Review: Asus ROG Strix GL702ZC

Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

Well, you didn't expect a laptop outfitted with Ryzen 7 1700 and Radeon RX 580 to run cool now did you? It is no surprise to find that the ROG Strix GL702ZC gets hot under the collar during use. Both CPU and GPU temperature quickly rise beyond 80ºC, yet the readings are well within the limits. What's more of a concern is fan noise, which happens to be considerable. You can always hear the laptop and when the going gets tough it becomes frustratingly loud.
