 So Asus sends us this email, they're like, Hey, do you guys want to check out our latest and ga- I'm a gay-test? Do you want to check out our latest and greatest hulking monstrosity of a gaming laptop? The G703G! I think it's got two G's for like, GG, for like, Your opponents won't know what hit them because it weighs like... A thousand pounds! Anyway, we've kind of been into the thin and light thing lately, So we message back, we're like, Well, what's special about it? And they go, Oh! Well, it's got six cores and it over clocks to five gigahertz! And we were like, Oh, okay! Let's take it for a spin! thermal takes view 37 mid-tower case has a Fully modular design and can support up to an e ATX motherboard Check it out at the link below to learn more. Alright, so we've got a sneaking suspicion that we are going to need some extra gear in order to make a five gigahertz overclock stick. So while Alex sets that up over here, I am going to unbox this monstrosity. Whoa! Whoa! That is heavy! Right around here, so it's already- Wow, this thing is thick! I mean, just to put it in perspective, This is an ultrabook for scale. That is a razor blade stealth, And that is the G703G. I think this thing is even thicker than the GX800, isn't it? Uh, about the same, I would say. About the same? Alright. And the GX800, though, had dual 1080s in SLI in it. I mean, that's one critical difference. This one's only got a single GTX 1080. With that said, though, we do understand why they need all of this thickness, And that's because even though the GPU power might not be as much, It's actually running an Intel Core i9 CPU. So this is one of the first laptops out in the wild with an Intel Core i9 6-core mobile CPU, And the first one that we've seen that is overclockable. Holy crap, like it feels like it's on a platform. It's so high above the desk. This is crazy. These overclockable beasts, according to ASUS, Go from 45 watts up to a whopping 160 watts, depending on the load. That is why they need a thicker chassis, even though they've only got one graphics card. So we suspect that we're going to need some cooling augmentation. That's where Blowing Matron over here potentially comes in later. That's the fastest laptop we've ever seen so far, so... Fourteen hundred in Cinebench. Yeah, so that Ryzen laptop was $1399 or so. And that thing was an 8-core processor. I mean, let's take a closer look at this thing. Got your USB. Look how small a USB port looks next to it. SD card. Oh, got an ethernet, thunderbolt, USB, this. And then check this out. HDMI, mini display port. Every single one of these vents, you can even see the heat pipe sticking out there. Every single one of these is full of these dense, dense cooling fins. And the fans inside are no slouches either. Check this out. OK, when I got my mic close to it, hit it. You can really hear them spin up. There goes a benchmark. Are we in overboost mode right now? Very nice. So how hot is this right now? Ninety-nine degrees, yes. Ninety-nine degrees? Yep. Even when it sounds like that. So we got 1.427 volts on the core right there. 1.39 was the highest. But it's running at like four up to 4.8 gigahertz. Yeah, so that's like pretty crazy. OK, but can it hold that speed at 99 degrees? No, it's going down to like 4.3, 4.4, something like that. OK, so what's our next step? Why does it have a dedicated Xbox button? We want the ROG Gaming Center, right? Yep. OK, going full manual. So apply manual, yes, we know. You can damage your stuff. And now you just want to get rid of that and restart it because it's just bad all around. So I noticed you forgot to bring tape before for our DIY shroud. What do we need tape for? For our DIY shroud. We take duct tape and we kind of like, it's called duct tape. So we build a duct, do that, and then we put a blowing matron on there. We'd want the blowing matron like down here, wouldn't we? So then it's helping the fans not blowing against them. No, no, no, it would suck out. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. We need another power supply. Can't provide enough power for four blowing matrons. They each draw five amps. Five amp fans. This is so stupid. Here's where we're going to find out how well it handles it with just its own fans, right? Like in fairness to the laptop, if it does it OK, then we won't need any of this stuff. It's not going to. Yeah, I don't think it's going to either. So what do we want here? We want to go for 1.7. 1.27, not 1.7. Can we make the Turbo Boost Power Max 100 and... Oh, yeah, it can go up to 200 according to its own defaults. All right, that's a... Yeah, 215 seems fine. Apply. Da da da. Laptops. Laptops were not made for this kind of thing. That moment when you need an external 750 watt power supply to run your laptop. Just the fans. Just for the fans. Oh! We're going to have to secure those somehow. 