    Anyone has this memory Ripjaws DDR4 SO-DIMMDDR4-3200MHz CL18-18-18 1.20V 32GB (2x16GB) in use? Is it Jedec or xmp profile? i can't find something about this topic.
    If this should be Jedec this could work with the G15.

    @brajesh143 jesh next week i get some feedback if this memory work with the G15. If yes i would respond again and this memory would be cheaper https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-RipJaws-PC4-25600-CL22-22-22-52-F4-3200C22D-32GRS/dp/B08KSGVZDZ
    Ignore this please was the wrong link.

    Or i ordered it and check it by my own.

    I was using 21.8.2 on Windows 10. However, I just updated to latest 21.9.2 and the problem is resolved. My framerate is no longer bouncing between 20 to 60's. Now, it's in high 90's to 100 (with v-sync on) with YouTube playing on a second screen. Without the video playing, the framerate is around 130. I'm very happy now that it's not dropping to low 20's.

    Thanks to your post, asking about the version, that prompted me to upgrade my driver.

    I got this laptop a week ago and purchased the G.Skill F4-3200C22D-32GRS 32GB RAM kit and was recognized right out of the bat and the latency dropped from 86ns to 80ns with Aida64 test. Gaming seems to be smoother and more consistent than with the stock single rank Samsung memory. Also noticed that some complained that it would not charge the battery completely, I had such issue that it would be stuck at 60%, updating the BIOS fixed the issue. Also since many complained about concerns about the liquid metal TIM leaking out damaging GPUs, I opened up mine and barely had any, cleaned it anyways and used GC-Gelid Xtreme and the temps dropped by 2-4C and the fans are way more silent at idle, they don't even turn on at all, also the GPU boost says almost all the time at 2.20-2,300MHz without any throttling. Its definitively nosier than my Acer Predator Helios full AMD but the gaming performance is notably better (Between 40-100% faster), the battery life is just ridiculously better, and the CPU performance is impressive (Between 35-90%), cant complain.

    BB original Asus AE had a 300Hz 1080P screen this has the QHD 165Hz , do you have a laptop or a Asus AE with this QHD screen ? This is the first time I've seen in available in the USA but do know other regions had the QHD AE already.
    Any clue how many Nits the QHD has ?

    I have QHD and it has 300 Nits not very much and no calibration from Asus for this Display but on Notebookcheck you can find an icc for the NE156QHM-NY1 i think it will be the same.

    I decided to look at an open-box "satisfactory" G15 Advantage Edition w/ the 6800M from Best Buy earlier today for $1494. Visited the store and inspected it, the screen was filthy. Whoever bought it was careless. But everything else was intact and I can always return if something goes wrong. No visible blemishes anywhere. Got home and gave it a thorough wipe down, and it looks brand new. Screen is flawless and uniform / no pixel issues. Updated drivers and ran a game and some benchmarks, no problems. Swapped in my 32gb Kingston dual rank RAM and got a nice performance boost. No thermal issues at all so far either, speakers are fine, no strange fan noises or coil whine.

    For $1494 it was a steal, very pleased so far. Love the FHD screen and don't want any higher on a laptop. I've bought many brand new laptops that have terrible screens or other hardware issues. Was expecting the worst and turns out the laptop is perfect so far. If you have a BB nearby with an open box model, go and check it out, never know!

    Looks like Best Buy wised up and raised the price of the upcoming QHD model to the same $1649 as the FHD 300Hz one.

    Have you tried the NimeZ driver for the 6800M? I'm curious if you're able to get a higher score with it.

    Looks interesting but I don't think I'll try it. I've read horror stories of the G15 re: rebooting, crashing, etc., and experience none of that. If it ain't broke don't fix it...I ran Timespy again with manual fan profiles and scored 11,881 overall, 12,137 graphics, 10,616 CPU. This is on the internal screen as well. Happy with performance so far.

    *Edit- I am returning the G15 sadly. There's something odd driver related that I can't seem to fix. Forza Horizon 5 runs like crap on the 6800M. Updated all drivers and downloaded AMD drivers from Asus site as well. Even at "only" high settings it is dipping into the 50fps range at times. My other laptop with a 3070 plays it at Ultra with high ray tracing and 8x MSAA, and ultra shadows + reflections and stays above 80 fps the entire time, average about 105 fps. Both laptops are 1080p. Oh well, was fun trying it. Solid laptop otherwise.

    Hi There,

    I am planning replacing my gelid thermal pads from vrms and vram and put k5 pro as I suspect pads creating some micro distancing and allowing less pressure from chamber into the gpu die resulting in gou hotspot peaks at 103c and sits approx 97c during heavy games and 3dmark benchmarks.

    Could you please share how you applied k5 pro and how much on chokes, mosfits and vram?

    Also, what's your Temps after?

    Same laptop here asus g513qy advantage edition.

    Thank you!

    I took a 10ml syringe, mostly cut the nozzle off and pack it with K5 Pro. Then applied on the components as I was icing a cake.

    You suggest replace gelid thermal pads into k5 pro chokes, mosfits and vram or just some of them?

    Also, can tell what your gpu die, gpu Hotspot avrg and max after firestike and timespy?

    Also I heard paste might be better for this laptops instead LM due to low pressure of chamber ... think gelid gc extreme be good for gpu and cpu as replacement to LM? Also LM can eat up the chamber with the time, isn't it?

    Thanks!

    Laptop ASUS G513QY Advantage Edition:

    So, last night I decided switch from LM (ThermalRight) to Paste (Gelid GC Extreme) and change the VRM/VRAM from Gelid Thermal Pads Extreme to K5 Pro, to ensure pads (Even at 0.5mm) doesnt prevent full pressure of chamber due to thickness.

    Results:

    Testing: FireStrike
    Mode: Turbo

    Temps with LM:
    GPU Die Max: 70-80c
    GPU HostSpot Max: 103c
    CPU Core Max: 90c

    With Gelid GC Extreme:
    GPU Die Max: 80c
    GPU HostSpot Max: 95c
    CPU Core Max: 95.6c

    So I lost on CPU but gain pretty fine on GPU, I Would stick to it, and can easily cap CPU temps via Crate PPT and Ryzen Controller.

    For example CPU-Z 3 minutes stress test with LM CPU Core was hitting max 80.7c and now goes straightforward to 95.6c, same as this guy's:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLapt...15_advantage_edition_2021_testing_liquid/****

    I guess I should just accept hotter CPU and be happy with cooler GPU ?


    P.s..... if I decide try check if cpu pasted properly, open chamber will ruin my K5 pro and need redo all mosfits chokes and vram?

    Every time you remove the heatsink, you need to redo the K5 Pro application.

    Currently my cpu goes 95.x C as soon as I start cb23 or cpu-z test and it remains at 95c during whole test.
