laptop according to your region.
I live in India, and here we have very limited models with 120 Hz and gtx 1060 around 1300-1500USD rest are above 1800or 2000USD. (my laptop cost: USD1,377)
@Amy Santti do you think that actually is someone who watched it till the end ? :))
same.
I bought it after i read that the latest bios fixed the issue. I added more ram and a hard drive and it runs great. No issues
Saw this laptop on sale for $73o and was thinking about picking it up and doing some upgrades. I feel like the complaints about the SSD, WiFi, and battery are non-issues. Those pieces can be upgraded or for energy you can simply plug into an outlet. Not having high end 4K support with higher Refresh isn't a big deal either, it's not a common thing in computing and 1080p is still holding strong as the standard. But it does seem like the overheating and cooling is a major issue with this model. Also personally I do not mind a loud fan, especially if I have a headset plugged in I probably wouldn't hear it even if the fan is blowing hard on max. But throttling is a big "no-no", and consumers / end users should not be expected to play around with voltages / undervolt their hardware. Thanks for checking it out and doing some investigative work. I appreciate your honest review.
Your honesty is always appreciated.
This laptop is great bought before 6 months and it's amazing.
This video is misleading.
Firas Tahhawi thanks for saying this I was worried I’d be fucked over
Add a cooling with the laptop problem solved.
Is this laptop good for fortnite
@@orvy4553 yepp dude
Education cum Entertainment I heard it’s slow so I’m not getting it
It's a gaming laptop not a helium-cooled super computer.. of course it's gonna make a lot of noise!
What’s a helium cooled computer
He should have got himself a 4 fan powerful cooling pad that would reduce some of the pressure from the internal cooling fan
@@namanaggarwal8009 There are many methods how to reduce that.. But yeah, I myself have a cooling pad and it works great.
yeah, this guy is nuts !!
For its price
This video should be titled "get this reasonable gaming laptop, it packs quite some power for the price and it's TUF indeed".
Thanks chris for the unbiased review , I wonder why you don't review/benchmark graphics cards , these laptops have a limited appeal but graphics cards are very hot now , u must have seen geforce 's latest rtx series .....
The issue is the price of them just too costly to buy and review, but I did review one: ruclips.net/video/mRQoeGPApc0/видео.html
Thanks appreciate the technical review, as well as, giving us some insight on why some laptops getting burning hot where you rest your palm lol. :)
Good presentation! Do you have an October 2018 list of recommended gaming laptops? Pls and ty.
Should I get this gaming laptop?? I’m thinking of getting it for Christmas, but I don’t wanna choose the wrong laptop so yeah, I need suggestions for laptops, under $1000
You're the only reviewer I trust, thanks a bunch!
Mario A you trust this guy? Wow.
I bought one of these that has the i5 8300 H, 8 gb ram, and a gtx 1050 with 2 gigs vram. Has a 1 tb hdd, and i love everything about it. It's the perfect gaming laptop for a beginner. I have no cooling issues when using overboost mode, and I am not bothered at all with the sound it makes. Although there may be a better laptop for around the same price, I got it for $300 off ($800 cdn). My only issues are there is no usbc port (minor), no displayport (minor), and no disk drive (very minor). Very good for the price I got it at!
Thanks for your advice 💖💕
I'm gonna wait for your FX505 review :)
It has two cooling pipes so ASUS hasn't learnt a thing. I'm reviewing the GL63 next from MSI
I first bought it, then I watched the video... lol im dumb af
same...
Same bro
Just ordered it
Same man
Lmao same I've had it for a couple of months
I have the 1060 version of this, and it randomly deadlocks while playing games like Destiny 2. There are no correlation between the deadlocks and not a single solution has worked.
Same with me but GTA 5.
Hard freezes the computer during gameplay and i have to hold the power button to force shut down.
Completely frustrating
Mhmm watching this on the exact same laptop he is talking about
same lol
same
Same lol best laptop tho
@@bugs5200 nah mine throttles like a bitch
SAME.
This laptop took 2:51 for 1min 4k youtube render while 7700hq took 3:09 and 7300hq 3:51 so currently 8750H > 7700HQ > 7300HQ > 8550u/8250u correct me if i am wrong. I also want to know that is 8300H is worth upgrading from 7300HQ for gaming. And also was the 8750H undervolted while 4k 1 min encoding?
