Great job ! Thanks

Thanks, if am going to get one it will be 32gb 2T RTX4080 that ran $3.2k which i okay. I really appreciate your video bro, thanks

I wish I was randomly picked for this random comment :)

I did this just now with my Razer Blade 15 Advanced Edition Mid-2021 refresh model laptop and all I can say is... wow. Literally nothing to lose here, just performance gains all the way, thanks for this tutorial! 🌟

My go to favourite Review Channel for Laptops, keep up the detailed work, love the videos♥️

Any Indonesian here? Where i can buy it Below $2000 for 4070 Variants 😅😢

I just bought the 4080 version from Best Buy. It's on sale for the first time, and there's a 15% reward promo for your first purchase on the BB credit card. Any advice for optimizing my experience besides what's mentioned in the video. I'm looking to plug into a usb c hub monitor... but still would like to use it for creative work like Premier Pro.

Have you got any good recommendations for where i could get g16 wattage boost guides for the 2024 g16 4080 version. I only ever see these videos for 4090's

what if i have 30 series

I spoke to you last year (on Reddit) about using IETS GT500 on my G14 4090 with 175w BIOS, which does great job, especially with proper re-pasting/liquid metal/expensive thermal pads. The problem with the IIano V12 is that is too big for G14 and other 14" laptops, there is (visible) air licking on the side. That's why they released the V10 which is for 13-15" laptops ideally. The IETS models on the contrary, use this dual-size foam pad (with magnets) which can be removed in order to accommodate any laptop size. The GT500 is quite loud (like IIano V12 imho) because of smaller fan (12cm not 14cm as here), but IETS has also the new GT600 line (with few variations) that has the same performance and sound levels with IIano, but I like their multiple-level raising feet better and their dual-layer dust protection compared to IIano's one level. I have also the top-spec GT626 with RGB + USB hub. In order to reach IIano's performance they've released V2 models of GT500/GT600's in order to match their performance, but with raised sound levels as well. IIano is the worst as far as I know, there are many reviews/comparisons for both pressurized cooling pads I think that you'll get much better results and lower temps with the V10 model you have to review as well, but I am afraid due to the smaller fan size (like the GT500) it will reach the same insane sound levels at max speeds. You can't have it all, but I think the most important for content-creation apps is the longevity of the VRAM, which can reach 100-105C (like the GDDR6X on desktop RTX 3090 if you can remember). On my modified G14 it reaches 90-92C without any cooling pad when rendering or using it on AI apps and will the IETS it gets around 80-84C Please post also the VRAM temps on you next review for IIano V10, because I am interested about it as well. Thanks in advance Hope it's helpful for some folks here, May the Lord bless you all!

Would this be possible for a MSI Katana .I have the 3070 ti 105w version and Asus 140w version performs marginally better.

haha That music for the laptop speaker test section rocks! we need it on youtube

I have gtx 1060 maxq , can i use gtx 1060 laptop bios for mine ? Cuz all maxq bios still low power limit .

Hey josh, i seen some post regarding G16 randomly shutoff on ZephyrusG14 sub reddit, is it also happening to yours? I planning to buy G16 but the randomly shutoff issue is kinda scary for me.

I'm considering getting a gaming laptop for portability, and this device would be awesome to have for better cooling.

I think the g14 2024 rtx4070 is gonna be my new laptop, do you think in black friday well be more affordable? Or in usa is there a different web but ebay where can I find that laptop cheaper? G14 2024 or g16 2024 rtx4090 are my options

Does the 240w charger work when you have the vbios flash done?

Love the videos! Have you used it on your G16? Just curious if the downwards facing exhaust will be a problem for the foam. I have the laptop and cooler being delivered on Tuesday!

Is there a newer model already?

What about anime matrix settings in G-helper? 😪

Hi, I have the G14 2023 with rtx 4060. I did a clean windows reinstall via a usb. The Asus recommended power plan is missing . How do I recover this? The power plan shows silent equivalent to balanced mode in windows setting, performance and turbo is showing as high performance in windows settings. Could you please advise? And I am not able to switch to eco mode. My nvidia settings is on auto ( advanced optimus)

Hi Josh! I want to buy a zenbook pro 14 duo 13900H 4060...I heard it uses 80 watts for the GPU...But it's a thin notebook... Sooo I would obviously buy a better adapter then the original 180W one...Would I be able to get a Vbios swap with undervolt to give the laptop atleast the performance of a normal 140W 4060 laptop? What are your recommendations? Aaand do I have to get scared of hurting it's VRMs? Would an undervolt save them? Is it safe?😐

What the McDonald's have I done. 145 w 20 w boost on g16 4090. Using your supplied strix 18 bios. 19,913 time spy score. HDMI out still works?

