Question about ASUS laptop Ghelper temperature target settings
Hi there, fellow British and Scottish friends!
I found this really useful software called Ghelper for my ASUS ROG G15 laptop. After trying it out, it performs exceptionally well, boosting fan speeds too. But I have a question: when setting the temperature target to 87°C by default in the GPU tab under Fan settings, what happens if I adjust the slider to something like 75°C or 70°C? Would that also lower the temperatures for my RTX 3060 GPU? Does the Temperature Target feature help reduce GPU heat and enable earlier throttling? Is this a good approach for keeping overall GPU temperatures down? Thanks!
Assuming you own the 2022 model, the ROG Strix G15 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX processor, an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti graphics card featuring a MUX Switch and fast DDR5 RAM. It supports display resolutions up to FHD 300Hz or QHD 165Hz with Adaptive Sync.
If you're using the Ryzen HX model other than the RTX 3060, consider undervolting the processor via Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer. For your RTX3060, undervolting may also help lower the laptop temperatures.
You should pair this with applying a better thermal paste and replacing the thermal pads for improved performance.
I have the 2022 edition but it's a 7 6800HS with RTX3060 and it's a Zephyrus. I attempted to install Ryzen Master but encountered errors related to font rendering, specifically the message "this system is not supported." Some text appears distorted if you look closely.

The ROG Zephyrus G15 (2022) delivers speed and smooth performance with an AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HS processor, a GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti GPU, and MUX switch support. It features up to a QHD 240Hz/3ms display and Dolby Atmos audio from six speakers, enhancing every gaming session.

It seems the temperature target isn't available. I prefer avoiding thermal paste and internal components since my hands are bigger than usual and could easily cause damage. Plus, it uses liquid metal.
Setting the GPU temperature target in GHelper to about 70-75°C will cause your fans to activate sooner and operate more forcefully, helping lower GPU temperatures and preventing thermal throttling. It signals the system to begin cooling earlier, reducing heat buildup while potentially increasing noise. This approach is effective for maintaining stable temperatures, particularly on compact systems such as the ROG G15, where heat management is crucial. Monitor both noise and performance to achieve a suitable balance.
