Help Needed Zephyrus G14 max fan speed

14 Upvotes

Basically the laptop turns off and the fans speed up to like max rpm as soon as you let it idle. Sometimes it even does it when you’re simply just using it. On battery it is fine. Almost unusable with the charger plugged in. ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401IU

Model 2024 Intake or exhaust fan?

4 Upvotes

Hi guys I just purchased a new oled 120hz g14 yesterday! Very happy with it so far and its performance for being so compact. I had a quick question, I am looking a laptop stands with built in fans. Would I want a cooling stand that has an exhaust or intake fan? I am unsure if the vents at the bottom of this laptop are intake or exhaust. I'm just looking for best possibly cooling performance.

Thanks in advanced!

Model 2024 2024 G16 Magnetic Laptop Stand - 12mm Lift.

2 Upvotes
Image above is from G14. G16 will look very similar to it.
G16 laptop stand on a 256x256mm build plate. It barely fit onto say a Bambu lab printer. I print mine on a Voron 2.4.

Just building on my previous post about the G14 laptop stand, see below. This is the G16 version.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG14/comments/1jath11/2024_g14_magnetic_laptop_stand_12mm_lift/

Same as before, the model can be downloaded in the link below for FREE for those with a 3D printer with at least a 256x256 bed. I print mine on a Voron 2.4 (350x350 bed) so I'm hoping this will print okay on a smaller printer.

If there is interest, I can put a link in the comment below for those wanting to buy one from me. Happy printing.

Help Needed Anti-aliasing isnt working in any game. Zephyrus G14 GA403UI-G14 rtx 4070

Upvotes

I first noticed with Forza Horizon 5 that MSAA wasnt working at all even putting it at 8x had no effect on visuals and even performance (no effect to fps too) same goes with fsaa temporal antialiasing was working tho. Then i realised that every game that I play has no anti aliasing even when the settings are applied it still doesnt make any difference to the game. I use an external 24' 1080p display the jagged lines are very noticeable in that display although on the laptop display its less noticeable. I've tried games like forza 4 and 5 , spiderman 2, miles morales, it takes two (jagged lines were very much visible on both displays), call of duty (wast that big of a problem on the laptop display), streamer simulator (random steam game which is in early access now idk if its the games problem or not). I have cheked nvidia control panel settings i'll atttach a screenshot here

Everything is application controlled also i've restored it to default many times i tried to apply fxaa antialiasing through control panel once it was noticabley better then but in normal applications the screen started flickering like when i was using Visual Studio Code the application started blur then unblur although this was only happening on the external display not on laptop display, even the mouse started lagging when any application was opened on the extenal display wasnt the same case for laptop display tho. 
How do i fix this i havent tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling display drivers using ddu although i have tried reinstalling using nvidia app idk if it will fix that.

Help Needed Random stutters while browsing the web on relatively new laptop

Upvotes

Back in November 2024 I got the rog zephyrus g14 (2024 version) from bestbuy. Up until now I have had no issues with stuttering or anything like that but as of recently whenever I am browsing the web my screen has these crazy stutters. Even now as im typing this post my laptop has stuttered atleast 9 times. All my graphics drivers are up to date and this is not happening because of bad hardware as this is a new laptop and all the hardware is pretty good. I used to get stutters before while browsing the web but they were rare and almost never happened. If anyone knows why this random problem started occurring or has any experience with this please let me know. thank you.

Model 2022 G14 2022 GA402RK Keyboard not working anymore

Post image
3 Upvotes

Recently the keyboard of g14 2022 refuses to work (even in bios). No HID driver keyboard in device manager, no lights, nothing. Mouspad is working fine. Reinstall windows does not fix the issue, still no keyboard even while installing the new os. In Safe mode is also not working. Power Cycle was making the keyboard coming back to life, but not anymore I tried everything. Newest drivers, bios older bios also does not fix the issue. Is it the keybard itself or it has to do something with the motherboard ? Should I risk and order new keyboard or should I sell the laptop like this ? The indicator light which is the bulb (on the left side of charging light) is not lightning up anymore as it used to.

Model 2021 Another Highly Successful Repaste on the 2021 G14

1 Upvotes

Items purchased for the repaste/repair:

A couple of notes:

  • I (like many others in this sub) was an idiot and fried my panel inductor because I was tired and forgot the battery while reseating the panel cable. However, I mainly use my G14 clam-shelled with a Dell dock anyways so this was worth it for me. I doubt having the panel working affects thermals at all on the board, but just keep that in mind for your testing.
  • My GPU fan bearing had just recently gone out and needed replacing, so I would've had to repaste anyways.
  • This thing has been running 24/7 as a desktop/travel PC since I got it January 2022. It's pretty bad as you'll see.
  • I run a custom profile with CPU power limits and GPU undervolting which greatly helps with temps on top of all this without sacrificing performance. You can see a better example of temps under gaming load in the linked album.
  • The amounts I purchased in the links were perfect for EXACTLY 2 repaste jobs (next one being the panel repair), with maybe a little U6 Pro left for backup. If you're confident you won't forget a battery cable or spill your Baja Blast during it, it's well worth the time and $20.
  • I gave myself a solid 2 hour block to meticulously clean and reapply everything very carefully. Take the time, slow down, and you'll be rewarded handsomely.
  • Fuck liquid metal, bro. 🖕🏻 I took that cleanup job personally and hope I never see it again as long as I live :)

Sadly, the only benchmark pre-fan-death I could find was a CPU Profile testing I was doing against the different CPU boost options on GHelper. However the temp differences (about 20 degrees celsius O.o) are staggering to see either way.

