You’re videos helped me get a better understand of our laptop! Don’t listen to that fool my friend you’re videos are very helpful!

[@XxViciousxX]

Don't worry I'm not going to listen to him He just kind of irritated me so I had to vent. I'm not going to let a loser like that stop me from having fun making my KZbin videos and helping people out.

[@chrisclark6705]

You are a legend. I work offshore and its the weekend. Nowhere around can sort this for me. Because of your video I was able to do it myself and now I can be enjoying playijg Star Citizen instead of staring at the boring television all weekend. Giving you a sub, you deserve it. Saved me £60 ❤

[@XxViciousxX]

Well, I'm glad my video helped you out, and thank you very much for the sub I greatly appreciate it.

[@chrisclark6705]

@@XxViciousxX When i opened it up it was caked in dust. Its been building up for over a year! It was loud even when idling lol. Glad its all sorted now. So far it hasnt shut down too *touch wood*

[@chrisclark6705]

Returned 9 months later to re-learn how to dust my laptop again. Useful advice as always. My laptop shut down and started overheating. Odds on its likely just dust buildup right?

[@AMALJITH.A]

Bro your videos gave me the courage to open my laptop up to clean the fans and install new ram and if you haven't shown me how to disconnect the light bar cable properly I would have tried to just take it out without pulling that little black cap up lol. Honestly, I don't want to give my laptop to a shop to do the repaste, if they mess things up the loss is only mine, I already put your thermal repasting,ssd installation video's in my Playlist it gonna come in handy in the future😁 As for the people discouraging you ignore them. You're laptop videos Helped me a lot. you have my full support bro🫡

[@XxViciousxX]

Well I'm glad that my KZbin channel is helping people like you out That is why I made it in the first place I really shouldn't let people like that one guy even bother me. But sometimes it's hard to not let people get under your skin He was probably just trolling anyway. His whole you have to go to college to know how to do anything Just seemed kind of stupid.

[@Liamzoftw]

Ngl to you y're a life savior ... i got the same laptop it shuts down after overheating and i followed the steps i got it cleaned up and it runs smooth af thanks a lot mate i appreciate you sharing the knowledge 🙏

thank you, i will need this soon

You're very welcome.

[@a65tesla]

The video is excellent and informative, but we noticed that you did not disconnect the battery from the board, we recommend disconnecting the battery in the future so that if something happens you don’t accidentally burn the motherboard, We wish you success in the repairs)

[@XxViciousxX]

Thank you very much. I might have mentioned it but I don't in every video so I might not have. But the only reason I don't disconnect the battery is when I was about 12-13 with my first laptop I broke the connector for the battery off the motherboard. Was upgrading the RAM and instructions told me to disconnect battery but broke it so after that I haven't ever disconnected the battery of anything I work on. I just remind myself that it's essentially an electronic bomb and I have to be careful or I'll fry it.

[@jacobrobbins2326]

dont even give them the attention bro its not even worth it but i been watching you for a hot minute and from what ive seen you know what your talking about

[@XxViciousxX]

That's good advice plus I'm always honest when I don't know how to do something.

[@getualife1932]

I have the same laptop and one thing I wanted to let you know which it seems you no longer have to worry about is the screw on the bottom right at 6:58 isn’t meant too come out. But there should be no harm done if you already took it out for anyone following along.

[@XxViciousxX]

For sure it sued to have a little clip that prevented it from coming out. Luckily the screw looks slightly different than all the rest. I was pretty sure mentioned that but maybe I did mention it in another video and did not in this one.

[@shaanjaglan]

Hey, Thanks For the Videos, Just Asking, Can You make a Playlist Of all Asus G15 Advantage Edition Repasting and Upgrading Videos?

[@XxViciousxX]

I could probably do that I have to do a bunch of typing up of descriptions today so after I'm done with that maybe I could go and do some playlists too.

[@roshanroy6421]

Thanks for the help bruv I really appreciate it 🤌🙇‍♂️

[@XxViciousxX]

You're very welcome.

[@reddawn7128]

Dont listen to them you got great videos

[@XxViciousxX]

I won't listen to him I just kind of wanted to make this video Because even though he was being an ass he did make a few good points so I wanted to do an updated video. But that guy was probably just mostly trolling with his you have to have a college education to make KZbin videos like this mentality. Because if he really thought like that I would have to assume he would be on every single KZbinrs page saying the same thing cuz I have a feeling most of the big time KZbinrs that do computer stuff don't have any college education in that field either They just learned by doing like I did.

[@Trusttheprocess927]

The asus rog strix g15 advantage edition is a really nice laptop. Got mine in 2021 February. I would say I’ve played video games on it every single night since then (minus times I was on vacation and what not) and still it has not slowed down on me. I play most games at medium to maximum graphic settings. My favorite game modern warfare 2019 I run at almost all high settings and consistently get 170-200 fps, depending on the map size

[@XxViciousxX]

It is a really nice laptop I mostly use mine for eSports games at friends houses when I'm not making KZbin videos with it. But it does seem to handle other kind of games quite well though some of these newer games coming out are kind of starting to push it to the limit but thankfully there's FSR for that.

