Love it but it has many annoying little issues (fully updated with Win Update and MyASUS official app, BIOS 311):
[COMMON] Speaker sounds randomly muted 'till I reboot with no error in Device Manager, no icons with X and no crashes, but speakers simply do not play audio anymore (headphones still work). Only solution a reboot. Totally random in normal desktop usage.
[COMMON] Sometimes randomly after 2 days of sleep and resume, USB-C DisplaPort won't detect anymore the attached (but turned off) monitor when I turn it on. Have to reinsert DisplayPort cable (8K high quality). To be exact it happens after Windows Hibernation. (SOLVED with BIOS 315 ✔️)
[MY UNIT] Loud coil whine with the test from GPU_Caps_Viewer: 3D Demos/Vulkan 2 Tessellation. Tested in real games or other 3D Demos and coil whine is minimal and acceptable though...
[COMMON] Random internal screen (desktop usage) fast-flickerings (0.1sec, very fast almost unnoticeable, mostrly in the upper portion of the screen)... looks like AMD iGPU unstable frequency (?). This seems a well known AMD iGPU issue reported in many forums with previous AMD CPU models. Waiting for AMD Adrenalin driver/BIOS updates hoping for a fix... 🤞🏻
[COMMON] No S3 Standby state in the BIOS!! Forced S0 only (a sort of MS hybrid standby 2.0) with fans quietly active (???). You can check it with powercfg /a
from admin Cmd prompt. Microsoft calls it "Modern Standby", which is good only for office workstations, maybe. We need S3 (classic Standby) instead.
[COMMON] Standby set as: after 10 min screen off and after 45 min standby; when I return to the laptop after 1-2 hours I find the keyboard leds on and system freezed including stuck white mouse pointer over a black screen (!?). I've found a workaround from admin prompt simply forcing hibernate after 30 min and setting screen off and standby both after 10 min. It didn't happen anymore.
Power settings commands (admin):powercfg /x hibernate-timeout-ac 0
(default 0, AC is for PSU mode) powercfg /x hibernate-timeout-dc 60
(default 60 min = 3600 sec, DC is for battery mode) powercfg HIBERNATE ON
(force-enable Hibernation if not present)powercfg /q
(to show current idle settings)✍🏻 IMPORTANT: to report issues with Armoury Crate to ASUS support, follow this post (create the log and fill out the form!): https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/armoury-crate/armoury-crate-v5-7-6-0-amp-v5-7-9-0-aura-creator-v3-7-6-...

Yes but for temperature, I don't have any particular setting, apart from G-Helper curves I use, mostly in Silent mode.
They look like this:
And about 1% CPU Idle on desktop
Not sure going to Windows 10 will change anything, IMHO, better to stick with Windows 11 and set it the best possible

My processor never drops below 1% usage; even when I'm just watching YouTube, the processor load increases significantly, and it even reaches up to 92 degrees Celsius. I think there might be an issue.

Watching a Youtube video gives 3 - 4 % load on my side, with a less powerful processor.
CPU Temp around 75 °C, CPU vent at 2200 RPM

Thanks, I’ll try at least after going to the service.

The device has updated itself to bios 331. Weirdly enough, not via MyAsus or whatever, but Windows update ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - Firmware - 10.1.2.331.

Mine hes updated too yesterday, I got a little popup message telling for an important update, which I hardly noticed. I then opened MyAsus, and saw that the popup did come from MyAsus. I then clicked the update button in MyAsus and the BIOS upgrade started

Yes, I also received a BIOS update yesterday, and I applied it. However, my temperatures are still high; it starts at 90 degrees as soon as I turn it on and then gradually drops. Even when I watch videos, it goes up to 92 degrees. This situation is really frustrating. I think I'll need to take it to an authorized service for repair or replacement.

You are trying to find a software solution to a hardware problem. Yes, the device is supposed to run hot by design, but it's definitely not supposed to be hitting 92 watching videos unless you've tinkered with the fans but kept power limits high.
Check my post regarding factory liquid metal issues, you might want to check your unit: https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/rog-strix-series/issues-with-new-laptop-strix-scar-17-2023-r9-7945hx-4...

At what speed is your CPU vent when temp is 90°C ?
Are you in Silent, balanced or turbo mode?
09-04-2024 06:03 AM
In performance mode, my fan is running at 3300 RPM.
