[@TechWithSean]

After changing anything in Manual mode in Armory crate and applying your settings, you will need to re-apply your settings in Afterburner because the ASUS GPU settings will overwrite them. I made this video for the M15, but really you can use Afterburner and QuickCPU on almost any gaming laptop!

[@chunkysalads5663]

@@masiv1231 yo, I fixed the problem. Make sure in the settings tab at the very top, you have open on startup, minimise to system tray and leave open in background (or something similar) also make sure to create a new profile, (found right of the settings tabs you used earlier) name it and then press apply. After this on the column on the right with all the changes displayed press apply there asswell and un check the buttons with the settings you dont want changed in the pop up window that will appear. Save, close and restart laptop. Done. Also if you changed any settings in armoury crate, go into after burner and re apply there as otherwise the laptop will override it and use armoury crate instead. Hope that helps and if you need any more help let me know :) This saved my ass dude. £2000 laptop and reaching 80°c on csgo lol. Now I'm at max settings on every game at around 60-70.

[@TonyisToking]

Your videos are seriously underrated. Just one tip, please don't be afraid to over explain steps. I spent a long time slamming my fists on my desk trying to figure out how you moved every point on the voltage curve with one motion. I ended up first trying to move each point individually. Then I tried drag selecting, shift clicking each point (didn't work), then I tried taking a break and coming back... still couldn't figure it out... Had to lookup another video on setting up fan curves specifically... where the guy spent TOO much time explaining steps and after 4 minutes of watching a non moving screen and listening to ramblings... I get the answer, hahaha. It's funny how there is a fine balance between over-explaining and giving the needed information. I think you are very close! Thank you so much for all your help. You encouraged me to check out this open box M15 for $1100 and get it 100% working. Because honestly, these things run rough out of the box... I can see why this guy returned his. My gain :D

Thanks for the vid man. Shoutout from Brazil!

[@rmacsthing8610]

This was fantastic, thank you sir! I went from running at a consistent burn-my-hands-through-the-keyboard 95-100 degrees (CPU with cooling pad) to sustained turboing at 78-82 degrees. My 3DMark score stayed between 7,000-7,100 both before and after with about a 30 point improvement after I turned everything down. I'm thinking this is because I could turbo for the duration without any thermal throttling??? In any case, DRAMATICALLY better thermals and dB without any measurable performance delta. Worth noting that I didn't adjust GPU performance at all and it ran consistently at 80-85 degrees (I'll play around with these settings later). CPU turbo set to 3.8Ghz and minimum at 1.6Ghz. 75 volt offset on CPU. 35 & 40 watt respectively in QuickCPU.

[@TechWithSean]

Yeah many laptops actually get better performance if you tune them down just below the throttling line. This has some shared heat pipes too, so if the CPU goes real hot, it will impact the GPU and that will throttle more also. Plus if the CPU is drawing less power, I think it can push more to the GPU on this machine because of Max Q Dynamic Boost. Thanks for watching ✌️

[@grmn3564]

Hey Sean! My M15 started to have a way slower overall performance, even BSODing when changing the Armory Crate's modes, and unfortunately I've been doing a lot of software changes lately and gotten a bunch of Windows updates and NVIDIA updates in a really short time, so I couldn't notice the exact moment in which this started to happen, in order to track the issue... I would like to know if you got the latest drivers, especially maybe the Nvidia ones, and had a similar issue. I'm still troubleshooting but it's getting hard. And a stupid question, is it possible that if the laptop has been dropped, this could be the consequence? Thanks again a lot for you video, I find myself always coming back to watch it as a basic guide haha

[@paigephilippart7964]

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought my m15 and was worried I was going to have to return it due to the extreme spikes in temp. Your video helped tremendously. Baldur's gate 3 is running well and I haven't even noticed an appreciable drop in performance. Temps are maxing out around high 70's/low 80's. Do you think replacing the thermal paste is worth it? I've read that the QC on such things has been lacking.

[@TechWithSean]

Glad it is helping! I definitely would not replace the thermal paste. This years ROG laptops are using liquid metal on the CPU out of the factory, which should outperform paste. 70s/80s are good temps for a gaming laptops, it’s a totally different ball game than desktop parts.