4.8 gigahertz at 1.27 volts. It's been stable for the last 20 seconds, which I think is good enough. That's pretty good stability testing. Yeah, good work. OK, so we're going to try five. What's the CPU temp right now? 93. Yeah. I wonder if we just run Cinebench now though, if it'll be better. Blue screen. All right, do you want to just say screw......faffing around with this and just liquid metal it right now? No more fine tune. Oh, sure. All right, let's liquid metal it. Oh, my finger. Don't squeeze it together. Like a typical iFixit tear down is so professional. It's just like two guys reaming on a laptop. Oh! Oh! Ah! Uh... Uh... Oh! Did you hear a screw fall? Meanwhile, this is the battery. You don't buy a gaming laptop for the stellar battery life. All right, so there's our GPU. It's a BTX 1080, and I haven't seen this in a long time. The CPU, that Core i9 CPU, has the same number of heat pipes to it as the entire GPU, GPU VRM, and GPU memory. Oh, that's cool. Here's the... it's got a built-in Xbox controller doodad. I think the whole assembly has to come off. They went through the bottom of that. Oh! All right, well, that's one way to do it. The GPU and the GPU have some kind of a barrier on them already. So we've got four-phase power over here, and then we've got this gigantic rectangular die, and then this, like, trippy rectangular package. So you can see here the PCI Express link to the GPU is just right there on the surface level of PCB. We're gonna do the GPU while we're in here, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. Cool. Oh, I forgot about that side. So next step is to get some liquid metal prepared. Whoop! Oh, I dropped it on my hand. Ah, it burns! No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, you can eat that stuff and you'll be fine. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. I wouldn't recommend it. Gallium is fine, though, to eat. Like, it's safe. But it's fine! Watch! Well, people always say, like, could you cool a person with liquid metal? No. Who says that? What are you talking about? People on the forums all the time. It's still beating in a big way. It's probably just not warm enough, whereas the CPU was sitting in my hand like this the whole time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so as long as we put this on perfectly, we won't get any excess liquid metal all over anything. I wonder what Asus is going to think watching this. All right, let's put this thing back together. So the cooler is back on, so technically we could run a test now. It doesn't have storage in it. That's fine. That seems easy enough to remedy. Yeah, I'm sure they'll work without screws. No, we could flip it over. It should be okay. We could also just put the bottom on it. Ah! Alex, you only live once. This laptop might only live once. See? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! It booted. Well, let's do it. I'm going to give it 1.3. It's not going to be stable. I think that will be fine at 1.3. All right. Start testing. Okay, I guess you were right. A little bit. Okay, 1.45 this time. 1.45. All right. It's beautiful. Fuck it is. Oh, wow. That is beautiful right there. That's way better. 5 GHz. 80 degrees. Holy crap! Why is the score lower? What just happened? Oh, wait. This is maximum. Oh, no. Current. Current. It's way down. We were looking at the wrong damn column. Oh, the power max is at 160 watts. Let's just unlimited all the things. Okay. And trying again. It is still hitting the current limit though. It is too. I think we need to drop the voltage. Oh, yeah. 3.9. This one hits. This one's hitting 4 point something. Okay, we have to drop the voltage. Boom. All right. Unstable. 1.4. 25. Let's split the difference. Oh, current limit. Wait. We're riding the line. And we're hitting 94 degrees. Oh, is that our fastest yet? Yep. I think so. Yep. Okay. So let's try 1.415. This seems to be a matter of just finding exactly the right balancing point. It's thermal throttling now. But now it's thermal throttling. Oh, that was even higher. That's even. This is our highest score yet. We almost broke 1500 in Cinebench. So now all we have to do is cool it down a bit more. Yep. Okay. Bring on the Blowing Matrons. You want black or you want gray? I'll take black. All right. Let's do this. Should we shut her down for now? Does it need to be shut down? Well, why don't we investigate a little bit first. There's three heat pipes from the CPU to this one. So this is clearly the main CPU cooler. Yeah. So really though, this is the only one that we have to beef up probably. Build out some bottom ducts like this. And then it will it can stick to that so that it's less likely to fall over. I think that's good. Okay. So this is a bit of a delicate operation. Well, that looks perfectly legitimate. Yeah. I see nothing wrong with this. This might just work. Should we like slowly ramp it up? What? Okay. So you're just thinking full force right from the get go. 38 37 36 So we just dropped like six degrees at idle. Yeah. Let's go. It's go time. I want to put another one on. I don't even think we're going to need it. Really? Yeah. Cause remember too, this one's probably going to suck from the other one too. True. Let's go ahead. Hit it. Alright. Are you even at 12 volt? Yeah. Can you go higher? So 16 volts? Alright. Okay. Here we go. 70 at 82? Oh, is it going to hold? I think it's going to hold. I think it's going to hold. 92, 94. Come on baby. Finish. Come on. Come on. Oh baby. No way. We got 59 in there too. I know right? We hit like 94 degrees. And no throttling. 5 gigahertz in a laptop. Thanks to Redneck Engineering and Blowing Matron.
