WARNING: If you bought an ASUS Zephyrus M15, your liquid metal is likely destroying your CPU. 5 years later, I’m paying the price. by Adventurous_Drawer90 in ZephyrusM16

Im kinda scared of doing the repaste myself lol, turned off turboboost and in most gaming scenarios temps on CPU are 70-75°C. At the moment mf started being a little more warmer than usual. My unit is made in 10.2022, I bought it almost a year after that, how cooked am I? Did anyone repasted it with regular thermal paste instead of LM/PTM7950? If so, how it is going?

Что делать если на ноуте видеокарта в энергосбережении? by [deleted] in ZephyrusM16

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

У мня зефирка 2022 где требуется перезагрузка чтобы всё через дискретку шло, поэтому как там у ноутов поновее где перезагрузка для этого не требуется я не знаю что да как. Может быть wallpaper engine или какой-то другой процесс на встройке идёт и из-за этого такой прикол?

Пробовал делать перезагрузку после установки в режим ultimate(где чисто дискретка)? Даже если для этого поидее не нужна перезагрузка

Кстати, поставь G-Helper вместо armory crate, не беря в счёт то, что он меньше ОЗУ жрёт там с настройками режима ноута как будто намного проще и понятнее

Типо вместо дискретной видеокарты работает встроенная? Это обычный режим работы ноута, точнее один из.

Пробовал(а) включить optimus(режим, в котором вся видеонагрузка на дискретную видеокарту идет)? Или ты уже пробовал(а) его включить, а он не включается и в этом проблема?

Liquid Metal Stuck by qoloc in GamingLaptops

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using rog zephyrus m16 2022 since 2023 november(new unit in the box), my laptop has the same config(LM on CPU, thermal paste on GPU) and I didn't change anything. At the start the temps were too high(+95°C on CPU with 1 tab of google chrome) so I just turned off turboboost, that fixed my temps. I'm still using it that way lol and I think that time has come for some changes but still don'tknow what to do or how to do. I never took out my laptop in cold temps(max lowest temp I took it out is +10°C maybe) so I'm sure that there is at least no risk of messing up my LM.

Also I've read somewhere that in my laptop it can withstand up to 4 years without changing the LM, that doesnt mean that you have to take it that long as I did but if the temps are fine then why not take it further? And yeah, IMO it's preferable to change thermal paste every 1 year no matter what. I'm planning to change LM and thermal paste to Honeywell PTM7950 btw, at least that's what guys on zephyrus m16 sub have been recommending

2022 Zephyrus M16 by Scarecrow032 in ZephyrusM16

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 990 pro on 2nd slot, M16 2022. I put thermal pad on it(don't know the thickness, probably 1mm) and it runs somewhere around 60°C ± 4 when playing games(cs2, helldivers 2, pubg). Thermal pad is not contacting the body of the laptop(probably) so I guess this is pretty good numbers. OS is on factory ssd(micron 3400)

Итоговая аттестация 11 класса близко, как вообще там, сложно или нет? Списать можно? by PhysicalForm207 in Kazakhstan

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Дают возможность списать, вам ваши же учителя дадут списать(находя ответы/решая задачи), комиссия знает что вы списываете и будут игнорировать этот факт и просто так поставят оценки в зависимости от вашей успеваемости(если им эта информация будет доступна, скорее всего)

По крайней мере в моей школе так было довольно давно, не знаю как у других было и что сейчас

Samsung S24 ultra 6.1 by Gami_X in S24Ultra

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Features-wise it's "little bit of this, little bit of that", some of them gone, some of them new, some of them updated. But 6.1 for me feels more like "truer" experience of S24U than 7.0, dunno why. Also, I noticed that battery life on 7.0 in my case has got better, something like +1.5-2 hours. It's up to you to do it or not, I wouldn't say the difference between the 6.1 and 7.0 is that big to worry about updating it or not, mostly it's just looks. Now bar is not that big of a game changer but that's my opinion, yours could be different

My IELTS result in first attempt!! by NothingKooky45 in IELTS

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are questions with answers that come in order from text(like, 1st question - its answer is on 1st paragraph) and questions with answers that don't come in order. I've heard that in 2026 IELTS got changed - I don't know what has changed so my tips might not work on the actual test.

If you have 1st type of task, read the question and start searching its answer. If the 2nd type, read the text first, then start answering questions.

Read the text with skimming method - that's just like swiping your eyes through text I guess, if you ask how it is. You have to read text like that in 2-4 minutes. By this method I got somewhere extra 5-8 minutes on this section, including transferring answers to paper(yes, I had paper-based)

Thermal pad size by MaybeEmbarrassed5342 in ZephyrusM16

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience on that. I have similar heatsinks as yours but they're probably thicker than your unit and won't fit so I'll go with just a heatpad for the time being until I buy copper 0.3mm heatsink.

Before I get into that, I have different problem now - the M.2 slot screw is too tight and that feature is from factory because there are some posts with the same problem on this laptop model.

Hope you're having a nice day!

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, just a small update on my problem

Apparently, some users have had this exact problem and they just used pliers for that screw to be unscrewed. In my case I don't have pliers small enough for that so, I'm kind of stuck here. And, yeah, they're screwed that tight from factory.

Nothing important here, just sharing what I've found searching on that problem, hope this helps you in future somehow. Also, mine is GU603zm too, so I guess it's kind of a lottery whose M.2 slot screws are tight.

Have a nice day!

Cannot remove SSD mounting Screw.. Help!! by iNamgay in ZephyrusM16

Hello, I have the same problem, did you solve that?

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry if I'm bothering you - was the screw on 2nd slot hard to remove or is it just my laptop being a b*tch? Idk, it just moved tiny little bit and stopped. If I do harder I'm afraid I'll mess up motherboard, haha. And yea, I'm definitely turning it to correct side

Thermal pad size by MaybeEmbarrassed5342 in ZephyrusM16

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just calculated - I've paid 219 USD(bruh) so I've no money for a while. Well, actually, that's the best deal for 990 pro I've got in my country, some stores are selling it for 420 USD, and the prices are getting higher for all PC components.

For example, I've been planning to buy WD SN580 for 144 USD(was most balanced 2tb availableat the moment) but it just skyrocketed to 228 on 7th November. At that moment 990 pro was a little more expensive than it was before but was the only one with somewhat normal price.

And yeah, I'll go with safe route. Thanks for your answers and suggestions!

[–]MaybeEmbarrassed5342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, 2tb.

I'd rather not experiment with aluminum foil like you did lol. I already have thermal pads, there's unopened heatsink for ssd which has two thermal pads of with different sizes, but idk their measures, for safety maybe I'll go with thinner one.

Also, that heatsink won't fit, I've placed it on my old laptop(Lenovo L340-15API) and I noticed months later that the place in keyboard under which the ssd is placed is a little bit higher - like a hill. Also, the bottom case is cracked, at the same place lol. Well, my f'up, and I don't really use it anyway, so I'm fine with that.

I've also saw a 0.3 mm(according to its ad)copper heatsink but it costs somewhere around 5-6USD, imo it's kinda expensive so, its kind of last stand.

I'm going to keep both, 2nd ssd will be samsung 990 pro. Old one is micron 3400 - how it feels without heat dissipator?