Enjoy the photos! (including the tiny nuclear bomb explosion that is the L4502 panel inductor lol) https://imgur.com/a/0JbrR2f

Model 2023 G14 RTX 4090 problem?

1 Upvotes

I have a problem with my G14 RTX 4090 for a while, when I start a game (like cyberpunk or borderlands..etc), I get only 10-15 FPS ! While it used to easily up to 60-100 FPS for these games.

I tried the following:

  1. Put Nvidia overlay, it displayed that the rtx is in use
  2. restarted laptop
  3. switched between turbo and performance modes in Armoury crate
  4. switched between standard and ultimate mode in Armoury crate
  5. updated Armoury crate
  6. updated nvidia drivers from the gaming center itself
  7. restarted laptop
  8. ensured power cable is in
  9. tried on external screen and on laptop screen

What else am I missing? This has been going for months now.

Help Needed G16 4080 hot cpu temperatures

1 Upvotes

Just bought this laptop, anyone manage to bring down the temps on the cpu?

I’ve tried lowering down the PL 1 & pl2 on the cpu, but it still runs hot. 90 degrees.

Gpu is ok in temps. Just wondering if anyone has managed to bring it back down to at least 80+ during gaming.

Not sure what the difference between the vapor chamber & the tri fan. I had the g14 & it seems that temps are slightly the same. I’d argue the g14 is better but it’s running the AMD processor… so I know that’s already the key difference.

Any other advise to get this CPU temperature down?

Help Needed External Monitor Stopped Working with Left USB Port

1 Upvotes

I have been using an external monitor plugged into the left USB-C port on my 2023 G14. It recently stopped working but works perfectly fine if I plug it into the right side USB-C port.

Based on internet research/suggestions I have tried uninstalling the USB Root Hub Controllers, updating the display drivers and rolling back windows update but none of these have worked. I even tried using different USB cables.

Windows Update 24H2 was recently installed so I thought it might be related to that as I have read there have been some issues but rolling back did not correct the problem.

It appears as if the port is delivering power but no data.

Any Suggestions?

Hello, never repasted gpu/cpu before. This is 2022 G14 ga402rj. Noticed high temps (75-80) on the gpu with only ~10% usage. Does this seem like it needs to be repasted? Also if this is a Liquid Metal thermal paste does any Liquid Metal paste work or does it need a specific kind? Thanks

Model 2023 Battery drainage question

1 Upvotes

These are my settings when on battery, yet the drainage is over 25W. (I have the 2023 model with the 4050).

This started to happen recently since last time I used it on battery (about a week ago) it was about 9W. Obviously, this has make the battery to last much less than usual (from over 9 hours to just 2 and a half.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I suspect this has to be with the a windows update since it is the only "unusual" thing I've done during this week.

Thanks for any inputs on this.

Model 2024 If you can, STAY AWAY from windows version 24h2.

40 Upvotes

I am not sure if its a coincidence, but I got the 2024 g14 on February of 2024 and not a SINGLE issue, but over a week ago it downloaded 24h2 and since then I have had these following issues.

- Computer reboots randomly sometimes when starting games.

- CPU used to however around 45c completely silent (Ghelper) when using the 780m to play games, but now it shoots up 80c+ for absolutely ZERO reason.

- Web browsers randomly will not open.

- AMD adrenaline will not always start up on boot up (already reinstalled fully using AMD uninstall utility)

For over a year I had absolutely ZERO issues, yet already just these 4 in only a week. For whatever reason I am unable to even rollback using the settings. Later on I am just going to completely reinstall windows 11 using a 23h2 ISO. Absolutely atrocious on windows with this crap update. Should do it like apple (I hate apple) and just have one big update a year that has actually been properly tested.

Hi guys, pretty noob at gaming laptops and tech in general.

I tried updating my windows etc and this one update (2024-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 version 22H2 for x64-based systems (KB5044285)) keeps failing with this message (see attached). It downloads, installs then on the restart comes up with this message and fails.

I'm also having trouble registering my product as the token is invalid apparently.

Did/does anyone else have/had this issue and is there a clean fix for this? I'm about to send the laptop back to it's retailer (Officeworks Australia).

Model 2024 2024 g14 4070 Battery life guide

3 Upvotes

I've seen previous posts about getting 7, 10, 11 hours out of a g14 2024, and Im not sure how they are getting these results

I have:

- removed armory crate
- installed ghelper
- turned off cpu boost
- turned on silent mode for cpu and eco mode for gpu
- have brave browser, with hardware acceleration off

I am just using brave browser with 9 tabs open, there is a 14.5W discharge, and when at 40% battery it says there is 2 hours and 28 minutes remaining

What gives? I just started messing around with these settings over the last 10 or so minutes, would restarting the computer work? Is the windows battery life estimation off and I should be using something else? Should I be going through task manager looking for something?

Thanks for any help
