What are /r/ASUSROG's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Unlikely, i think... Maybe if you don't put back the side of the PC Case.

If you want to cool your SSD, you might need to buy an SSD cooler kit.

You can get a passive cooler like this, or an active cooler, like this (you can just connect this to a free fan header on your motherboard).

EDIT: before you buy, you absolutely NEED to check how much room you have between the SSD and the side of the case. Most of these coolers were designed to be on the front side of the motherboard, where there is quite some space.

That will never work.

You have to use display port over type-C for G-Sync.

Here is what I use on mine:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F17ZHJY/

The display also has to support G-Sync for it work.

https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-RX6900XT-High-Speed-Gen4%E2%94%83Universal-Compatible/dp/B08XN26DRZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=LINKUP+-+Ultra+PCIe+4.0+X16&qid=1625331779&s=electronics&sr=1-3

Been using that for a few months now without issue.

You could get a piece of copper and thermal pad on amazon. You can search for nvme heatsink laptop on amazon and they come up. They're about 10 dollars.

This could be another option if it can fit in the laptop: https://www.amazon.com/icepc-DIY-Graphene-Heatsink-Performance-70x20x4mm/dp/B083FK9FN9/ref=sr_1_5?crid=XOPV0Z4N9EOL&keywords=nvme+heatsink+laptop&qid=1661274063&sprefix=nvme+heatsink+laptop%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-5

first you talk about voltage, then you said 40W which is wattage

short answer no you can not control voltage, and on amd cpu it would be a very bad idea anyway

but as you saw you can control wattage, either by selection a performance profile or using manual

you can set lower wattage in manual, the wattage is only for CPU, as you can see it is not there in the GPU tab, just put 40W on both slider and your CPU shouldn't reach 95 anymore

if you want to know what wattage settings are used for the "named" mode, you can switch to the mode you want, then launch hwinfo https://www.hwinfo.com/

in the CPU specification tab it says the current power (wattage) limit, but it only loads once, so you have to leave the app, switch the profile then reload

by default manual is the same as turbo (I think), so you can just keep that fan curve and drop the sliders from 80W to 40W

if you want your gpu to work as in performance, you'll have to drop the sliders to 0 in the gpu tab

I was going to get this because my ROG will be 17".

I can't seem to find a nice big one to use while sitting in bed, that also has a vent. They have ones with super adjustable limbs, but I actually got one and had to send it back because it was actually incredibly hard to use. I'd prefer something I can fold the legs in and put up.

I got this RAM in single rank, but I'm going to return them and replace with dual rank since they're almost the same price, and should perform a bit better.

As for the reboot issue, I did a driver repair using the Radeon software and it hasn't happened since. I noticed that the reboots were coming after I unplugged the laptop immediately after gaming (so going from turbo to silent mode). I tried to duplicate the issue after driver repair, but so far it hasn't happened for several days.

Update: Just pre-ordered mine through amazon, the top-end 4k model. Amazon states it will not ship until Aug. 16th, which I am hoping is incorrect (which after hearing from my own source and seeing some replies from you guys on this post, I am thinking it may release this month. If we are lucky.)

There may be more than one way to recover from this.

1 - The housing that you screwed into, may be removable and unscrew itself. It's hard to tell from the photo's, but it's possible you're unlucky.

However it looks like the printed circuit board it's screwed into may be replaceable, depending on what else is on it, and you could possibly get a new part from ebay or similar. Or maybe even the manufacturer (though unlikely) of the laptop.

2 - If you can't get a grip on the screw, and it looks like you've mangled it some more, the only realistic method is using a kit like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08797CL1M and then going slow with it, but having a lot of turning power or torque behind it (I've literally had to use a drill before with the damaged screw extractor set to be able to do it slowly with enough power), while making sure you don't slip or damage anything else.

Not something for the faint of heart.

if I want to use headphone jack with the kunai controller case It's not available to use right?

if so i have to buy this to connect usb c charger with a 1 USB C to Aux Audio Jack 2 in 1

I have the same laptop and am trying to use the usb-c port for dual 2k displays at 60hz. I'm looking at this hub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYCHGQM but am afraid it will die after a few months based on the reivews. Does anyone have a suggestion for a reliable hub/cable/docking station that could go from the usb-c port on this laptop to dual 2k displays at 60hz?

Hello again. Really sorry u having these troubles. Heres link to the replacement wifi card u should get ordered asap (less expensive Prime shipping, first i found, many other sellers also) . Ill think and look on other solutions for Mediatek in the interim.

