Switching over to the Performance/Balanced profile translates in the fans spinning much slower and quieter, at ~35 dB in this test. As a result, the CPU still runs hot and thermal throttles around 50W CPU stabilizing at just around 50W, and the scores drop to around 2000 points.

Far Cry 5, 6, Metro, Red Dead Redemption 2, Tomb Raider games – recorded with the included Benchmark utilities; To put these in perspective, here’s how this Ryzen 9 6900HS implementation fares against other mobile platforms in this test, both Intel and AMD. With these out of the way, let’s go over some performance and temperature logs, which are going to better explain some of our findings above. On to more demanding loads, we start by testing the CPU’s performance by running the Cinebench R15 test for 15+ times in a loop, with a 1-2 seconds delay between each run.

ROG's Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the optimum experience for each chassis and components, no matter what you're doing. For the Zephyrus G15, liquid metal thermal compound keeps your CPU cool. A self-cleaning thermal module clears dust to improve long-term stability, while dual Arc Flow fans spin redesigned blades to generate impressive airflow with minimal noise. ROG Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting controls to put essential settings at your fingertips in a single utility. You can easily define and customize Scenario Profiles that automatically make adjustments when you launch your favorite titles. Performance mode limits the fans to around 45 dBA at head-level and takes a slight toll on both the CPU and GPU performance. The internal temperatures remain very high on this mode, though. Here are some benchmark results on this Balanced mode: Power meets portability in the versatile ROG Zephyrus G15, which puts an incredible gaming in an ultra-slim chassis. Performance is fast and smooth with powerful CPU and GPU. A high-resolution gaming panel balances speed with rich detail to draw you deep into the action. Lush Dolby Atmos audio from six speakers immerses you in surround sound to enrich every entertainment experience.

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing. The build quality is fine, with a sturdy main chassis and only some flex in the lid. It’s not the sturdiest, but it’s not bad either. I haven’t noticed any squeaky noises in the main body, unlike in the past, so Asus seems to have slightly reinforced the construction for this model year. For the materials, the main chassis is made out of magnesium alloys, while the top is a white-coated aluminum. While at a first glance the 2022 Zephyrus G15 might seem like a minor update of the previous G15 models from 2021, in real-life this is now a better-balanced product than it used to be, and a much better-value buy in today’s environment. Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators - and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores. On the CPU side, it’s within 2-5% of the better AMD designs such as the ROG Zephyrus G14 and ROG Flow X16. Just keep in mind that those are capable of running quieter/cooler in sustained CPU loads.

Reviews for the Asus Zephyrus G15 GA503RW-LN030W

Both are among the most affordable models available in the performance thin-and-light space right now, more affordable than other Asus ROG laptops and the majority of other 2022 options from other brands. This thermal module does a fair job keeping handling the components inside this thin-and-light design. Both the CPU and the GPU run in the 80s in sustained loads, which are high temperatures, but understandable for this class. The white version of this laptop gets white keys with RGB illumination now, unlike the white-only implementation of the past. It’s single-zone, but still this means you can opt for a color that improves the contrast against eh white keycaps, such as some sort of Orange or Blue.
