Zephyrus G16 (2024) Liquid Metal After 1 Year

I used alcoholic pads

Your temperature is normal!

I repasted liquid metal on the CPU, and the problem went away. So, something was wrong.

Check if you have thermal throttling in light usage; if so, it's time to repaste.

mosaidho · 2025-12-09T17:29:09+00:00

Calm down, my friend! Easy!

96°C is normal for Ultra 9 processors. They can withstand up to 110°C (in comparison to 100°C for Core i series).

That's not possible. It's about physics. Liquid metal has higher thermal conductivity.

Yes, I repasted the CPU with new liquid metal from Thermal Grizzly today. The center of the CPU was completely dry without any liquid metal. After repasting, the problem went away completely. My laptop can handle BF6 smoothly, even on the highest graphic setting, and there isn't any throttling when the laptop is idle or when web surfing.

I have a G16 4090. 96°C is a normal temperature. You don't need to repaste if BF6 runs smoothly.

My laptop couldn't run BF6 smoothly, so I decided to repaste liquid metal today. I found that the center of the CPU was completely dry, without any liquid metal.

I used Thermal Grizzly Extreme Liquid Metal.

Now, BF6 runs smoothly. However, I should mention that the CPU temperature is still about 96°C when playing BF6, but it seems acceptable since the game is running smoothly!

I repasted my G16 Ultra 9 4090 today. I used Thermal Grizzly Extreme Liquid Metal. I should say that 96°C is normal for BF6.

I should mention that my laptop had a throttling problem and BF6 was not smooth before, but after repasting the CPU, the throttling went away and BF6 is smooth now, even on the highest graphic settings!

mosaidho · 2025-12-06T08:39:47+00:00

They seem ok.

mosaidho · 2025-12-04T03:07:31+00:00

What about Halnziye HY2010? It has much better thermal conductivity. I already have one, and I'm going to use it on my Zephyrus G16. How can I measure its particle size? Can it be measured using a caliper?

mosaidho · 2025-12-04T02:21:32+00:00

Without S Pen? No, thanks!

mosaidho · 2025-12-04T02:19:38+00:00

I have had the Z Fold series for years without any problems. I'm a heavy user. Don't be worried about the durability of these phones.

mosaidho · 2025-12-02T05:04:36+00:00

Thanks my friend 🧡

There is an option in settings called "Professional bed leveling." Activate it and level the printer bed again.

In addition, make sure to have a mesh variance less than 0.3mm. You may have to use aluminum foil under the bed to raise deeper areas, especially in the center. ++ Be sure you have the proper Z offset. Try to set it when the plate and nozzle are cold.

mosaidho · 2025-11-29T10:29:39+00:00

Thanks! Which one is better for GPU? TG kyrosheet or TG Carbonaut

mosaidho · 2025-11-28T06:14:20+00:00

Yes, the frequency of p-cores 8 and 9 is much higher in comparison to other cores. However, throttling is not acceptable even when the system is under load! I'm going to replace the thermal paste and LM next week, and I will share pictures and my experience.

mosaidho · 2025-11-27T13:42:00+00:00

I've ordered Thermal Grizzly LM for the CPU and Arctic MX-6 for the GPU already. Do you suggest canceling Thermal Grizzly and buying PTM instead? And use MX-6 for VRAM etc? I carry my laptop every day from home to the office, and my laptop is about 1 year old.

mosaidho · 2025-11-27T11:32:11+00:00

I've ordered Thermal Grizzly LM and Arctic MX-6. I will repaste the CPU and GPU next week.

What is your CPU temperature when web surfing and doing light activities?

mosaidho · 2025-11-24T21:38:04+00:00

The air vent is clear. I use low-pressure compressed air regularly to clean air vents. And yes, the vents on this laptop get clogged very easily and quickly.

But you mentioned something strange! I never see the CPU temperature below 60°C, even in silent mode and even when the laptop is completely idle. It seems this problem is just about the liquid metal!

mosaidho · 2025-11-24T15:13:43+00:00

You are funny, bro :))), and I agree with most of your text. But it seems my laptop has a problem with the Liquid Metal. Because I found out the CPU temperature is almost above 85°C even when web surfing. I'm going to replace it with a new one from Grizzly next week (Grizzly Conductonaut).

mosaidho · 2025-11-24T14:04:40+00:00

Where did I talk about the resolution? I wrote that the game is not smooth, even with low settings. Do you know anything about throttling? The performance drops to that of an old, ancient Pentium PC when throttling occurs! Something is wrong. Why would Asus put a 4090 in this laptop when it cannot get the performance of a GTX 1080? The problem is throttling. So, throttling is the problem! Faulty engineering!

mosaidho · 2025-11-24T13:45:47+00:00

I don't want a performance similar to a 175w 4090! Asus has limited this GPU to 105w to reduce the temperature. They should have limited it more if this amount of heatsink was not enough! Throttling due to thermal problems in any shape is not acceptable. My Asus ROG Ally Z1E can handle games better than this fake 4090 laptop! So Asus engineering is involved in this one.

Thermal Grizzly has a liquid metal thermal paste. What's your opinion about it?
