As others have pointed out, it's the downside of the small form factor.

But the 4070 is a very energy efficient chip that can reach approximately 85% of its potential performance running at 65 watts instead of 125 watts. To run system substantially cooler you can just choose a lower performance mode or manually adjust things in G-helper.

For example I have the (even smaller) Asus Z13 ACRNM with the 4070 which runs at just 50 watts with 15 watts dynamic boost and the Timespy graphics score is 85% of a completely uncapped 4070 mobile system.

Regarding the 4060, paradoxically you may find that the 4070 actually runs cooler. This is because Asus has not changed the power limits between these two versions of the G14 but the 4070 can achieve the same performance as the 4060 at lower power. Given the choice between 4050, 4060, and 4070, the 4070 has the best power / performance curve.

I have the 4080 version and see temps approach 80C (CPU and GPU) playing Cyberpunk with pretty high settings. I wouldnt call this hot for a laptop at all. Especially at this form factor. 95C+ is where Id start worrying.

love the g14. I have a 2020 model and have really enjoyed it. Certainly it does get hot when gaming (as it should for this much power in a 14" form factor). It has held up great however. One disappointment is the degradation of the battery has been higher than I expected given I limit the charging to 60%. Overall I am still glad I bought one.

How hot is hot? I had a 15" Dell XPS that would have CPU and GPU running at >=99 degrees C with any load. That was within Dell's specs for the machine. Does this run cooler than that?

G14s have always ran hot because of the form factor. It's normal for them. There are methods to drop the temp a bit by disabling boost and stuff. Check the ZephyrusG14 subreddit for tips and instructions. It's something G14 users have had to deal with for years so don't think you're alone if you get one and are concerned.

Hmm. I guess I'll return my 4060 model I got for 1099 and get this for the 15-20% increase in frame rate

Open Box - Good available for $1180 near me, as always YMMV on actual condition but BB is pretty good about returns anyway.

Does anyone know why the clock speed is lower on this one than the 4060 version? https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/r...ries/spec/


You can see on this website that the 4060 is "ROG Boost: 2300MHz* at 125W (2250MHz Boost Clock+50MHz OC, 100W+25W Dynamic Boost)*".


Vs the 4070: "ROG Boost: 2030MHz* at 125W (1980MHz Boost Clock+50MHz OC, 100W+25W Dynamic Boost)*"

Is the boost clock lower this saving battery and achieving the same gaming performance or something?


edit: after doing some research, nevermind this is how the graphics cards are designed, not how Asus implemented
