Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
- Model Name:ROG Phone 3 16/512
- Firmware Version: .78
- Rooted or not:Not
- Frequency of Occurrence:Optional by me
- APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
I did not take a screenshot but yesterday I reached 50 Celsius for 10 minutes and then I turned the phone off out of fear.In about 5 minutes it returned to 36 Celsius with charging according to my estimations so it was fine.
The reason i reached so high was because I maxed out Genshin impact for stable 60fps with EVERYTHING both on game graphics and X modes hardcore tuning with EVERYTHING on red.After a short while,when entering a boss battle with lots of action,the phone reached 50 Celsius and stayed like that until the end of the battle.I saw some frame drops to 55 or 57 but only for like 4 or 6 times.
And my question is,since I'm maxing out the chip with the hardcore tuning option quite often,will that Damage any internals for each time I do it?
Yes,all options are on red,not just these ones.

No worries. 50c isnt even remotely any issue. Youd have to start be concerned once u hit around 80
I cant go over 40° but i may vary upon different places with different temperatures
You have 1 year warranty. Make full use of it.
but if you are the one who damage your phone isn't it voids the warranty?
I think 50c still Kind a low, But since the CPU and GPU close to the metal where it dissipate the heat it makes it hot to touch.
So you are saying the insides won't get damaged because the heat stays outside?
So I can enable X mode but maxed out as many times as I want without getting worried about the battery or the chip itself?
I am getting 27 Celsius by doing anything else than gaming,so my room temperature isn't affecting it,then even on X mode it depends on the game
The most demanding game is Genshin impact and only then will I get more than 42 celsius
Pretty much, you really don't need to worry about temps on the rog3, the cooling is nuts. Due to the very efficient and well designed nature of the passive cooling a lot of people have the idea that the phone overheats because it's hot to the touch, while in reality it's hot to the touch because the cooling actually works really well since it dissapates heat on the front panel and back panel of the phone with a heatsink and a massive vapor chamber.
Samsung phones reach well over 80c and start thermal throttling to prevent them from dying to give you an idea about thermal limits or concerns.
As @nightmaster552 is saying, 50°C will not fry your components, so don't worry about it.
Alrighty then,thank you all for your help!Now I can enjoy the unprecedented performance of the phone without fear!
