Yesterday I disabled 'turbo boost' and CPU temperature (during gaming) dropped from an average of 93°C to 73°C. And the performance still seems the same. Thanks!

I just picked up the G15 as my first gaming laptop, coming from a surface pro. Stumbling across your channel has been a god send, thanks for the tips and tricks. I appreciate the extra mile in timestamps, description links, and cutting out fluff. Hope your channel continues to grow!

Just picked up the m16 zephyrus, first gaming laptop, first expensive laptop. I was freaking out about temperature but after you said 90s while gaming is normal I calmed down. Appreciate all the information in the video! Really helped

Massive thank you for taking the time to make this video. That’s a massive help to noobs like me that struggle to understand why there are frame rate issues with their expensive gaming laptop. I have an ASUS F15 with a GTX 3060 and 16gb of ram.. it has been a huge learning curve coming from console gaming. Your video has been a massive help.. Happy holidays brother 🤟🏻😎

26:15 To get even more battery life, especially when you know that you will be using your laptop on battery for quite some time, you can also set the refresh rate to 60Hz. That makes a significant difference.

Awesome video, so much information packed in and the editing is clean.

Just got the G15 and this is going to save me a ton of time avoiding the Reddit rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing.

There are a lot G15 guides out there, but this is by far the best and most detailed

[angexiety]

I just bought my first ever gaming laptop and your video was so helpful for a noob like me! I can't imagine scrolling thru reddit for 2+ hours and probably still not doing things right, thank you!

Just picked up a 2021 3070 G15 open box at bestbuy for 1300$. Im beyond hyped, thanks for the awesome setup video.

[Darian]

Extremely helpful man! I just picked this laptop up, the exact one and loving it. Dude...your guide helped me learn so much about the deeper tweeks, I can't thank you enough.

[frostgodx]

Using registry edit, I set the minimum power state of my G15 in silent mode within advanced power settings of control panel to 0%. This ensured that during light uses on battery, my CPU clocks stayed below 2Ghz and power consumption dropped by at least 0.5w

[owaisaboualkheir]

I just got the G15 3080 and your guide helped me quite a lot I must say so thank you 🙏! Hope your Chanel grows bigger my guy

[tylerpage]

Just got the G14 so this guide has been super helpful for me, thanks so much!! You earned yourself a subscriber.

Be sure to take the 30 seconds to modify the registry so the power options menu shows CPU boost options. Mine didn't show by default.

Thank you so much mate, I've just upgraded to a gaming laptop after coming from a Macbook, so a big change. This really helped my adapt much quicker.

It's funny you mention that huge rabbit hole. Who hasn't played in that way too long too many times. It's nice to point it out. Kind of puts things in perspective. It definitely helps getting out that hole
