Asus G14 Hot CPU (Registry) Fix

[@AyeThatsHandsomePete]

THANK YOU! I’ve had a different Asus for almost a year that would clock in around 90 degrees Celsius running fifteen year old games and over heating. This seems to have fixed it.

[@MikeMu]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Good to know that this solves issues for other Asus notebooks too.

[@nabokus]

Thank you so much! Just got this laptop, spent so much money and got worried about overheating issue a lot. As soon as I Disabled that thing, temps dropped from 85 to 55-60

[@KohanKetsu]

Omg omg thank you! Before I found this vid I could only game on my zephurus for about 30-45 minutes before my GPU hit 75 degrees Celsius.

[@double07r21]

Thank you 100000 times thanks . My computer is working while connected to charger. Prior to this fix it was constant BSOD ,freezing .

[@MikeMu]

YW. You may need to check out your fans and make sure they are working well and not clogged with dust, etc. I had to change mine.

[@radifuddinahmed6650]

Thank you so much. This really helped to save my battery life and the laptop is a lot cooler than before.

[@jeancampos5910]

Its good for temperature but loss fps in games, i fixed it with a good refrigeration, thermal grizzy extreme and thermal pads 0.5mm in chips modules . Its makes 95C to 80C in processor playing games...

[@DesertPunks]

Can you lay out your setup? I'm concerned with my temperatures

[@goldens9530]

wow that really helped my laptop im glad i did that i disabled mine because it was really hot when i was gaming !!

[@marcuscromwell3369]

Press the Windows key + X, right-click on either Command Prompt or PowerShell, and choose run as administrator. Type in the following command (in one line), and press Enter afterward: powercfg.exe -attributes sub_processor perfboostmode -attrib_hide After you’ve made the settings visible, you can find the new option in the Advanced Power Options dialog.

[@lllandstm3768]

god bless you i literally burned my leg everytime i used this until now

[@JoeGess]

Thanks for the help! Hopefully this will reduce the Temp while playing demanding games! :)

[@aaro9761]

hope youre having a great life my man, thank you

[@Atrainmar]

If you want to keep Temps low gaming, do the registry edit and Armory Crate to Windows Mode. Performance and Turbo mode have stock overstocks that override. Many games are different so you'll sometimes need the cpu boost hence you can just switch in Armory Crate and keep on gaming.

[@PopaSergiuMihai]

Thanks a lot! I changed it for Silence and Balanced, but apparently while gaming was auto switching somehow to Performance, which was hidden, so did not see results initially. Maybe other people that are not seeing result have the same thing going on and did not notice. So also on performance mode i disabled boost and wow, in cinebench and other cpu stress test, cpu temp never goes above 67 degrees, and while gaming, cpu and gpu never go above 74 degrees (previously 80+ degrees, even 90 for short spikes)!

[@hameedayanniyi1297]

How did you disable boost for performance please

[@mrdh338]

i was looking for these setting alot thanx man

[@agustinmadrigal2954]

Many Thanks Mate

[@curlzzz]

my power settings shows "process power management" after the regedit and four other settings why doesn't it show like 10 different options for power settings?

[@narenprakash6732]

Did this too my Intel asus M15. Used to run in 80s now its in 45-60s

[@josephlindley41]

been running it at 90 degrees for bout 2 weeks hope fully ain't damaged

[@MikeMu]

🔥! Fan! Cooler!

[@velse9869]

After 2 weeks the g14 starts heating up again, have you run into this issue?

[@MikeMu]

Playing games or Crypto mining? I've only been doing crypto on my laptop lately and so far its fine with my air cooler. I just set it and leave it alone.

[@Scribbleehead]

Did you fix it?

[@prabhuduttanayak6793]

Exactly.... I think to tackle this problem all you have to do is keep your laptop always updated in everything like -MyAsus, Microsoft Store and it's apps, nvidia drivers, that rog customizing app,windows... Etc. Then clear your cache memoy every week

[@2ia18_meutiaadindaalkautsa6]

same.... did u already fix it?

[@tmh1973]

Hi, do cooling pads really work? Some say they push dust into the laptop making the problem worse in the long run.

