You can say that again.

If people were unaware, as I was, you can go to device manager->firmware->system firmware->update driver and update to BIOS 305 for the GL702VMK now.

Meanwhile the GL702VMK stays at 303 since 2017.

Yes, your best bet would be to use the 60% option for extended life.

I honestly don't know if this is a design feature. My GL702VMK never does anything of the sort. The fans spin up at temperature thresholds, yes, but do not at all while idle or simply browsing. I...

I'd just like to congratulate this thread on 100 pages. I've been watching it grow like a weed for a couple years.

I know many people have issues with their ASUS products and come here to complain ( and rightfully so ). But I gotta say. I have now owned my ASUS GL702VMK for 18 months and have traveled back and...

I believe it should show the proper value. For instance, on my GL702VMK, I have been using the 60% maximum lifespan mode and it has kept my battery between 58 and 60% since I installed it. Not sure...

Since you arent getting any replies I will say that no, those idle temps are not normal. I'd say something must be eating up processor cycles in the background. This system should be idling at around...

You could try reinstalling the ATK package from ASUS' support site.

Thanks for the info, although I think I'll stick with 303 until someone convinces me that there are actual benefits going to 306 on the GL702VMK. If it ain't broke, I ain't fixing it right now.
...

The GL702VM bios is at 306.

The GL702VMK is at 303.

I'd love to see a BIOS update for the VMK that could improve temperatures but that's probably a pipe dream.

To me, that looks pretty bad for screen bleed. I might contact ASUS for possible RMA or see if your place of purchase can exchange it.

Love me some Dark Souls. :)

As documented all over these forums, try disabling turbo boost for your CPU. You can adjust your power profile to stop the processor from reaching 100% utilization.

You could try reinstalling the ATK package from the ASUS' support website and reboot. See if that helps.

Looks like outgassing for sure. Just curious, did you game hard on it for the 16 months with long game sessions and high temperatures?

StarJack

But the GL702VMK already comes with an NVMe drive, right? So why would temps increase?

StarJack

2.8GHz base and can clock to 3.5GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology.

StarJack

Has anybody tried overclocking their 75Hz panel on this model to 100Hz?

If so, do you really notice a difference? And what are the pitfalls of doing this? Can it damage your display?

I agree. It's a stupid comment and I think the poster missed the mark on understanding it's meaning. I could site my supposed 40 Gb TB3 advertised on my rig, which turned out to be 20 Gb. Although,...

I have the GL702VMK and was hoping to eventually upgrade my 128GB SSD to a 256 or 512 by just cloning the 128GB with Macrium Reflect. I have the image of my 128GB sitting on my SATA HDD. Could I just...

Yea, I might look at a possible RMA if I were you.

Power off the laptop. Power it back on and when the ROG logo appears hold the power button in for 10 seconds. It should shut down again after a few seconds of holding the power button in. Now power...

To be honest, that sound appears to be the speaker diaphragm rattling. More than likely just a faulty speaker.

StarJack

Maybe try rolling back the update - go into Programs and Features and find the update by looking at dates and uninstall. Just a thought.
