Asus gl502vs

[Over9000Dude]

How loud does the gl502vs run under heavy load?

[Pendragon]

it doesnt. it can't operate underload. it'll throttle. the charger isn't even rated to charge the 1070 and quad core underload. so rip.

@Pendragon Does the new 7th Gen models also have the same problem or has Asus updated the power adapter ?

Oh.. GL502VM 7th Gen has come out. So I thought they would have launched the VS along..

I ment hands on. I don't think they tell you in the specs sheet. I've tried to look. The Skylake models 1070 model came with a 180w adapter. That's not enough. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL502VS-Notebook-Review.171567.0.html

 

non-oced versions already push 183w. if you factor in oc, you are completely fucked. i'm assuming they kept the same power adapters and just refreshed the design. They need to come with the 230w variant for the 1070.

Yeah I was practically worried about my 230W adapter on my P650RS (Which OP should look at instead) 180W is pitiful for a 1070 and quad core.  RIP with an OCed 6820hk and OCed 1070.

ikr. i was worried too. and i have a tdp limited 1070. i feel like if you go really hardcore you can pull close to the limit here.
