It's worth noting that my model may be specific to the market in my region. There are definitely other Helios 300 configurations with better screens and dual channel memory available, however lower power limits with the 3060 model still exist as far as I'm aware.

I still own the 2019 version, and let me tell you it's not all fine and dandy with that too. I mean it's decent for gaming but not that great. The PredatorSense software, when opened kicks the CPU usage by 15% and therefore the fan speed. Simple googling rasies the CPU temps to a socrcthing 70C. I'm in University, I don't usually switch my laptop off, I put it to hibernate, I don't know for some reason, after a few cycles of hibernation when using it the CPU temps reaches 80C, I have to do a resrtart the damn thing to bring it back to normal and yes I repasted both the CPU and GPU. And did I mention, I got BCD 3 times just by playing PUBG (early 2020) that's when I stopped gaming on that.

This configuration seems slightly different to the one you describe. I am not that knowledgeable about computer hardware, but bought this machine as I have an older version with a GTX1060 inside and 32mb of RAM and found this to be a really good machine. It still is a good machine, but I needed another machine in the house and so went with ACER as I have had a bad HB OMEN machine in the past with firmware issues. Is my new laptop a piece of crap?

The second problem was SSD nvme sitting in slot on wrong side of mother board and it was covering bios chip witch was hot ASF after changing his slot to other side temps go down on System Temps in predator sense . The third problem is Ethernet and his software , when u have turned off a ethernet from your device manager the temps on system drops in copule second from 80 to 55 . yeah its a bit problem becouse ethernet is ethernet and wifi is su..s . For those who want to use ethernet i can say only one put some thermalpads on that bios chip and thats all you will got maximum temps like that after u make all that steps : 75 CPU 65 GPU and SYSTEM temps around 70 maximum with full stress

it's weird seeing this helios 300 having a bad color gamut while the 9th gen helios 300's color gamut that that I had was still hay better lol plus I think my 9th gen helios 300 (even though it got outperformed by the 10th gen and 11th gen versions) is still a capable laptop for me :)

I got 2k + 3060 with dual channel Ram model at $1500. I didn't have any screen issues and max wattage for 3060 was 105W. (Tested with HWinfo) Cinebench score was 12200 multi-core. 3D Mark Time Spy was around 7600.

I just recently bought the 3060 model as well from Amazon for $1230+tax, it also came with dual channel and 105W for the GPU (tested)...my issue with it is the heat (around 90C+ for most games and thermal throttling under stress tests). I am thinking about repasting, and try undervolting once they have that option unlocked in future Bios update.

Helios 300 i bought 2019 was one of the best deals i have done. Excelent system, good display, not too expensive, space for upgrades, decent cooling. My only real complan is how some keys get stuck sometimes but they usualy fix themselves. Sad to see a giant fall

I have the similar model and i bought it here in taiwan. Screen has 3ms response time and is superb probably it varies from region to region. Yes it came with single 16gb stick so i upgraded to 32gb. The issue of lower power limit for gpu is there but once you plug an external monitor as i use it for my daily use gpu hits consistently 105-110 watts. However it shd be fixed in the bios update . One problem is that you cannot undervolt the cpu like you can on msi. Gaming performance and cooling is superb. Enjoying my experience till now
