Review: Asus ROG Strix GL702VM

Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

Core temperatures are a bit of a mixed bag. The GL702VM has no trouble taming the Core i5 processor, but the GTX 1060 GPU does get hot when gaming, causing the chassis to become uncomfortably warm. There's a reason for this, as Asus's default fan profile is surprisingly conservative. As a result, the laptop is barely audible when idle and doesn't get aggressively loud when the going gets tough.
