There is a new mobile gaming handheld on the market. The Asus ROG Ally. Grab a screen protector for your Ally HERE: www.dbrand.com/glass/ally Protecting your allies is always a good idea. Being able to take your games anywhere is a tantalizing proposition, but can the new ROG Ally handle the abuse of normal every day life? Today we stress test the Asus ROG Ally to find out its limits. And even take apart the ROG ally to see how it works from the inside, and see if the ROG ally has easily replaceable joysticks.

One major flaw exponentially spreading out in the last hours Is related to the position of SD card reader, placed near a huge heat source and under the heatpipe/fan assembly. Please be careful and don't let stock fan curves, and avoid playing too much in turbo mode with high temperatures...

Two fans in Rog Ally are the real game changer. Asus's power profile tends to run hot to reduce fan noise, but if you use manual power profile with more aggressive fan curve, you'd be surprised how cool it runs. I use 100% speed at 80° then gradually go down in logarithmic shape. At 18W to 25W my Ally runs at 55°. Even when I crank the Wattage to max on AC, temperature still remains in 60's. Even when fans blowing like crazy my Steam Deck runs high 70 to low 80.

I put it next to my AC 😅 how can i start changing my fan curve

@I.M.T.S 11 ай бұрын

@Solavation You have to put it on AC not next to AC. Come back when you do so. But if you crank up your AC, it should at least keep you and your Ally cool. /j

Every time i watch your video's testing durability i hype myself up and say i can get to the end this time, however, it physically hurts me when you scratch up and break apart an expensive new gadget which i would make laat easy beyond the security updates provided. I used my Huawei phone 5 years for instance and it's still my backup phone. Edit: I did it!!! I finally watched it till the end, probably because you actually put it back together again, thank you so much❤

It is both one of the best and worst looking handhelds from a daily driver standpoint that I have seen... Amazing performance, stylish... and most importantly, not complete e-waste if they decide to sell parts. But it's as hot as an early 2000s laptop running windows 10, and the buttons need a slight redesign.

@@TriflingToadWhen first heard of the ally i was reluctant to buy so I gave it a few months but now from what I'm seeing from ally users, looks like the issues have been rectified so i finally bought one and ugh the build quality is worse than the steam deck and the battery life is so short but the performance though is very good

Asus spent more budget on the RGB lighting / looking , but forgot heat & high power usage My Asus B650 Mobo already over-voltage my CPU from 1.25v to 1.4v (Ryzen 7700x) Asus always goes for over-voltaging - OC their hardware, either it's Mobo, GPU, Handheld..whatever they make Probebly gonna wait for Steam deck 2 in 2024 (cheaper, powerful, built better..etc)
