Why use different cooling solution for the same model, Asus?

G531/G731/GL531/GL731: 1050/1650: 2 shared heatpipes with only 2 exhaust vents 1660Ti/2060: 2 shared heatpipes and 1 individual GPU heatpipe. CPU only 1 exhaust vent while GPU has 2 2070: 1 shared heatpipe, 2 individual GPU heatpipes and 1 individual CPU heatpipe. Again, 3 exhaust vents This is not the first time they did this BTW GL504: 1060: 1 shared heatpipe, 1 individual heatpipe for both CPU and GPU. 3 exhaust vents 1070/2060/2070: 1 shared heatpipe, 2 individual GPU heatpipes and 1 individual CPU heatpipe. 3 exhaust vents GL704: 1060: 3 shared heatpipes, only 1 connected to both CPU and GPU fans. 3 exhaust vents 2070: 2 shared heatpipes (1 connected to GPU fan only), 1 individual heatpipe for both CPU and GPU. 3 exhaust vents I understand that some models from other brands also did the same, however at least they are able to maintain good thermals. Asus has improved the cooling solution in G731 compared to GL704. However, they still cannot deliver decent therm

[REVIEW] Level51 Nova 15 (i7-9750H, RTX 2070)

The best 2070 gaming laptop? In this article, we'll take a look on Level51 Nova 15 laptop. Will it meet or even surpass my expectations? Let's find out. Main specs: - i7-9750H - RTX 2070 8GB - 16GB 2666MHz RAM (dual channel) - 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Phison E12) - 144Hz IPS with GSYNC Based on Clevo PB51RF-G chassis (aka PB50RF-G) Product page: https://www.level51pc.co/welcome/Productinner/nova-15 External reviews (NBC): https://www.notebookcheck.net/Eurocom-Nightsky-RX15-Clevo-PB51RF-Core-i9-4K-OLED-Laptop-Review.431869.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Eurocom-Nightsky-Ti15-Clevo-PB51RF-Laptop-Review.430289.0.html 1. Build quality, input devices Build quality is excellent. Most of the laptop is made of aluminium which feels premium. The aluminium lid has brush finish on top of it. There is some flex when the lid is twisted, but rigidity is decent, and the flex will be locked out at certain point - I would say it’s better than P960 (Slate-15

[GUIDE] How to undervolt laptop (Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU, 2021 revised version)

This is my own guide on how to undervolt Intel CPU / Nvidia GPU in your laptops. Hope you found it useful! Notes: This is my own method on how to do it. There are a lot of ways to undervolt CPU+GPU, but this is how I usually undervolt with all the laptops I had reviewed and with my own laptop I will try my best to make the explanation clear and will be using the undervolt profiles in my laptop as example As mentioned in the title, this guide is for those with Intel CPU (4th gen or later) or Nvidia GPU (10 series or later) or both only. Some laptops have BIOS version with Plundervolt patch that locks CPU voltage control, so take note You might brick your 10th/11th gen Intel laptop if you undervolted too much even with software like Throttlestop, I will not be responsible if something catastrophic happens To TGL-45 laptop owners: Only i7 and i9 has unlocked CPU voltage control, even so the laptop model itself might not allow you to undervolt the CPU. Check your laptop model first
