@GenTechPC thanks for carrying this laptop and having it in-stock! You just shipped mine today and I can't wait to see how my games run on it! I, for one, am LOVING the return of translucent cases on electronics! Everything that was cool in the '90s and early 2000s is starting to make a comeback! ^_^
You are welcome.
Hello guys,
Great video! I greatly appreciate the use of a sound meter and your infrared camera. I am leaning towards the scar 18 over the GT 77 titan.
Thanks again for answering all my questions
Great laptop and can't wait for another unboxing video!
Scar 16 video coming soon. :)
Hello! @@GenTechPC Can I get an email address for business inquiries, Q&A and customer support?
How much faster is top spec manual top fan mode under wolted ect to maximizebperformance to its best than the same top speck miniled 16.
can you show the disasembly process? how are you removing fans etc?
weight with power supply and also the thickness of the laptop?
What was that blue colour compound or paste when you diassembled the laptop and what is it called. Because I have serviced my previous laptop and on that I have replaced thermal grease but there was not blue paste.
what does your unit show when you go to : windows 11 - setting- bluetooth & devices- devices?
mine shows :
-pci to pci bridge
-universal serial bus (usb)controller
-usb root hub (usb 3)
Thanks brother for Amazing video
The sides aren't intakes, they're ALL exhausts.
Nice video! Theres somethin i dont understand. There is liquid metal on the cpu and gpu but theres also thermal paste applied to them? Im confused...
There is just liquid metal on CPU and GPU, no other paste.
Thank you.
Did you notice any Coil Whine while doing the benchmark tests or gaming and also during normal day to day stuff like CZcams, Browsing etc?
There's coil whine noise cos i got this model,ill send t back for a refund.
I noticed some noise in my Scar 17 SE 3080ti. It is possible that it comes from nvme drive, read something about it and was surprised it sounds a bit like old hdd noise. I`m not going to send mine to asus to investigate. Laptop works perfectly and I`m really happy, it`s a great machine
@@tomoblasz2028 nvme doesn't make noise,the noise might be coming from gpu ,coil whine noise they call it....
@@derekcranson2307 some make noise czcams.com/video/KS-BHI667po/video.html
Hey Syn Stark,
I have Coil Whine on my model too. Here is my video:
czcams.com/video/DQ9Q3r3uu5k/video.html
It is using Blender, Gpu mode on and interactive render in the viewport. When you move in the 3D scene.
I also have much harder bzzing in God of War and in some render.
The Scar 18 it's an AMAZING laptop, Power and Display SUPER!!...pity for this coil.
I would like to know if there are model without it...??
I have ordered also a MSI Raider to test it.
I have returned but I had a MSI Creator Pro X17 with RTX A5500 and there was any coil at all. Only problem a crackling sound (I think the cooling was the problem).
It seems like these are impossible to get in my country still even the ASUS website for my country they have zero in stock.
i am having blue screens and gpu failure with the rtx 4070 on my Strix G18 G814JI , does anyone else has issues with the Rtx gpu?
detailed review when?
Wait, I think something is missing. Where's the keystone or did they discontinue it?
No keystone on Scar 18 and 16. Maybe will have it on Scar 17 with AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX.
Need a faster Ram option on these Asus models. 4800 mhz is the main thing holding these back, and you guys should be able to install 5600 mhz. Might consider upgrading my Msi Gp76 that i got from you guys nearly 2 years ago for a G18 strix, but will wait till better Ram options are available, and ideally one with Zen 4.
Faster RAM won't run at 5600MHz due to chipset bandwidth limitation with 13980HX CPU installed, for 5600MHz it will need to run at lower CPU such as 13950HX or 13900HX.
@@GenTechPC How is it that Msi Raider such as the Ge78HX with the 13980hx are able to run at 5600 mhz though... Atleast according to HidEvolution. You guys only have 4800mhz listed though for it as well. I have only bought from you guys before and trust you, but there is no chance that the HidEvolution is wrong on this I'm afraid. Maybe you should look more into it, since other resellers are able to do it.
