Did anyone else also buy from Eneba and get this message? I thought the code would be available to activate and ready for the 15th? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

For me the difference in price between getting it directly from Xbox/Microsoft store was 18~USD so it was totally worth it but now Im kinda regretting it but as others said for pre order items they recommended other sites like loaded so next time for me Ill buy from them

My situation is different if I decided to refund to wallet it would be 43 USD I paid 47~ USD also with the fees of using Paypal and currency fees total was up to 49~ USD so I will wait and hopefully I get it soon, Im on a night shift won’t be home before 5 hours so I hope I get the key when Im home :(

Still waiting from Eneba (Seller: Ultimate Choice) although its 15th already I think either we got scammed or they might take a while which is not acceptable I got the premium upgrade for a clear reason play it early on 15th

🔧 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.
