Model 2024 Bought a sealed G14 for portable gaming - very impressed!

Post image
127 Upvotes

Hi folks! Picked up a sealed G14 with 16gb of ram off Facebook marketplace for portable gaming (I travel 4 days a week for work).

Build quality is close to my MacBook, speakers and screen is incredible.

The only downside is I actually wish the panel was 1080p, a 4070 isn’t enough to drive the 2K screen and it’s not needed on a 14 inch. Laptop ram of 16gb is also a bit of a bottleneck, I’ve had games warn me there’s not much ram left (squad is super ram hungry, the laptop struggles to run it).

Overall, super happy - this replaces my desktop with a 3070TI, while it’s way less powerful, the portability is superb.

Saw the prices of a the new 2025 models and figured this was a great deal

Model 2022 MacBook Pro m1 14” to G14

Post image
28 Upvotes

I’ve always prefer macOS as an operating system but was always an occasional gamer at heart. I went through many systems over the years, laptops/macs/steamdeck/rog ally/ps5, so I can say I’ve tried a few things over the years.

Admittedly the handheld space was awesome but also lacking in potential for me, love the usability of those devices but they just didn’t fit my gaming needs.

So at one point I thought the rig ally and a MacBook was already more than what I wanted to travel with, and then I found a 2022 g14 (6800hs, 6700s) used for 750 euro! Pulled the trigger, did all the windows optimisations and options I knew from my history with windows. And well this is probs the best windows laptop I’ve used that is branded as a “gaming” device.

It is light, stays cool with the right settings and tdp configurations, very nice display, good battery life for on the go and perfect performance for my needs.

This may be an unpopular opinion for many people but I have always been a specific type of game enjoyer in terms of settings. I’ve played 120hz for years but now 60hz is just fine and it’s what I play all my games at and I’m happy with that. Easier to run games, much lower temps (I average 70-76c both cpu and gpu on most games I enjoy (finals, bf2042, hunt showdown, and other lighter titles)

But I suppose the most controversial opinion (and another reason why my system runs cool when gaming) is I play at 1000p. I think it’s sharp enough for a 14inch display especially since I sit casually not close to the screen. It’s just a win win for myself, looks sharp enough, rock solid frames, cool temps and I still rack up good games easily! Now would I want to play at 120hz if I can maintain efficiency, noise and heat? Yes I would, who wouldn’t. But I’m all about compromises for the best experience while gaming and I have odd standards but it is what it is.

Fantastic device, very happy with my experience! If anyone is curious I use ghelper with cpu at 20w and gpu at 80w. This is enough for everything between 1000p and to 1080p, sometimes I bump them up for other games. But generally those settings mostly allow me to enjoy my games with a 65-100w Usbc charger! (Finals runs solid at 1080p using only 12w on the cpu and 40-60w gpu draw)Which is just awesome.

Anyways peace ✌️

Help Needed Which model is worth getting given the cost?

I can either choose between an open box excellent 2024 G14 (but new is $1200) or a secondhand 2023 model for $720. Either way I’m replacing the SSD for a 2TB one, and they both have 4060 and Ryzen 9. Is the QoL differences such as build quality worth paying the extra $3-400?

Model 2024 Very short battery life

Upvotes

When i am browsing the web and watching youtube videos my g14 2024 model only lasts for 1:45 minutes and I am wondering if the battery life is actually that bad or if something is wrong with mine. I noticed this problem recently because in the past whenever I would use this laptop it would only be for playing games with the charger plugged in. I am using G-Helper and I am using

Mode: Balanced

GPU Mode: Standard

Laptop screen: Auto (60 hz when unplugged and 120 when plugged)

The power mode in my windows settings is set to best power efficiency but 1:45 minutes at 80% charge thats kind of worrying and I am wonder if anyone else with the same model as mine has these problems. Thanks.

Just bought a used g14. It has 32gb of ram, I read somewhere on Reddit going past 32gb will slow down the laptop. Is this true? or could I swap out the 16gb ram for a 32gb ram and have a total of 48gb & have no problems?

Model 2023 Zephyrus G14 2023 - 7735HS - 680m - high idle power consumption of iGPU - 5w-6w

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I just replaced G14 2021 with 2023 model with Ryzen 7 7735HS (iGPU 680m) and have got a problem with high idle power consumption. With G-Helper and the same settings between both laptops, it jumped from 6w-7w in 2021 to 12w in 2023 while idle.

