Is it possible to identify the photo and note the location of each part?
Is it possible to identify the photo and note the location of each part?
I possess a ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023) laptop.
Someone shared an image of the underside without the lid, but no one has explained the positions of the CPU and GPU. I’m looking for someone to draw arrows indicating these components. No online resources have clearly described this area.
The CPU is positioned under the smaller mounting bracket on the right side. It's clear because a RAM slot is situated very near it for data and signaling purposes. In your setup, the RAM slot is directly beneath it. This leaves the left side with the GPU, which has a bigger contact area for the cooling system. This ensures both the GPU chip and its surrounding VRAM ICs are adequately cooled.
In summary, CPU is on the right, GPU on the left.
Moved the discussion about components from the Components section to the Laptop General Discussion section.

Anyone please verify if the vapor cooling chambers are present at the junction where the CPU die connects to the liquid metal thermal paste? It seems the liquid isn't passing through the heat pipes, is it?
EDIT: Based on what I understand, if it were a vapor chamber setup, it would likely replace the entire heat sink and appear as a solid metal surface rather than the current pipe configuration.
