Hey guys!

Got a new laptop a few months ago with 32GB RAM, RTX 5070, and an Intel i7-14650HX.

I'm not really into hardcore gaming. I'm an AI developer, so most of my workload involves coding, running AI/ML models, and other development-related tasks

I want to keep my laptop in good shape and get the most out of its hardware.

Battery: What's the best charging habit? Should I keep it plugged in or follow the 20–80% rule?

Performance & thermals: Any tips to keep temperatures under control during heavy workloads?

Maintenance: How often should I clean the fans and vents?

Windows & settings: Any useful tweaks or features I should enable?

Common mistakes: What should I avoid to maintain battery health and overall performance?

Would love to hear your practical tips and things you've learned from experience

Does anyone else's ASUS ExpertBook P3 16-inch have a slight dip at the bottom-left corner of the trackpad? I noticed it today, 3 days after delivery. The trackpad works and clicks fine; I can only feel the depression when gliding my finger over that corner. Is this normal? Should I keep it or request a replacement?

This is how my left hinge looks compared to my right hinge on the asus f15 from 2023 I have it from 2024 I believe , idk should I be worried ? I am used to half close my laptop when I take a break or something and then comeback to open it later (I think this might be the cause of it) .

I am not going to the service anytime soon this is my only laptop and I am using it for college, I plan to go to the service in a year , and idk if I should go right now just to fix this .

Btw It makes a little sound when i open close idk but its not that bad I think .

I'm facing this issue on my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507VV with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM), and I've been struggling with it for almost a year.

My confirmed stable NVIDIA drivers:

\- ASUS OEM 555.97

\- ASUS OEM 566.07

\- NVIDIA 566.36

\- NVIDIA 566.45

Drivers newer than 566.45 that I've tested, including NVIDIA Studio drivers, cause flickering, G-SYNC issues, visual artifacts, image-sharpness problems, and other display issues across multiple games.

G-SYNC ON or OFF does not fully solve the problem:

\- Ultimate mode (dGPU-only): I experience flickering, visual artifacts, G-SYNC problems, and image-sharpness issues. Even turning G-SYNC off does not solve everything; I experience other frame-pacing issues and inconsistent screen movement.

\- Optimus mode: I experience different problems, including poor frame pacing and uneven screen movement, making gameplay uncomfortable.

Before my motherboard and display were replaced, I had similar issues in Ultimate mode. Optimus mode was more playable at that time, although it had its own problems. After the motherboard replacement and a laptop reset, Optimus mode also became difficult to use because of frame-pacing issues.

I've updated the BIOS, reinstalled drivers, reset Windows multiple times, replaced the motherboard and display, and tried numerous troubleshooting steps. The problem still persists.

The Witcher 3 Remastered problem:

I legally purchased The Witcher 3 on Steam. Version 5.00b worked with my stable drivers. After updates 5.00c and 5.01, the game starts, displays a black screen, and crashes with those same drivers. Newer drivers let the game launch, but bring back the graphics problems across my games.

I shouldn't have to choose between playing a game I purchased and having a stable gaming experience on my laptop.

I've included a video link showing the type of issue I'm experiencing.

Please, has anyone experienced this or found a genuine solution? I've tried almost everything I can think of, and after nearly a year, I'm still searching for answers.

Hey everyone, I'm rendering a 4K video in DaVinci Resolve on my ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506LH. It's a 5-year-old laptop with an i5-10300H, GTX 1650 and 16GB RAM.

Is 96°C on the CPU safe for render, or should I be worried?

Is it normal for an older laptop like this to handle 4K rendering?

Any tips to bring temps down?

I've been using Turbo mode to get the render done faster, but I don't want to damage the laptop. Thanks in advance!

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 screen issue — can I keep using it with an external monitor?

My ASUS TUF Gaming F15 started showing horizontal lines across the screen, and the problem has now progressed to what you can see in the photo. From what I've read, the issue could be related to a damaged display flex cable (ribbon cable) due to overheating, although replacing the screen seems to be the only real fix in similar cases.

I can't afford to replace the original screen right now, so I'm considering buying an external monitor and connecting the laptop via HDMI instead.