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-5400Mbps-Wireless-802-11AX-Windows10/dp/B0B39631G1/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=intel+ax210&qid=1668791040&sr=8-5

I guess a Double-Sided Heat Sink would work if you're worried about cooling the 4TB SSD which I assume has chips on the back too.

This is what i got for mine https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08FYVTVYC there is a little more clearance but no issues with them so far.

Regarding PTM 7950 seems okay, not as good as when i sorted the LM application out as still hits 96C when under heavy load but keeps clocks at 4.3-4.4 ghz so cant complain.

Good luck. The thing with cables is the version numbers don't matter - just that its a good quality cable. Also price doesn't mean anything (i.e. more expensive doesn't matter unless buying very long HDMI cables). So long as it is rated for 18gbps you will be good. If you find you get issues with the amazon get this https://www.amazon.com/8K-HDMI-Cable-Highwings-Braided/dp/B08M9HND4F/ heck get this one and the amazon basics and send one back after you have tested, these are like $8 :-)

I've tried using a plier but doesn't seem to help, any idea?

> Also, it is a mobile charger? First, you have to make sure, the chargers output voltage is 20v. Other than that could potebtially damage your device.

You bring up a great point.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NY8GN76?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

This is my charger, it says it's adjustable for up to 26V so 20 V should not be an issue.

It's a IPS 1920x480, that I use ONLY for the Sensors in my PC. I can have all the info for the CPU, GPU, WIFI and Memory.... (you can add much more, but those are the ones I use most). You need AIDA64 Extreme.

Here is what Crucial recommended and I went with.

I just bought a G17 - G713RM as per today. I tried a 3mm heatsink and it fits, but since the only thing holding the nvme, thermal pad, and heatsink together is rubber band,so I took it off. here’s the one I use

I built my B550-f this year and the motherboard has a 8 pin CPU plug that it wants and a 4 pin plug used for extra power for overclocking. All the EVGA power supply's I looked at have two 4 pin plugs and will not plug into the 8 pin socket on the board. Now I have only ever used EVGA white power supply's so I just got a molex to 8 pin CPU adapter and used the power supply's 4 pin plug on the 4 pin socket. I have been using EVGA white supply's for 30 years and have never had a problem with them. 650W is fine to use unless your getting a monster video card.

https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-EPS-12V-Adapter-Converter-Braided/dp/B074CSCCYF/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=381WZEE5TQT1Z&keywords=molex+to+8+pin+cpu&qid=1666340389&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjYxIiwicXNhIjoiMi40MCIsInFzcCI6IjIuNDQifQ%3D%3D&s=electronics&...

Regular gaming will not generate that much heat. Usually moving large files would generate more heat.

I also installed 4TB into my Strix Scar 17 and by default you do not need thermal pad on it.

But I happen to have some thermal pads leftover from another equipment (a NAS storage expansion card), it's something like this：https://www.amazon.com/Outus-Silicone-Reusable-Conductive-Conduction/dp/B094PWW9TM I applied them to my SSDs and close the cover, fortunately they fit. The difference is hard to notice, like 1-2C maybe...

its seems to be straight ... also hinges were first thing i checked ... they seem to be fine too.. and i dont think i have advantage addition. I bought it from abroad. here is the link https://www.amazon.ae/Strix-G513QM-HN027T-Eclipse-5800H-CPU-Backlit-Eng-Arb-KB/dp/B09298WDTH

I was looking at getting this don't know if va and no gsync just freesync bothers you.

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Non-Glare-Ready-165Hz-Curvature/dp/B09S432MXD/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=392KNKHF1M5CM&keywords=msi+165hz+1440p&qid=1663153592&sprefix=msi+165hz+1440p%2Caps%2C260&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-...

I asked a question about it and waiting to see if it posts?

If you’re looking to upgrade your ram I found dual rank ram finally with 8 chips on both sides. Multiple software said it’s dual rank and I’m no expert but it had 8 black squares on both sides so I’m assuming its x8 which would match the label and product description for 2Rx8 and the price went down a little after I ordered it

And I'm using this cable:

Hey did you ever figure out how to open it up, I have this version and I'm trying to figure out how to open it up to install more fans on the front and top of the pc.

The important part is that it supports USB PD with 20V. This usually means 60W or higher on a single port as that power level requires 20V by the USB PD spec.

