Heat - ASUS ROG Phone II Real Life Review

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the ASUS ROG Phone II stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Phone still gets too hot if playing game in a long hours; PUBG (Max Setting) plus live streaming using Omlet Arcade apps, and i also encounter frame drop once temperature reach 47 degree C, using Tencent Version 12GB-Ram (China ROM). Armoury Crate for China ROM doesnt have "Temperature Control" option at "Scenario Profiles" , soo maybe this is the problem? Not sure.
The rest of the user(s), please share ur thoughts and experience over here!

Pubg at hdr/extreme is the only time temps crossed 44°C. Didn't notice any throttling still. When comparing side by side with my friend's OnePlus 7T, the heat & frame drops are almost similar in everygame. Using the back cover, I could feel the warmth, but not at all uncomfortable.
Weirdly Dota Underloads at max settings was the most taxing with the highest battery drain & most frame drops, but still didn't touch 47°C. It's the Indian variant and ambient temperature was 30°C throughout.

area around the vent heats up easily during gaming. prone to game* crash due to overheating when running max gpu for extended periods of time with no ventilation(was also testing game genie livestream function tho). recommend putting some kind of case that covers the frame adjacent to the vent area for minimum discomfort.
3/10 when gpu maxed. 6~7ish when moderate load
*game is honkai impact 3 if you want to know. late-game content burns the gpu at max graphics

Try playing pubg max setting and stream (using live stream app) or screen recording, u'll notice phone will get hot and temperature will hit 47 degree C.
Are u on WW ROM or CN ROM? Cause CN ROM doesn't have any temperature control at armoury crate

WW. Yes, it heats up quickly while streaming at hdr/extreme. Touches 46°C after 35mins. Pretty sure I'll feel the heat if I remove the back cover. I'm not surprised though, since my acer nitro 7 heats up while recording pubgM at hdr, let alone streaming. Streamers might have to turn on the air-conditioner.

Guys, ROG2 is design for heavy user gaming WITH AeroActive COOLER fan !, this parts is not include with 8GB Tencent version (Which why come with cheaper price).
For you have HEAT problem and don't have AeroActive COOLER fan,should consider buying this parts.

I am able to stream vainglory at full settings and aerocooler on and it stays at 41°c or so. The heat is never unbearable and have yet to have any game ever really drop frames to the point it was noticed. I mean 115 frames or 120 is not a big deal. I am using the worldwide version with 12gb ram and played vainglory while streaming for ~2 hours. The note 10+ was noticable in frame drops as it went from 60 to ~40 with the same setup. The heat dissipation is done quite well as far as I can see. Also the aero active cooler at max setting for the game profiles help a lot. Also charging it while doing the same thing will however make it much worse with the heat but still not hard enough on the cpu/gpu to cause concern .

I can confirm that Armoury Crate (Temperature Option) for CN & WW ROM does make the different for gameplay; Once i played PUBG with max setting and applied the temperature setting from WW armoury crate, i never encounter any frame drop once temperature hit 47 degree C.
I mean the armoury crate is not a gimmick and note that i didnt put on my active cooler when playing PUBG

[Q] Phone overheats while gaming

Hi,
I've been using G2 for the past one week. Within minutes of playing a game( `10 mins), the phone heats up a lot at the back where the camera is placed.
I dont even need to play high end games like NOVA 3. Just regular games like Candy crush, Cut the rope etc heats up my phone real bad.
It heats up so much that its impossible to touch it with your hand.
Please advice if anyone has faced this issue.
Regards
Georgi

