Asus ROG GL503

not so much. Repasting improve temperature thanks to better conductivity so components have lower temps because the heat go better to the heatsink and fans but the heat that you perceive is about the same. Repasting is good for thermal components so you shouldn't have basically no throttling at all, especially on cpu.

 

new bios fr 703vm: 311.

"improved system stability"

Someone can try? i don't have pc because i'll be out of town for a couple of days...

 

no one has updated to 311?

 

A laptop should never actually be used on the lap. it will not get the proper air flow.

 

Its for spectre and meltdown - works great so far

no other changes like silent fan mode or manual mode for fans? temperatures, fps on games?

 

I repasted my cpu and gpu … so the temperatures are good.
I dont know how to enable Silent Mode or manual Mode for Fans, I used XTU to undervolt my cpu and my Asus Gaming Center doesnt work anymore.

 

ah what a shame... the fan mode is commanded by rog gaming center... till now we have "auto" and "overboost" fan mode... on the new gl703gm-gs there's a new mode called "silent" that force pc to lower voltage for cpu gpu and lower rotations of fans... i hoped that with bios 311 we had this mode but i just can't find no one that have this info...

fps on games are the same as the 306 bios, better or worse?

 

You should not update BIOS to 311. It just contains the Spectre patch, hurts performance and has nothing new in features. I tried for a while then reverted back to 306 using EZ flash. Very simple.

 

this is the answer i want... so...drop in performance as i expected... you misure it just for curiosity?

 

Can someone provide me with feedback regarding Gl503GE? What is the battery life and is it better then GL503 with 7th+1060?

 

From my side of things, It is about the same in terms of battery life. I am not seeing any noticeable improvements in this area.

 

Thanks for your reply! How many in case I'll use wi-fi and 80% of brightness?

 

I ve expierienced no Performance loss or fps Drops

Does anybody know the make and model of the GL503GE panel with specs FHD 120hz 3ms 130% sRGB?

 

Chi Mei N156HHE-GA1, TN panel, 100% sRGB

 

Thanks.

Hey guys, I recently bought GL503VS and I'm experiencing a short flicker on my screen when I connect and disconnect from a wifi network.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issue?

 

I discovered that connecting and disconnecting USB device causes this. (and in the wifi case, I had a USB modem connected to the device too)

 

I figured out that it's Windows' Calibration issue, every time a new device connects, it refreshes the devices and configurations and probably does some process and that causes the fast switch between the default display profile and the calibration profile. after disabling the calibration I can't see short flicker anymore

 

Glad to hear that the issue was fixed!

 

LOL guys... asus published on support page a new bios for 703vm, 309 dated 2018/06/14...but 309 is previous of 311...so why? i don't understand

 

Hey again

I have another question: Do you have any problems with the touchpad in GL503VS? Mine behaves laggy sometimes and I have to lift my finger from it and put my finger on it again in order to make it work

 

probably they forgot to post it and now they noticed )

 

Greetings, hello!

Please someone help me! I need the "C:\eSupport" folder ! Can someone upload for me please? I appreciate it very much Thank you! I need all softwares and files

 

Does anybody know where I can download drivers for GL703GE? Drivers available on website don't work, I need eSupport folder it seems.

 

useless... i look at my esupport folder on gl703vm and are basically old version of the same identical driver on the website...so you can download all updated drivers on support site... for aura core you have to download the app on microsoft store

 

this is not an ASUS issue, it's a Windows 10 issue. Hopefully some new updates come out soon to fix it, it's been happening with all different kinds of laptops recently.

 

Sorry for the double post on this one, but thought I would mention that you can snag the ASUS GL503VM-IH73 w/ GTX 1060 from Newegg for 1,049 USD, or 999 USD with a promo code. Sale ends next Monday. Sadly, we don't have any in stock here at XPC with a 1060. We either have 1050Ti or 1070.

Screaming deal - just purchased one. I just couldn't pass it up!

 

Found an open box GL503VM from Best Buy for $630 plus tax (no power adapter)...It is in fair condition with some scratches on top (screen looks good) and the Best Buy sticker said it was returned due to overheating. I am real wary but had to give it a shot at that price. Waiting on power adapter...Found a genuine Asus one used on Ebay for $30...Should be interesting...

