That's normal.

XTU is broken for undervolting, those are known issues. Use throttlestop instead.

Mine is a VSK an on top of that I would have to edit out the w10 key in it. So that's a no go, sorry about that.

Hardware issue.

Yes. Check the fan connectors.

You will need monitoring tools to see what's going on. Without it, it's nothing but a guessing game.

MSI afterburner is the most popular one, but you can use whichever you prefer. Keep an eye on...

It was actually because you disabled safe boot. Oh well, good to know it's now up and running again.

That's called TROUBLESHOOTING, you genius. You come here asking for help expecting some sort of magical fix? Get a clue.

Good luck.

High pitched sounds like that are usually VRM related. Could be fixed in theory, but it usually fries all the traces on the pcb around it.

You can usually find replacements on aliexpress.

As the other guy suggested, try different gpu drivers. If that doesn't fix it, send it back while it's still under warranty.

Underclock the GPU and gpu memory and see if that fixes it.

You're being optimistic that Asus repair center or w/e will fix that. They will probably just replace a couple of random parts like they usually do and call it a day lol

Unfortunately, no. Even if you could, you would still need a SPI programmer to dump your bios chip and reflash in case things went south.

You need a SPI Flash programmer with a soic8 test clip to extract and flash your bios chip. It doesn't work with nvflash. Editing the bios file is pretty straight forward.

As far as I know, there is only one way to unlock it, and that involves editing the vBIOS. Doesn't work for all models though. You have to take the risks and try it for yourself. The tool is called...

Undervolt it.

Might be.
Remove everything that is installed and try again. Leave nothing but the essential for it to power on. Only one ram stick and the battery should be enough.

You don't need to type in the serial number. It's "built in" into the BIOS. Windows will activate automatically.

Backup all your stuff and restart the laptop. Once it boots up, delete the system...

Unplug the battery and try again.

It should be working fine out of the box. Gaming laptops can be loud and run hot, but they work fine. If your laptop is still under warranty, send it back.
If you don't need to carry your computer...

Run hwmonitor and see if it's reporting the same values.

You can find a replacement on ebay for cheap.

That's the chipset temperature. It's unrelated. The only way to measure VRM temperature is by using external methods (thermal camera, thermocouple).

Abnormal VRM temperature is our best guess so...

VRM and die temperatures are totally different things.

85C/81C is fine.
You can undervolt the CPU and GPU to improve that.

Press FN+F8, see if anything happens.