The one you listed claims to output 60W on the PD port, so it should be able to charge your laptop.

Most power banks try to be allowed on airplanes, so they stay below 100Wh of power. The one you listed is rated to about 99.9Wh, so about the highest you will find (excluding a few that exceed that). In that case, you might be able to charge your laptop battery 1.5 times with that powerbank

Though, whether the powerbank holds it claims is something I cannot comment on. I just googled the manufacturer and they look like one of those random "no-name" brands.

​

Otherwise, Anker has this one (they're usually pretty good). Not sure what the price and availability is in your country:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B089K7VMLL Anker 737 Powerbank(PowerCore 26K for Laptop)

The one you listed,

would this kit be compatible with the crosshair viii hero?

OK. So information's trickling out of you here. The serial number staying the same in and of itself doesn't mean they didn't replace parts. As I said, a normal part of the process was making sure the system name and serial numbers matched up.

Now I've heard why you asked: the symptom remained the same. I'm thinking more disorganized, shorthanded repair shop than malice. It definitely wasn't repaired right. You could use the serial number as possible evidence.

I assume you don't want to do without it another 2 months. You could push for them to replace it. I don't know if they'll go for that.

As long as you don't cause damage, opening it won't void any remaining warranty. That's at least in the US. You could make sure the fans are running and spinning freely. You can remove existing thermal paste and replace with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. You could replace thermal pads.

https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Pad-Soft-Silicone-Coolers/dp/B07KPV58XL

https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-Grease-Paste/dp/B011F7W3LU

I use one of these and a custom cooling pad from a cheap cooler like you showed and some plywood. Moved the cooling fans closer together so they blow cool air directly on my heat pipes, one air cut outs for the fans to draw air in and the vacuum cooler on one side when I really need it. Overall, the biggest factor in cooling was making sure the laptop had 1-2 inches of open air for it to pull under neither it, that gave me like a 5-7temp drop, cooling fans give me 2-3 and the vacuum cooler did another 3 - 5, on average I can lower my temp under max load by 10-13 degrees.

So best bang for you buck is just a thick book or thick cooling pad in my experience.

You could try using [Polywatch] (https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Crystal-Scratch-Remover-Polish/dp/B00E3T237C/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=POLYWATCH&qid=1654885457&sr=8-1) . It worked for my VR lenses and glasses I recommend you give it a try. If it doesn't work rip

There's a picture in the reviews for this Laptop on Amazon that shows the rear exhaust. Looks quite beefy honestly.

Ok assuming that bios is limiting your options and you are normal iq'ed considering your answer ; here is another alternative idea to check whether it's a software or hardware issue : if you own an Android phone there is an app called drivedroid drivedroid which let's you use your phone as a bootable drive if you connect it to a USB port. Or if you can make the smallest bootable linux USB pen drive and check to see if your bios sees the drive, no need to boot but you can for seeing if your invisible nvme şsd is there and working.

If you want an update, it showed up on Amazon. I doubt it's actually sold out, I think they just added it today. So they probably didn't add their stock yet, I could be wrong though.

I use portable stand like this but it was made by Targus from years back.

It's small and portable, keeps laptops off the surface, and adjustable to suit size and port placement.

It's best to use fans to blow from above instead trying to blow them from below impeding airflow.

I'm using this cable which is rated for 32.4 Gbps.

First I've ever heard of the 10 Gbps limit on the USB-C port. Is the data compression the reason why sometimes games will be drop down to like 20fps after loading a new scene?

You'll need an adapter cable. I went through a lot of trouble getting my VR headset setup, and eventually found the right adapter to work with it all. Honestly though, that usb-c cable back there is really nice and is a nice port for another display, or a usb-c hub for your perhipherals.

Interesting. This is where I saw it listed, and I'm trying to find the review I saw that confirmed it's a pentile display. Or maybe I'm just extrapolating from other reviews.

This kit should actually run at cl20 and it was a noticable speed improvement in my Strix G533

Unless you really wants the 17in form factor I’d say look for a rtx 3060 around that price instead because they should preform better and receive support longer. It’s not a bad machine but it’s dated. Or you can look into the asus strix advantage https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098K399CW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_WGY719K2JXMZGBY27GC2 amd gpu and cpu but it performs close to a rtx 3080 laptop if I remember correctly.

Nooo you need to go with 3200 MHz !

Something like this :

Here is the 32GB version

I have purchased yesterday with 2 days shipping. I contacted CustomerService and informed me it takes 2 days shipping after dispatching, however till now my order has not dispatched yet.

