Asus GL703 Owner's Lounge

Owner's lounge for Asus GL703.

I got the GL703GE with GTX 1050ti

The experience around the laptop is a solid A-. Aside for the power throttling (bios/software induced since it's still very cool), it has an excellent screen, good keyboard feel, and nice speakers. The aesthetics are up there! I wish they had more vents just like the MSI GP63/GP73, then this laptop would truly be a perfection in its class.

Have mine undervolted with throttlestop. Hitting 1269 on multicore test cinebench r15
I repasted it with no visible changes, so it seems like they've done a good job at least on mine with the thermal paste.

I prop mine up from behind so there's airflow.

Bios recently updated to 308 which has mitigated most touchpad issues.

Next Up:
Liquid metal paste and copper pads setup and then reporting cinebench r15 and temps (ETA: 07/01)

Feel free to ping for benchmarks or other misc requests.

 

How are temps looking?

 

Results after Cinebench r15 multicore run:

 

Those temps are pretty good!! I recently got my hands on the 703's little brother, the GL503. It has a GTX 1060 w/ i7 7700HQ though. Kind of in a different realm compared to this 703. But it's good to see these results for comparison!

 

Definitely. I'm currently looking for a laptop that has a high powered and excellent cooling no matter the size. This ultimately renders a high Cinebench r15 result whilst having excellent cooling. If you have any mind please let me know!

 

Coil Sheets??

 

Copper pads* (corrected!)

 

Are they better then fujilopy??

 

Anyone own a GL703GS?

Looking to pit it against the MSI GE73 8RF. The MSI panel is supposedly better but no G-Sync I believe.

 

Had problems keeping them in place. Reverting to normal pads. Will try fujilopy whenever I repaste it.
