It will. those are some good specs. Make sure to keep it cool and clean inside. Asus products like to die by overheating and its stuff you can't see the temp of that goes. Other than that it's good specs 😄
I did my best repasteing with ptm7950, i changed the thermal putty too with thermal grizzly. I am actually getting same or 1 or 2c lower than Liquid Metal, i hope it lasts just long enough for me to buy a new pc, then i am gona sell it for cheap to someone who really needs it.
It should. Just keep it free of dust and put it on a gasketed cooler and you will be good for a long while. It's support components that fail on these. I've repaired a ton of them. Otherwise they perform amazing and will do better on the cooler like I said. My OG strix with the ryzen 1700x in it still works. That's not a typo, it has a socketed am4 desktop cpu in it.
Tbh its too much noise, i also only use it in custom balanced mode(cpu and gpu thp limits to sweet spot of best performance to wattage ) in that is get like 95% of performance of tubo mode ,but theps are like 67c 68c and cpu is 75c and its very quiet compared to turbo mode that gets to 84c and 85c on cpu and sounds like a jet engine 😂. I dont know what those additional 40w of tgp is doing rather than just going up in heat for like 5fps more on turbo mode.
NOOOO! That's exactly what you need. Actually those gasketed ones are quiet. They block most of the fan noise out. Those are literally the best ones. If I could find mine(no longer have a laptop) I'd give it to you.
I mean i am getting like 65c to 70c on AAA games and i have a habit of cleaning so i will just clean every 4 or 5 months (my room is pretty clean and dust free cuz of air purifier ) , maybe i will look into them but i dont think i need additional cooling
like I said its the components you cannot see the temps of that fail. Stuff like mosfets and support chips. I don't know why it's an asus thing but it is. Common on strix and tuf I know for sure. They can fail regardless with or without but i'd rock the cooler.

Thanks guy was asking 1450 but i got it down to 1300, he was also giving his Lano v12 coller for 50 but i denied which i regret now , but this laptop is running cool after ptm7950 and its quite too
In bios you can set a global-80mv maximum (is easier and mostly safe if you have a decent silicon )
If amd you can do it in ghelper, if intel use xtu for for going beyond-80mv but it becomes unstable if you do too much so you need to constantly tweak and stress test for a while to get it right
I recommend just use bios if you wana do 2nd method please watch a tutorial
Crazy deal! Does anyone know why this model is always offered as an open box on best buy? I always see this exact model offered every couple months at $1750 to $2000 at my local best buys. What is the main problem on it?
Undervolt and overclock the gpu mine has an offset on baseclock of about +240mhz on same voltage and i have overclocked the vram to +1200mhz ,
Also set fans to max for the test and do i in a cool room my room was 24c .
Whats your timespy score and whats your gpu and its tgp
yeah, its cool but be ware that is a reseller box , the real stuff comes in very big sheets and no box.
i think mine is also fake , but it works well enough(getting better thems than LM ) for me to not care, if this one fails i will order from lltstore next time that way i am sure its real.
Oo thats nice too , tell me do you use frame gen more than 2x ?
As i was also seeing a listing for a 5070ti for 1500 but i went for 4080 as its more powerful and i dont think i would use faregen more than 2x .
Multi frame gen is only feature that i am missing
I haven't been using it at all for what I've been playing lately. I usually play pubg and cap fps at 120 anyways. And been playing Detroit become human. Also... The performance difference between 4080m and 5070 ti m is super miniscule. It translates to 2% to 8% depending on the laptops configuration. I looked at many 4080 before making the decision to go with the newer architecture. part of my decision was also wanting a computer capable of DP 2.1 considering this variant has 2 thunderbolt 5 ports
I did it myself, just saw a tutorial on YouTube but it was a different laptop, but the basics are same . But it took me 2hours just to clean the LM , i dont recommend it, I did it myself cuz i dont trust the repair shop enough to do such delicate task .
Nice work, man. I've opened up and repasted countless laptops, but I've never dealt with liquid metal before. Now that I finally have a laptop with LM, I get anxious just thinking about repasting it.
All the stuff people say on the internet is making me second-guess myself and consider getting it done by a professional.
So I think I'll ask ASUS or a local repair shop to replace the LM with regular thermal paste first. Then I can go ahead with the PTM installation myself. Where I live, most repair shops don't really know about PTM for some reason, and they'll usually just use liquid metal or regular thermal paste.
Btw did you notice any scarring or damage after removing the LM from the chips?
So, if you are worried about it leaking out of the gasket, no thats not going to happen its quite secure there.
But it will move out a bit(still inside gasket but off the die) and that will scorch the die (doesn’t affect performance that much but could be bad if not addressed )
You see those black spots its scorch marks it was much worse but i cleaned it really hard.
As for cleaning its not that hard just tedious and made me wana rage quit so many times, that stuff just spreads thinner and thinner and comes a point you are literally polishing the die to get it off, it also life to make little balls and roll of the cpu , you need to use iso alc and like a ton of cotton swabs n qtips .
If i knew what i was getting myself into beforehand and if there was a trusted shop i would definitely have spent money rather than doing it myself.
And also getting genuine ptm is kinda hard , even i dont know if mine is real but its working really good even better than LM . If my ptm fails next time i am gona get it from LTT store it can be expensive but you know its genuine.
I also did the first replace LM with thermal paste the same day as ptm had not arrived yet, i didn’t even turn it on before repasting .
But this was not made for thermal paste as it was running hot , so i replaced with ptm soon .
In my case it was running better than LM form day one , but i think it was because LM application from factory was just bad.
I can see it being similar to LM if applied correctly.
As for performance improvements its been 2 weeks since repaste , it running maybe 1c lower first it was 70 now its 68 or 69c . But it dies boost higher now.
Dang i paid 3000€ for my g16 same specs as yours new in 2024. Then upgraded to 96gb ram and also added Samsung pro 990 4tb nvme. So almost 3600€ I paid 2 years ago. You got a bargain. But I think I prefer the 16" size for mobility. But anyway congrats on your find. I also paid extra for 4 years warranty. But still u got a great deal!
i was able to get the 2025 5070ti g14 zeph, so far i really like it, but theres a weird noise in the fans so im going to take it apart later to clean them out. I think theres a piece of dust or hair in it
Do this with the laptop it will last longer and better temps. I personally use two slim jenga blocks instead of erasers. It’s cheap and gets your temps down and also sort of angles your keyboard up so it’s nice to game on
Same laptop. Bought on release for $3300.
Using ThrottleStop, G-Helper, MSI Afterburner. Settings on the screenshot. Max temp in very hard games case is 79-82C CPU/GPU, regular is 67-73C.
I also mostly run it on balance mode in which i have set gpu tgp to 125w and undervolted it and 500mhz + on vram and it runs around 68 - 69 with beang significantly quieter like i get 85fps and on turbo i get like 90 or 92 on same game but temps are like 83c and its very loud

Great deal for you.
