@@JarrodsTech I love your reviews but have to ask. Why don't you include the decibel reading for just gaming? I don't think most people will be running stress tests on their systems most of the time and or using turbo as much as normal/balanced modes

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

I do sometimes. The honest answer is it's too hard. When I test I start at idle then do the stress tests. To finish the stress tests I need to use a cooling pad, but moving the laptop means after I take away the cooling pad it's not in the same place for a perfect distance comparison. So I'd have to stop one sort of test, change to different test to film sound, then redo both with cooling pad, basically it's just a bit more effort and usually I'm not bothered as the result could vary by game and I'm fine with just showing worst case scenario

I'm confused why the Zephyrus S would have less battery life with more battery. I haven't finished the video though, it's not like it's being pushed hardly on a battery test.

@utiantew 4 года назад

Believe it or not, I think the zephyrus fans are much more power consuming with 12v fans since the laptop is so compact they need better cooling solution, rather than the 5v fans for most laptop. Though I'm not sure if that's the case.

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

I have Scar III since month, let me share my findings: - Thermal paste by Asus is very bad, after repasting with mx 2, CPU stress test runs 7 degrees cooler (with UV it is max 74 degree) - Armoury create Performance and Turbo mode increases CPU and GPU heat drastically, while it does not really offer more FPS in games. I Suggest to use windows profile, ike that world of warshups runs 18 degree cooler (64), Anthem 8 degrees cooler (under 80) with same FPS, also it is much more quiet. - I also checked firestrike, score, it was around 13600 points witrh i7-9750H+rtx 2060, CPU max 4300 Mhz, max 81 degrees. I think it is fair enough.

I might get higher FPS if I only run the highest benchmark once as the machine won't quite be as hot / PL2 will still be in use on the CPU. When I do my testing, I test all setting levels starting from the lowest preset and work my way up, so by the time I get to max settings that I use for these comparisons, it should be performing a bit worse as if you had actually been playing for a while.

Escape from tarkov isn't really that much of a hard game to run, I could easily run it at Max settings with about 70-90fps with a laptop that had 16gb ddr3 ram and GTX 1080. You should probably go for the one that doesn't heat up easily and is a convenience for you.

Because of the heat distribution alone, I would pick the Scar III. After 1 year of use the Zephyrus will have some dust inside it, making it probably overheat and potentially damage the laptop components. And also I do not like that both have cooling vents facing your right hand where your mouse is. That will be incredible annoying when gaming and the fan blowing hot air at full speed.

Cheers Ryan! I don't remember that being something that I noticed with mine from memory, I guess you could maybe see if you look at the thermal camera testing at idle and see if mine looked warmer. If I didn't include that in this video, it will be in the full review

Great review again jarrod 👍 can you make a comparison between the Asus Zephyrus S gx701 and this new Zephyrus?

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

Thanks! Probably not as the GX701 I tested was almost a year ago with 8th gen CPU, maybe if they send me the new one with same specs I could do the comparison fairly.

Ok, wow! An amazing comparison! The SCAR III has a LOT of stuff good stuff (like 2.5 inch HDD bay), but the Zephyrus S just seems to blow the SCAR out of the water due to G Sync! I also like the price of the Zephyrus S! It's just above $3K! That's amazing compared to the $6K G703 and the $2200 I paid in mid 2014 for an ASUS laptop with a GTX 870M!

Hey Jarrod, quick question, when you plug a VR headset via USB type-c (display support) in the scar III, it doesn't go through the intel GPU right? i'm planning on buying a valve index for mine but i wanted to know if performance would be affected by optimus in this case, thanks!!

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

I didn't test the display output of the Type-C so can't say, I'd assume not, but do not know sorry. I'll try to test this better going forward.

