ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT User Review after 2 Months

This is a very detailed review for the FX505DT-AL106T, bought for 52K. The summary is given directly below and the detailed review is given after. This should cover most of the details you might want to know.





Pros:
Very good performance both GPU and CPU
Excellent 120hz fluid display.
Very fast and capable 512 GB SSD.
Good Design including the RGB Keyboard.
Easy to open and upgrade.
Cons:
Poor Webcam
Heating issue out of the box for the CPU ( A solution included below).
Somewhat satisfactory Battery Life.

Detailed review:
The SSD is the Intel 660P which comes with a direct read and write speed of 1 GB/s and 0.8 GB/s respectively. Copy speed within the same SSD is around 400-450 MB/s which is still almost 10 times as fast as the normal HDD.

The Display has remarkable viewing angle and has respectable brightness. The matte cover helps very much in visibility even during mid day. The 120 hz refresh rate is a game changer especially if you ant to play games like PUBG, Apex Legends, etc.
The Keyboard is RGB supported but not individually lit or even zone lit, The entire key board will have one color or you can set it to cycle through the colors as well. The typing experience is good also.

The speakers have very good quality for the price even though it doesn't get very loud. The port selection is good but would have preferred a USB type - C and SD Card reader. The webcam is pretty low end and is just usable. Wifi is fast and is the Wave 2 type which is almost Gigabit level and has low latency which makes it somewhat capable for online gaming.
The laptop is easy to open and upgrade as all the main components can be reached just by opening the bottom panel but take care not to scuff the edges when the panel is removed as it is quite tight.

The solution to heating problem is to go into advanced power management and set maximum processor state to 99% which would prevent the Cpu from boosting. This would definitely reduce performance by 5-10% but the temperatures will be amazing at around 65-70 degrees stable.
