Thanks for the great review Jarrod! Some of my experience after using the G531GW Scar III for a week. 1. The keystone is a white elephant, and often not recognized if docked during reboots. (I suspect it has something to do with the Armoury Crate.) 2. The Armoury Crate is a poor control panel beta, buggy and incomplete functions to support newer ROG notebooks. 3. Also, it is unlikely not to hit the Numlock function on the touchpad by accident during normal usage.

This is a very thorough review! Thank you and bravo! I was wondering, did you try to repaste the CPU? I have just bought and waiting for the 17'' version. I'm going to use some Kryonat and pads to repaste everything. How difficult was to achieve the -0.13 undervolting? Could the 17'' model perform better due to somewhat better heat dispersion?

@JarrodsTech 5 жыл бұрын

Cheers! Unfortunately I am not able to repaste review units, otherwise the next reviewer will not be aware of the change and report incorrect data due to what I've done without knowing. The undervolt was very easy, generally I go for -0.15v and that is almost always fine, just wasn't in my unit, specific values vary by CPU though so you just have to experiment. I have heard the 17" has an extra heatpipe, so may run cooler, you can compare the insides of yours vs the insides of mine in the video to confirm.

@TheSamun 5 жыл бұрын

@@JarrodsTech Hi! Thank you, yes I'm going to compare them and I will write back if there is an extra heatpipe. Let's hope repasting will improve performance :) Since I haven't undervolted a cpu before, have you posted a video guide before that I could watch or mentioned steps followed somewhere in your videos? Thanks again, you do a terrific job :)

Hello @Jarrod'sTech, Is there a review for the newer version of this laptop in the making? I'm speaking about RTX 2070 SUPER + i7 10th Gen 8c/16T. Thank you!

Great video. Is there a difference between this and the 17inch version other than the screen size? I'm seeing the same specs but not sure if it's a good option as there are no reviews for strix gl731 rtx 2070.

Thanks, I've heard the 17" has an extra heatpipe which may help with cooling, however I've never had one for myself to confirm this.

@Jarrod'sTech - can you clarify about the fan noise at idle? At 11:43 you show the laptop at idle and the fans are audible at ~35db. However, at 11:55, you say "at idle it was completely silent, no fan noise at all". So which is it? Audible at ~35db, or completely silent? thanks

35db is my noise floor, it cannot get quieter than that point. There was no audible sound coming from the laptop at idle.

Hey Jarrod, I highly recommend checking out the coolermaster u3 plus cooling pad. It has had a hugely positive effect on my asus scar gl703vm with full 1060 and 7700hq mainly due to manual placement of 3 80mm fans. Great product at a great price!

Great review. Thanks for taking the time. I don't know if this has been stated in the comments, but the reason it says per key RGB AND 4 zone RGB is because the keyboard itself IS in fact per key. The lightbar is what they were talking about (4 zones) as it is split up into 4 zones. Also, you CAN indeed turn off any of the 4 zones of light bar, and ROG symbol on back, and any key on keyboard; all indenpendently of the others. Hope this helps, and keep up the great reviews. P.S. I just bought this 2 weeks ago, and even though your review made it seem as though it was an ok gaming rig, I find it to be a beast (of course this is compared with the one I am replacing it with, the G750JM, I7-4xxx, GTX870M, etc...). P.P.S I have undervolted mine to -0.120V, underclocked turbo of CPU to 4.0ghz, set short turbo max to 1 second, and overclocked video card to: +200mhz clock, and +1ghz memory (yes, its very stable too), and I see similar numbers in games, but have yet to see my temps go above 77 or so (never above 80).

@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Oh I see, seemed pretty confusing the way they had it on the site when I made the video. I wonder if the software was updated since making it, probably. Yeah should be a huge upgrade over that! Good to hear it's going well 👍

@setdragons 4 жыл бұрын

@@JarrodsTech it could very well be they updated the software AND the bios. As a matter of fact, now I'm thinking of it, when I first booted it up, while doing windows updates, the asus update software had some updates for it, and one was a bios update.

@stefman4444 4 жыл бұрын

I'm glad you posted this reply. Since you own this laptop, you mention the RGB light bar as having 4 zones? Does that mean you can select the keyboard as having a color and the lightbar as having different colors or does it have to match the keyboard. I remember reading an older article how the lightbar can't be customized and has to match the keyboard. Is this true? That's a deal breaker for me if true.

@setdragons 4 жыл бұрын

@@stefman4444 using the aura creator software you can set them all different colors. Meaning ALL keys and ALL 4 zones of the light bar can indeed have different color, flashing, changing, etc. There ARE some limits with the software, but you can do pretty much what you like with it.

@@setdragons awesome! That's one of the reasons I held back on buying this lol I'm assuming the ROG logo on the lid can also be independently changed as well? Last question, without Gsync have you noticed any tearing? It's unfortunate the scar doesn't have gsync but if it's fine without thats great

In reality these Asus laptops are pretty understated. You can turn the lighting off and it doesn't look far off a business laptop. Bit bigger maybe but the mostly metal / carbon look construction has good design aesthetic.

same, on my gx701 I only used balanced mode, with gsync on and Witcher 3 still runs at over 90fps. The difference between balanced and turbo was only about 1-2% and not worth the almost doubling in noise from the fans.