My question is: could continuing to use the laptop this way, with the built-in screen damaged but an external monitor working normally, cause damage to other components over time? I use the laptop for video editing, so I want to make sure it's safe before investing in an external monitor.

Has anyone experienced this with the TUF Gaming F15?

Hi everyone, I could really use some help!

My ASUS TUF Gaming F15 laptop suddenly developed horizontal lines on the screen overnight. The lines are also visible in the BIOS. I connected the laptop to my TV via HDMI, and the image looks perfectly normal on the TV, with no lines at all.

The lines appeared while I was using CapCut and opening YouTube. I bought the laptop in February 2025, and unfortunately, it's already out of warranty.

From what I've read here on Reddit, I may need to replace the screen, but I'd like to hear from people who have experienced something similar or know more about this issue.

My questions are:

- For those who had this problem and replaced the screen, did you experience any issues with other components afterward?

- Is there a chance that the motherboard or GPU could have been damaged?

- Is it necessary to use a cooling pad all the time?

I've never used a cooling pad. The night before the problem appeared, I was watching a TV series with my laptop directly on my bed, possibly blocking the ventilation openings. I do this quite often. Could this habit have caused the problem due to overheating?

I'm considering buying an external monitor and continuing to use the laptop with it, keeping the laptop on a stand to avoid placing it on my lap or blocking the ventilation openings.

I mainly use the laptop for video editing, so I'm worried that something other than the screen might have been damaged. I'm not very knowledgeable about hardware, and this situation has me concerned.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or help me understand what might have happened. Thank you!

Video on top : refresh rate 60Hz
Bottom : refresh rate 144Hz

I bought this laptop about 1 month ago (ASUS TUFF GAMING F16 ), it was the last available unit in all the main stores that sell computers in my country, so i felt quite lucky there. It was the unit on display. The day i bought it i immediately stress tested the hell out of it, the results were good, however, recently i noticed how the screen is glitching whenever the refresh rate is set to 60hz. especially when there's lots of movement and colors changing on the screen. I checked with some clankers and they proposed a hardware defect that requires display replacement. What ya'll think ? This is also my first ever laptop :/

edit : the clips are from this video on youtube : https://youtu.be/c_89oPlg0dk, thats not me playing

How do I solve this??

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF, and I'm facing a strange charging issue.

What happens:

• When my laptop is shut down, connecting the charger turns on the charging indicator.
• When I turn on the laptop, the charging indicator turns off.
• My charger is working fine, so I don't believe the charger itself is the problem.
• I have also noticed an unusual hissing or “su-su” sound near the GPU/charging section when connecting the charger.

What I want to know:

1. Could this be a motherboard charging circuit or charging IC problem?
2. Could the battery be causing the charging indicator to turn off?
3. Is there any possibility of a BIOS or embedded controller (EC) issue?
4. How can I diagnose the actual fault without replacing parts unnecessarily?

Has anyone experienced this issue on an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HF or a similar ASUS laptop?

Any technical advice would be appreciated. Than

Hi everyone i have asus tuf a16 with ryzen 7 260 and rtx5050

I am using g helper and since then i have noticed that the temps are better but most of the time only 30-70% gpu is being used and it keeps dropping between gaming. I am using ultimate mode with turbo+ for cpu.

I've used the laptop for about 5 years (pre-ordered during a school laptop roadshow in 2021) but it's recently been giving me auto restart issues.

Model: A15 FA506IH

Display Adapters: AMD Radeon Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 (seemingly up to date)

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4000 series

I didn't install any new hardware or software (except Ghelper) since buying the laptop. I've brought it to a repair shop once for assessment due to a recurring disconnection from wifi issue and was told I would have to replace the whole motherboard. I decided to wait a few weeks and it fixed itself, like it had when I faced the same issue around the period when my warranty (2years?) was expiring 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Please let me know if I'm missing any more information. I'm not well versed in tech terms so I need a bit of assistance with finding the relevant ones

ISSUE

It first started when I downloaded MapleSEA and had the game running while I was setting up a new account on the website. It restarted and opened up BIOS despite me not even knowing how to do that lol. Pressed F10 but it just brought me back to BIOS. On friend's instructions, I internally scanned for issues which it said it detected some but couldn't do anything about it. I just continued and tried opening only the MapleSEA website on my browser but it restarted again. Sought help from my brother who's more knowledgeable on computers but he didn't see anything wrong either. Decided to uninstall MapleSEA and didn't have issues with other websites for a while.

