  • Those two issues are normal in the gaming laptop world.

    My Zephyrus G14 reaches 80°C on both the GPU and CPU, they’re not made to be running at ice-cold temperatures. I got it in late 2021 and it still runs like it’s brand new, even with high temps in AAA games.

    Gaming laptop are made to be used while plugged in, on the move. You CAN play games on the battery but it’s perfectly normal that it drains faster than a soda bottle found by a toddler. If you use it on the battery to do light work (database, IDE, YT, Facebook etc.), there are battery modes that will disable the GPU and use the integrated graphics. I get up to 8 hours from light tasking on mine.

    Enjoy your new acquisition!


  • Some cases can host much more than 2-3 fans. My old but reliable CoolerMaster ATX case can host up to seven 120mm fans. I don’t need that much for the light gaming I do but for some people, it’s cheaper to buy them in pack rather than individually, either for a single build with lots of fans or if you are building computers for a living.