[@MikeMu]

I use one, and it works great. Good idea to blow out the dust every once in a while. I also use a few air filters around the house to keep dust more in check.

[@maneaeduard9335]

thanks a lot!

[@nathancaban8]

*VR GAMERS* I have issues where the framerate drops SIGNIFICANTLY. Unplayable levels. super choppy, glitchy, sometimes even crashes. Not the headset, or the network or the games. Confirmed. My temps while running games are almost never below 90 c Tried this registry fix but temps still running high. Ill be buying a cooling pad soon, for sure.

[@BigWaterDrinker]

Mine still gets hot I don't get it I tried everything had this laptop for almost a year. I think I'm gonna try repasting it and cleaning it and see if that helps.

[@prabhuduttanayak6793]

I hate this laptop, my worst decision of life to purchase this laptop!

[@notExolz]

@@prabhuduttanayak6793 man seems like you had a bad one I’m enjoying mine and it’s packing a punch

[@prabhuduttanayak6793]

@@notExolz I purchased it a year back, may be you have a better and updated version. Mine gets hot sometimes for weeks and sometimes it's fine for weeks, this inconsistency makes me mad.

[@notExolz]

@@prabhuduttanayak6793 have you tried using a cooling pad? I can play games like war zone at a reasonable temperature

[@jonapinto6]

@@prabhuduttanayak6793 the same happens to me. I would like to think that it is after a Windows update that things change because a month ago my battery life was up to 7 hours (normal office use) with no heating issue and now it lasts only for 1.5 hours and heating as hell. The same happened 3-4 months ago.

[@manzencow9582]

My cpu Temps literally go up to 98° sometimes and the fps just drops until I switch into a different mode

[@chitownmonster05]

do you set it across all profiles (Balanced, turbo, performance, etc)?

[@labdhidoshi8200]

I have the 2021 model as well and it gets pretty hot even with just a few websites open on the browser. Does this aggressive mode explain it?

[@MikeMu]

Yes

[@notExolz]

Yeah disabling that will help temps. Also being on silent mode while doing simple tasks keeps it cool and quiet

[@blahblah77124]

I'm facing an issue with asus rog g15 can you or anyone please help In armory crate it show gpu usage 0 and frequency = power saving mode

[@KazeyoVolleyball]

What if I wanted to Stream while I play these games? Would I still want the settings to be disabled?

[@ronaldjdonald6003]

I lost you once u went to the power saving mode mine isn't the same now I have no clue because it wasn't a precise step by step

[@MikeMu]

What part of the time stamp?

[@hameedayanniyi1297]

Please I hope I'm not the only person with the wifi problem... Whenever I'm using the internet my g14 2021 version btw gets veeery hot and my battery drains in an hour 45 mins... Whyyyy please anyway I can fix this

[@MikeMu]

That’s an odd problem. If you think it is Wi-Fi, you can change the chip. Takes a few minutes with a good screwdriver set and steady hands.

[@hameedayanniyi1297]

@@MikeMu okay thanks... Don't think I'll be able to do that anytime soon😂😂... So the update now after running around KZbin asking this same question is that my silent mode wasn't working right... Mainly cuz of that software defect Asus have (someone mentioned so) of when you switch too fast or too frequently between silent and performance or windows... So you have to like select silent turn off the computer on it again wait for a few minutes then leave it on or something I didn't really understand but the fix I used was that I activate silent then sleep my system for like almost two days I repeated this procedure so now my silent mode works normally with wifi internet only like 3 hour drop which is normal depending on what I'm doing it's lasting 4hours 30mins with browsing so I'm kinda happy at least

[@dimitriognibene4092]

maybe decrease the minimum processor state

[@johnave4545]

Can i do this with intel cpu?

[@psx1986]

Will this method work on the 2022 G14 running a Ryzen 9 and 6700s gpu?

[@MikeMu]

Yes

[@humblenoble8537]

Hi! I have Asus ROG Zephyrus g14 ga401ii-he046t (1920x1080, AMD Ryzen 7 2.9 ГГц, RAM 16 ГБ, SSD 512 ГБ, GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, Win10 Home). Just downloaded NFS Heat, disabled Turbo Boost and still the temperature is about 88 C° after 20 minutes of gameplay. Is that ok or…?!