Same with me, but only plants vs zombies 2 may be its just one game.
Please don't post same question in more than one thread. Your question belongs in the question and answer section where you have it now also. Not here please.
Same here. Maximum overheating is seen during plants and zombie 2.
Hi,
Guys you realize that you have a quadcore at 2.26 Ghz... And when you play a (heavy) game or some other heavy tasks (browsing in 4G for example) it's normal that the CPU heats, right?
Temperature is very subjective without reading the CPU temp with an app, it feels hot in your hand (you can have cold hands and in this case you feel much more the heat) and it's hot because the CPU temp is about 90°C is different...
Heat and overheat (or "maximum overheating" like above ) is different too..., in any case there is a thermal throttling that prevent overheating. Our CPU shutdowns at 120°C so there is a little room... Even 80°C is nothing for the CPU...
Even 90°C for the CPU temperature is almost nothing (for the the stressed people) and there is a thermal protection in any case. Thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq according to the CPU temp, same thing for the battery. And in case of extreme temperature -> shutdown.
And if you speak about "overheating" when playing a game or browsing while charging your phone...
Check your CPU temp with an app and report here...
It remembers me all the threads about "overheating" in the Nexus 4 forum...
I will definitely try installing a temperature app and will report the temp soon.
I'm worried that the heating takes place near the area where the camera is located. Can this have any adverse effect on the camera?

I cant vouch for a smartphone camera in general, but I know I had a newer regular old camera that sat in the sun and the heat for a day, and was perfectly fine. I don't see the heat damaging the camera.

Note 5 - CPU temperature

Hi all,
Loving the Note 5, but not loving so much how warm it seems to get in my hand, even under light/normal loading. I would be very interested to see some figures from other forum members. To make the test more accurate, I would suggest the following sequence.
MEASUREMENT 1
Close all open apps
Screen brightness 50%
Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)
Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal
Let the temperature settle down to a stable marker
Post temperature in celsius (apparently some of the apps have faulty Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion)
MEASUREMENT 2
Close all open apps
screen brightness full
Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)
Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal in the background
[*} Use camera app to film in UHD for 1 minute
Multitask switch to CPU temperature app
Read the temperature it reads immediately
Post temperature in celsius
MEASUREMENT 2
Random measurement...
Just any moment when you're doing light/normal stuff
Open the app and read the value in celsius
For me, the results are as follows:
Measurement 1 never goes below 30 degrees.
Measurement 2 was 73 degrees.
Measurement 3 is typically High 30's to high 40's.
1. 32C
2. 70C (within 5 seconds was down to 54C and within 10 seconds down to 42C)
3. 43C

I've been playing KOTOR and hearthstone without any issues or slow downs. Not sure how intensive KOTOR is though.

Just played through the tutorial thing in Vainglory and the CPU temp got up to around 60C
game ran just fine, no lag or slow downs from what I could tell.

Good! Maybe I would buy it if i knew i get updates and if it was cheaper!
Anyone else care to chip in? I'm starting to believe the warm in hand feeling is much more pronounced when I'm out and about and using 4G intensely (Youtube + browsing + Spotify). Here at home on WiFi it never gets as warm.
Played Angry birds 2 and PPSSPP emulator(cpu internsive) i do think that the Note 5 throttles, just like G4 or any other phone but not because of the temp, but the Interactive govenor is bugged.
I played tekken 6 on ppsspp and it played 35-50 fps with a bit of lag here and there, change to performance govenor, SAME TEMP, 60fps smooth NO LAG whatsoever, it made AB2 also way smoother.
It's the govenor that might cause the problem, not throttling.
Have to bring this back up to see if anyone is getting cpu spikes.
Coming from a nexus 6 that ran around 95°F on average. My N920T is always jumping from around 115°F to as high as 169°F. The temperature is never constant it's always going high to low. Trying to decide if I should exchange it.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

I've seen mine hit 80C (176F). This SoC just runs hot. Reminds me of Intel's mess called Haswell. Nothing to really worry about.

I've actually exchange that phone for a new one. The new one has a more stable temperature reading and only gets that hot in testing applications. The new one is much better. I couldn't last a day on the old phone, and it lost about 25% while I slept for 5 hours the day before I exchanged it.