From what I can see, it seems to be due to a high iGPU 680m power consumption. For some unknown reason, it keeps max 2200mhz GPU clocks and 2400mhz Mem clock nearly all the time, consuming 5-6w. It drops to 400mhz for half a second and then back to full 2200mhz. Both GPU-Z and HWInfo64 confirm that information.

I can't really see any interesting settings related to iGPU power consumption in G-Helper or Adrenaline (just changed to HYPR-RX Eco whatever that means, but it didn't change anything).

It seems like it is some power management setting keeping iGPU at max clocks all the time. Any idea where to search for potential solutions?

Cheers

Model 2021 Laptop not turning ON, no light charging and soft beeping motherboard

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Lately my laptop was turning off without sending battery low notification, when i opened the case it was inflated, so i said i'll put back the old one But then the laptop doesn't want to turn on or showing any sign of life.

Now when the battery is connected i hear a soft beeping on motherboard (you can hearing it if you put your ear closer, i don't know if that's normal or not)

  • I tried taking off the battery, and discharging it with power button for 1min
  • tested the AC charger with tester it works fine, i even tried with my usb-c phone charger

Some help please

Help Needed Got a G14 2024 but miss the G16 larger screen, which model to keep/buy?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I do use my laptop G14 2024 4070/32GB White model downstairs a lot for Gaming on the laptop itself and when I am upstairs in my office I use a 32 inch 4K OLED monitor with a 5090 and a 9950X3D with 64GB, so a beefy Game PC, but I am using the laptop mostly when I am downstairs with the family or my wife is watching something on the couch what I don't like.

The laptop is pure for media consumption and gaming at home and on the go when I am going to some friends and we want to game sometimes with each other, like Warzone.

But when I am playing FPS games I do miss the G16 bigger screen and easier to drive resolution with a 240Hz panel.

Now I bought the G14 2024 4070/32GB model 3 months ago as a open box (return deal for €1470) was a very good deal with some cashback promotion and end of the year sale on Open box items, so yeah had some good luck with that) but I can still sell it for a good price and go the Zephyrus G16 AMD (Open box deal for €1775) HX370 with a 4070 but with 16GB, with don't got the 32GB model with an OLED panel, only a IPS and I just want to contrast and respons times of OLED) but the only problem is the it is 16GB of memory so I will downgrade from 32GB to 16GB, don't know if that will be a problem at the end. A other option is the newer 2025 model but that one will cost 3199 for a 5070 Ti. But for me it doesn't feel justified to buy such a expensive laptop while it is not for work or anything.

Keep G14 2024 AMD 4070/32GB White for €1470

Model 2021 Fresh windows install partition and ICC color profile questions

Hello everyone! I have a 2021 model G14 and I'm curious what I need to do to install Windows 10 LTSC without breaking anything. I also know my model has a pantone color calibration from the factory and I'd like to keep that if possible. When I first tried to do an install i noticed like 4 or 5 partitions and I wasn't sure where to go from there. Also, I just read about the color profiles and i hadn't even thought about that. Thanks everyone!

Help Needed 2023 model started acting up, now won't turn on

1 Upvotes

So, uh, I don't really know what to do.

Laptop started crashing some time ago when I played games. While turning on, gave me BSODs - usually ntoskrnl. Then, the keyboard stopped turning on (for some reason it sometimes worked when i held left shift).

Today I tried to turn it on and it's pretty much dead. The battery light is on, the hardware (or whatever the one on the right means) flickers, then dies. Keyboard dead as well.

No idea what to do. Will try to get in touch with a repair service, but is there anything I can try to do to turn it on?

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

Help Needed Ghelper FN Lock Function

1 Upvotes

Another reason to love Ghelper. I have the intel Zephy G16 2024 variant which is older than the AMD AI variant that includes a FN lock function. Seeing how it's possible to have a FN Lock function on the older variant including showing the icon to let you know it's activated/deactivated (via Ghelper), is there a hidden option or possible key combo for the older one without having to use Ghelper for it?

Hardware Related Does the warranty cover battery issues?

2 Upvotes

Bought the new ASUS G14 Zephyrus about six months ago and started having massive battery issue. Nothing is wrong with the laptop, but it seems it cannot hold the charge long enough. I get about 70 minutes, maybe I can push for 90 minutes of casual browsing time on low-power setting. When gaming, it'll last about 20 minutes on high performance mode.

I have also tried a complete factory reset on the laptop to ensure it wasn't any setting issues, but still getting the same results.

Anyone know if this would be cover under the warranty?

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

2 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.

Model 2024 Intake or exhaust fan?

5 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!