Hi sean! Quick question: how do you make the name of the differne items (CPU, GPU Model, etc,) appear on the rivatuner window? Thanks!!

[@snipersgetmorehead11]

[RESULTS AT END OF POST] First of all, I’d like to say that I have this laptop & I absolutely love it for gaming & heavy load data analysis. HOWEVER, it does have some heating issues out of the box, which this video helped me deal with quite a bit. After messing around with these tips from the vid, I found the most efficient settings for performance & temperature control(IMO). (1) Go into the BIOS & Offset voltage 70-75(like in video) WHILE IN BIOS, disable Hyper-Threading. (2) In ArmouryCrate, select the manual fan mode & set it so the fans hit 100% above 68deg.(mostly for heavy gaming) (3) IMPORTANT Go into Control Panel > System/Security > Power Opt > Change plan settings > Advanced Power settings > Process Pow. Manage. > Boost mode = disable (The turbo function of the laptop is what makes the temp so high & I’ll explain performance is actually improved w/o it) (4) The Fun Part. Get MSI afterburner; now instead of lowering the curve & creating a straight line, raise the entire curve so that the lowest/left point is now at 1450-1500 instead of 1300. Keeping the same shape as the original curve. (Because Boost is disabled, you are able to Overclock the gpu while still being below the ridiculous level with turbo boost) SIDE NOTE & RESULTS I use a cooling pad & all high performance gaming laptops should. With the fans from the laptop & the pad, it is loud. But if you have a headset you’ll never know. If a game has the option, I select Adaptive Vsync to make the games smoother can reduce temp. RESULTS Using Apex & CSGO as examples(almost all settings on high), out of the box they both had high fps(~130 and ~180 respectively) but the GPU & CPU were steady at 93+ degrees. NOW, Apex runs at 150-160fps, CSGO runs at 180fps+ & both games have the same temps of GPU at 75-80, CPU at 82-85. I know this was long & Ty to any who read the whole thing, I’m just trying to help y’all so you don’t have to spend the hours of trial & error like me lol.

[@2xdialloo]

thankssssssss

[@helpmechangetheworld]

Thanks for the tips! My fans have been behaving erratically, and I need to find ways to lessen the burden, because they don't stay peaking in turbo mode. They sort of just slide down to 6500 RPM from a healthy 8000+ So I'm always running hot! If ever you know why that happens by the way, I wouldn't mind a tip on actually fixing the problem haha!

[@ranzeyy7446]

Thanks. I am getting the same model and I had to search up how to do a good undervolt for the cpu and gpu in this exact model

[@jgrey6517]

Great video, will your settings work with an M16, I9, GTX 3070?

[@russt4779]

Genuine Question: Is this just focused towards user's comfortability on use such as Heat and Noise or is it also beneficial for the laptop's hardware in the long run? Because for me personally, i dont mind the heat or the noise. im more so worried that it could potentially damage my laptop. I have the M15 with 2070 Max Q and running and playing Warzone everyday on Ultra high settings for 6 plus hours a day, i'd see my GPU temp @ 86 C steadily. idk if thats okay for the system for long amounts of time thats why i'm here looking for some thoughts from you guys.

[@madmilldro2657]

I ended up getting one that had a bad left fan. It would start to spin up and bounce up and down shaking the chassis. The laptop vibrated so bad. Fps was terrible due to thermals but if you use turbo mode with 100% fan speed, it went up 30% in performance.

[@iKenFeel]

Could you please upload and upgraded guide for this laptops i think is a great laptop and with just few ppl talking about it. Thanks bro new sub here

[@anibalhuneeus]

Hi Sean! I am currently running an 80 mV undervolt and I have already limited the turbo up to 3.8 GHz, however, I'm not quite understanding how the power limits work. (Clamp limit 1 and clamp limit 2). My quickCPU menu shows both at 135 W (I would assume that's the default value) and only clamp limit 1 appears selected. Could you please develop a bit more in terms of explaining this feature? I assume its the power that is given to the CPU, but i'm not quite sure on why there's two categories and which should be referential values. Also, does lowering power (as volts) have zero impact on performance, or it does?? thanks!!!

[@jaxpon1597]

hey man did you figure this out?

