Question Lots of questions --- Best Performance or Longer Battery Life ?

[danny009]

Should I use best performance or better battery on my Asus ROG Strix G15 (G15RM) laptop?

I want to get that awesome speedy but that's also makes a magical jump to 5.0GHz according to task manager. My CPU can only 3.20GHz it is an AMD Ryzen processor I have no idea how it went to 5 as I always thought it's impossible in current age and era. Anyways Best Perf also makes the chassis quite hot almost hurts my thumbs however numbers indicates max 60c when I do anything. 60c isnt that dangerious so why top of my laptop gets real hot? Is there other factors related to this?

I track CPU Package and overall CPU core temps via hwinfo. However, this isnt always like these I mean both numbers and heat, it is quite random but main thing is 60c on CPU AND top of the chassis more likely because it happens quite hot. When I do nothing it cools itself rather quickly so that is good. But it seems heat on the plastic chassis is rather hard to get rid of as I touch my thumbs to test it.

Should I stick to numbers on hwinfo or should I trust my large thumbs?
(better battery and better perf locks the GHz to 1.75Ghz according to my power settings)

Best performance is good for lifespan or should I avoid using it in long term? I do 720p mid gaming and 720p video rendering so heat is vital.

Thank you in advance

60°C is quite hot for the skin 😉

the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX can boost up to 4.9GHz, 5 could be tolerance or wrongly readout frequency.

eventually the GPU is clocking hot as well?

lifespan will always be reduced if hardware is getting hot

Hi sorry for the late response, my laptop is ASUS ROG Zephyrus g15 2022 ga503rm, not rog strix. CPU is AMD Ryzen 6800HS.

I see temps around 55c-60c'ish, not higher than that, so I was wondering is there any way to solve chassis gets so hot. Laptops can get lots of heat due to minimal space but I was thinking hardware temps and chassis heat is different than each other.

All of the hardware including RAM,CPU,GPU,SSD gets same amount of heat numbers as shown in hwinfo, around 50c-60c.

Games I play I always lower the settings of in game, even playing 720p 20fps so think of that madness in 2024. Don't know what else I can do about this chassis getting hot thing.