Do you think this is a good deal?

I use this with the bottom cover off an angle it up, for $20 and just removing the back cover it works wonders https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07QH8HYL1/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_3BHCSXTWJ62VV51TJ35J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I also cut all the mesh from the top part so the laptop just sits on the frame of the stand, but it was totally unnecessary i just was compelled

This memory's been widely reported to be compatible. Make sure the sticks you're trying to use are at least as fast, match each other, have the same density memory (2Rx8), and match other specs:

Has anyone tried heatsinks on M.2 drives? Curious how much room there is for something like these:

I thought I posted the amazon link
I'll link it now

I guess you could use this https://winaero.com/change-display-refresh-rate-windows-10/#:~:text=Open%20a%20new%20command%20prompt,y%3D600%20f%3D75%20.

the create 2 scripts that you set in scheduler at logon (you can set AC and DC only)

so the one for DC would be set to 60 while the one for AC would be set to 300

I know it is not the best but it should work

You can get aftermarket kits with everything you need to install a 2.5" drive in a G531 (all variants). All you need to do is search for the laptop model with the search term "sata cable" or "adapter"

I don't know what region you're in but you can find them on amazon for your region I'll bet. Like this link here for the NA Amazon site

I bought this one following the advice of another user (unfortunately can't remember the post): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y246V8X

But I'm yet to test it out because I'm still waiting for the 17" AE to arrive.

Or these?

asus makes a version of gpu tweak for their computers, not sure if that works with ryzen don't see why it wouldn't, but it allows you to change power settings on the card.

https://www.asus.com/us/site/graphics-cards/gpu-tweak-ii/

Look at this amazing software that is super lightweight and very powerful. It's free. It might work with you hardware, and if it does, you can control fans smartly by creating custom fan curves based on temperature, or, you can set a target fan speed, and more. I rely on it and it has allowed me to abandon all ASUS/MSI/Gigabyte etc junk/bloatware garbage software like Armoury Crate, Afterburner, etc. on my machines. It can control CPU, case and GPU fans, and it might work well for your laptop.

GitHub - Rem0o/FanControl.Releases: This is the release repository for Fan Control, a highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows.

the lack of mux has almost no impact at low framerate

have you tested with more recent games, something like fortnite perhaps (since it is free or apex or any of the recent free fps)?

what about the cpu usage (per core, not global) during these games? (old games aren't well multi threaded and so limit could be on the cpu) taskmanger can show a split version or hardware monitor https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html can provide a view on that too

as it is well known that benchmarks don't use much the CPU allowing full power on the GPU

you're saying temps never exceed 85°C, you're talking about the CPU?

85-86°C is the thermal throttling point of the RTX 3070, so it will NEVER exceed that and instead will go lower power if the fans are already at the max speed allowed for the Profile

I considered buying this https://www.amazon.com/WD_BLACK-SN750-Internal-Gaming-Solid/dp/B099FNMV34?th=1 but does it fit the Laptop? PCIe 4.0 got answered, but will it fit in the laptop itself?

So without some cooling pad, these laptops always run hot. Get this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WVK2ZZ9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Brought my CPU temp from 95C when gaming to max 80C when gaming.

So I remembered to bring my new brick in and try it and seems to work fine. I used my iPad pro cable due to length but mine charge with no issues using the brick I linked below. I'd make sure the cable you use is the newest USB-C that can handle large data transfer just in case.

Ugreen 100W Power Brick

There are only two LEDs (one on each side) and those are working fine on your card. The problem is with the plastic tube that reflects the light from the LEDs down the length of the card. The card gets hot, starts to cook the plastic, turns it from clear to translucent, and it doesn't carry the light so well.

Can't find the vid i watched to replace the ones on my 5700xt, but they should all be similar: https://youtu.be/9dlRzbT4IJw

And here's the replacement i bought, but i can't promise its the same diameter for the 2080: 3.28ft PMMA Plastic Optic Fiber Side Glow Cable for LED Light Source (0.16in) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N64U5PT/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_Z02B9VWQ8GQ0ACW1Z3YK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

have the same laptop, upgraded the ram to max out the specs 40gb total.

im running this 32 dollar padd off amazonhas an opttion to turn off rgb or lights i run it at 6

and my laptop runs like butter!

for this laptop you neeed to consider how the vents blow the air to determine maxium heats dispation

for me this was was it
