Yeah I did pay to get the better thermal paste. I had to go away to work so couldn't do a long test. Seems to me that it's very much tied to fan settings. It runs hot. If the setting is on performance then the cpu is always running at ~3999mHz and demanding 100% fan. Every game I've played...

Nope. I dont know how to get the option to enable/disable on a laptop. Nvidia control panel has limited options.

Ah thanks for pointing that out, I have not yet explored all of these options yet. I will change the settings to keep it quieter and cooler unless I am gaming.

Hello all, I recieved my Vortex last week and after playing around have run some benchmarking for anyone who is interested to see. Additionally if anyone has any suggestions or improvements they can see then let me know! Intel Extreme Tuning Utility Stress test. I used this program to...

Yes it arrived on Wednesday 28th. Been out of the country so havent been able to thoroughly use it yet. I will get benchmarks soon. What benchmarks do you run? I will try get a direct comparison. *edit* As ive said ive not had time to run full tests yet but I tested Assassins Creed Odyssey on...

Hello all, My clevo p650re recently died, it was one of the old "defiance" laptops from pcs. I was very happy with it and probably would have used it for another year, but sadly it wasn't to be. So I've been looking for a new laptop and was about to pull the trigger on the 16.1" defiance VI...

Yeah tried that - no response. I put a multimeter on the battery and it's reading 14v so I think the battery is OK.

Hello all, Ive had my p650re for about 3.5 years now and still happy with it. However the other night it randomly crashed when I was gaming. I assumed it had overheated as it felt hot, so I let it cool then turned it back on again. This time I ran hwmonitor and was checking temps frequently...