The device does gets warm while playing games,
while playing asphalt 8, PUBG, or Rules of survival like high end games, the temperature maxes out at 43°C indoors. While in casual games,its 40-41.
I noticed heating while charging, it reached once 44 while charging, also, fast charging (with Indian 9V 2A adapter sucks a bit, its too slow, like a 5V 2A charger)
In general, while using camera, yes, it feels warm on back, and while playing games too, but after you are done, it gradually cools down. Heating is under control, pretty normal.
I have a Kirin960 powered P10 Plus, same story. Ice cold, until you put real stress on the CPU.
To be fair, Snapdragon and Kirin both are hotheads. Exynos remains cooler in general. (Though, of course, it also depends on what cooling solution does the manufacturer use.)

how is your experiance playing pubg and rules of survival? playing on ultra setting? i got some issue, but with my honor 10, using same cpu with v10, kirin 970. i noticed that in early game, the game run smoothly, with high fps and ultra setting, middle of the game, the phone start to heating up, and the game start to lag, framedrop. did u experience the same thing?
This phone can get a little hot when under a lot of processing pressure. Never got to the point where it was uncomfortable to use.

The phone substantially remains cooler than other smartphones even flagship phones like the one plus 6. A pubg gameplay comparison for an hour with the one plus 6 showed that the Poco f1 was 2°C cooler than the one plus 6. This is because of the liquid cooling inside Poco f1 which helps reducing heat improving performance, which definitely doesn't come in any other budget range smartphones.
I'd say it does get warm but gets cool faster
After running benchmark tests, it got to the temperature of 43 degrees as per battery stats but got cooler within 2-3 minutes.
I don't know if this temperature is substantial but it felt substantial to my hands!

I have installed CPU MONITOR app from playstore, so I could see while installing all the playstore apps (moving from old device to Poco) the CPU temp was running between 45-50c. Now while no installations happening CPU shows 35-40c and unit feels pretty cold, not warm as before, so its good. I guess intense of apps installations indeed can cause a heat, oneplus 5t also had certain heat but i think it was less heat than poco during such case of intense playstore apps installations. But, perhaps could be SD845 gets more warm then SD835 in such cases.
Another thing which isnt clear, when you plug the charger it doesnt say if its quick charge mode or regular charge, I really expect Poco devs to get this one fixed, should be an easy fix.
Hi there, what are the normal high temperatures for the CPU under load? Mine is adleing around 40c but on the 15 min Antutu stress-test it was peaking above 90 and it was really hot around the back camera. It is with the latest 9.6.18. Is it normal or I got an defect unit. Thanks.

Try some heavy games which uses Wi-Fi like PUBG Mobile or any alike. If you are getting temps above 45 (given that you have ambient temp 25-35), then you should be worried
My phone is also running hot, even at rest the temperature is high, liquid is just a marketing tactic i guess as it's doing nothing. Oneplus at the same ambient temperature is running a lot cooler. Problem is now i can't return it.

Camera fire
the phone gets quite hot during the use of the camera. 10 minutes of using the camera for a photo with the AI ​​turned off causes it to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius. It also consumes a lot of battery power. For the first time I see that the use of the camera was on a load comparable to the game in Pubg

Really hot? 90oC will burn out your phone.
don't care about stress tests but in day to day usage with long pubg sessions never felt hot anywhere in device.
heating issue with some people may be due to their excessive excitement as the tend to install lot of rubbish apps to test their device.

For the current update as of writing this, the phone gets quite hot when playing pubg this resulting to thermal throttling which causes a few issues when playing heavy games such as pubg. Hope they fix this soon

You're really gonna want to check that out. Even laptop's processors are considered hot when it hits 80. It's definitely you don't want to keep around since it will damage other components like the battery.
With intensive gaming for 2hour or so mine only gets as high as 42c
it heats up to concern levels even on various custom roms , speciall when screen brightness is to max
Hi All, I got the POCO F1 today. CPUZ shows core temps beyond 53 degrees Centigrade. Quite warm! Battery temp 43 deg C. I am on Android 10 stock.
Can you please post screen shots of Core and Battery temperatures?

You just need to use a semiconductor refrigeration handle for mobile phone as i did the temperature stay below 40 while playing in extreme settings