@emin1471985 4 года назад

That's exactly my current dilemma. I am thinking about either a Hero III G731 (with nvidia rtx 2070) or a Zephyrus S GX502 (also with an rtx 2070). I dislike the fact that Zephyrus does not have a 17 inch version (unless you buy a 701 model with a weird keyboard and touchpad location), and that it lacks buttons on the touch pad, as well as a LAN jack. Hero III is more preferable for me in this sense. I however can see that Hero III is a bit slower and I also really don't like its overall design that much. All in all - I'm still indecisive about which model to pick :(((

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

I'd go the GX502 and just plug in a larger screen when at home if you want more than 15"

@emin1471985 4 года назад

@@JarrodsTech Thanks a lot for your reply! I am also thinking more about gx502. One more concern that I have about it though is that overheating might be a problem in the long term. I see that Zephyrus is much hotter at high performance modes. Plus I've read that a device is less durable if it's constantly too hot. I would like to be able to use the laptop for at least 4-5 years if I pay so much for it :) My current ROG G55V tends to heat a lot but I've been using it since 2014 and it's still ok.

@stevenoconnor83 4 года назад

Would love to see an under volt how to video for the GX502. What do you use and what process do you take to get a stable under volt? Also do you under volt graphics ?

@shinraO4 4 года назад

I feel like the reason your channel has lower subscribers despite having all this in-depth content is that most people are overwhelmed by all the information you're throwing at them and they just go for shorter videos. Maybe if you could include a clearly shown TL;DR section in your videos it would help? Idk, just my feedback from what I've observed

Anyway I do do a conclusion in the last few minutes covering all the important points, in this video it starts at 19:38

@shinraO4 4 года назад

@@JarrodsTech I agree with everything you're saying; the only point I'm getting at is your content is a lot better than everything else I've found yet it isn't translating into more views and I think that that is due to a lack of only a few presentation elements. Other youtubers only have the "summary" part presented, making the viewers do the hardwork of looking into the details; you are already doing that, why not make it easier for people to have a better experience by providing a better overview For example, the summary section of your video, maybe you could put it in the start of the video or if you think that'll just make people stop watching after that section, maybe put a timestamp in the description? Idk, I'm just kinda mad not enough (relatively) people are seeing your content.

@RodOverwatch 4 года назад

I have the scar 3 and if you raise the TDP to 60W and undervolt at .15v you get way better results, also you get higher frame rates if you run games on a second monitor, I usually got 180fps on overwatch with built in display and using an external display I get 240 to 300...

@SarveshSurve 4 года назад

I am confused between zephyrus and zenbook duo. Which one is better for normal gaming and academic use??

@gamersanditparadise 4 года назад

The only benefit in getting the Scar is, in case when someone needs to max out the CPU. Zephyrus goes upto the i7, whereas the Scar 3 has an option for the i9 as well. So if someone's considering the Scar over Zephyrus, he should go for it only if he opts for the i9. Else the Zephyrus which has Gsync, and is lighter, is better any day.

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

Yeah 8 cores could be a good option if you need it, granted no idea how well that one performs in terms of thermal/power limits.

@gamersanditparadise 4 года назад

@@JarrodsTech Luckily power limits can be overrided using Throttlestop. I have the i7 variant of the Scar and have set PL1 to 100Watts. Cinebench R20 goes upto ~3150 points averaging 80-85C at 75 Watts and full 4 GHz. So if PL1 can be boosted manually on the i9 version, the i9 would be worth it - they do ship the i9 with faster CPU fans, so I guess it could handle a bit more heat from the i9.

@ForsakenLineage 4 года назад

Would it be possible for certain models to be undervolted out of the box and not have that show up in readings? As you mentioned in the video, the Zephyrus couldn't be pushed anywhere near the Scar III, but the results in CPU tests are more impressive even without any undervolt. The 17 inch Hero III (basically a Scar III with other design elements) that I own also has similar results to the Zephyrus here while I can't undervolt it further than -0.041 and have it fully stable. In other videos I've also seen people with the 17 inch Scar/Hero not being able to push it past -0.050-0.075 unlike the 15 inch version which tends to go far lower, which makes me wonder if it's just coincidence and silicon lottery or some hidden factory tweak.

@JarrodsTech 4 года назад

Don't think so, at least I've never seen that. I've speculated in the past that maybe they buy better binned chips for the Zephyrus, so they already perform with less voltage but as a result can't undervolt as far. That's just speculation though, I have no idea.

I guess if I want to add more pricing links I should also do all the other countries that have higher watch percentages, but then it gets too big and unsustainable.

@@JarrodsTech Thanks for replying, that's completely understandable with the audience side of it.