It wasn't much faster than the 7300HQ that got around 3:00 on the Legion R720 I reviewed, but Adobe now uses hardware acceleration. So I had to test software only. If it's hard all CPU's are now about 2-3x faster at encoding. That time was without an undervolt but I thnink on other systems with better cooling it will be even lower. I don't think going to 8300H is worth it for gaming. 8300H is basiclly like a 7700HQ. But for video editing and other more taxing work it's then worth it. For my 4k video edits which can be up to 60 clips the up to 8750H is noticable, but not in gaming.
Thanks, you work very hard to obtain these stats for us.
I was asking these questions because i purchased acer helios 300 with 7300hq and after 2 month model with 8300H launched , so my mind was thinking a lot about performance difference. Also there was no one comparing 8250u/8550u with 7300hq. Again thanks
8300H = 7700hq in terms of cores and threads but 8300H performs a little bit better because of clock speed differences and more cache memory. For a layman, they are exactly the same
@@sahasarya4408 Nope, not even close. The 8300h is miles ahead of the 7700hq in a properly-cooled laptop. Extra 0.5ghz turbo all core and extra 2mb cache is a huge boost.

You literally just copied these timestamps from the description
@@Elias-xk5ek i can't copy it. I just write those timestamps from description in a paper and type in the comment box.
@@vishnuvrokzz833 ok
Thank you
Thanks for the video, I had my eye on this model until I saw your video. Do you think the i5-8300H paired with a 1060 6gb will have the same overheating problem?
The heating problem is really scary but there are not many other computers below 1k with a 1060 6gb and last gen cpu avaliable :\
The model also comes with a HDMI 2.0 and Intel 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless, wich corrects 2 of the negative points.
Also mainly for gaming and light work (office) do you think the stretch of 100$+ is worth from an i5-8300H to i7-8750H?
Once again, thanks for the eye opener!
You might be okay I think on the 8300H model, it's a cooler chip. But then again 1060 is hotter too. The stretch from 8300H to 8750H isn't worth it for gaming and light work, but for heavy work such as video editing, 3D design etc it is.
I bought this laptop two weeks ago and now I'm trying to return it. Hope they take it back.
Asus needs to work on quality control. The sooner the better. In their budget segments, QC is what brings them down.
Then what do you suggest instead of this fx 504 for that budgest to get max gaming performance with low noise and heat
something from lenovo
I have this exact model, it's doing me wonders quite honestly. Keyboard is amazing, although I'd suggest looking at their 505 or 705 instead
waiting for this one, i hope she will come tomorrow :)
So how did you like it?
After undervolting, the temperatures was around 75-80°c while playing farcry 5 at high settings, I'm quite satisfied with this , and noisy fans are not really a problem when you play games cuz you add headphones, about sound , use the dts app which is pre installed in the laptop, it makes it louder enough that you can play games without headphones and they cover up FAN NOISE
i just buy this thing today, the 3.5 mm headphone jack are not capable to output bass, you need USB headphone if you want bass
Add 20 more celcius and u can boil water
I have the same pc but I don’t dare run far cry 5 on highest settings
I have the 705GM (next version), it definetly have a better cooling but I still had to use liquid metal to avoid thermal throttling.
Hello bro gr8 vid but can u do a review on the fx503 too
Excellent review Bro ! Keep it up!!!!!
Thank you for posting this video.
I'm glad that I'm no the only one pointing this issue on the RUclips community. Now I have more backup when people don't want to believe the fact that this is underperforming like crazy.
You're not crazy, it limits itself to 25W TDP instead of 45W capping it to 2.2Ghz on all cores only, instead of 3.6ghz. But if you cycles the fan modes it will jump back to 45W for a few minutes. Yes, we aren't getting the performance we paid for, but I see some owners in here calling me a hater because they don't want to hear it!......... Thanks for the comment. Also, by the way, do you lose battery life when off and not in use? I lost all the battey over the weekend when it was unplugged and off. never seen that!
@@Techtablets
I've been having this discussion with at least a dozen of people, owners and potential buyers alike, and some refuse to believe. So long there are a few get it is worthy, but, now I understand why ASUS went this way, because they knew they will have an audience no matter what, those who couldn't care less if they get the performance they payed for. I wouldn't doubt ASUS will keep doing this, what worries me is if this becomes common trend among manufacturers, let's hope it's not.
Regarding the battery, the most time my computer was off was about 10 hours, it was fully charged before turning it off. During that time it lost about 2%, but there was one time it lost 25% or more, couldn't determine what caused it and really didn't worry that much about it. Guess it is one more compromise this PC has.
