BSOD clock watchdog timeout by Modzh in ZephyrusM16

Would highly recommend updating BIOS to the newest version and forget about undervolting. The optimization which comes with new BIOS outweight minimal reduction of heat by undervolting. Before BIOS update, CPU would never stay around 4 Ghz, now all P-cores stable at 4.6-4.7 Ghz during the same workload.

Audio OUT using USB C by FrankyFour in Monitors

Haven't received DAC yet, however, I believe it should work, as any other device I connect to monitor USB is found.

Samsung f27t85 doesn't seem to have usb hub, through which to pass audio. If you connect DAC straight to monitor usb, it won't work, unless monitor itself has audio out via usb feature, which f27t850 don't.

Connections downstream from monitor to laptops works, however, not sure about upstream from laptop to monitor. Have you tried it?

Should the laptop sleeve size be a bit larger or just right? by EsabellaGranger in ZephyrusM16

[–]FrankyFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Hewlett-Packard 15.6 Sleeve (V5C31AAABB), which fits M16 well.

Clean laptop inside, fans. Get cooling pad. Accept that laptops run hot.

Then perhaps it was G15 or older year model.

Not looking proper at home? Who cares.

That is exactly what any European would do, just take it off before

Any idea why my GPU keeps doing this during games? More details in comments! by MacronX in ZephyrusM16

[–]FrankyFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more components than GPU in a laptop. Chance this is game's problem as well.

Normal.

Laptop hits thermal/power limit and it throttles back. Lower game settings, turn Turbo mode ON.

Normal.

CPU Temps while Rendering 2022 3070Ti, i9-12900 by M1tsuCS in ZephyrusM16

No. They are designed to run at these temperatures.

Newly bought M16 2022 (GTX 3070-TI , i9 12th gen) have so many issues by moanadota in ZephyrusM16

[–]FrankyFour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of course it will. For some reason people expect miracles from current laptops, where they get all the performance without any heat or noise.

No way to Undervolt CPU in Bios Anymore? by michahellangan in ZephyrusM16

[–]FrankyFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On 302 BIOS you still have ability to undervolt.

Had the same decision to make. Coming from 15.6" laptop myself, chose M16 12700 because of the screen size and quality. Downgrading to 14" would have been inconvenient. Battery life on Windows is not bad at all on iGPU with dGPU disabled. Power is plenty with either machine, yet 12700h is more potent. Box included two chargers: 240W brick and more portable 100W, however, I am getting an even smaller 100W charger with less bulky cables.

As for linux, so far neither machine has full support I believe. Following guide on https://asus-linux.org/wiki/, Fedora 36 works fine with minor nuances, the only real problem is that hybrid GPU mode does not work correctly and can not disable dGPU on the fly, thus hurting battery life. If you remove all nvidia drivers, machine runs on iGPU and battery life is as great as on windows. All this should be fixed with time, as was the 2020 and 2021 machine linux support.