 

How did you disable windows calibration? Im having the exact same issue with screen flickering everytime i use a usb port or disable/enable wifi/bluetooth

 

Hi,

I bought the GL503GE and it had coil whine so I returned it and the replacement had also coil whine so I returned it again and the THIRD one also had so I decided to keep it and fix the coil whine with disabling the C1E via ThrottleStop.

Overall I'm satisfied with the performance of this notebook but there are still some issues that bug me so I wrote to Asus about it but as I'm probably the only one complaining there won't be any results so I'm sharing this with you, maybe we can together put some presure on Asus.

here is what I sent:

also here is my thread from the ROG forums

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...e-cpu-always-on-max-clock&p=725079#post725079

 

thread dead? nothing anymore to say about this baby beast?

 

It'd be good if Asus added manual fan control :/

 

i want it too... even speedfan doesnt work to customize fan speed... on a gaming laptop should be the minimum

 

How does the fans behave in idle and light usage like browsing and office? Do they spin up or is the notebook completely quiet?

They slightly spin, depending on your fan mode:
- Silent (quiet or don't spin)
- Balanced (light spin)
- Overboost (they can go loud if you're working on a big file with multiple assets)

 

mine always spin, they never go under 1900 rpm which is a bit loud for me as my old gl552 had worse cooling and went completely silent while browsing, the gl503 goes silent only if you do nothing for 10 min and spin back up once you open any app

 

GUY's i found something astonishing for our gl703/503V series. We can upgrade keyboard firmware and now use new effects like on the new G series, such as music effect, rainbow, temperature and fine tuning aura settings (example, turn off sleep effect). Asus of course hide this on support pages of our laptop, so you have to download it on GM501 support site. You have to install all in this order:

1 FW updater=
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...43.1823354327.1535737324-356665043.1518088038

2 component app for aura core (you have to use latest aura core from microsoft store)=
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...27.1823354327.1535737324-356665043.1518088038

3 aura lighting service=
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...08.1823354327.1535737324-356665043.1518088038

4=after you have installed everything in this order just reboot your pc and then your aura app will have new modes

EDIT
just to remember...i don't want any responsability if you have problems with it... just tried on mine and all worked perfectly

 

Anyone with the GL503VM-DB74 (Hero edition I believe) care to share the eSupport folder? I wiped mine without backing it up (didn't know you couldn't just download everything from ASUS). Turns out there are some items that you cannot download from the drivers page.

Thanks

 

For those who needs the Esupport folder, I went to bestbuy and copied it from their system back then. This is for the GL503VM

Here is the link
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nsrbukk1bv01402/eDriver.7z/file

 

Thanks man, wish it was the GL503VM, but your eSupport is only for the GL503VMF (not the GL503VM, old one I guess?).

 

esupport is just useless... all drivers are on support page except for asus aura core for key light that you can download from microsoft store...

 

Works great ! Thx

Hello all, i have asus GL503VD and I instaled this pack . Now my lights keyboard is not turning off and my cpu is usage 25-30% all time . I can restore the firmware keyboard? Please help. Thx

 

Try changing the power mode to "overboost" in gaming center. See if TDP increases to >45W.

 

nothing to share with keyboard... probably you have some mess with aure package, try to update with the latest aura core from gl703gm, and update the apps from microsoft store if you have the older one that comes with esupport folder

 

There is no option to restore the keyboard firmware? Can someone make a copy?

 

there's nothing you can restore because keyboard firmware is so simple that basically asus doesnt provide a backup option.

The problem that you have aren't problems of the new firmware, because we don't have any problems. So should be a drivers problems.

Now... try to do this things:

-uninstall aura core
-uninstall aura service and lightning
-reboot
-update atk package to the latest from asus support page of gl703vm (1.00.57 or something)
-install aura service 3.02.23, download from gl703gm support page
-install aura core from microsoft store
-reboot.

If you do these simple steps everything should be working and okay.

 

Guy's bios 312 is out, downlodable from device manager in firmware update.

I already updated but doesn't bring anything new. Maybe fans are quieter on low temperatures, but i'm not sure.
