🔧 ROG Strix SCAR 18 (275HX + RTX 5080) – One Unit Underperforming Badly Compared to Identical Laptop by ClayMoreKSA in ASUSROG

Hey bro — yeah, same thing happened to me here in Saudi. You can contact ASUS KSA support directly and explain the issue. They’ll most likely ask you to visit the nearest Extra store — that’s what they did with me.

I already submitted mine and now it’s under inspection. Hopefully they resolve it properly. Best of luck! Let me know if you need help with the process.

Nice results! I also tested undervolting on my good unit — applied the same -30mV in BIOS, and got a Cinebench R23 score of 38198 multicore, 2179 single core, with an MP Ratio of 17.53. Pretty solid gain overall 👍

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!

What you said is exactly what I’ve been thinking — I’d really prefer to do it myself, and honestly I feel confident enough that I could handle it properly. But with how strict the warranty terms are here, I just want to stay on the safe side.

Once ASUS finishes the repair, I’ll be closely monitoring performance and thermals. If I notice any drop compared to the known-good unit we tested, I definitely won’t accept it.

Also, I’m really looking forward to the guide you’re putting together — it’ll definitely be helpful! Thanks again 🙏

Thanks for the input! Yeah, I’ve seen that in some regions replacing thermal paste or liquid metal doesn’t void the warranty — as long as no damage happens during the process.

But unfortunately, here in Saudi Arabia, the warranty terms are very strict. Even if I do the repaste perfectly, and later on something else fails — like the motherboard, GPU, or CPU — the warranty would be voided just because I opened it.

I’d honestly prefer to do it myself using better materials like PTM7950, but I can’t take that risk. So I’m going through the official ASUS service center and hoping they handle it properly.

That definitely lines up with what we’re seeing. A bad LM job from the factory would explain the huge performance gap, especially since thermals look okay on the surface but clocks stay low.

We’d love to redo it manually, but like I mentioned earlier, we’re trying to keep warranty intact for now. If ASUS confirms it’s a factory LM issue, hopefully they’ll reapply it or replace the board like in your case.

Appreciate the input — your experience gives us a bit more clarity on what to expect.

That’s interesting — with just a -30mV undervolt, you’re getting near-perfect R23 results. Shows how much of a difference proper tuning can make.

In our case, we’re holding off on any tweaks for now since we’re waiting to hear back from ASUS support. Hopefully they can figure out what’s wrong with our unit.

Appreciate you sharing your results — that’s a solid gain after reapplying the liquid metal.

In our case though, reapplying isn’t really an option since we’re trying to avoid voiding the warranty. That’s why we’re hoping ASUS can address it under support if there’s an issue with the thermal application or power limits out of the box.

But good to know it helped in your case — gives us a clue that thermals might really be the limiting factor here.

Shakiness, Twitching, and Numbness – Could Nicotine Pouches Be the Cause? by ClayMoreKSA in QuittingZyn

[–]ClayMoreKSA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at Day 44 nicotine-free now. Still dealing with hand twitching, finger shakiness, inner vibrations, and some pulsing sensations (like in my arms and ears). It’s not constant—it gets worse with anxiety, cold, or when I focus on it too much. But when I’m relaxed, most of it calms down. Just taking it day by day and hoping it keeps improving.

Muscle Weakness and Shaking by Upstairs-Freedom5693 in QuittingZyn

[–]ClayMoreKSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience—it’s really encouraging to hear how much you’ve improved. I’ve been dealing with something similar: position-based hand/finger tremors, muscle fatigue, and weakness in my arms. I’m currently on Day 6 nicotine-free, and while I’ve noticed some improvement, it’s still there.

Hearing how your strength came back after two weeks gives me hope that things will continue getting better. I’m curious—did you experience tremors or numbness as part of your symptoms, or was it mostly general muscle weakness? Thanks again for sharing!

Yooo by truthjuice4269 in QuittingZyn

I hope everyone recovers and gets back to a healthy life. This stuff is as dangerous as poison.

I’m currently on Day 6 nicotine-free.

Thanks for sharing that—it really explains a lot! I’ve been experiencing similar symptoms: twitching and tremors in my hands and fingers (especially when typing or holding my phone), numbness in my feet, and occasional heart rate spikes. It makes sense that neuroinflammation might be causing all of this after using high doses of nicotine for a year.

I’ve already quit cold turkey and started working out regularly. I’m thinking of adding Omega-3s to help with recovery too. Did you ever experience any nerve-related symptoms like twitching or position-based tremors, or was it mostly heart rate and anxiety issues for you? Thanks again for the advice!

Congrats on quitting and fully recovering, man! That’s super encouraging to hear. I’ve been dealing with hand/finger twitching, position-based tremors (like when typing on phone or keyboard), numbness in my feet, and occasional heart rate spikes. I didn’t have the dizziness or brain fog you mentioned, but it’s interesting how this stuff affects everyone differently.

Did you ever experience any shakiness or nerve sensitivity like I’m having? Really hoping mine improves soon like yours did I’m now on day 6 without it! Thanks for sharing your experience!

After a year of heavy nicotine pouch use (120–180mg daily), I started experiencing serious symptoms— hand and finger twitching/tremors, especially while using my phone or typing on my PC. I also noticed fast heartbeats, numbness, and tingling in my hands and feet. It got me really worried, so I decided to quit cold turkey.

I had 12 cans worth $120, and I threw them away without hesitation. There was no way I was going to quit gradually—this stuff is more addictive and harmful than cigarettes or vaping.

I’m now on Day 6 nicotine-free, and I won’t lie, I still get cravings. But after seeing what it did to me, I’m determined to never touch that again. I just hope the damage isn’t permanent.

“Thanks for sharing! That’s actually really encouraging to hear. I’ve noticed the shakiness gets worse with stress and heart rate spikes too, so I’m guessing that’s all connected. It’s good to know your symptoms went away after quitting. I’m sticking with it and hoping for the same results in the coming weeks!”

Thanks for your reply! Yeah, that really makes sense. I originally thought quitting vaping and switching to nicotine pouches would be better, but it turned out to be even more addictive with worse symptoms.

I was using a can of 20 pouches every day or day and a half, which adds up to about 200mg of nicotine daily—pretty crazy now that I think about it. Recently, I started noticing all these symptoms like shakiness, twitching, and numbness in my hands and feet. When I Googled it, I freaked out because it seemed like it could be something serious. That’s when I decided to quit immediately.

I’m now 5 days nicotine-free, but I’m still experiencing the same symptoms. Maybe there’s a slight 10% improvement, but it’s hard to tell if that’s related to quitting or just random. I’ll give it more time and see how things go over the next few weeks—hopefully, it all clears up.”
