ASUS FX503 Gaming Laptop Review - 7700HQ + GTX 1050

[@pho3nix-]

I got this for a really cheap price around 6 years ago, only downside is sounds like a jet plane taking off when gaming and gets VERY hot. Even during "idling" the fans are constantly making noise.

[@MrStevemur]

I've been using this laptop for 5 years with no issues, so I'm happy with it, but an important note on the keyboard is that it doesn't have a page-up page-down or an end key, only home. For some reason Asus didn't even provide them through the FN key. So I often use an external keyboard with it.

[@YredzEditsTM]

I've literally just got mine second hand and I'm very impressed I picked it up for £300 i got the on with the 1060 6 gb and 16 gb ram it can do everything I need it to and some more great laptop especially for the price i got it for

Thanks! I've got a Dell G3 here at the moment so there will be some videos on that soon. As for HP though, I don't current;y have any contacts there so I don't have the ability to borrow any review units from them just yet. I've been trying to contact them for months but no luck so far.

[@VleuSantiago]

Jarrod'sTech If possible, can you review the base model of the dell g3? I believe it is has an i5 8300H and a GTX1050 4GB... But If not the base model, I still would love to see it’s thermal limitations highlighted. I’ve seen reviews of it where it runs a little too hot...

[@TheSteratul]

Thank You! I wasn't expecting for you to review this unit. As others have mentioned you do a fine job at reviewing techs and I hope to see your channel grow as well. Also, how did you undervolt the CPU and GPU? I have the same laptop and was wondering how to do that in a while now. Thanks in advance!

[@JarrodsTech]

Thanks! I use Intel XTU to undervolt the CPU, you can use MSI Afterburner for the GPU although I haven't personally found it to make as much of a difference compared to the CPU so far.

[@TheSteratul]

Jarrod'sTech I see.. How much do I undervolt it though? I haven't found a guide to undervolt this specific laptop..

[@JarrodsTech]

It will vary between each individual CPU, there's no strict number that is guaranteed to work. I usually start at -0.150v, run a stress test, then if there is instability (app crashes / weird problems / blue screen) I back it down -0.010v and try again, repeat until no issues.

[@TheSteratul]

Jarrod'sTech I see. Will try your suggestion asap. Been busy these past few days. Thanks a bunch! Keep up the awesome work!!

[@JarrodsTech]

No problem, cheers!

[@josuemartinez6843]

Good review man! I just bought it one month ago (i5 7300 HQ and GTX 1060) works perfectly, but this week I've downloaded Black Ops 4 and when it's running the temperature goes to 85-91°C (only when the laptop is charging, when it's not and use the battery I get 60-65°C) It's that normal? I mean it's only with COD. When I use it on normal work or in other games like Fortnite it doesn't get that warm. I'm a little bit worried about that high temperatures :(

[@JarrodsTech]

The battery will get warm while charging if it's not at 100%, and if it's already at 100% I would expect the components to run hotter as they would be able to perform better compared to battery only

[@fryax6721]

This is a disgustingly clean and precise review, I have the same model and got it on sale two years ago, I didn’t know the undervolt limitations and that I could over clock the gpu either. The laptop is ok with the games I want to play but that extra boost in performance will help a lot with revitalization after 2 years, since fortnite for some reason is harder to run now

Ty for no forgetting Dota 2... Great video overall.

Definitely considering this machine for school and creative work/gaming, but with the gtx1060 (FX503VM model). I was looking at the Helios 300 and Dell G5, but both are about $300aud more, and plus shipping they end up being 2 grand. Is there anything else worth considering around the $1500 mark with very similar performance that you could recommend?

[@JarrodsTech]

Nothing else that I've tested unfortunately, I've heard good things about the HP Omen and Lenovo Y530 but I haven't been able to get in contact with either of them just yet to get any review units, although might finally be getting in touch with someone at Lenovo so we'll see!

