Fans ruin what could be an amazing experience4/28/2020 3:07:31 PM
Pros: - Powerful
- Great sound
- Great screen quality
Cons: - Fans are insanely loud and active
Overall Review: I loved this laptop initially. I can develop on and game on it without any issue. However, after a few months of use, it sounds like one of the fans started grind against something. It varies in loudness and is extremely difficult to diagnose. Regardless, it makes relaxing with this laptop extremely difficult. You can quickly google to see that there are a lot of problems with ROG laptop fans and support seems to assume you haven't done basic troubleshooting. If you can tolerate active and loud fans, this is a great laptop. The grinding noise is starting to wear on my nerves.

Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear you're not completely satisfied with your laptop. All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections, this is a random problem. ASUS provides warranty coverage in order to fix or repair any product that may stop working prematurely under normal usage. Try using a compressed air duster to clear any debris in your laptop. If you’re still experiencing issues, feel free to contact me if you have any technical or general questions. You can reach me at cl-adrian@asus.com. Your case for reference is N200482370.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!
Best Regards,

Very noisy ;( FPS drops shatters1/18/2019 12:37:43 PM
Pros: Good hardware on paper.
Cons: Fan starts all the time on balanced mode. Making huge FPS drops on gaming. Runing a game like Diablo 3 having huge fps drops fan always turning on and graphics are at minimum. Seems to get pretty heated on balance mode. Do not understand why its so noisy and shatters... Overall disapointed especaly for the price...
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Charles D,
We appreciate your feedback on this matter and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. The HyperCool Pro thermal system has a host of features to help Strix SCAR II get the most out of its GPU and CPU. There’s an extended cooling plate to spread heat evenly, and two high-performance 12V fans that deliver stronger airflow and increase air pressure to ensure a stable system even under heavy loads. For improved system stability proceed to update your BIOS to version 305. You can find the BIOS .cap file located on our Online ASUS Help Desk: https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ROG-Strix-SCAR-II/HelpDesk_Download/. If possible, give me a detailed description to any specifics in regards to your situation so we can collaborate towards a resolution. You can reach me at cl-adrian@asus.com.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!
Best Regards,

Cons: bluetooth doesnt work out of the box
call of duty was advertised as coming with it for a promo but this laptop does not actually qualify
Overall Review: i dont recommend newegg at all simply because ive been on hold for several hours on both the online chat and phone waiting to get support, and they falsely advertised this laptop coming with black ops 4
Pros: The laptop is a beat in term of performance and everything fit in a relatively small laptop. It's thin and not heavy. REally love the design and the "slikness" of it.
Cons: The hardware is not built to last clearyl. Got this one in April 2019. A week after I receive it, the HDD died. Then lately in oct 2019, the FAN on the GPU is Stuck or making very base bearing noise.
Overall Review: ASUS support is not flexible. They are not sending any parts for replacement. Thus, you need to send the unit to a repair facility.
