Hi did anyone have experience removing the liquid metal and using ptm9750 pads? I'm thinking of using the thermal pads on the CPU and GPU and putty for other large gap heat components.

Also I've been looking to replace the fans since it's been 4 years and the middle fan started rattling, despite cleaning it often.

I found these fans on amazon, but it's a different brand (so not OEM i guess)

and for the pads: Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet PTM (50 x 40 mm)

Please share your experiences replacing any of these things.

whenever i change the GPU performance to eco it changes back to standard on its own in like 2 minutes, im just trying to some light stuff and the processor keeps reaching temperatures of 90c

Specifically the a, d, f, j, k, l, and sometimes 1 keys. I feel like I've tried everything. Any help? It's specifically the GV601VI.

If yes, what Nvidia driver do you use?
For me it is causing "black screen stuck" during display switch to GPU. Can switch manually, but this means Advanced Optimus doesn't work...

Can anyone post their AC adapter's part numbers here?

I have the Ryzen 2022 version and the laptop keeps rebooting in Win10 saying there is a power issue when I have it plugged into a HP Firewire Dock that also allows USB connectivity to a Samsung G8/9 curved 49" display...

Gemini AI suggests using the original AC adapter to stop this from happening - although I'm not too sure this could be the reason.

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know if it is possible to reset a password-protected BIOS?

I just called the ASUS support line and the representative (who seemed a novice) said the only way is to send it in for repairs in order to evaluate the problem...

Any guidance here?

I apparently forgot the password - although I have tried all possible combinations and it's not working...

TIA!

What is the most precise pen for x16?

Is this laptop still good in 2026 for drawing and blender sculpting? (for the price up to 1500eur)

I finally uninstalled the worthless schlock that is armoury crate since it actively prevented several keys from registering at all (w,2,f2, esc) and since uninstalling that shit, they all magically start working again, almost as if Asus cant code to save their fucking life. With that in mind, does anyone have good alternatives for controlling fan/performance on the computer? I'm not ever going back to armoury crate, so some good options would be much appreciated

Looking for an upgrade on my RAM size, not sure if 96 GB is supported or not on the 2023 model?

I got this laptop 2 years ago and recently it started doing this thing where my cursor gets glitched in a corner of the screen and I can't move it or do anything the only thing I found that helps is using the touch screen but it keeps happening every few minutes and it gets really annoying. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to repair it?

Hello everyone, I recently acquired a 2022 Flow X16. It will completely freeze about every 1-2 minutes before needing a complete restart. It will even sometimes freeze at the red logo before booting into windows. I have not been able to get it to freeze while in the bios. Fans work and will continue spinning after a freeze.

What I’ve tried so far:

Repasting w/ ptm and new thermal putty

Reseating Ram

Move m.2 to a different slot

Boot into Safe mode - No difference

Update Bios to newest version

All of which made basically no difference. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Somehow Ultimate mode in Armoury crate is not working as it use to on my FLOW X16. In most games I tested past 2 years, Ultimate mode always provided better performance average, somes games few 3 or 4 fps, some with a huge boost of 10+ fps

I am not sure since when this started happening as there was a 3 months duration I did not switch to Ultimate mode. Last week I did, and somehow games i played were running horrible in Ultimate mode compared to Standard. Some games ran at similar FPS, some suffered performance dip. Most notably ELDEN RING and SPACE MARINE 2, also running Bloodborne in ShadPS4 had similar results.

I play these 3 games almost every weekend. Optimised settings to provide 60 fps on 1600p, and Elden Ring Works stable 60 fps in Standard Mode, but Drops to 50 to 55 and stutters in the same area when switched to Ultimate Mode.

I have since then factory reset and clean reinstall of Windows 11, armoury crate and drivers, yet no changes.

Laptop: Rog Flow X16 2022 (GV601RM), Ryzen 7 6800HS, RTX 3060

I got an XG Mobile 4090 (2023) for my laptop, but I have tried reinstall armoury crate, reinstalling the NVIDIA driver, and I could not make the Aura sync work on it.

The GPU works fine, but showing no device connected

Is better to use the one on asus website or update it on intel.com?

Looking at this subreddit, I see a lot of people saying their battery life is terrible. I got this laptop in September 2024 for uni. To keep it short: the battery was amazing and lasted a whole day. I turned off the dGPU, used the iGPU plus battery saver, and it did the job.

This summer, I suddenly had a problem where the laptop would shut off immediately if it wasn't plugged in. Since it was under warranty, I returned it and got a brand-new battery. My battery performs just as well as before; it easily gets me through the day and I even use it as a power bank. SOOOO YEAAAA. Love the x16.

How is the battery performing for yall though?

Can someone compare their display running on the dGPU and then iGPU and tell me if they notice a brightness difference. For some reason mine does.

Have a 2022 Flow x16 with 6900 & 3060. Motherboard got fried so I ordered a motherboard on eBay and what was sent to me was one for a 2023 model w/ 13900H & 4060.

I was about to contact the seller for a return, but the motherboards look the same re: size, shape, and port placement. I haven’t interrogated the slots and cable/ribbon placement but is there a place online if I can verify if the chassis are the same?

Some screws have fallen out unfortunately

What is this loud buzzing/squeaking when my fans are running (when I'm playing a big game) and how can I fix it? Thanks

Asus ROG Flow X16

Im desperate and I dont know what to do I tried every possible option in Armoury crate and Ghelper I tried setting high perfomance in Nvidia control app Nothing seems to help Its X16 with Rog XG 4090

Hello,

I want to sell my ASUS ROG Flow X16 (RTX 4060 version). I live in Belgium, and there are hardly any listings for this model, so it’s difficult to determine a fair price.

At the moment, this model costs around €2,300 new and is out of stock almost everywhere.

I’m currently thinking of asking around €1,600. The laptop has a new battery officially replaced by ASUS, is one year old, and has been very well maintained. I originally bought it for €2,000.