@@AlainMichelReyesSotter The trouble is most games don't stress that CPU enough for people to even notice it's limited. I hope it's not becoming common place but it looks as if the new model the FX505 is exactly the same, ASUS force fan boost for good performance other wise it throttles on balanced mode. Shame really as my Strix i7 7700hq laptop was good which is why I bought this one.
+TechTablets.com
Right, and even with that bottle neck most games will go beyond the 60 FPS which makes it even harder to detect. Just saw the fx505 and I can’t believe they have changed/replaced/updated/sell alongside a new computer in less than 6 month but didn’t address the thermal limitation. Guess the only Asus models one can get are the ROG
that 25W limit won't go away, even with Throttlestop tinkering, and it just annoys me so much on why they would do this, when this laptop is perfectly capable of handling the load. Hell, my temps never go above 75 ddegrees at high performance with 3.8 ghz constant processor clocking, its just that the stuttering and framerate drops drive me crazy, because I paid for a laptop that can really hold its own with at least 2016-2017 games on high settings, or atleast its supposed to be on paper.
I have this notebook for a year, I upgraded the RAM and added an SSD and it works flawlessly.
i have this same laptop, can you pls help me which ram you used in it because i m confused between 2666mhz and 2400 mhz 8gb ram, does it supports 2666mhz ram?
what kind of m.2 did you put in it?
What about Asus TUF FX504GD ?
Is it any better or have the same issues as mention in this version?
Hello, Asus launched Asus TUF Gaming FX504GM with a Geforce GTX 1060 variant (rest same as your reviews). Is it worth getting?
Can u do a review on fx505 that coming soon? I really like its design but i not sure is the problem still exist in fx505
Fx505 has almost the same bad cooling design, but no more power limit throttling.
do review msi gl63
I have this computer and I really like it! You almost only talk about the screen and HDMI port but not the performance.
Great review thanks for that! What is your favourite gaming laptop at the same price?
The 25W power limit and lack of cooling were really disappointing, could have been so good! Pretty much same conclusion I came to 👍
Jarrod'sTech Doesn't turning on fan boost mode remove that power throttling ?
No, increasing the fan would only lower thermal throttling/temperatures, the power limit remained the same - at least in my own testing when I had it.
Great stuff
I think you are right fx504 has small heatsink. Im curious about did asus reduce overheating on fx505. Looks like fx505 has a better heatsink than fx504
Is this laptop good for photo and video editing using adobe apps?
Great review man. Keep up this work, we need these type of reviews.
Really waiting for your Poco phone f1 review and impressions, cheers mate,👍
It takes a quick scroll down his videos previous to this , just to find out that he is waiting for the phone still. I can't imagine how annoying it is when people can't read
So? What wrong did he say?
@@rylford stop being bitter mate😕
I'm just saying the info is there for a question that is asked repeatedly
He didnt ask a question, he just stated that he is waiting for the review, maybe he knows that he is waiting for the phone?
I'm planning to buy this laptop, with the i5-8300H, 1050ti, 120hz panel. Unfortunately only 4GB of ram and a 1TB hard-drive, so im planning to buy another 4GB stick and an ssd sometime in the future. Is it still worth it?
Is Asus Rog Strix Scar GL703 a good choice? If not...what would be the best gtx 1060 gaming laptop to get? Preferably at around 1300-1400 Euro?
The latest bios fixed the CPU throttling issue. You really should take this video down or leave it up because I got a great deal on it because of people who don't do research. I've had zero issues
Hey did you buy i5 or i7?how good is it for gaming?
@@venuvenu2719 i5. And i added another 8 gigs of ram and a 1tb hard drive. The i5 8300H benchmarks faster than the previous gen i7 7700hq. Its fast
I can run most triple A titles at medium settings at 50 plus fps. Ghost Recon Wildlands at 55 fps. Assassin's creed Oddessy at 50 fps. WOW at over 90 in direct x 12. All these are in 1080p. The 1050ti is pretty damn good. Battlefield 1 is running a constant 60 fps at medium settings and still looks good on the 15" screen. Don't let the haters fool you.
@@michaelmarshall3350 did you undervolt
Where i can get latest bios fix
Your internet speeds are off the friggin charts and you're complaining about them? WiFi cards and even Ethernet are not an issue anymore, the cards are always faster than available internet speeds.
I like your reviews but this always annoys me. Do you live inside a tower or something?
Most people will never be able to max their net cards.
