========================================
Hello everyone.
Do you know if (and when) Asus will unlock the ability to run level 3 in X Mode, without a cooling fan. Because it's a strange thing that the Rog Phone 2 works at 100% power (no fan) and works better in an emulator (e.g. Dolphin).
Rog 2 has a processor frequency of 2.96 GHz while rog phone 5 is max 1.56 GHz. max. It is also strange that other smartphones (not gaming) with the 888 snapdragon work in the machine at full power, without additional accessories.
Rog Phone 3 also has level 3 locked in X Mode, but there, although you can manually set it to run at 3.09Ghz.
Can someone also explain to me the differences in processor timing, for ROG 2/3/5, in the same Level 2 mode in X Mode
Rog 2 (Snapdragon 855+) - 2.39GHz
Rog 3 (Snapdragon 865+) - 2.09GHz
Rog 3 (Snapdragon 888) - 1.56GHz
The more powerful the processor, the lower the clock frequency at Level 2

Do absolutely under no circumstance even think about running the Rog5 without fan on xmode 3.

@Danishblunt I know throttling and higher smartphone temperatures. But why is it not me who can decide if I am willing to take the risk?
Xiaomi Mi 11 with 888 snapdragon, copes better with processor management, which translates into better results, in Wii games on a dolphin emulator (and not a smartphone for players)
Rog 2 supports level 3 without a cooling fan, Rog 3 also (when manually set) and smartphones do not overheat

because youre going to kill the phone and demand warranty repair, thats why. From ASUS's perspective the only reaosnable way of letting you use xmode without cooler is you agreeing to forfeit warranty.
Xioami Mi 11 copes better with the SD 888 chipset???? really now? You mean the "your device is overheating" message that shuts the phone down?
Because both the rog2 and 3 have more efficient chips onside their phone. The SD 888 has a higher powerdraw causing significantly more heat. Letting the SD 888 run at xmode 3 is way more dangerous than the previous models.

Thank you for your response.
I have three Rog models, so I have some comparison. I do not actually have Mi 11 and here I was based on comparisons with YouTube. I'm not angry with Asus, I just wanted to clear up some doubts.b your answer helped me a lot
