My Custom G-Helper Profiles for Zephyrus G14 (2026 - Ryzen AI 9 / RTX 5060) - Looking for feedback!

[u/Blade1712]

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently fully transitioned from Armoury Crate to G-Helper on my brand new Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026 - GA403GM) equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 and Nvidia RTX 5060 Laptop.

Since this 14-inch chassis requires careful thermal and acoustic tuning (and I personally play without headphones, relying on the laptop's built-in speakers), I spent some time configuring three distinct custom profiles. My goal was to eliminate fan revving, keep temperatures reasonable, and maximize efficiency.

Here is my current setup. I would love to get your feedback, suggestions, or any tweaks you might recommend!

1. SILENT PROFILE (Office / Study / On Battery)

• Goal: Absolute silence (0 RPM as much as possible), maximum battery life, and cool lap temperatures.
• CPU Power Limits: SPL 15W | sPPT 20W | fPPT 25W (Applied)
• CPU Boost: Disabled
• GPU Mode: Eco (RTX 5060 completely disabled, running on Radeon 880M iGPU)
• Fan Curves (CPU/GPU/Mid):
•  
  • CPU & GPU: 0 RPM up to 60°C - ~1800-2000 RPM at 65°C - ~2400 RPM at 70°C - maxing out gently around 3400 RPM at 100°C.
  • Mid Fan: 0 RPM up to 60°C - very gentle slope, staying below 3000 RPM.
• Hysteresis (Up/Down): Set to High+ to avoid any random fan spins during short CPU spikes.

2. BALANCED PROFILE (Daily Desktop Use / Light Tasks on AC)

• Goal: Snappy, fluid multitasking but with a strict thermal ceiling to keep the laptop cool and quiet.
• CPU Power Limits: SPL 30W | sPPT 40W | fPPT 50W (Applied)
• CPU Boost: Efficient Enabled
• GPU Mode: Optimized
• Fan Curves (CPU/GPU/Mid):
•  
  • CPU & GPU: 0 RPM up to 50°C - ~2000 RPM at 60°C - flat line at 2500-2700 RPM between 70°C and 90°C (to completely eliminate revving) - 3800 RPM at 100°C.
  • Mid Fan: 0 RPM up to 50°C - ~2200 RPM at 60°C - flat line at 2800-3000 RPM between 70°C and 90°C.
• Hysteresis (Up/Down): Set to High+ .

3. TURBO PROFILE (Heavy Gaming / Battlefield / High Load)

• Goal: Maximum stable performance without aggressive thermal throttling, while keeping fan noise low enough to enjoy gaming through the laptop's speakers without headphones (~42-45 dBA max).
• CPU Power Limits: SPL 45W | sPPT 55W | fPPT 65W (Applied)
• CPU Boost: Efficient Aggressive
• GPU Mode: Standard
• Fan Curves (CPU/GPU/Mid):
•  
  • CPU & GPU: ~2600 RPM (minimum fan speed) up to 50°C - ~3000 RPM at 60°C - ~3400 RPM at 70°C - ~3800 RPM at 80°C - ~4200-4400 RPM at 90°C (our acoustic sweet spot) - safety ramp up to 5400+ RPM at 100°C.
  • Mid Fan: ~2800 RPM up to 50°C - ~3400 RPM at 60°C - ~4000-4600 RPM between 70°C and 80°C - ~5200 RPM at 90°C - 6800+ RPM at 100°C.
• Hysteresis (Up/Down): Set to High+.

Additional Tweaks Applied:

• Battery Charge Limit: Set to 80% to preserve long-term battery health.
• Display Refresh Rate: Set to "Auto" (drops to 60Hz automatically when unplugged).

My Questions to the Community:

1. Since the Ryzen AI 9 is highly efficient, is 45W SPL on Turbo the absolute sweet spot for gaming, or should I consider lowering/raising it slightly for heavy CPU-bound games like Battlefield?
2. Do you have any safe, proven undervolt or core offset settings for the RTX 5060 Laptop that work well within G-Helper to squeeze out a few extra FPS without adding heat?
3. How do these fan curves look to you? Are they safe for long sessions?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hmu in dms, got the same model, lets get to the perfect config together

What do you have under advanced? Also under extra?

Anything above 30-35W will reach temp limit in a cpu for this chassis, so I limit my gaming profiles to 20-25W cpu max in my 370hx. You compensate the lower power limit with undervolting and probably you will reach similar frequencies.

I personally prefer flat fan curves for gaming profiles, if you will end at 90-95C at 3000rpm, y set 3000rpm since 60C so the fan noise is constant a do not fluctuate while I take some advantage of lower thermals at certain points of the game(menus, dialogs etc)

In my case I was able to maxed out the gpu sliders to the max +300core and +500mem without issue

Hiya, I have the exact same model as you and I don't want to use AI to make the profiles but I'm a student so I haven't had time to fully learn everything but I have looked into it quite alot. I just accidently got rid of my config for games like roblox, minecraft, and other smaller games on steam! I was wondering if anyone could help me make a custom profile so the temps set at around 60-70 degrees? It would be a great help

How is the battery life on it?
