a powerful PC, but handicapped by some dubious choices
I bought this Asus ROG G614JIR PC at the end of 2024, and frankly, it's hot... ??
?? Fans limited to death
Even in Turbo mode, the fans NEVER run at 100%. Really?! What's this programmed obsolescence nonsense?! They'd have you believe it's for "hearing comfort"??... But who cares! We want a PC that lasts, not a silent PC that will burn out.
?? Insane temperatures
The CPU heats up to over 95°C, and so does the chipset. And I don't do non-stop gaming or OC. As a result, it gets really hot, it throttles, and it kills the hardware. after only a few months of use.
?? Poorly managed GPU
By default, some games run on the ultra-weak integrated Intel card. Result: performance at half mast. I had to disable the iGPU myself so that the PC would use the real NVIDIA card. That worked much better.
?? Instabilities and black screens
I've had black screens after start-up, crashes, slowdowns... All this on an expensive machine, it's unacceptable.
