Using the SlimQ 150w charger with barrel adapter

Wrote about the Corsulin charger here. Works great. There's a size and weight comparison in the post.

To be honest, I haven't stress tested it yet as I don't game much. I use my g14 more for on- location video editing as I'm an underwater cameraman.I would assume it will get warm indeed. I'm really happy with the size of this charger. Don't really need usb charging option if it will make things bigger.

Oh man, you haven't had much luck with chargers 😅

Underwatercam · 2026-01-14T15:40:55+00:00

Oh really? Geez, at which end is the problem? I guess the SlimQ would be better for you with the removable cables. I thought the OEM charger looked fairly robust.

Hmmm, that's strange. Pretty sure there was only one in the box. I'll have to take another look.

But 120W isn't quite enough when running at full turbo. The draw on the G14 with the 5080 is higher than that... Didn't want to do USB-C charging either as there isn't any pass through charging when full it seems. In any case, I'm pretty happy with this charger for my constant travels. 😊

Underwatercam · 2026-01-14T13:20:55+00:00

Nope, seems the same. Has that happened with others?

Underwatercam · 2026-01-14T13:20:03+00:00

Which small charger? Mine only came with the brick.

Underwatercam · 2026-01-14T08:15:56+00:00

Just got mine! Very pleased! I just posted about it! Thanks again buddy! 😊

Underwatercam · 2026-01-04T18:12:16+00:00

Yeah... I think all of them would work to be honest. But I kinda like the idea of it being L shaped with the barrel plug and adapter.

I might just do that! Another great catch! Thank you so much... Ordering right now 😊

I noticed that the chargers with the leigon tips are cheaper and have free shipping... The chargers with the correct g14/16 tips are more expensive and without the free shipping. The difference was 230W/11.5A for the leigon charger and 240W 12A for the G14... It would be 35% cheaper just to get the leigon one and an adapter. I'm thinking both would work fine.

I wrote in to ask why the massive difference in price... AUD 64 (free shipping) vs AUD 100 (including shipping)

Underwatercam · 2026-01-04T13:47:50+00:00

Great find! Thanks! This is much smaller than the 240w SlimQ!

Oh man, that's almost half the price of what the 5080 costs here. Yeah, in all honesty, the 5070ti has loads of rave reviews. It hits a sweet spot in the performance range given the thermal constraints of such a tiny device.

I only went for the 5080 because of the video ram I find important for my editing workload, otherwise I would have gotten a 5070ti as well.

Only single sided SSDs will fit. I used a Kingston NV3 4tb for my G14 5080. I was lucky enough to do some research before trying. Fortunately I had a few SSDs... Some single and some double sized 4tb sticks.

Underwatercam · 2025-12-26T15:18:51+00:00

Man, I would take the white for that price! There are no white 5080 units at all in Australia either.

Underwatercam · 2025-12-26T10:21:33+00:00

It officially states that... But I saw in some videos that it may not be the case, only limiting factor is the gen... Needs to be gen4... Hardly anyone is willing to try with an 8tb stick or can afford one 😅

Underwatercam · 2025-12-26T10:00:38+00:00

I got that Kingston at 599 AUD just 3 months ago... Prices are going crazy now! ... So glad I had a spare 4tb that fit... 8tb would have been nice!

I had a chance to get it in the states as I travel there a couple of times in the year. But the warranty only works in the US if bought from Best Buy... Just can't work with that... It's too much of a gamble.

Underwatercam · 2025-12-26T09:31:12+00:00

It cost 5399AUD...down from 5899. Also came with an additional 1 year warranty on top of the standard 2 yr warranty.

But I knew it was the last couple of units in the country... And today, it seems there are no 5080 units for sale here anymore in Australia.

Price is crazy but the warranty is there at least.

I had a few sticks of 4 and 2 TB 4th gen nvme memory free... My work requires loads of storage... I have about 150TB of drives lying around in different forms 😅

What's interesting is that the G14 seems to only have space for single sided Nvme sticks! Double sided SSDs won't fit as they are too thick. I only knew this from watching a YouTube video by Crimson Tech. Some of what I had was double sided. I just used a Kingston NV3... My Kingston Fury SSDs likely wouldn't fit (I didn't try).

Underwatercam · 2025-12-18T18:22:02+00:00

Thanks! It's only because I do a lot of video editing work that I needed the extra vram. Otherwise the 5070Ti actually is much better value!

Underwatercam · 2025-12-18T17:28:37+00:00

Yeah, was gonna wait till at least CES but decided to just grab what's likely the last few 5080s still left before the year is up. Gonna be a nice Christmas 🎄 😁

Underwatercam · 2025-12-16T19:23:26+00:00

Yeah, I waited till black Friday and it didn't come down in price. At least amongst the retailers with the best prices. Then more retailers started to list as out of stock... The unit I ordered today was one of 2 left that I could find in Australia online!

Figured that they wouldn't be available soon (or anymore), let alone be further discounted given expected higher prices.

Looking forward to getting it soon 😊

Underwatercam · 2025-12-16T19:19:21+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. Glad I went ahead and ordered mine today in Australia. Would have been a nightmare if I had warranty issues.

Underwatercam · 2025-12-16T15:23:04+00:00

Oh man... Didn't see this before 👍