[@dristang]

i have an Asus Rog Strix G15 G512 which I bought just few months ago. It's got intel i7-10750H, GTX 1660 Ti While gaming on silent profile the CPU is maxing out at 77C and GPU hits 78C then throttles. And then when I play on performance or turbo fan modes I get around 88C to 95C on both GPU and CPU. So how much degrees do you think would drop if I undervolt my laptop? I haven't got a cooling pad and also I live in a really hot place where the weather is like 40C (104F)

[@janaka5423]

[@yxsphhh]

ok i doubt anyone can help me but here we go. i have an issue. when i first bought my m15, i quickly found out about the heat issues so i resorted to this video and followed every step. i have a 2060ti in mine and it did work for awhile. great video by the way! ive had all of these settings for about 8 months maybe. i would play gta fivem on 2k very high/ultra settings with ray tracing at 60fps with zero issues and it was very enjoyable and it was extremely consistent at around 70-80 degrees on both cpu and gpu everytime i played. id play forza on 2k ultra settings, same deal. 2 weeks ago, i went on a trip to california and i brought the laptop with me. mind you, the night before i left, i played both games as usual. when i got back two weeks later, the computer is totally tanking in temperatures and im totally clueless. it gets very close to reaching max temps and it reaches it FAST. i had to load up gta v on 1080p and it still got up to 90 degrees cpu and 85 degrees gpu. i went over the whole undervolting and overclocking process again and everything seemed the same except for the core voltage offset which got turned off somehow. im up to date on both afterburner and quickcpu and i have the latest version of windows 10 with the latest graphics card update. i also messed around with fan curves and turbo mode but i ended up using turbo because it didnt change much for me. please help!!

[@TechWithSean]

Hmm, could it be possible that the cooler/heat sink itself got shaken loose during travel? Maybe it isn’t making good contact anymore or maybe one of the fans is dead?

[@yxsphhh]

@@TechWithSean thank you for replying! i will have to check tomorrow. i made sure not to throw my bag around and to handle it with care and i dont recall a time where it got too harsh but i will have to make sure. at idle, today, the cpu reached 65 degrees celsius after booting and sitting for a minute which freaked me out, which normally only reaches around 35 degrees on turbo. at idle it sounds like both fans are running as it sounds like a propeller plane, but one thing i noticed was that the right side exhaust output pressure felt extremely minimal. the left side pushes alot of air but the right side really didnt feel like anything was coming out. im pretty new to this but that just doesnt seem right to me. when i bought my m15 and used it for the first time, one of the fans would make a faint noise if i picked it up and moved it around but it didnt seem to have negative effects so i kinda pushed it under the rug. maybe that could be resurfacing? i havent had much time clean it and i havent for a long time. could cleaning really make that much of a temperature impact? i will check the fan in question tomorrow and the heat sink. thank you for the help!

[@TechWithSean]

The GPU stuff, yes. Not sure about the CPU part, I haven’t had any Ryzen laptops to mess with.

Hi Sean, How to display OverClock hidden in the BIOS... Tks

[@loyq9268]

My screen keeps freezing and I can’t click anything. I just restart and 2 min later it happens again. Could you help me how to fix this

[@Renzettaaaa]

it gave me a warning before I put the manual settings, should I be worried? :(

[@ibaneduardoreyesnoveron3415]

Quick question can I go between silent and Manual profiles with still having the cpu settings and msi settings or do I have to revert every setting

[@TechWithSean]

I think QuickCPU will keep the settings, but you;ll have to re-apply the MSI Afterburner settings after changing stuff in Armory Crate because it will overrride them

[@user-lh5ww6lg6n]

Nice fix, 3500 MHz is still good frequency

[@christopherm.1203]

Would this also work for the Zephyrus G14? I’ve already disabled boost mode in registry editor. Still runs a little too hot for comfort when playing games (around 70C - 80C).

[@vagrantender]

70c to 80c is ideal for gaming.

Have you had any “rattle” sound issues with the fans on the M15? I had one of my fans faintly rattle for a couple of minutes until I cycled it into performance mode for a few minutes and then back into silent mode. Rattle went away and haven’t had in about an hour of use afterwards. The rattle was at about 2800RPM fan speed per the armory crate. Any thoughts on this? Just afraid it might be foreshadowing.

[@TechWithSean]

Was it the fan itself rattling for sure? I thought it had a rattle, but turned out the speakers were vibrating the USB stick that I had plugged in!