[@MikeMu]

Double check the settings have stuck. Possible you might have missed something else. I use an external cooler with mine at all times even after this mod. Also doesn't hurt to blow out the dust.

[@humblenoble8537]

@@MikeMu thx!!!

[@passintogracegoldenyearnin6310]

Why wouldn't you just go into Armoury Crate and run in Manual Mode with a wattage cap? You can even use the crate's resource monitor to track clock speeds and temperatures. My fan curve is usually maxed at 60% at 80C and I get about 10% better FPS than in Turbo mode. Depending the game it will use either a couple cores at 4.2 GHz or more, or go heavy multicore at 3.5-3.7GHz with lowered temps and fan noise. It goes as low as a 15W cap so you can find a sweet spot for power savings and lowered temps in any game, and it takes 10sec to change by hand at any time.

[@brandonhernandez3995]

So I play warzone and my g14 gets at like 85c but it’s on 35w. Doing this will help it get cooler and still have good frames?

[@brandonhernandez3995]

What are the best w number to play on?

[@brandonhernandez3995]

Also one more question. Is it alright to play the g14 while charging for the whole day? If it’s bad is there a way to make it stop at a battery percentage?

[@passintogracegoldenyearnin6310]

@@brandonhernandez3995 It's not that bad to stay plugged in even for weeks, but yes limiting max charge would be good then. MyASUS has a charging limit option, I have mine set to 60%. Which is about 7hrs of reliable screen-on time for me with Firefox, Silent Mode, iGPU Mode, brightness half and sound and wireless on. Depends how hard you push it. To your other question, my favorite wattage in Manual mode is about 25W CPU. But even as low as 15W still usually shows clocks above 3GHz which puts you above disabling boost.

[@brandonhernandez3995]

Pass Into Grace Golden Yearning and if I do that but it’s still charging while it’s at 60% the max battery life won’t be messed up right?

[@CharlieSpecter]

Should I do this on the 2021 model? I just got it yesterday and it gets pretty hot ~86 c while playing war zone

[@MikeMu]

Yes. Do this and get a laptop cooler.

[@likealyte8889]

Did this work for your 2021 model? How was the performance afterwards?

[@passintogracegoldenyearnin6310]

Just go to Armoury Crate, Manual Mode, reduce max CPU wattage to like 25W. Then make sure the fan curves for CPU and GPU hit like 60% at or before 80c. Then hit apply. Open your game again and compare. You'll still have some boost and the cooler CPU may take some heat off the GPU also.

[@user72579]

86 c?!?! Im geting 95 c on warzone low settings

[@passintogracegoldenyearnin6310]

@@user72579 Still trying to understand this....it's almost 200GB, badly optimized and runs like a pig even on med-high end PCs (g14's about middle tier gaming hardware) due to being CPU limited. The most common fix people mention on the g14 (2020) is to limit CPU to 3GHz which cools you down by being so slow it also limits your GPU usage. On the 2021 model you have Manual option which allows you to limit watts on CPU and let it decide how to use them, which lowers temps and sometimes increases FPS. And the GPU settings include both overclocking and underclocking (Power Saver slider). And you have reliable, manual fan controls you can set. If anyone wants to play Warzone on a 2020 g14, yes they should look at disabling CPU boost and/or underclocking the GPU in MSI Afterburner to control temps. If anyone wants to play Warzone on the 2021 model they should be able to do it with some fiddling in Manual mode, no registry edits or third party software. Armoury Crate also has a nice resource monitor buried in the System tab, with up to a 10min history of whatever stats you want displayed. (temps, clocks, usage % etc) And the monitor lets you record and replay sensor history so you can see if your speed dropped due to overheating.

[@thatbeetus1912]

barely does anything

[@Ghost-wz7tc]

Barely made a difference for me :\

Double-check the settings stuck. Also check your vents, clean them out with an air duster.

[@MikeMu]

@@prabhuduttanayak6793 I also added a cooling pad (forced air induction version), but primarily for heavy crunching while I had it mining Crypto. Keeps temperatures cool. For gaming I have a more regular cooling pad and wear noise cancellation headphones.