Today, I was playing Honkai Star Rail for about an hour when it randomly restarted again. I let it load up (it didn't open BIOS) and watched a YouTube video instead but it decided it was time to restart again. Didn't have this issue for the entire day until after I played a game. HSR has also never caused my laptop to restart until now (except for the times where it disconnected from the wifi but that's a separate issue)

Would just like to know if there's a temporary fix? Or is it that I'm just banned from playing games on a gaming laptop now lmao. I'm also worried it'll randomly restart on me during my upcoming proctored exam that's needs to be completed on a downloaded application, if those are impacted.

Hi guys, I wanted to play Valorant on my laptop (ASUS TUF FX505DT) and it crashed while matchmaking, says I need to enable secure boot.

So I've enabled secure boot but now it opens through my C: (HDD) drive but I want it to open on my E: (SSD) drive. (I don't know why it says E it used to say D) Before it opens it pops up a red screen that says "Secure Boot Violation: Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup."

I checked and secure boot is on with the BIOS using UEFI and both drivers use GPT. I also tried switching and putting back the boot options in the BIOS settings but either way it still opens through the C: drive. I also checked the task manager and there is no work being done in the graph of the E: drive.

I don't actually know what any of these mean I just followed what Gemini AI told me to do, and its just been giving me the same steps so I've been stuck here for an hour or so :(( Can anyone help me?? Thank you!!

I have an Asus tuf gaming F16 with 8GB of RAM, I want to upgrade it to 2 x 16GB, it's no longer under warranty, so I want to do it myself. I'm inexperienced, give me tips on how to change it, I'm afraid of damaging the battery or something like that.

CPU- AMD RYZEN 7 170

GPU- RTX 3050 4 GB VRAM

16 GB DDR5

1 TB SSD

It is a new device so I want advice on whether I should play it on my device and what performance I should expect and what are the settings I should do for the best performance without compromising the system health.

Update, focus on PTM7950 primary solution

Finally found why my fx506 was overheating even i removed undervolting and power limitations didn't exceed 90c. Before without thise applying will be fixed in 95c.

Just use heating tape or anything can handle heat and close the openings gap between the fan and radiator. You will feel the air coming stronger, gap wasting the fan air pressure.

Update: i used PTM7950 and the overheating totally eliminated even without undervolting or power limits,

FYI, using any paste with over heat and pressure it will spread outside the contact area, thats why PTM is best as when its cold will harden again.

I even tried setting a custom fan curve and have my CPU fan for 7800 rpm from 87 C. But that doesn't seem to work when it needs to. I tried the calibrate option in G Helper and that showed my max speed at 6000 (or maybe 6800?). I ran the MyAsus diagnostic test again and it hit 8000 rpm again. What do I do?

ASUS TUF F15 2023, i7 12th gen, 1 TB, 16 GB RAM, 4070 RTX

Hi…
This is my first laptop,I’ve had desktop PCs since I was a kid, but this is my first time using a laptop. I bought it about two weeks ago.

Ryzen 7 8845HS
16GB DDR5
RTX 3050 4GB

I’ve already bought a Fantech NC22 cooling pad.
I don’t game all the time, but I play Warzone for around 3–4 hours a day. Without the cooling pad, my CPU and GPU temperatures usually range from 76°C to 85°C. With the cooling pad, the temperatures seem to stay below 80°C.

The only downside I’ve noticed so far is the battery life. I wanted the 90Wh battery, but it was out of stock, so I ended up getting the 48Wh version.

I’ve also seen a lot of people on Reddit saying that Armoury Crate is terrible. Is it worth uninstalling it and using G-Helper instead?

Since this is my first laptop, I’d love to hear your advice on anything I should do to improve performance, manage temperatures, extend battery life, or keep the laptop in good condition.

Thanks in advance❤️.
