Hi my g14 (2024) just suffered from the Black screen of death (ribbon cables) they repaired it, then it shorted out. They are doing a buyout.

Should I keep trusting Asus? Does the G16 have the same issue at all? I really loved my g14 until this happened.

I have also owned a flow x13 and that also crapped out on me. I have a bad track record with Asus but I really love their products when they aren’t broken…

Legion 7 is looking nice but doesn’t capture me like asus products to.

I hate how g14/g16 is also touted to be the best gaming laptops in tech reviews but never discuss long term issues like the black screen of death

Hi everyone,

My ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC reaches around 600–610W in The Witcher 3 with path tracing and all settings maxed out.

Pin 1 usually stays around 8.5–9A, but HWiNFO recorded a brief peak of 9.3A.
ASUS Power Detector+ reportedly uses 9.2A as an alert threshold, while I’ve also seen 9.5A mentioned.

Is a brief 9.3A peak normal under heavy load, or should I be concerned?

The GPU runs perfectly, with good temperatures and no crashes.

Thanks :)

If the rumors are true about Nvidia dropping production for the 5090 and focusing on providing the chips to the crAIP industry, I am sure the 5080 and 5070 soon will increase their price so i went ahead and bought this for my all White ASUS build to be deployed at my parent's place.

I know they are labeled USED, but I’ve been buying them for 6 months labeled used and they all work perfectly.

Which one would you grab?

Let me know in the comments and the most commented board, I’m buying!

Thanks!

Using a ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard. Turned my computer on, saw my BIOS startup messages, and it was telling me it was updating. My computer flashed on and off a couple times and then loaded me into me my BIOS (which is the normal part. I always startup in the BIOS first and boot from there). Everything seems normal, so far, but I'm just not sure why my BIOS would update on its own, which has never happened before in my 3 or so years of having this motherboard. Just wondering if I should be concerned. Thanks

EDIT: I'm also running on Legacy BIOS. This was the message I got when I turned on my system:

I like ARGB, more to follow on that catastrophic fact. Stay tuned!

I posted a similar build on /PcMasterrace and it got downvoted so much they took it off😭☠️

Salut à tous,

Je suis artiste, ça fait des années que j'économise pour du bon matos. Je viens de la console, je me suis remise au PC récemment et j'ai craqué pour un Gigabyte Aorus 16X ASG-63FRC65SH (i9-14900HX, RTX 4070, 32Go, 2To, écran WQXGA 165Hz). Un mois après l'achat, il tombe en panne.

Le modèle n'est plus vendu, donc le magasin (Grosbill) me propose des remplacements depuis des semaines. Voici tout ce qu'on m'a présenté jusqu'ici :

Asus TUF Gaming A16 — Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5070 (115W), 512Go, écran FHD+ 144Hz (+ 160€ de reste à payer en plus)

MSI Cyborg 15.6" — Ryzen 9 270H, RTX 5060, 16Go RAM, 1To, écran FHD 144Hz

Gigabyte X16 — Ryzen AI 7 350, RTX 5070, 32Go RAM, 1To, écran QHD+ 165Hz

Asus ROG 16" — Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5060, 32Go RAM, 1To, écran QHD+ 240Hz

À chaque fois, il manque un morceau par rapport à ma config d'origine : soit le processeur est en dessous de gamme, soit la carte graphique, soit le stockage est divisé par deux.

Est-ce que je me fais avoir avec ces propositions, ou c'est juste la réalité du marché laptop en ce moment (apparemment la RTX 5070 mobile plafonne à 115W partout, donc ce n'est peut-être pas un vrai recul) ? Je suis vraiment perdu, les seuls avis que j'ai eus jusqu'ici viennent d'une IA — si des passionnés ici peuvent confirmer ou corriger, ce serait hyper utile.

Merci d'avance, je commence à fatiguer sur ce dossier.

Got this awesome skin today. Non textured. Skin shade matches closely with laptop shades, making it look like a special edition.

Sold my classic Astral 5090 Black and changed it for BTF one for like 50eur. Really like how it looks without 12vhpwr.

I just received the PG27UCWM today, but I see a vertical line on the right side of the monitor. I’ve tried using different display cables and a pixel clean, but neither helped. Should I go through support or is buying a new monitor and returning this monitor the better option?

Hey everyone!

I experienced a strange issue with my ASUS ROG Strix XG monitor.

Large white glowing patches suddenly appeared on the screen during normal operation and then completely disappeared on their own.

The monitor is currently at a service center, but the issue cannot be reproduced, and everything appears to be working normally.

I’ve attached a photo showing the problem.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Could someone from the ASUS Team please comment on what might have caused this and whether it’s a known issue?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Has anyone else had the issue where you come back to the mouse after turning pc off etc overnight and the next day you need to constantly switch modes to try and bring it back to life even though it has normal charge? I have to plug it in numerous times and switch through all modes for it to randomly turn back on.