There are already verified reviews and benchmarks posted on the GamingLaptop reddit featuring the Ge78HX with 13980hx and 5600mhz of ram, so this isn't some imaginary concoction on HidEvolution's part, it's reality.
The reviewer noted that Msi claimed the Raider was only 4800mhz, so it was a mistake on Msi's part (since it clearly is running out of box at 5600 mhz). You guys should update your Msi Ge78Hx on the website to display it as 5600 mhz, its the exact same model as the one on HidEvolution, but people looking at the 2 of them will assume your version is inferior (eventhough its the exact same one) due to the crippled Ram.
Perhaps the issue is with Asus bios, but its most assuredly not a 13980hx limitation.
@@GenTechPC thanks for that explanation, I've seen that some competing models, such as the Gigabyte Aorus 17X, ARE running 5600 mhz RAM, but they have either a 13900HX or a 13950HX, so that explains the difference for me. Much obliged.
Just get a lenovo legion PRO 7
@@haki3353 Sadly just 16' models, otherwise i'd consider going Lenovo. Wish they had 18' or even 17' models. Maybe next year they will..
Did you hear any Coil Whine and would you consider it excessive compared to other units?
Did not hear coil whine at all.
As other reviewers have stated clearly in their videos, the amount of coil whine can vary from one laptop to another, even on the same model. And it's only noticeable when the system's idle, once you're actually playing a game or doing anything else that generates heat, the fans will kick in, and the coil whine is no longer audible over the fan noise at that point.
They should make the cover fully transparent, would love to see the internals
Naw bro that should be optional because for me it'll looks like an unfinished manufactured product
I‘d love complete seetrough covers.
Hell no
That wouldn't look good at all you are a real nerd😂
So much want. Wow.
i want buy with 16GB Memory so inside its ram 2 x 8gb or one in 16 ? and which brend u reccomend buy like ram and ssd ? and i can add 2 tb ssd ? and what u reccomend buy new ram like 2x = 16 gb or just add one 16 ?
usually better to have 2 sticks instead of one.
Meu sonho...lamento não ter condiçoes de realiz-lo, sonho dia apos dia desde o lançamento, não canso de ver os videos deste modelo, simular configurações ultras e sempre positivamente pensando em ter uma maquina desta nas minhas mãos um dia. Gosto de Games e o que tenho não suporta estas novas tecnologias. Agradeço a Deus por isso, sempre falo aos meus filhos que um dia papai vai ser abençoado em usufluir deste recurso maravilhoso. Meu sonho continua.
My dream...I regret not being able to make it come true, I've dreamed day after day since its launch, I never tire of watching videos of this model, simulating ultras settings and always positively thinking about having a machine like this in my hands one day. I like Games and what I have does not support these new technologies. I thank God for this, I always tell my children that one day Dad will be blessed to benefit from this wonderful resource. My dream continues.
ty for completely guting it and showing us liquid metal.... i wonder whats under 3th fan tho...
Mobile HM770 chipset.
If you guys carried the Asus G18 that would be awesome. Though availability of that one is probably very low.
Yes supply is very limited.
That one seems to be a Best Buy Exclusive for an as yet undisclosed number of months. Even Asus won't sell it in their own online store yet.
@@TheOriginalJackTChance Probably. Does not stop other people/companies from buying them all and up selling them though.
Is it loud enough that you could hear it thru headset?
That's going to depend on which headset you use. A good noise-cancelling model, such as those made by Audio Technica, Bose, and other quality companies, should be able to get rid of virtually all of the fan noise. If they can cancel out most of the noise from the jet engines on an airplane flight, a laptop's cooling fans will be child's play by comparison!
70deg on the gpu and 80deg on the cpu doing nothing but sitting on the desktop?
Nice Demonstration ! but im sure you may wanna invest in a better camera .... poor picture quality overshadows your calm narration n visual information
Recycled plastic?
which laptop is better? Asus scar 18 4090 or msi raider ge78 4090
Of course MSI, better build, better materials, better cooling performance AND NO COIL WHINE.
Everyone promotes ASUS, but the truth is that MSI is better.