FTP server transfers too, for example the 8265 gets like 430 mbps. This realtek card gets 180-190. Wouldn't that much mroe for ASUS to use teh 9000 series cards right like the MSI, Dell and HP laptops? Which would be waaaaay over that speed.
Fair enough.
Will a coolpad help improve cooling ?
For the battery always drains even when it's off bug: Make sure you disable "Fast boot" both from the bios and power options. You can tell if it worked by using the task manager after rebooting and going to the tab: "Performance", it will show you how long the computer has been on.
The laptop never really shuts down by default. It's set up that way for fastest boot possible.
I'm using this laptop for a month now, gtx1050 series without SSD, got it for 54k INR after all discounts, this is a very good laptop, just use a cooling pad, no hanging, no heating problem, best laptop in the range.
This is a budget gaming laptop.
Don't expect much at this price point. 🙂 Also cooling of TUF series is much better than Predator helios 300 series which is much more costlier than the TUF. 👍🏻😀
The Helios comes with 16GB ram M.2 and a 1060 to start with, that's worth an extra 200. LOL
@@robertkubrick3738 These kind of laptops like the ASUS TUF sells well in the SE Asia market because its priced relatively lower than the Helios 300 and the internal hard drives and rams costs a lot. Also to note that 200 dollars is like a 3 week worth of minimum wage workers, and a 2 week worth in a decent job.
@@sakamoto8354 strangely enough I am in the Philippines right now. I know what's available in Asia, I know they are overcharging for all of it. I brought two new laptops back, along with my business laptop from 2012 that's better than most new laptops available here. The problem is what the sellers charge for laptops in Asia, not the Helios 300 itself.
@@robertkubrick3738 True. The options are limited here in Asia.
same here... The laptop is really good for the price. i've been using this lap for the last two years.. its pretty cool!!
I always watching your review before buying. Thank you!
Aristo Nicholas he’s misleading you, it’s a great laptop.
Hi. Tell me please, which one is better to buy for 4k video editing, this one or Macbook Pro 15 2015 Max configuration? Note: the question is about performance, not about screens.
Been gaming with this for about 2 years now. I appreciate the thorough video, but I disagree... this is a fantastic performer, I just play on the highest fan mode, which I do not find to be extraordinarily loud for a gaming laptop. Now the hinges are another story... I have had to replace the factory hinges, but now no issues at 2 years going strong.
performance is fine but max fan speed is not good for long term because of poor quality bearings, I had to replace my fans after a year.
i had mine customized with nuts and bolts so it never broke again
Hi there mate, where'd you buy em? mine are shot
gamer: "my laptop fan is too loud!"
*goes home turns on giant gaming PC. beep beep ffffvmoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It is loud but , cmon i dont really care .
headphone on the everything is fine
Theyre not loud. Unless ur pc'a ancient
*Hi ! What is the price for this laptop in your country, please?* _(today, 2 jan 2019)_
In Romania we have the version with i5-8300H & no SSD (just 1tb HDD) for 715$. Should i buy it? I think the price is good. Thanks
I completely understand the limitation of this laptop and for the past 2 days I'm researching and watch all the videos of this laptop about Thermal Throttling and reads the other external links some YT reviewers mentioned in their reviews. My one and only question Is this Laptop capable to edit 4k videos with Adobe Premiere Pro? Also, I was going to use Adobe After Effects and Illustration for beginners stuff, nothing Advance or complicated though. After knowing all these shortcomings, Is this laptop can fulfill my requirements? Please let me know.
I have zero interest in Gaming and last game (mafia) I played maybe 12-13 years ago.
P.S - I'm going to use with the 32-inch external 4k monitor.
I used it with a 27" ASUS monitor (100% sRGB one) and its

1 second ago
It's fine, but when I have it 100% stock (No undervolt, balanced fan mode) on editing large 4k videos and exporting it will throttle to 2.2Ghz and 25W. Temps hit over 75 degress it throttlings to 25W. Cycling the booster fan mode on and off seems to reset the TDP again until it hits over 75 degrees C. I just got the MSI GL63-8RD and zero issues there. Very good 82 degrees C no throttling. But the space bar is a bit funny, has to be press right dead in the center. But aside from that very good over all. Much better than the FX504. My video on the MSI GL63-8RD will be released soon.
pls do a review of Asus TUF fx505 after it's release
Chris you are marvelous internet resource, and a braaaave man :) Your candor really sets you apart from the rabble.
What about the version with AMD specs is it better ?!
i was randomly searching about my laptop and that was the first video come up. a bit late after using it for years by now :'D
Savage! The last few Asus laptops I've owned had bad build quality, won't be buying from them anytime soon.