[@Johanneslol11]

:) Your videos are always fun to see! :) btw @4:45 in the video when you show the buttom of the laptop and the cover is not flush witht he body? Was it like that out of the box?

[@JarrodsTech]

Thanks! Ah, so there's like a little bit of plastic that sticks out so you can put your fingers in and pull the cover off, it doesn't actually prevent the laptop from sitting flat on a desk or anything like that so it must be thinner than the rubber feet that hold it up.

[@souravchand5360]

Great video... What difference in gaming and normal use will I get if I upgrade 8gb ddr4 ram+128gb SSD to 16gb ddr4 ram+256gb SSD

[@JarrodsTech]

Depends on the game, generally 16gb is recommended for many modern games, some like BF5 for instance will result in stuttering with 8gb or less, but for the most part you'll see a larger performance difference going from single channel memory to larger memory compared to larger sizes.

[@souravchand5360]

@@JarrodsTech ok thanks

That won't help frame rates, but will help improve game loading times, I've got an older video comparing gaming on HDD/SSD and the differences were within margin of error.

[@Clyne69]

Jarrod'sTech Ah ok. So is 84 degrees acceptable for a laptop under heavy load? And is there any other settings to decrease the temp

[@FluffyUnicornXR]

Hii, I’m looking around for a laptop for uni (mechanical engineering), any recommendations? Do I really need a big heavy gaming laptop? Cos the Dell G5/7 is quite heavy to carry about

[@JarrodsTech]

I don't know what sort of programs you need to run for your classes, but you could definitely get away with something much thinner and lighter if your just typing documents and browsing the internet without playing any games for instance

[@FluffyUnicornXR]

Jarrod'sTech we’re gonna be running, autocad, solidworks, matlab, etc.

[@JarrodsTech]

I don't have experience with any of those programs myself, so probably worth finding benchmarks / if the applications suggest any specific hardware, but most laptops have 8750H/1050Ti graphics these days and honestly those specs should cover off anything well. Most will be similar in size and weight to the G5 unless you pay more to go thinner like an MSI GS65/Aero 15x for instance.

[@FluffyUnicornXR]

Jarrod'sTech thanks man :^)

[@JarrodsTech]

No problem, good luck!

[@blindtreeman8052]

5 years now and I'm surprised it hasn't died on me yet(I fried it's motherboard between year 1 and 2, but warranty covered it)

[@SoniyaKim]

is this loud? does it make a loud fan noise?

[@JarrodsTech]

You can listen for yourself at 8:04, pretty average compared to other laptops.

[@katiec5248]

What's the difference between 2017 model and 2018 model

[@JarrodsTech]

I have a video on the fx504 on the channel, very similar but with 8th gen CPUs which are more power hungry, and as a result there is a large power limit in place which prevents full performance in multicore load resulting in various problems, I've outlined them in that review if you're after more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2Kld6yNj6x3p5Y

[@ronabarintos7216]

Bro what can u say about Alienware laptop? Is it true that there prone on overheating especially the Alienware 15 r3?

[@JarrodsTech]

I've only ever had one for testing so far, the 13 R3, and I had no overheating there even while under stress test. I haven't used the 15 R3 yet, hoping to get the 15" models soon, just waiting for them to have some review units available.

[@mhpmax6811]

I have this laptop its good but I would recomend it.

[@JarrodsTech]

Thanks for the recommendation, it's good to have other people who have it share their thoughts too 👍

[@LNNYY]

How is the fan noise? In medium usage? Like music production?

[@SaravanaKumar-sh1rs]

Hey jarred,i recently bought a dell 7577(1050ti with i7 7700hq).After some light gaming sessions i installed gpuz to know the temp limit of my gpu and it is set at 85.should i be concerned about the temp limit causing throttling issues in the future?i cant change the thermal paste as it will void my warranty.is there any way to bypass the temp limit of the gpu?

