As you may already know, Asus offers a few performance profiles for its ROG gaming laptops, one of which is called “Silent,” which emphasizes keeping overhead fan noise below 35 dBA.
The problem is that this silent profile has been hit or miss on all Asus ROG devices I’ve used over the years, and it was particularly bad on the Zephyrus G14 GA403 I recently tested.
I’m particularly interested in silent specs on computers like the G14, which is primarily a compact, all-purpose device, not a gaming machine. As such, I’d expect potential buyers to only game in their free time and opt for low noise levels whenever possible.
Now I’ve shown you that this 14-inch laptop is a great gaming machine in both the 4060 and 4070 configurations, and is even capable of running most modern games at above 60 fps at 2.8K resolution and ultra settings. But in Turbo mode, the noise rises to 48 dBA.
However, the default silent mode is inconsistent and doesn’t make the most of this configuration and situation.
So I used the manual mode settings in the Armoury Crate app and set an optimized silent mode that still keeps the fans quiet at under 35 dBA but provides better gaming performance and a more consistent gaming experience.
So here are the settings. We’re getting a little complicated here, but understand that you can easily reproduce these settings yourself using the instructions and images below:
CPU, GPU, and system fans are set to 40% RPM when the temperature is above 60°C.
For the CPU, I limited the SPL power to 15W to deliver as much power as possible to the GPU. As you’ll see later, the total combined performance in this mode is thermally limited, but we’re still working to achieve the highest TGP of the graphics chip, as that’s the most important factor in gaming frame rates.
For the GPU, I set a temperature limit of 80 degrees Celsius, which means that the system will adjust performance and frequencies to avoid exceeding this limit. You might think that 80°C is a pretty low limit, and perhaps you can set it higher than 82-84°C, but I chose a setting that I thought was safer for long-term use. Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Battery
I must point out that this mode is not suitable for daily use and general multitasking, as it cannot run at high clock speeds due to severe CPU limitations. If you plan to use a similar device in daily use, do not limit the SPL and FPPT CPU performance settings in this way, otherwise the laptop will feel sluggish and laggy. These settings are only suitable for gaming, as they are designed to maximize GPU performance.
Of course, these CPU settings will also affect the loading time of games, which will take longer than other configurations. But in general, these settings bring better frame rates and lower 1% scores than the 20-25W power allocation. Still, you can try these settings for yourself.