Awesome video. Great pace, great energy, great commentary. Good luck man. Thanks.

Bought this cooling pad for my razor blade 16. Doesn’t really cool it that good because of the bottom vent holes are on the side of the laptop.

سلام

How would you compare ASUS and Lenovo as far as their reliability and longevity? Will the ASUS G16 last me 5+ years?

Was planning on getting g16 with ryzen ai 9, 4060 variant but it is 700+ usd more compared to ryzen 7 8845hs 4060 g14 which is wasay too much n out of my budget so imma getting g14 at the end of this month

I own one, HDMI does connect to dgpu with optimus turned on

Awesome review bud, I am waiting for a sale to get my hands on these❤

Can i do it on my 3060 85w / i5 11300H Asus TUF F15 Laptop?

Man your videos are the best. You’ve helped me come closer to deciding between the G16 4070 or 4080

The 3 fan setup was probably done for weight. The 4080 and 4090 are 2.1kg while the others are only 1.8kg, the same as non gaming 16 inch laptops. They have put every manufacturer to shame with it

Bro how's this laptop for gaming for next few years? Assuming config Is an RTX 4070 with 32 GB ram and 1 TB Ssd? Any other options?

Hi thx for the video i have i9-14900HX and the temperature in gaming like GTA valorant 80 to 92c

This guy is a hero!

@joshcravestech thank you so much for this in depth review. I’m absolutely sold on the g16 but agonizing over whether to get the i9 ultra with 4080 or the new strix point 370 with 4070. For my use case it’s replacing my work laptop and will be replacing my gaming desktop until i upgrade that probably late next year.

I hope I win

thank you. Flashed my g16 4080 with razer 4080 vbios and surprisingly hdmi port still works at 4k 120hz. But g helper slider still maxed at 105W

I think perfect solution is to limit cpu frequency maybe at 3700mhz (avoiding big cou voltage and power consumption) and undervolt gpu. On my legion y540 from 2019 i got low fan noise when playing games.

I have a computer

Recommend everyone with ASUS get rid of myasus and armory crate and get G-helper instead

Any chance you have the G16 HX370 4070 vbios?

LAPTOOOP SPEEEEAAAKEEEERRRSSSS!!! LAPTOP SPEAKERS! That shit catchy as hell.

Damn ASUS is really stepping it UP ! This laptop then Rog Ally X !!!!!!!!

Hardware Canucks did a video recently that said they had fluctuations in fps results with repeat testing of any game. Do you think it's related to not trusting the dynamic display to automatically switch between optimus and gpu only?

How to turn off function that does: when i use combination fn f1/f2/f3/f4 it makes visualization like aura static... I want to turn off screen fn visualization

I went with the lenovo legion 5 slim oled. The 3 things I did not like about both the G14 and G16 zepth is: 1. price. Its too much for a 4090 you cant even push to a 4080 on a big laptop. 2. The liquid metal. I had a liquid metal asus G513 and I swapped it for thermal grizzly kryosheets. liquid metal is not something I want to deal with in laptops. too many vaariables that are risky. not "can" be risky. are risky. 3. the asus power brick. Its too large for a laptop this small (I know it has to be, but still). On the other hand, surface temps for these laptops, including mine are kinda nuts. they get real hot on the keyboard. I personally only run the laptop (legion 5) on silent mode, as I am ok using lower settings in something this small. I really cannot wait for the next 6 years of improvments when we can get small laptops that run stuff really well on low power. Last thing: I am really sad MSI afterburner is kinda dead for now. manual tunning for laptops is such an amazing thing. (I know asus has its armoury crate, but its not exactly as good). And one more thing (so not last before I guess): I am a bit of a headphone nut. spkeaers in laptops suck. The alst laptop I had that had actually good speakers was the GT780 DXR from MSI. But in any small laptop you are doomed in speakers. And a really good headphone like isine10 from audeze (shit quality control, amaizing sound)... its more than a night and day difference. I think your review is above average. I like it. I hope next time I am looking for a new laptop you make a review on a laptop I want to get. You provide additional info. Always useful.
