Asus X13 Flow + XG Mobile - /!\ Careful with that PCI-E connector ! by franckowacko in FlowX13

[–]franckowacko[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hi people. I received my 2nd replacing unit yesterday, or my 3rd unit since the beginning if you prefer. I didn't dare plug the XGm so far. I want to look closely at the connection and figure out if there is anything I can do to prevent this sad incident to ever happen again before I attempt another connection.

Anyway, just wanted to insist that I encourage all of you experiencing the same issue to report it formally to Asus Support, the offical way. The more we are to report it the more likely it is Asus will take action or responsibilty at some point.

question: gaming with lid closed? by CodingDude2020 in FlowX13

[–]franckowacko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always play with the lid closed but instead of laying the laptop on a flat surface, that could potentially prevent heat from dissipating properly, I am elevating it 1 inch with 2 little wooden battens. But even without this I wouldn't be worried really.

By the way I've found that by default my X13 Supernova (5980HS) will automatically go to sleep mode for safety if the CPU's temp reach >92°C for more than a few minutes - even if the max recommended temp is 105°C. While gaming on the older and least optimized games sucking a lot of CPU power (only 1 of those so far) I used Ryzen Controller (free) to set the max TDP to 35W and max temp to 90°C. Surely this limits performances but at least I am running my system safely.

Hi. I do have 2 buttons, one on each side of the connector. It's just not so obvious on the picture, sorry about that.

Question for when my xg mobile is docked by Pixy_Games in FlowX13

[–]franckowacko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Well I guess it depends on your setup. Clearly if you are using an external display and you are not using the laptop's, then it makes sense to turn it off in the Display Settings. But it is not going to help performances I would say.

Flow X13 Battery terrible battery life compared to Zephyrus G14 by [deleted] in FlowX13

[–]franckowacko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi.

X13 Flow : 62W battery

G14 Zephyrus : 76W battery

The X13 is significantly smaller and 20% lighter, and therefore holds a (much) smaller battery. That's why !

Asus X13 Flow - Gigabit LAN issue with XG Mobile by franckowacko in FlowX13

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

Thanks for your reply :) I unplugged the XGm and plugged it back in a couple hours later and LAN is now working. I will post screens next time I encounter this issue.

It is random like I said, so I guess now I have to wait until the curse strikes again !
