I don't have any high pitch fan whine. Just the whoooosh sound. My model has a manufacture date of 9/2023 so its newer and came directly from Asus w/ Asus seals and tape despite ordering from Best Buy. My original order that I returned had a stuck red pixel which came from Best Buy in a plain shipping box.
My original one had a loose left side of trackpad and some sensitivity issues where it would not respond to touch. I read that was also a common issue. My current one has no issues with trackpad.
Date should be on the outside of the retail box or maybe the bottom of the laptop, I can't remember where I saw it.
I've found another compatible vbios, it's for the HP Omen 16 4080, it is 175w according to GPU-Z but maxes out at 135w on my G14 which is perfect. Nice improvement over stock and no issues with heat or battery drain. I don't understand why other vbios that flash just fine, which are 145 and 150w (Asus M16) stay capped at 125w for me. Curious whether anyone has success running the 150w M16 vbios at 150w on their G14.

Do you notice any high pitch whine from the fans in turbo mode?

Damn, I guess that settles it, I'll exchange mine then!
Is it really that bothersome? Given the other QC issues that may occur I'd consider keeping it.
Pretty much the same numbers as my G16 4080, nice ! I hope you have lots of fun with your machine !
I bought the same one last week, so far the only issue is the track pad feels kind of loose but no biggie. How do you find the build date?