I had G16 and G18 and returned. I bought MSI Raider GE78HX and I will not exchange for any ASUS.
@@sajmon6747 did you take 4080 or 4090? it is also not clear why you are comparing the budget version of asus g18 with the top version of msi. should have been compared with Scar 18
Where can I buy this laptop I check Amazon and newegg they both are out of stuck
There is a link in the description to GenTechPc site. I can vouch for them, they did a great job with Msi Gp76 in 2021 (11800H and 3070), providing free Liquid Metal and Thermal Pad upgrades, and good communication from Ken (owner of GenTechPc).
GenTechPC.
@@GenTechPC Hi! Can you make a review on the 16 version of Asus Scar with comparison between the 16 and 18 in the near future? I would love to watch it and maybe consider buying one
@@xofox_studio Asus haven't start shipping the Scar 16 yet, but yes we will make video when it's available around first week of March.
@@GenTechPC Alright, looking forward to it👌
do you deliver to morocco?
Yes we do ship worldwide.
G Sync supported?
According to Asus, yes.
Interesting that you are getting 18700 on timespy when the g18 with an RTX 4080 is showing roughly 18400 - 18500 in timespy (thus, a very marginal difference...)
This vs msi ge 78?
I would say they are pretty much the same except the screen size. They both have 2 RAM slots, 2 SSD slots and a 330W power adapter.
Is it possible to remove the fans separately without removing the cooling system?
It doesn't look like it, no. The pipes are in the way.
Yes and no, heatsink is on top of the fan, you need to remove the heatsink before remove the fan. or you can just remove the fan without remove the heatsink, just make sure put back the fan properly.
Can you please make a video how to reverse the Raid 0 to 2 separate Disk Drives? Thank you!
Just go to the BIOS >Advanced> Intel Rapid Storage > and delete the RAID array.
@GenTechPC That would delete everything on the drive, including Windows and personal files, correct? How do you reinstall Windows after that? Sorry for all the questions. A video like this would help a lot of people, but if it's too much work, some pointers would help as well.
хороший ноутбук с 3 вентеляторами правда охлад какой не очень сильный. надо бы на 4 вентелятора тогда вообще отлично .
Why trackpad is leftside? why trackpad is clicking?
Your db meter is not off....it's WAY off
Nothing wrong with db meter.
Nice teardown, but I'm not seeing liquid metal.
at 12:07, that's liquid metal.
@@GenTechPC weird it looks like thermal paste and you said thermal paste in the video.
It's the more expensive scar 18 model right?
@@dp27thelight9 That's how liquid metal looks like.
7:10 97 degrees Celsius . YOU SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS, YOU DID NOT ! Very bad. Very hot.
it boosts up to 160 Watts while base is 60 Watts!!!! So it always gives you max performance through boosting until it hits TJ Max
i love that laptop but you could get that perfomance in a 1.8K Destop add 400 for display 200 for mice and keyboard and its still half the price
but can you take your desktop in your cabin luggage across the world?
@@INFERNOdll nah but ill never do travel by plane...
@@LouRaX Great. But the rest of us do
@@INFERNOdll honestly i did try the scar18... and i didnt like it... It gets very hot and has way less perfomance than my 4090 Destop... so far that i need DLSS Balanced in most of the games to achieve the same FPS as my desktop in native 4k and even on the intel GPU it has like 2 hours battery max.
@@LouRaX Oh yeah that's normal. I would never replace my desktop with a laptop but to have all that power on the go is completely worth it imo. As long as you need such power while traveling of course
Another reviewer running the tests in performance mode and getting 4080 laptop levels of performance.
Turbo mode is obviously loud but advanced users who buy this will likely undervolt etc
Maybe he is not running in Turbo mode.
Too loud
This thing benchmarks like crap compared to my GT77 titan 13VI.
Cool story bro 🤓
ugly off centre track pad and tiny chicklet keys on a laptop with that much room, yuk no thanks
cheap case, ugly degisn. i would rather go for alienware or msi or even gigabyte
Can it be charged with type c port?
No PD on type C port.
i can be charged via USB C 100 Watts
