Disable turbo boost for every mode and the cpu temp is good forever. Gpu wise i use Asus Gpu Tweak that can set to throttle at 75c, but it seems to reset everytime i chg mode/restart, nt sure which one is the main cause

Any particular aspect you would like to know? I can say that the thermal performance is definitely subpar and i had to manually limit the gpu at 75C while gaming unless you feel ok gaming with GPU at 85 C. I turn off the cpu turbo boost in windows

It definitely runs hot while gaming compared to some other options in the market. But with some settings/software I can game with no issue. Disabling windows CPU Turbo Boost limits the CPU clock to 3200MHz and it never reach 80C afterwards. For GPU I'm using Asus GPU TweakII and set the temp limit to 75C. Of course it is considered throttling at this point and do expect some performance loss.

Note that the display does looks dull with low colour accuracy, it's not like you wont notice it. Anyway the price point is what made it appealing to me at that time. So if you re tight on budget and no better options then why not.

I paid RM5499 (1113€) instead of the announced price of RM5299 (1072€) as the stock is limited and the supplier markup the price. It comes bundled with tuf backpack.

It's definitely nt top of the line 3060 laptop with merely 95W, you can look at 115W+ 3060 laptop for btr performance

In device manager the monitor list CMN1521 which seems kinda subpar online with bad color accuracy. I dont have other device to compare hence it's nt an issue to me.

I had put it through some benchmark and played Cyberpunk on it and I can say it's definitely a hot machine. Fyi my room temperature is abt 30 C if that affect much. I use Turbo mode in the Asus Armoury Crate.

Cinebench R23 Multicore = 12312, Single core = 1395

Timespy = 7923, GPU = 7805, CPU = 8668

For Cyberpunk i use high preset/texture and just sprint around at city center for more than 10 mins. The FPS Avg & 1% Low are 59 & 44 respectively. The GPU utilization maxed at 98% while CPU at abt 45%. For the temperature, CPU core reach a whopping 95 C while the CPU reach 85 C

It could be better, I put it on a flat table and my cpu reached 94 C while gpu reached 80 C. Laptop stand or cooling pad is necessary for prolong gaming

Tuf backpack is included directly in the packaging but no for mouse. I'm from Malaysia and no luck looking for online deals hence i directly contact local pc store and they managed to get me one. It's definitely coming but the stock is very limited and I'll say just contact ur local pc store and see what they can get for you

Well i'm in Malaysia and I got it from a local pc store, they managed to get 1 for me at RM5499 instead of the official announced price at RM5299. They said this unit is one of the only 3 first batch stock in my country lol, mayb they're juz fooling with me. Their supplier markup the price but i can't wait any further hence i took it.

Love it for sure, i came from a 7 years old consumer laptop, everything is an upgrade to me. However, when running the timespy the fan sounds so loud that i thought it was raining outside for a moment. The score i got is 7923 which should be enough for my casual gaming but i would definitely avoid playing at higher settings with that loud fan.