The build here at least is good, but not the rest of it. Really disappoint in ASUS, going for the MSI GL63 8750H with 5 copper heat pipes and will sell this rubbish on.
Well i own a fx503 i5 7th gen 1050 and 8 ram, looks almost the same and the only problem it has is over heating and bad, really bad battery live, gets so hot even the keyboard bends when typing
Is not as good as it used to be, mine LCD cover cap spoiled. According to the service center, i m not the only one having these issues, there few other having the same problem. Avoid this laptop if can.
asus laptops are known to heat up a lot but the GL702 I have bought on amazon warehouse deals is quite nice with a core i7 6700hq, 8gb ddr4, gtx 1060 6gb 128gb nvme ssd and 1tb hdd, gsync 75hz ect for 886 euros xD.
Hello sir, I got same i7 8750H 1060 6GB with 120HZ refresh 130% sRGB TN 0r 94% NTSC.
I got it for half of the price. Shall I keep it ?
I see thermal throttling but its not the issue for for me as I am not hardcore gamer.
Shall I go ahead and undervolt ?
Only issue I face is of battery which 2 Hrs only on normal usage.
Update everything, add ram for dual channel, Rog utilities and you're good to go. and if you play games, use the fan + a cooling under the laptop. And if you just have the HDD add an SSD nvme or Intel Optane. That costs a minimum of time and money and improve things.
Great review as always
They must have fixed it. Mine is the same aside from having 16 gigs of ram, and it has been a great laptop. No stuttering. It has run every AAA title I've thrown at it on maxed settings with no stuttering. I'm very happy with my purchase.
That's great to hear they fixed it!
@@Techtablets It's not impossible they fixed it thanks to your experienced shared here!

can you suggest any good laptop price in between $800 to $1000 for graphic and video editing.
I have this laptop, i5 8300h, 8GB RAM, GTX 1050 TI, SSD 128gb m2, HDD 1tb. In games does not exceed 72 degrees, so the cooling system works perfectly!
when gaming, does the fan noise bother u a bit? because tbh mine is working great, a bit warm when playing and fan noise also is a bit, i repeat just a bit loud

But after seeing this video, I am a bit sceptical.
Please let me know if FX504 will be suitable for Full HD video editing with Adobe Premiere or will it cause any problems.

Hey! so I bought this laptop as an offer in Black friday for 720 €. I saw this video after that... and I'm really worried about the fan noise which is a thing I care the most. I am in time to refund the laptop so would you recommend me to pick the MSI gl63 even if it is 800€ i5 instead? Do you have any suggestions?
many thanks
Hello, I want to develop games in unity and android , should I buy this? If no then please recommend the other one. Thanks.
I got this laptop and really love it, i use designing softwares for civil mining engineers and it works excellent. The one thing i find really annoying is that when you unplug, you go back to windows '95 cause it won't run a thing, i just use it always plugged in and no problems. Loved the keyboard, love the screen and the speed in general, it's the cheapest of the good laptops and can't really complain about a thing for the price. I ride my bike everyday with my laptop on my backback including books, a 4 pound U-lock and bike tools with no protection other than a t-shirt, if that isnt TUFF nothing is)
I have fx504GM and I don't regret :) 200 fps at cs go is enough for me ;)
I have the Fx504ge, and i dont regret too! It's great for me, no problem at all

144hz screen right?
120 hz screen , try out This Version with gtx 1060 :)
Your review is brilliant. But have a good look at your video again and check that price tag.I really cannot accept that title for this video🙂💗
Should I buy it for 3D simulations and renders? (Lumion, V-Ray, Corona...) please any advice from people who already tried
Of course you can, this processor handles it really good. Are the renders about one render or a movie sequence?
For high quality renderings with much samples you'll need to give it some time, but all in all it's great for its price.
Thanks ❤️
@@liliatabdji1106 no problem
The problem with asus is that they have a premium lineup and they try to sell it by making the rest of their line-up look less attractive!!!
Happens to their zenbook line as well, even in 2018 they are releasing a usd 1.2k ultrabook with no PD charging and no thunderbolt(other than the cpu and ram the only upgrade over the 2017 model is the ssd where they finally use nvme instead of sata iii).
For their vivobook lineup, they further handicap it by putting in a tiny battery.
