    PCSPECIALIST Valeon RTX 3080, Ryzen R9 5900HX. Its a bit of a monster really.

    Yeah this is my first laptop mate so it's likely just me thinking that something ain't right when in fact everything is just peachy 🤣 I have dynamic boost set as advised etc... Everything is working as I hoped and the gaming experience has been fantastic so far, I'm actually sat here now with...

    Yeah using the same limits as yourself, temps when gaming are anywhere between 70-85°C and I'm also using a laptop cooling stand, just get the fans going crazy lol I wasn't sure if having it set to dGPU would be better as the processor isn't working as hard? I'll switch back to MSHybrid and...

    Laptop has arrived and so far I'm impressed! Question though, do you leave it on MSHybrid or have it set to dGPU when gaming? It comes under the "Quick Switch" setting then "Display mode"? No matter what I have selected the fans seem to go crazy??

    Aaaah thank god for that! Makes life so much easier, all I need to buy now is a new HDMI cable 👌🏻 I've had my email to say it's been despatched so I can't wait to get my hands on it. Any advice on what I need to do when I first power it up? Apart from the usual updates?

    @barlew I have a question, total noob here as mentioned before lol So my laptop is supposed to be arriving tomorrow (not holding much hope). So if I wanted to connect it to my 55" LG C1 tele which supports 4k gaming at 120hz is it possible with this laptop? Do you know if the HDMI port on the...

    I am a complete tech Noob so are you guys able to post screen shots of the profiles you have setup in the control centre? I know every laptop is technically different but it would really help me if I have something to look at to guide me for when my Valeon arrives. My intent is to lower the...

    So it is an IPS panel? I only ask as the guy I spoke to from PCS told me it was a TN panel?

    As you have the Valeon yourself what's your honest thoughts on the screen technology? Is it a good 165hz panel? Any screen tearing issues etc....

    Mainly gaming and just general Internet stuff, was ordered yesterday but I suppose with the Christmas break coming up I'll have to wait a bit longer to receive it, the option for fast track build wasn't available unfortunately

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon 17. Rtx 3080 max-p?

    Gleaming mate! This has made my day to be honest as I felt a little disappointed when they told me the 3080 was only 115w, but this has given me that warm fuzzy feeling 🤣

    Is that screenshot of the SPC settings what you use all the time? I ordered my Valeon yesterday with the same sort of specs as you and I intend to primarily use it for gaming, so would you say those settings are the sweet spot?
