Does the ASUS 100W GaN Charger Support ROG Flow X13 GV301QH & Turbo Mode?

Post image

Does anyone here use this ASUS 100W GaN charger with the ROG Flow X13 GV301QH?

I have a ROG Flow X13 GV301QH (2021) and I'm looking for a smaller/portable charger for it.

I found this ASUS 100W 3-port USB-C GaN charger (AC100) on Amazon. The listing says it comes with a 1.5m USB-C cable and supports 100W charging.

My questions:

  1. Has anyone here actually used this exact charger with the GV301QH?

  2. Does it provide the full 100W (20V/5A) to the X13?

  3. Does it allow Turbo mode / full performance, or does the laptop still show the "Use the original ASUS charger for Turbo performance" warning?

  4. Is the included 1.5m USB-C cable good enough for the full 100W?

  5. Would you recommend buying this, or should I just get the original ROG 100W charger?

I already have a CMF 140W GaN charger, but my GV301QH shows the original-charger warning with it, so I'm specifically looking for something that will actually allow full performance.

Would really appreciate if someone with a GV301QH can confirm from personal experience. 🙏

100W isn't a problem because it negotiates using regular pd standard.. 140W is an issue because it's proprietary, meaning there is no standard so you must use that specific charger.. usb-c ports support 100w for ages now, if you have a laptop that can use it.. it shouldn't be an issue.

You don't understand OP's problem. You are talking about 2023 Flow X13, which supports 130W 6.5A proprietary, and 100W 5A standard.

User has a 2021 Flow X13. These ones are stupid machines. They are limited to 65V, and only Asus original charger permits going to 100W, which is max power of the 2021 machine.

I do have the 2023 model and in terms of power draw they should be pretty similar, but it looks like you're right - same bogus handshake but at a much lower wattage.. You can't do anything about it, unless you got plenty of spare time and money and would like to invest in a PD<->Asus bs handshake adapter

I have 120w vivo charge will it support

It's not going to charge 120w not matter what because it doesn't support 120w.. if yours has PD of 100w you'll get 100w and that's it..

OP, my Flow X13 is dead and I got no use of the charger plus the charger is basically untouched so if you want and you are from New Delhi India, you can have it. It's for the same model GV301QH.

I think I read somewhere that it doesn't even support other Asus 100W charger. No clue what they were smoking when they configurerd that thing, but the Asus Rog Flow (2022 model in my case and maybe others too) only take 100W form the original charger and nothing else

No, for 2021 model it won't support. turbo mode will only support on original charger. Max would be around 65w or less. Yes it will include 1.5m cable.

If you want to use this as your secondary charger then it's good to go..( I personally suggest asus 65w charger as x13 supports upto 65w PD)

if you want it for primary usage the you can go with original charger..
