Hi Jimbo mate, will check the Ryzen one out thanks mate, is the cooling ok on that?

Hey guys So after using a Rog Strix laptop for the past 12 months and putting up with the awful fan and heat issues for this time, I am now looking for a new gaming laptop. I can't quite find what I need without going over £2000. I was hoping to get an AMD laptop this time, with a decent...

Yeah brand new mate. Found a buyer for the junk laptop, never touching Asus again, joke of a company.

Damn, I have never touched Liquid Metal you see mate, but I know it isn't doing a good job. And I know guys to stay away from gaming laptops, like I said it was for my girlfriend. Has a 2070 and m.2, the specs are fine, just the cooling was abysmal. So this liquid metal, isn't just a case of...

Following on from this thread https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/threads/awful-asus-rog-laptop-help.18927199/ Can someone clear up the best way to remove and replace liquid metal, as it is doing a terrible job.

Anyone any clue about removing the liquid metal?

I will do Acme but for now what is the best way to remove the liquid metal mate? Also I have not been on this site for a while, I have having serious search problems. Losing pages, having to refresh etc. Am I missing something here?

I get that mate, you are right. However when the laptop runs above 80 degrees at idle, it is very poorly built.

Whats is the easiest way to remove liquid metal from the cpu? I am going to try replacing with thermal compound like i did on the gpu which helped.

Hi Micky, I tried that too, not that we should have too, just shows how lazy Asus are. This thing is getting sold. Garbage.

Hey guys, I bought my girlfriend an Asus Rog Gaming laptop a few months back, and I just can't believe how poor the temperatures are, even sometimes at idle. So I changed the thermal paste on the GPU and it did drop a slight amount, but the CPU already has Liquid Metal installed, but 'the...

Alright then, cheers lads. Will let them know

Hi guys, I have fixed phones before but my mate and girlfriend both need their S10's fixing, and I can't for the life of me find the right parts I need. One of them has lines on so clearly both need changing, and the other is the front glass. Quote to fix in shops is ridiculous, and I have...

My soldering kit is here, came with everything excepy flux. The issue with you guys thinking something has been getting hot does make sense. The charger was boiling hot to touch and connector for some time, until last week i change thermal paste on gpu and cpu and temps on both plummeted. So...

OK thanks, I found a kit on amazon with everything required and it's not too expensive. I am ordering it now, hopefully I can do it, I like a challenge.

I am going to try and fix it myself, and I am quite skilled at most things and I am sure that I will use the soldering bits again if I can learn. Do you guys think I will be able to reuse the same headphone connector that I am soldering? I cant find a replacement.

Hi, no I will need to order a soldering iron, the battery isn't dead mate, I bought a 2nd battery and it is doing the same. I have never soldered before, can someone point me to the right place and tell me what I need, I am not afraid to give it a go. So seems I need a soldering iron, braid and...

Hey guys, So my girlfriends laptop has been shutting off randomly for a while, I changed the battery as I thought it was down to that, but no luck. So after trying different parts and every possible fix I could, I have today noticed that the charger seems to be very intermittent when you touch...

Its the G74SX model.

Hey guys Bit of a random one. I just bought an old Asus Rog laptop off a friend for £200. Was just wondering if I did ok for the price, wasnt sure what to offer him. It's for the girlfriend. Asus Rog G74S with 16gb memory, i7 2670QM, nvidia 560m which I know is a crap card, 500 samsung evo...
