    Has the new BIOS 338 made your Ally stay around 80 degrees on 30w Turbo? Or worryingly high above 90 degrees? 👇

      Yes it got hot, but 80 degrees is fine.
      The device only gets too unbearable for me if I fast charge and play at 30 watts at the same time.
      Thankfully that period isn't too significant.

      my ally has pretty much lived at 95c in 30w its whole life and i have massive 6 hour gaming sessions regularly. its never been an issue. if you feel that it is a big issue for u just turn off cpu boost or make a manual fan curve to match the old curve.

    80 degrees is fine for these chips, I run mine at 80 all the time and never had an issue. AMD's real red zone is 105 degrees and it can't hit that temp, it'll throttle at 95 degrees.
    Always remember to keep CPU boost off to prevent thermal throttle.

    I have an aggressive custom fan curve. At 60 degrees both 1 and 2 run at 100% keeping my temp at below 70 degrees. The problem with this Bios update is that they want to degrees the noise from the fans. But the result is of course an higher temperature due to less motions from them. And I deactivated the boost modes I rather play with lower graphics than to have it run at 90 degrees through out the game sessions.

    I suspect Asus put the fan curves back to their original quieter state after realizing that ramping them up last year didn't help with the Micro SD problem.

    Playing on custom 25 watts never hit more than 80° , for me playing on 30 watt isn't Worth it, hotter and only 5 to 10 fps difference doesn't help much. So in my case the newest bios doing just fine 👍

  • @gugax10

    ROLL BACK THE BIOS. I was having problem with charger stopping and I did roll back and that fixed the problem. Even with custom fan curve the fans are not fast enough as in the old bios. Now my temps never go above 90°C even in 30w and charging. On the new bios I was getting 95°C with the fans at max.
    PS: I live in Brazil, a very hot country.

    • @gugax10

      More than that, it stops charging at +95°C and only goes back to a charging state when it drops below 65°C. This bios doesnt make any sense.

    Clickbaity titles and miss-information is terrible for the community.
    The temps not only are perfectly reasonable they were the original fan curves when the device first launched. I've been waiting for months for Asus to finally realize that the microSD card issue isn't heat induced and give us back our original fan curves and now that they have people immediately just to "OMG ASUS IS DESTROYING OUR DEVICE'S"
    If you want a cooler device they have fan control in AC blast the fans so she runs at 70c it won't make any noticeable difference in the longevity or performance of the device and just makes it sound like a gaming laptops jet engines.

    After 5 min of playing BF 2042 it stops charging. Been trying to lower setting and it still not enough. For a about 6 months been playing med to high setting at 1080 with fps at 47 to 57 with average of about 52. Temp around 88. Now 5 min in or less its at 95 degrees and am lucky if get another few min before the charger stops. wattsage drops from 30 to 25 and perfromance dips and battery drains about 5 percent per minute. Even droping settings and res down to 720 it still ends up running to hot. This is went from being amaing to borderline useless.

      SD card stops working because of a faulty fuse. It seems Asus figured it out since the fans are set to normal now. You can replace the fuse yourself if you are good with a soldering iron. Or send it to Asus.
