Please ask TongFang for the BIOS/EC that they developed for the USA distributor. That combo seems to have great performance and adds a number of improvements to the current options.

Hi Chris, Any progress on the validation? Do you know if the new EC will offer different PL settings for the Game and Boost modes or just fix the battery issue (which I also have). An American competitor have managed to get the manufacturer to produce quite a tuned BIOS with lots of options so...

17”. It is really superb.

Interesting to note that the 2070 Super on the Vyper will run at up to 150w, over the 115w stock configuration, on "Game" or "Turbo" mode. Bob of All Trades confirmed this for the Eluktronics version of this laptop and they brand this ability as Eluktroboost. Another competitor confirmed that...

Really good mini-article! These are enthusiast laptops and the user is rewarded for research on this and the forums of the other resellers of this chassis for hints and tips. Cheers

Great info. I got mine about a week ago. Have you experimented with different BIOS/EC and control center versions?

I ordered the Vyper 17 with 2070 Super on 5 June and it was showing that GPU as out of stock until 10 July when I ordered. I really want that spec so I ordered anyway and I am pretty relaxed about when it turns up. However I am also obsessively checking the stock levels on the order page by...

Thought I would add a little colour to the supply side and demand side discussion. I am surprised that PCS are getting any stock in at all to be honest! Global supply chains have been massively disrupted whilst demand has gone through the roof. With so many people working from home, people's...

Can't wait to hear how you get on!

I think the motherboard on the new Vyper 17.3"supports up to 3200mhz: Interestingly the manual for this Tongfang chassis is here: https://fccid.io/2AKHFAX201NG/Users-Manual/AX201NGW-UserMan-4694720 and on pg 13 it states that the motherboard does support up to 3200Mhz for i7/i9 models but...

I think I will do similar. Why the 3200mhz vs 2933mhz btw? Genuine question as I didn't realise you could use 3200.

Still waiting...

I asked: "Hi there, does the motherboard on the 17" VYPER with the i7-10875 chip have the ability to run 2933Mhz ram as supported by the chipset? Only 2666mhz is available for sale." From PCS: "I have a definitive answer for you: yes, the motherboard does indeed support this RAM. Presumably in...

And these ones: ** Videos removed as for competitor site ** Note that all the reviews I can find are based on the pre-refresh spec of RTX 2070 and i7-9750H. I am equally very close to pulling the trigger on this as I think it could be a while until the 4900HS appears in a cracking 17" form...

What did you go for in the end?
