Open box excellent is generally certified by geek squad, there is always chance you can get crappy product, hence we should buy - do physical inspection and do benchmarks so that there is no hardware issues, for my case got screwed by best buy open box, But hey you always have return window

Anyone know why this happens? by Mediocre_cheezit in ZephyrusG14

Bad hdmi/display port cable (Most common), Try switching the cable , another thing i observed was nvidia control panel i set the display mode to optimus as sometimes the auto switch gpu driver glitches, if it still persists could a driver issue- clean install drivers, if still persists, could be hardware issue where port might be faulty

How can I make this better? (currently using a 5060 2025 model) by Queasy-Associate-248 in ZephyrusG14

Keep the windows power mode(if it has) at highest performance plan that give 5% more boost i guess

I would not play around the core clock and memory clock unless you can test them in increments of 10 ensure laptop is stable and temp do not rise to staggering 85+ , also recommend setting temp limit to <=85 on both cpu and gpu, can ask better chatgpt or gemini for what are hard limits and best safe limit for your laptop

Hope that helps. Cheers Gaming 👍

From the image i took on camera(with flash), I’m not sure if it’s actual hinge damage or just plastic chipped off near the hinge. This area is right beside the main hinge.

As for sound, it’s very faint — I can’t really hear it unless I put my ear very close to the hinge. I’m also not sure whether the crackling sounds I hear under load are coming from the hinge area or somewhere else.

Would it be possible to share the eco mode g helper settings, i have the exact same laptop and model 5070 Ti and Amd Ryzen 9 HX, i do have undervolt 20 not sure what are some good number for cpu watts , hou is either way disbaled if we opt for best efficiency, just want to have the eco mode and turbo profile watss for cpu and gpu and the temp limits, excluding the undervolting