[@JarrodsTech]

Not sure about bypassing the limit, I think usually that's configured in firmware so not sure about changing it. Personally I think 85c is fine, most of the laptops I've tested the GPU doesn't really rise too far above 70c anyway, generally the CPU is hotter and more of a concern. If you're actually being throttled though aside from repasting you could attempt to undervolt it, I've heard that can help lower GPU temperatures, personally I've never had any luck with it.

[@SaravanaKumar-sh1rs]

@@JarrodsTech kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYnFk3-vpbOpftk pls do take a look at this video.This guy has the same laptop as me and his gpu temp is hitting 80.Thats why i was concerned.Tried undervolting but didnt notice any considerable change in the temps while gaming.i was hitting 85-90c on the cpu when gaming for an hour.

[@JarrodsTech]

Probably not much you can do then without trying to repaste it. Either way no major issues running at 80c if there's not throttling taking place.

[@ManojYadav-fr4kf]

7700hq gtx 1050ti or 8300h gtx 1050,which combination better for video editing?

[@JarrodsTech]

Hmm probably the 8300H/1050, I have another video comparing the 7700HQ vs 8300H and in my tests in general the 8300H was around 10% better. From my time editing with Adobe Premiere, better CPU is more useful in terms of both editing and export times over GPU improvements.

Hello, i want to know if this laptop is pretty good for studying architecture or is best the hp omen 15 or acer nitro 5 i know that is best a workstation but in my country is more cheap a laptop gamer than a workstation, i sorry if this Comment this misspelled . I hope your most prompt response Thanks you

[@JarrodsTech]

Not really sure what sort of applications you'd be using, but maybe you can find benchmarks of how well it runs on this hardware to get an idea of what to expect? Haven't used the Acer Nitro (may have one coming to me soon though) or any HP laptops yet so can't really comment myself. In terms of specs though this is pretty decent for CPU, but not excellent for GPU, though that may be fine for your applications and how much they benefit from GPU acceleration.

[@juanestebanortizduque3873]

Ok, thanks you

[@JarrodsTech]

No problem!

[@Time4House]

how do i use hdmi, it wont show on external monitor

[@Poetically_Incorrect]

is it better than fx553 or fx504??

[@JarrodsTech]

Technically the FX504 should perform better, even the i5-8300H is better than the i7-7700HQ (I compared these here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zmenc5eZg76kgbs), although I did have some serious throttling issues noted in my FX504 review (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2Kld6yNj6x3p5Y) although apparently those have been fixed a bit with newer BIOS, I don't have it anymore so can't test. As for the FX553, I can't really say as I've never had it to test.

[@DanCoastie]

Would this work well for Planet Coaster

[@JarrodsTech]

Honestly no clue I don't know anything about that game, you'd have to check other benchmarks of it running on similar hardware.

[@moistenedeel4791]

my fx503 with 1060 has really poor gaming performance for some reason. is there any reason for this?

[@JarrodsTech]

My guess is single channel memory (1x memory stick), or you're playing on battery. If so, plug into wall power for best performance, and upgrade to a second memory stick in dual channel for around 30% better performance, it will vary by game though.

[@moistenedeel4791]

Jarrod'sTech i always game plugged in but it constantly flickers between on battery/plugged in under load. Also getting like 20 fps on average on max settings in skyrim when i should realistically be getting way over 60

How many aussie dollars did this cost you? Thanks Jarrod

[@JarrodsTech]

It was sent over for review for a few weeks so I didn't pay for it myself, so I can only really go on the AU pricing available on sites like Scorptec.

[@nasrmohammed2287]

If I’m buying off amazon.com not .au is it worth it with all the tax and duty charges? Also, how would I calculate the total end cost? Thanks mate

[@JarrodsTech]

I think it's just a flat 10% on top of the total price for GST, so that plus shipping, at least as far as I know, although I thought amazon.com stopped shipping to Australia recently due to our tax changes.
