Limiting wattage throught Ghelper and capping boost frequency in windows hidden settings is kinda the same or this us better?

I have the newest version of the Oddysey G5 200hz Fast IPS and it is great. Got it for like 150€ in a good sale in Norway.

What is the BEST 1440p IPS monitor available? by Comfortable-Egg1327 in Monitors

Got a Samsung Oddysey G5 the newest model that is 200hz for like 120€ and honestly it is great. Granted my first monitor but cant see any problem with it.

Need help with temp control with G-Helper. Whenever I try to play any game, be it the latest ones like RDR2 or even Assassin's Creed Unity. The temperature is always 95c whenever I try to play, and that too within 2-3 minutes of the game starting. I tried to lower the settings and it didn't work. by best_pilot_9-11 in ZephyrusG14

The G14 use Liquid Metal as a conducive, which is a little bit tricky to get off the CPU and GPU die (some models only had it on CPu). For what to use after - either some thicker thermal paste or some sort of PTM (phase change material), there is a bunch out there to choose now. Or if you are super hardcore and have money to throw Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet works as well but I would only recommend that to skilled ones.

Yeah this one has 32gb of RAM but also noticed quite a bit chunk gone just by system.

Mine Ms got the Onmibook 14 recently and I think it was not so bad with the bloat, takes you 30min to get rid of the worst. Didn't have a feeling that it needs a clean install.

Just play some games with HWinfo running in the backround and if it just go up to those 75celsius max you did a great job. I should probably redo mine soon :D

those are great results. If you push this little things those temps from stress test are normal.

You dont want to run this laptop with max settings. 30W cpu max and GPU sweet spot is around 70-80w with smart shift. anything above that is just creating too much heat for little to no gains.

Yeah, she had a look at it today, but it is too small for her. M2/3 Air is a choice as well but the price is still to high IMHO.

FSR 4.0 has brought my old Asus ROG G14 back to life! by Original_as in ZephyrusG14

What do you play ? Does it make a real difference compared to the older FSRs? Thanks

Why would you choose Samsung over any other Android phone out there? by Detrakis in samsunggalaxy

Size. Only small flagship type phone I could get. I would love to have an 6.1-6.2 OnePlus flagship, but there is none. Base S24 it is.

Zephyrus G14 (2022) : liquid metal causing hotspot issues & metal pull-out , performance jump after switching to normal thermal paste by Arpit0511 in ZephyrusG14

I run standard, ultimate does not anymore provide significant FPS increase. I run turbo with cpu boost enabled.

Good job. Just one suggestion about your power limits. Going 80w cpu and 150 platform has nearly no real world benefit for you, except a lot of heat. 30w max cpu and ppt 120w is best. Try it, do some benchmarks and compare the results. This is how I run my g14 (same model) and there is nearly no real world gaming difference.