[@Trusttheprocess927]

@@XxViciousxX yeah that’s true. Warzone 2 runs at a lot lower fps, same with mwIII. I played the beta the other day still was getting decent fps 120-140 on multiplayer warzone 2 normally 90 fps

[@Trusttheprocess927]

@@XxViciousxX I’ve never used amd fsr. Does it really help ?

[@XxViciousxX]

@@Trusttheprocess927 It can improve performance without dropping the resolution and making the game look bad. But it is not perfect sometimes just dropping the resolution down looks better. It also is not great at anything less than 1440p. Using it on a base resolution of 1080 or 720 makes the game look bad. That's why I tend to not use it much on the laptop unless I'm at a base resolution of 1440p. Then I generally use quality FSR which should be in between 1080p and 1440p.

[@Trusttheprocess927]

@@XxViciousxX fair enough. My monitor is 1080p so I’m not going to mess with it. I’ve really been wanting to build a desktop, though. Thinking about using the laptop when I travel from now on

[@Trusttheprocess927]

Just took my fans out for the first time holy smokes it’s nasty

[@iz5808]

It's alright mate. We don't have to always know the best practices, for the most part animals learn them hard way facing some shit, or simply they're born with them thanks to the natural selection and millions years of evolution. You gotta look at them in a wide picture, keep it up man.

[@XxViciousxX]

Yeah really should have just ignored him and just did my own thing. I get way more comments from people saying I helped them vs that one guy hating.

[@reddawn7128]

So i ordered the pcm paste and pad the the graphite pad works wonders from thermal grizzly

[@XxViciousxX]

I have the Honeywell version of the phase change pad on the way but I have never tried the graphite pads yet.

One question brother, has everything been alright with this laptop? I saw a fantastic price on it, but it using liquid metal scares me, have you been moving it around on a backpack maybe, no issues?

[@XxViciousxX]

In all the time I had LM I never had an issue but recently changed to PTM phase change pads as people were curious about how they perform. Plus I did not want o redo the LM again as every time I have tried to redo it I can't get temps back to the way they were. But only messed with it for a KZbin video it was not necessary to mess with the LM at all.

[@fenix_tx_1342]

@@XxViciousxX cool, thanks for the response bro, have you not had any issues with crashes or rebooting? I have seen some people report that, maybe it has been fixed by this point though.

[@XxViciousxX]

@@fenix_tx_1342 I got super lucky and never had any issues with that either mines been very reliable. The only issues I ever ran into was due to running beta drivers to test the latest games but that's not the laptops fault at all.

[@AldoDavis-vz4hb]

Can I try the vacuum part without taking off the fans? I’m kinda scared to remove them 💀. Can I just blow air through fan to the exhaust to unclog it while holding the fan?

[@XxViciousxX]

Unfortunately the dust won't have anywhere to go I tried being lazy because I did not want to take out fans either. But that's the only way to really get the dust out.

Well you did everything right then The only thing I didn't do is I didn't disconnect the battery cuz that's not explained I had bad memories with that.

[@Priyajit_Ghosh]

Sorry to hear about that a$$hole comment. If you have noticed, I have found you in approx July-august of 2022 and comment on most of your videos frequently. I would have never done that if your videos weren't helpful or interesting. So Cheer Up! I made my purchase decision from your videos only and bought it in October 2022. And when it comes to this laptop, you are the only one I can rely on. Whatever videos other KZbinrs have are of the 1st one month of the laptop's launch. But what about Recent Game's FPS? What about longevity? What about the small issues and bugs of this laptop? No other KZbinrs can answer this except you! Just like the previous week I made a request to you to do a battery test and you did it! I was really happy! And I don't think one needs an Engineering degree to make KZbin videos. You are "testing" Asus Rog Strix G15 Advantage Edition laptop, not "manufacturing" it. So that a$$hole's logic is totally invalid. Please don't stop making videos on this laptop! You are really a cool guy. And thanks for all those videos you made.

[@XxViciousxX]

I definitely noticed you've been in most comments since I started getting popular with this laptop. I figured I could do stuff that the big KZbinrs can't They have to go on to the next thing where I can just keep testing and figuring out stuff at my own pace and help people along the way. I definitely do not plan on stopping making videos I do plan on getting the next version of the AMD advantage laptop from Asus. But I will still make videos with this guy too. The thing will literally have to not be able to hit 30 FPS in all games before I stop making videos on it lol.

What do you advise : do we need to do this every 6 months ?

I would say that's about right. Unless you live in a very dusty environment then it might be beneficial to do every other month.

That's completely normal mines been doing that plus some for over a year and it's still running well. As long as it doesn't get over 105c, it will throttle back performance at that point, though I have never seen mine do that.
