2023 ASUS ROG Strix G16 Cooling Defect Investigation

By Bruno OrtegaDeceptive Trade Practice, Product Defect

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is actively investigating reports that the 2023 ASUS ROG Strix G16 (model G614JV) suffers from a critical cooling defect where CPU and GPU fans fail to resume operation after the laptop wakes from sleep. Users report that the fans remain at 0 RPM, leaving only the mid-fan spinning and resulting in overheating. Only a full power cycle appears to restore normal fan behavior.

ASUS ROG Strix Raises Thermal Reliability Concerns

Community reports describe repeatable failures during normal sleep/wake usage. Common user-reported issues include:

  • CPU/GPU fans stuck at 0 RPM after resuming from sleep
  • Overheating and throttling within minutes of wake
  • Mid-fan spinning but insufficient to cool the system
  • BIOS updates attempted without resolving the problem

Affected Owners Face Risk of Hardware Damage

Without functional fans, systems rapidly overheat, creating potential long-term damage to CPUs, GPUs, and power delivery components. Standard updates and troubleshooting provide no lasting resolution.
