I know this has been a while since I brought my overheating to your attention, but I believe I have the workings of a solution.
The CPU used to reach 100 degrees C. Now it only reaches about 80 degrees C due largely to the fact I'm in a room that's naturally warmer than most, so obviously if...
Thanks Spyder, it was and is now fully working, hopefully for the better as the previous version was a bit temperamental at connecting and letting me access the controls.
So I have no idea what I'm doing with Prime95, however, I ran it well over time and it didn't get above 87 degrees as seen here with the run and the graph separately that was using the auto feature on the water cooler. The laptop was turned off for quite a while before I did the increased fan...
I'm not too sure what links you are referring to maybe these:

So I did the 3DMark test first without the water cooler and 2nd with as shown.
As for Prime95, I'm no expert but whatever I set I too it wasn't happy about it and after about 6 minutes my laptop totally locked up and pressed and held the power button to get out of it, not even the task manager...
Nothing has changed and the control center is installed correctly and it is working, whether correctly I couldn't tell you. I've noticed in the SPC setting I could limit the CPU temperature if I was to set it up, but I'm worried about the other settings involved and whether this would be...
Serves me right for not double-checking, thank you for that.
The photo is here now.
Today I managed to do things differently, to ensure I use the water cooler whilst on battery power because I want to increase the longevity of the laptop's battery life. I pulled the mains plug out the laptop...
Well as for the laptop manual, all I got was a generic welcome pack manual which is a few years old, it does feature things like repairing the laptop and installing Windows 10 etc but definitely nothing about water cooling.
I agree if you are buying a gaming laptop then the water cooler should...
Yes, I originally wrote XMG in reference to what the manual was asking me to look for, but afterwards edited it out when I finally found the control centre was already on my laptop.
You would think that's where the manual should have been found, I checked again where I can download all my...
When you get your water cooler you will probably find it has no instructions with it. I just received mine, it's the later magnetic connector style not the earlier clip-on version. There are instructions but I had to phone up to get them sent to my email address to resolve some issues. (the...
Yes very much so.
As for now until can afford the water cooler, I've decided to try it at lower settings, after all, I have laid through it all once just trying it t different levels and want to get more gold badges so now at 1960 * 1600 and Medium settings. just to be on the safer side oh and...
