Bro, I have a G733CX. It has the same problem as Trisha describes. Besides, I must say that I'm an engineer with 12 years of experience. First of all, to clarify things a bit more, I must say when this model CPU is consuming 100% of its resources, while Turbo mode is off, while gaming with latest games like “Starfield”, “CS2”, “Cyberpunk 2077” - always lags adn etc. While its turbo mode is On, = CPU always going to peak of 95*C Degrees (its boostong itself until its temp hits 95*C). Which I assume is not OK. Even if set the target temp to 80*C, as alreay think that is not rly ok, its eitherway hits 95*C. As for the engineer, for me it is very important to prolong the lifespan of my laptop as long as I can. Especially when it costs you 4000$, but not 400$. So I used to downclock the hardware instead of overclock them. Lower clocks = Lower temp = longer lifespan. But 95*C degeres is already near critical maximum when cpu is melting, literally. I know intel says junction is 100*C. But for your udnerstanding "junction" is theoretical maximum. On practice BIOS will shutdown entire system once it detects critical situation that is threatening the CPU.
But you see, when system is already shutdown like described above = it means it heat does not dispance as it should, as coolers ar stoped and etc. Instead of intelgent CPU power and cooler control = we see BASIC BIOS control.
Default intel webpage about my cpu - i9-12950HX says it uses 55W and 157W in turbo mode, while default asus armoury crate Turbo mode, peaks it to 175W (WTF ASUS?)
So believe it or not, this problem about the temperature could be both hardware and software and could be related to this topic, But the sound problem is really a hardware one. I got both sounds. First sound is cpu’s VRMs “load” sound, and the second one is m2 SSD’s “load” sound. Nothing above helps me. Photoshop, or googlechrome while 20 tabs, or anything resourceful and here it comes again, all hail the mighty sounds something compared to the sound of scratching the glass with the nail. If you launch a game = you hear tearing sounds from the cpus vrm (or perhaps even cpu itself). Ofcourse we hear that (175W compare to maximum recommended 157W for this cpu) LOL.! ROFL! GJ ASUS!
So when I downclock my CPU to 157W as maximum usage in Turbo mode, the tearing sound still persists but is almost twice silent compared to default settings. Besides I prefer to hear cooler sounds, but not these shredders. But there it goes another one. Even when I use 100% speed for the coolers, my temp is not going lower as it should, which could be evidence of bad liquid metal allocation upon the cpu itself or etc.
I was faced with the fact that my warranty is going to be done in 1 month so I just bought an extended one. It is very frustrating to have such problems when you buy a high-end gaming 4000$ laptop. But as i can predict, very soon my laptop VRM’s or PCU (which is integrated in the laptop itself as i believe) or even CPU itself will die soon. So yeah, why not extend the warranty?
If you are trying to catch this sound - the noise could be heard from another apartment room. And everyone I know who owns this model - got the same situation. So overall this model has serious serial hardware problems. And i'm very surprised people are ok with that, as well las im very surprised to downgrade and keep the 4k$ machine so hot and so loudy. Now i got to keep this laptop "safe" untill it blow up or what?
P.S.: my RGB lightnings are almoust twice less bright than they were but im using the laptop only since march. great.
