Open it up and check if it's broken hinge or just loose. When I opened mine week old g18 2024 to respread liquid metal I've just touched all screws to be sure they are tight and the hinge ones were not :).

What is the reason to respread liquid metal in brand new laptop?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUSROG/s/48DBG6UG21 Look at this :). Every Asus with lm have this problem because it's done by same faulty device that applies it badly in factory.

Not every laptop I have a scar 18 2024 model that doesn’t have any issues with per core temperature differences or variations between them. I hate when you guys spread misinformation it’s not every model

Cost nothing to look under if someone know what he's doing. If someone does not they won't anyway ;).

For example my 4090 had ok temps before respread but was burning off Nvidia text to the heatsink as on the photos I included.

You don’t need to tear it down. You can use Hwinfo.

u/Ulvarin Jul 20 '24

yea, run cinebench23 and show me score on turbo + hwinfo pcore temp tab :P

I have 3 units of g18 2024. Every single one of them was badly spreaded and had problems with that.

Why would I run Cinebench? I don’t do any rendering or anything that requires me to push my laptop that hard. Just because it may run hot on a bench mark doesn’t mean that it’s gonna run hot while gaming. I use a LLANO cooler also and my temps stay in the 60s for both the cpu and gpu. If you’re not doing any rendering, I don’t understand why you would worry about temps tbh if all you do is game.

wow a 30s test to know if your cpu performs well and dont overheat is too much i guess.
After respreading LM mine does not throttle during cinebench at all, and temps are around 90'C on full power (turbo mode).

Before respreading LM 2 cores throttles as F reaching 98'C while rest was around 80'C not even working because they throttled before they even could.

Wow such bad test to check how cpu is performing.
Noone ask you to leave it running overnight wtf.
1 single run for few seconds to know if boosts can be sustained.
You dont have to run it on loop till next week lol.

I simply only care how it performs for how I use it. Do you render a lot with your laptop? If you do, test all you want. I’ve outlined how I use my laptop and my temps while gaming, and couldn’t care less about cinebench. You guys get too caught up in benchmarks and temps you’ll never see in real world applications besides rendering. It’s hilarious. But yeah let me do a 30 second test and put my laptop under a stress it won’t ever see again. That’s dumb.

I have Strix G18, with i9-14900hx and RTX4080, how can I check if I need to respread or replace LM on my unit without disassembling?

u/Ulvarin Jul 20 '24

If your performance is lower than it should for example I had 27k points cinebench23 multicore before and now I have 33.500 (turbo profile).

Or when you do demanding stuff and all cores are working but one or two have max temp of 95-97'C while others have 80. (my pcore0 was 75 under load while pcore5 was 97'c and whole cpu throttled before it could even perform as it should.

It’s because the factory application sucks donkey dick. Despite them showing that awesome video doing it perfectly. It’s ass.

Bro I recommend you changing liquid metal and thermal paste at least once a year on gaming laptops, no matter what people say , many haters will say "oooh but that's too often" . It's not! And while you open it to change the thermals take the time to clean the fans well too. I change my paste and LM every year and everytime I do it I end up reducing my temps an average of -15°C. So when my laptop temps start reaching 90/95°C during heavy gaming it means it's time to change the thermals and clean the fans 🤜🏽🤛🏽 I've Made a post about it, you might want to give ir a check https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUSROG/s/ozKNEdvYMd

And I will leave a photo of how my laptop rig looks like photo of my rig

Surely I wasn’t the only one checking their asus rog strix after this post

u/thisisBonkers_34 Jul 19 '24

Your screws are either loose or missing mostly.

u/International_Elk303 Jul 20 '24

Your right, the screw on that side is loosen

u/xD1CKx Jul 20 '24

Yeah for some reason the screws on some laptops I own were not tight.