Honestly i no longer recommends asus to anyone anymore, as far as value goes they are now one of the worst in the market
I owned a Strix i7 7700HQ + GXT 1060 in New Zealand and it was decent. I expect way more from this one, but seems the bottom level of gaming laptops from them is trash.
I own an Asus once , and it sucks. in less than 2 years, deadmeat and bad after sales service based on my experience. I hard to contact their support so much hassle.
Cant agree more. I love asus but they keep putting 3hour for web surfing battery even in the just released few weeks ago vivobook S530. I lost my faith
Asus is notorious for bad QC and QA, especially on their entry level lineups. I'm not surprised that they decided to cheat buyers by stuffing all those powerful specs into a laptop with a terrible cooling system and then throttle the laptop to the max.
I had Asus laptop once, and never looking back again.
For those who have the 8750h and 1060, I recommend the 308 bios fw and undervolting. I can get my laptop working at 3.3 GHz full load without thermal throttling. Do not update to bios 310 if you want to undervolt. Cinebench R20 score should be around 2500
Do you how can I downgrade the bios
@@floorfan just DL the old one then flash in boot menu
Hi... I am planning to buy a hp pavilion gaming laptop which has good specs... How well do u recommend that laptop?..
Think the alternative MSI GL63 8RC/8RD is a better choice? The prices are the exact same but, it seems to be a better buy.
Would like to hear from others, though.
Yes I have it now and it is really good. Video on it in a few days. The build is good, the keyboard is the only issue space bar not working unless pressed right in the middle. Thermals are great 82 degrees max, not throttling. Not 25W power limit like this ASUS FX504
I'm using this from last 1 year and its just amazing
No I have Gtx 1060 and i7 8750h version and it is giving me the best performance.No thermal Throttle.Only Sometime power limit throttle and temps are in control not going above 80 degree.note that i live in india a hot country.
Sathya P N if you have the 1060 variant then your gaming performance is going to be absolutely amazing
@Griffin 17 Update your bios and drivers. Turn on overboost mode and plug the power supply.If it is not helpful than undervolt your cpu and gpu little bit.Use Nvidia's optimal settings.
@Griffin 17 Check asus web because i have 1060 version so it is different.
@@rohitparmar2248 bro can u plz tell how much fps u r getting in different games(pubg,fortnite,csgo)at max and very low settings?? ....and also if there are any fps drops during gameplay??

You post too late man.....
Did yours have 1tb? I got one, great computer for the price but the C drive is only showing 273 GB. Checked partitions and everything.
So the same happens with Asus ROG?
I have Asus ROG GL503GE
With same configuration
I7 8th gen and gtx 1050 ti
So the same thermal throttling happens in my laptop also???
Am planning to buy this laptop should i buy this or should i go with msi laptop?
I want laptop for gaming and video editing.
I think Dell, HP, MSI and others might be better.
@@Techtablets Ok thank for reply
if u havnt done anything yet then get this it's a great computer than can run games like fortnite on 150+ fps
What a review.. A gamer will always use headphones. Don't worry about the fan noise. I never got annoyed 😂. The temperature at the right hand side of the key board is high, but left side is cool. A gamer knows which hand side of the keyboard is mostly used. Display is too bright sometimes, but there are so many third party softwares to adjust it. Many games run more than 60 fps. On holidays it can be played for long hours. What else do we need. It's a loving laptop.
I even like Fan noise lol
Wandering about the slot SSD, is it a M2-PCI or NVMe-M2. Want to buy a SSD. What SSDs fit in that slot?
NVME(protocol/rules on a road) uses PCIE(interface/the real road). NVME SSD are PCIe SSD
Have you tried swapping thermal paste and see if it makes a difference?
I changed my thermal paste on my laptop and got a 12c drop in temps .. it was running at 91c now it hits 79c
I've had this laptop for over a year, and yes, it is loud as f*** when you're playing videogames, but it is expected to be loud as the card is working on max power, I don't mind that since I'm using my headphones or headset while gaming, you can always set the fan mode on "silence" if you're using the laptop for other than gaming, besides that I have no issue with this laptop, for the price I paid for it, it has been a pretty decent product.
have you made any upgrades? ram perhaps? if so how is the performance? im curious bro im looking for a budget laptop lol
@@gone7969 Yes, I installed additional 8GB for a total of 16GB, I also replaced the M.2 disk that came with the laptop by a samsung 128GB NVMe for the SO and installed an additional 1TB Sata SSD.
I have this one and i love it
Same
What about the ASUS FX504GE-AH53? Doesn’t seem like the same one.
Just ordered mine can't wait to get it
