    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks! Ah, so there's like a little bit of plastic that sticks out so you can put your fingers in and pull the cover off, it doesn't actually prevent the laptop from sitting flat on a desk or anything like that so it must be thinner than the rubber feet that hold it up.

    Thank You! I wasn't expecting for you to review this unit. As others have mentioned you do a fine job at reviewing techs and I hope to see your channel grow as well. Also, how did you undervolt the CPU and GPU? I have the same laptop and was wondering how to do that in a while now. Thanks in advance!

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад

      Thanks! I use Intel XTU to undervolt the CPU, you can use MSI Afterburner for the GPU although I haven't personally found it to make as much of a difference compared to the CPU so far.

    • @TheSteratul
      @TheSteratul 5 лет назад

      Jarrod'sTech I see.. How much do I undervolt it though? I haven't found a guide to undervolt this specific laptop..

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад

      It will vary between each individual CPU, there's no strict number that is guaranteed to work. I usually start at -0.150v, run a stress test, then if there is instability (app crashes / weird problems / blue screen) I back it down -0.010v and try again, repeat until no issues.

    I've been using this laptop for 5 years with no issues, so I'm happy with it, but an important note on the keyboard is that it doesn't have a page-up page-down or an end key, only home. For some reason Asus didn't even provide them through the FN key. So I often use an external keyboard with it.

      Jarrod'sTech If possible, can you review the base model of the dell g3? I believe it is has an i5 8300H and a GTX1050 4GB... But If not the base model, I still would love to see it’s thermal limitations highlighted. I’ve seen reviews of it where it runs a little too hot...

    Hey jarred,i recently bought a dell 7577(1050ti with i7 7700hq).After some light gaming sessions i installed gpuz to know the temp limit of my gpu and it is set at 85.should i be concerned about the temp limit causing throttling issues in the future?i cant change the thermal paste as it will void my warranty.is there any way to bypass the temp limit of the gpu?

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад +1

      Not sure about bypassing the limit, I think usually that's configured in firmware so not sure about changing it. Personally I think 85c is fine, most of the laptops I've tested the GPU doesn't really rise too far above 70c anyway, generally the CPU is hotter and more of a concern. If you're actually being throttled though aside from repasting you could attempt to undervolt it, I've heard that can help lower GPU temperatures, personally I've never had any luck with it.

    • @JarrodsTech

      Probably not much you can do then without trying to repaste it. Either way no major issues running at 80c if there's not throttling taking place.

    Good review man! I just bought it one month ago (i5 7300 HQ and GTX 1060) works perfectly, but this week I've downloaded Black Ops 4 and when it's running the temperature goes to 85-91°C (only when the laptop is charging, when it's not and use the battery I get 60-65°C) It's that normal? I mean it's only with COD. When I use it on normal work or in other games like Fortnite it doesn't get that warm. I'm a little bit worried about that high temperatures :(

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад

      The battery will get warm while charging if it's not at 100%, and if it's already at 100% I would expect the components to run hotter as they would be able to perform better compared to battery only

      I don't have experience with any of those programs myself, so probably worth finding benchmarks / if the applications suggest any specific hardware, but most laptops have 8750H/1050Ti graphics these days and honestly those specs should cover off anything well. Most will be similar in size and weight to the G5 unless you pay more to go thinner like an MSI GS65/Aero 15x for instance.

    • @JarrodsTech

      Depends on the game, generally 16gb is recommended for many modern games, some like BF5 for instance will result in stuttering with 8gb or less, but for the most part you'll see a larger performance difference going from single channel memory to larger memory compared to larger sizes.

    Hey! Thanks for your video! I'm moving to Vietnam in a month and I need to find a laptop that can play dota 2 and also video edit! This laptop seems good for Dota, what about video editing? Would you recommend anything else? My budget is around £1000.00 :) Thank you

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  5 лет назад

      Based on the specs it should be pretty good for video editing, the 7700HQ is alright, but if you can find the i5-8300H it's about 10% better. The extra 2 cores in the i7-8750H may also be useful for video editing too, or at least the exporting phase.

    I have the 1060 3bg and 120hz version. It is godly that i got this for £610 new. This run much faster than my old alienware 15 and faster than my friends 1k laptop. There is some throttling when playing assasins creed odessy hitting 91'c for less than a second then drops bsck to 82'c. When on my most played game csgo it running average 230fps and temps at 66'c.
    I really cant tell if this laptop is water rrsistance damage because i spilled some coke zero on the keyboard and a day after of leaving it on my table nothing change expect for very small splash noise in some keys on the keyboard. The temps, performance stayed the same

      Not really sure what sort of applications you'd be using, but maybe you can find benchmarks of how well it runs on this hardware to get an idea of what to expect? Haven't used the Acer Nitro (may have one coming to me soon though) or any HP laptops yet so can't really comment myself. In terms of specs though this is pretty decent for CPU, but not excellent for GPU, though that may be fine for your applications and how much they benefit from GPU acceleration.

      Hmm, it could be partitioned in a way where it just needs to be expanded, or they may have made a mistake and installed a small drive. In task manager you should be able to see the model of drive, look that up and see what size it should be (task manager > performance tab > disk > model name should be there).

      I really want to review their stuff, I've been reaching out to them for months with different methods, unfortunately no luck so far as no one has gotten back to me regarding borrowing a review unit, I'll keep trying but for now I just have no way of getting a laptop from them.

      You can listen for yourself at 8:04, pretty average compared to other laptops.

      I have a video on the fx504 on the channel, very similar but with 8th gen CPUs which are more power hungry, and as a result there is a large power limit in place which prevents full performance in multicore load resulting in various problems, I've outlined them in that review if you're after more information: ruclips.net/video/11BFyWZGDq4/видео.html

      I'd go for the FX505, it's newer, nicer design in my opinion.
