    PCSPECIALIST CPU Power Limit Throttling Despite No Hardware/Software Changes

    The package peaks at around 75TDP before throttling down to the 60s. Not sure if it's worth mentioning, but I bumped up the Turbo Boost from 65W to 75W and had no throttling after the 5 minute stress test. I'd rather not resort to increasing the power consumption for an issue that never used to...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Power Limit Throttling Despite No Hardware/Software Changes

    I just went to the Clevo website now and found the latest chipset drivers for my specific chassiz/CPU. Unfortunately the problem occurred again where after 50ish seconds of stress testing, my CPU began to power limit throttle. The stress test in XTU prior to this issue would always last the full...

    PCSPECIALIST Weird artifacting/bugs when using some specific apps.

    Do those artefacts appear when playing games as well as viewing applications? Also, open the NVIDIA control panel and try using those applications with the NVIDIA GPU rather than the onboard graphics to isolate whether it's an issue with one of the 2 graphics.

    PCSPECIALIST What happened to sociable gaming?

    I have a lot of fun memories of having friends come over after school to play video games like the old WWF/WWE wrestling games, where we'd set up some of the most horrific yet hilarious looking slams possible in the games. From what I've observed, I think the decline of social gaming is largely...

    PCSPECIALIST Recoil V 17" Chassiz?

    Hey everyone! My brother is interested in buying a high-end PCSpecialist laptop since my experience with the Octane series has been great since purchasing it back in 2019. He immediately set his sights on the Recoil V due to the non-Max Q GPU's, G-Sync, , high refresh rates, thicker chassiz...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU/GPU High temps with new Defiance series gaming laptop

    The occasional 90 degree spike isn't too much of a problem for a CPU, especially with newer games becoming more demanding nowadays. An occasional spike usually just means your CPU is boosting its clock to the highest frequency during gameplay to ensure better/consistent performance when things...

    PCSPECIALIST Major Performance loss

    Have you updated the drivers recently? Also, it's best to be sure that your games are actually using your dedicated GPU. If your laptop has both intel and Nvidia graphics, it might be worth looking into the Nvidia Control Panel and checking that games are using the RTX 2070 GPU. It's also worth...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU/GPU High temps with new Defiance series gaming laptop

    The trickiest problem for any laptop is always going to be the cooling due to the limited space + cooling solutions relying on heatsinks and fans.

    PCSPECIALIST 17" Defiance - Some issues

    I've had this popping issue before and it was the Realtek Drivers causing problems. Every time sound would begin playing, it would make a pop noise regardless of whether they earphones were plugged/unplugged. I'd personally suggest either: Enter the Realtek Audio Console > Power Management >...

    PCSPECIALIST New Defiance inbuilt speakers automatically attenuate music volume when it's loud

    I saw that the Defiance laptops come with "Sound Blaster Atlas" as part of the purchase. If that's installed, it might be a setting known as "Smart Volume", which tends to dynamically adjust the sound levels. As far as I'm aware, Sound Blaster's audio panel tends to take priority over your...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop configuration

    Just out of curiousity, how active are your fans when playing Overwatch? I usually have my fans on full when gaming to keep temps as low as possible, and my Overwatch performance (i7-8700K, RTX 2080, 32GB RAM) is around 60-70C (maximum) on the CPU and 55-60C (maximum) GPU when playing on...

    PCSPECIALIST CPU Screw Heatsink Issue!

    No problem! I saw another person on Google mention the same issue with the exact same Chassiz as my own (Clevo P775TM1-G), so it's sadly an issue that does seem a little too common for my liking. Anyway, here are the links (the text itself will take you to the Amazon links) for the products I...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop keeps turning off whilst gaming (COD Warzone)

    I imagine that if the battery becomes unplugged, it should cap your FPS between 30 and 60 FPS to conserve the battery. You can check to see if you have this enabled in GeForce Experience
