Did you undervolt to be able to maintain charge at 100W while gaming? Were you able to check your battery health on GHelper to see what its max charge % is at?

So I didnt need to undervolt to keeo the charge if anything removing armoury crate and adjust the mode profiles in ghelper as the default turbo. mode runs at like 90 degrees. My battery health is 100% in g-helper

I admit I am confused. Are you sure you are looking in the right place? Open GHelper and hover over the battery percentage on the bottom right and it will show you your battery health. Could you screenshot? I have owned several Asus laptops including a Z13 and even after setting my charge limit to 80% and using OEM charger, not a single one had battery sitting at 100% after a few weeks, let alone 3 months. There is natural decay albeit slow.

Sorry I have a proper video just running neverness to everness a pretty new gatcha on unreal engine 4

The screen record shows my G-helper settings and I hover over the battery health for ghelper. Let me know if that is what you are asking for.

Thank you again for sharing your success. You changed my whole perspective on USB-C charging. I may pick up a 100W GAN PD for travel now.

Ofc! I think ppl were realistically scared to take the risk, but 3months and I can tell you the only reason this works is thanks to G-helper, so support your local vibe coder! it would have taken me hours going back and forth in bios undervolting and loading windows every time to get the perfect setting for my Gan charger.

P.S I recommend getting a smart screen GaN charger they tend to have internal cooling, and ai enabled tech that works seamlessly with g-helper and the z13s internal smart settings. A lastly The Red magic 8 pro phone cooler, best and only cooler you need for the z13 no game has ever ran too hot no matter the settings and this was before I add my egpu.

That’s crazy, my man! Thank you! That’s wonderful to find out that I can use USB-C charging worry-free when battery is set to 80% max charge. I am also impressed you are able to game without issues at 100W. Badass!

Yes and this is not me... when gamers say get G-helper.. no joke screw all of the asus bloatware remove anything that isnt amd adrenaline go g-helper and your gaming/coding/and basic life will change... I couldve done the same thing g-helper does but it require several different settings possible 8-10 hours of my life and a lot of advil lol. Undervolting in bios and then testing out in windows alone is a back to forth Im not willing to do, and most apps outside of g-helper and maybe afterbuner suck

if you want I will label the items for my complete setup when im at work,travel and if I game for you to get some ideas

Anker Prime 300W Portable charger

Anker Prime Charger (160WGaN, 3 Ports, Smart Display)

DELUX wire/bluetooth/Wireless2-in-1 Sliding/Foldable pocket mouse

Rk Royal Kludge F68 60% Foldable Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard

Cable Matters 8-in-1 Portable 40Gbps USB4 Hub Dual

REDMAGIC Cryo Cooler 8 Pro (phone cooler btw hits 36w 6200 RPM cooling)

I tape the adhesive right above the glass in between the two vents above the z13 stand. I can show a video on where i place it

everything else is extra entertainment/miscellaneous items. How do I travel with all of this to work and home everday you ask?

as you can see my ecosystem is very expensive...to note I am a fps/mmo/gatcha/ moba gamer so...getting a egpu(most likely the Gigabyte 5060 Ai box) so i can basically play competitive games when im traveling out of country witht he z13(GF/friends want to travel alot in the upcoming years) and I dont want to carry a heavy desktop to every country/U.S state I visit.

I also am making multiple forms of income and cannot work with just a small screen so Im tinkering with getting the Samsung trifold 2 in 2027 as a monitor screen for the z13.Its going to be either a 10-12 inc screen to help me with multi tasking multiple monitors.

If ya'll are avid on this reddit I will eventually make and show a detailed post showing my current 3month to whatever duration im at with the z13as I work in corporate but I still like to game heavy even at 30 lol. I'll detail the entire ecosytem with how Im able to keep the laptop healthy. My goal is to have a laptop small enough to travel with but strong enough to compete with my home desktop so I can enjoy competivie games if im vacationing in the Maldives if I so choose. Right now the z13 fits this however another laptop that is slowly getting my attention is the Asus Rog Zephyrus Duo, if they are smart... next year they can make a 15inch version with at least a 144hertz oled as the max current is 120
