Question 1

I'm looking for a docking block for this laptop with a power-through set up.  It's not a barrel type power socket, or a thunderbolt (USB-c type) plug.  It is close to the thunderbolt but is more rectangular with squared off edges.  Can you tell me what this power plug is called so i can order a power-through docking block for it.  Maybe recommend a docking block for it?

Accepted Answer

Shown at the Asus website on the model number "FA808UP-NS74" on the "connectivity" tab, this connection is called an "Asus Slim Power Jack".

It's proprietary so good luck.

Question 2

Does the fan on the GNB ASUS TUF 18" R7 260 5070 16G 1TB FA808UP-NS74 run continuously?

Accepted Answer

I have this laptop.  About 3 months now.  Yes it does, but you can hardly hear it at all.  Now when you fire this bad boy up for a gaming session, of course it gets a bit louder, but still pretty quiet considering.  If you use a gaming headset you don't hear it at all.  I upgraded the RAM to 64 GB and it processes through everything I throw at it like a hot knife through butter.  The RGB keyboard is a little tricky to get set up right but it works great once you do get it sorted.  Hope this helps.
