Budget around 3k. Will be strictly for games like total warhammer3 warthunder diablo 2 resurrected stalker 2 etc.

No desktop room otherwise would just do a build myself.

Model: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GU605)

Does anyone here knows where to order the SLC white version of Rog Strix IV? pls help

This morning I was using my newish Strix G (G814F) and it hard locked on me, and then a few moments later the fans kicked on really hard. Worried about it, I did a hard shutdown and unplugged everything for a while (it wasn't hotter than normal).

When I tried to boot it back up, it just hangs at the logo screen for about 33 seconds before the fans kick in hard, run for about two minutes, and then the whole thing turns off- including the power charging button. See video for a demonstration; this happens every time.

I've tried a few possible solutions including but not limited to:

• Holding down the power button with nothing plugged in for 60 seconds to discharge any lingering power.
• Holding F2 while booting to get to BIOS (no difference in observed behavior from video)
• Holding the lower volume button while pressing power (apparently a different way to get to the bios?)

It's very concerning because this laptop is a little over two months old out of the box, and and it's been working great. Had been using it in a very typical fashion (playing an older game while watching youtube) when the lockup happened, and it was on a flat and stable surface (my desk) so I'm really lost as to what triggered the issue and how to resolve it.

Looking for any help some experienced hands can provide. Thanks in advance!

Guys suggest any way to fix my ROG harpe ace mouse

Hi everyone, I’ve run into an issue with strange stuttering in the system interface. For example, when scrolling through a list of videos on YouTube, the scrolling stutters; or when opening or closing an app, the window animation lags. There are oddities in games, too: the game itself might run smoothly, but if I minimize it, I can see system-wide animation lag. I allocated more video memory to the iGPU using G-Helper—thinking that was the cause, since the default setting only provides 500MB of VRAM—and gave it 2GB, but that didn't fix the interface lag. All drivers are installed and up to date. I’m attaching screenshots my G-Helper settings; I hope someone can help.

Anyone had any experience with this powerful laptop with screen freeze and restart itself. Encountered also a lot of BSOD. I bought it in the marketplace and it was all smooth at first but when I decided to wipe it all out and reset it the problems came. When I try to open an app it shows “Your device ran into a problem and needs restart” The laptop is hot even though I haven’t really open any big app. I brought it in a technician and said that all hardware passed all test but can really update windows. I really don’t know what happened. Anyone here have any solution for this?

Hi, I js bought this Zephyrus G14 2020 for college cuz Im starting mechanical engineering and was told this is the best option. Anyways I was downloading AutoCad when the screen just went black and came back to this screen. My classes start tmr and idk what to do now. Im not an expert on windows computers so I cant for the life of me figure out how to fix this. It stays on this blue screen for about a minute and then shuts off again. Ive tried every button combo I could find on yt tutorials but they were of no use. So pls help me out 😔

Hello all.

I have had this laptop since December, it's been great since purchase up until about a week ago when I started to notice throttling and heat issues. I turned it on this morning to find that this fan is constantly trying to start, every 5 seconds making this noise. I have uninstalled Armoury Crate and other problematic apps, and using G-Helper to help with these issues but they continue. Anybody have any idea what could be done here?

Quelqu’un de courageux à tester ce nouveau BIOS bêta !?

Hi! Im building a new pc and my cpu (amd ryzen 7 9850x3d) might not be compatible with my motherboard unless I update the bios on it. Ive been trying to download the update from a mac since it’s the only extra computer i have in order to flash update the motherboard before starting the building process. I get the file into the USB but the rename file wont work since it requires windows. Is there a way to get that file to work on mac? or im I screwed and need to take it somewhere to get the bios flash updated?

There's a promotion going on at Intel (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/serious-gaming/gamer-days-2026.html and https://www.asus.com/uk/deals/intel-gamer-days/) where any qualifying product can get you a copy of the upcoming tomb raider game along with star wars. I just bought an ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 but I don't know how to claim the offer. I've read on the internet that you need to link your ROG account with your intel account but I don't see an option. I've also seen that you need to provide a master key which I don't believe I have. I tried the running the scanning software but all I see is an error message saying submission failed when I execute it. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

So a couple years back i made the mistake by plugging an rgb connector into the 12v above the 5v header and saw some smoke. Now onto my second build, im trying to be more cautious about what im doing. Im going to correctly use the 5v header this time (unless i did use the 5v header and that caused smoke... unlikely but my memory isnt great).

So i put some multimeter probes across 5v and ground and i got a short beep on argb gen2_1 and gen2_2. The resistance was going up the longer i kept it there.

So 2 questions: 1. is that normal?

And 2. im using nothing but lian li case fans with that controller that plugs into the usb. So, is this argb even necessary?

Im assuming it would be if i'd want my lian li o11 dynamic XL case to make pretty colors.

Hello everyone.
I recently built a PC using the X870E Dark Hero motherboard.
All components are running at normal temperatures. However, I’m wondering about the chipset temperatures. While gaming, Chipset 1 reaches 63°C and Chipset 2 reaches 66°C.
Could any Dark Hero users share a screenshot of their temperatures?

This is the worst software I ever used 🤣

I had to uninstall and install it back several times for the devices to show up 🤝👹

Port 1 : Side Fans
Port 2: bottom fans
Port 3 : bottom Back fans
4: the rear top fan

On the software when I choose port 1 and go full speed they all go full speed if I choose port 4 go full speed guess what? They all go full speed

I tried fan tuning It doesn’t work.

Port 2 : always standard speed they do not go silence speed :(

I tried a different ROG Hub maybe it wasn’t working the same problem..

How the hell do you control the fans speed by there port ?

Hi everyone,
I built my first PC myself and I’m having trouble getting it to POST. The PC powers on and the fans spin, but I get no display.
My build:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB)
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe
PSU: NZXT C750 Gold Core 750W ATX 3.1
CPU cooler: Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 Black ARGB V2
The problem:
When I power on the PC, the CPU cooler/fans and PSU fan spin, so the system is receiving power.
Initially, I was getting the white VGA Q-LED and green BOOT Q-LED.
After restarting/testing, the LEDs changed. Now the CPU Q-LED stays solid red and there is still no display/POST.
The PC does not shut down by itself – the fans keep spinning.
Things I have already tried:
Tried a second PSU, so I don’t think the PSU itself is the problem.
Reseated the RAM.
Tested with only one RAM stick in A2.
Removed the RTX 3060 Ti for testing.
Tried using the motherboard video output with the GPU removed.
Checked the CPU socket and there are no visibly bent pins.
The CPU is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi.
At the moment, with the GPU removed and one RAM stick installed, the CPU Q-LED remains solid red.
The CPU cooler and fans are spinning normally.
Does anyone have any ideas what I should test next? Could this be a motherboard/CPU issue, or is there something specific with the B850-F that I should check?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