[@Sasquatch18]

Tech With Sean about %95 it was the fan or at least a by product of the fan operating. When using the labtop, it was the right side fan. I did notice that when I picked up the and tilted it side to side the noise went away. But when I placed it back down the noise returned until I ran the fans at high speed for a few minutes and then it went away. It was a faint noise, but it was there. I guess I’ll see if I can duplicate it soon and go from there. Thanks for the reply so quick! Sub’d!!

[@TechWithSean]

Thanks - No prob just thought I’d ask! Jarrods Tech had also mentioned that on his unit the palm rest could rattle some at high volume (I guess that’s one drawback of good speakers)

[@Andithemago]

If i underbolt, it either doesn't turn on or it freezes. 70-50 mV it doesnt start and 50-25 it freezes. What can i do??

[@VishalSharma-sy8kk]

Would this have a affect on the longevity of this system? I mean, it won't mess up my pc after some years?

[@TechWithSean]

Nope, if anything, running lower voltages and temperatures should make it last longer.

[@VishalSharma-sy8kk]

Damn you are fast!😂 Thanks man👍

[@jordanrw260]

How do your settings compare to just using the silent mode? I'm seeing silent mode handle any game no problem with near silence and Temps in the mid 70s using a cooling pad.

[@TechWithSean]

These settings will let the GPU clock significantly higher than silent mode, I believe

[@veganmagick7251]

Same this is what I do Jordan

[@he4d89]

This video is awesome man! I just recently bought this laptop, and the noise/heat is insane so having this guide on turning it down helped immensely, thank you. I have a somewhat related question. I've setup the manual profile in Armoury Crate for the fan curves like you have, but when I don't have the laptop plugged in it forces the profile into the "Performance" profile so the manual curves are gone, and it says "This mode is currently unavailable on your PC" when I try to put it back to the manual profile. Is there a way to stop this that isn't uninstalling Armoury Crate that you know of?

[@TechWithSean]

I don’t think that Turbo or Manual profiles are options on battery power because they require more power than it can deliver without the AC adapter. On battery I use the “windows” plan typically.

[@passageandvoyage6486]

what about 1660ti model can i copy paste your setting to undervolt 1660ti

[@Pique12]

I do not have the dynamic boost option in the control panel. 1660ti mq Asus g14. how to disable this option?

[@Ian-ne5hz]

I don't have max-q dynamic boost option in nvidia control panel

[@TwitchtvNerdaniel]

its dangerous put fan always 50/70% for more cooling?

[@youhavefood1112]

How do I run games on 60fps with battery mode?? Please help

[@Z3_Nik]

Hey can someone help me in explaining me the base clock offset and the memory clock offset my model is the rog ga502du base clock at 1140Mhz like i got just sliders in the armoury crate. Thanks rlllly much if someone explain it to me cos i can't find any video on this only English video with indians speaking.

Hi Sean, I'm having some trouble with this laptop. Actually both me and my girlfriend are experiencing the same issue. Our laptops power on but windows won't boot up nor does the screen turn on. I've had this computer for about a month and loved it so far up until now. I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you!

[@TechWithSean]

Are the batteries dead? You should at least see the BIOS splash screen if there is a problem with Windows.

[@salvatoretumminelli8902]

@@TechWithSean No the was fully charged and plugged in. Everything turns on but the screen. I tried using the combo "windows key + ctrl + shift + b" to reset the gpu driver which actually worked once but this is happening everytime I go to turn it on after a shutdown/restart and now that combo won't work for me at all

[@salvatoretumminelli8902]

@@TechWithSean Phew after a couple of hours I got it to boot up again. I'm so scared to turn it back off again though lol. I'm at loss of what I should do to troubleshoot this issue since most of my options require me to restart my pc which it most likely won't turn back on again haha this is crazy. Sorry if I'm bothering you I just thought you may be as curious as I am about this. If it's able to boot up after a few dozen tries that would most likely mean it's a software issue right? Maybe a bad driver?

[@byron_ald]

@@salvatoretumminelli8902 Hey did you ever fix this issue? I'm experiencing the same thing (I think) the keyboard lights up and everything except the screen, so whenever that happens I have to turn it off and on again using the power button
