    PCSPECIALIST Brand New Recoil IV 15.6" Overheating Immediately

    For intel I would use Intel XTU. Set the core voltage offset to -0.100mv and see how that is. Run some benchmarking tests to check temps and stability. If they are ok then a decent length gaming session is another good way to test stability. Might be able to go a bit lower with the offset as...

    PCSPECIALIST Vyper 17 vs Optimus PRO XI

    Pretty crazy that a mobile based Intel processor uses the same PSU wattage as the desktop based Ryzen processors in the Nova :eek:

    PCSPECIALIST Control centre Backlit keyboard, Flexikey and Fan speed control not working

    What version of CCC are you using? Is the clevo service running if you check on process in task manager? Off the top of my head I think it’s called ClevoService.exe

    PCSPECIALIST Is the Nova 15.6" compatible with 3200 MHz memory?

    Yeah I would just run with 2666MHZ. That’s whY I have paired with the Ryzen 3700X and no complaints here, only praise :) :cool: :)

    PCSPECIALIST Is the Nova 15.6" compatible with 3200 MHz memory?

    The BIOS options are very limited. There’s no option to set RAM speeds or timings. There is a boot manager as usual so you can configure boot priorities easily. I believe you would need a 3rd party unlocked BIOS to allow XMP profiles to be changed.And if you flashed this type of BIOS it would...

    PCSPECIALIST the fan of my 180W AC adaptor (optimus XI) doesnt do a normal sound.. need to change?

    Definitely isn’t a fan in any laptop power brick, they’re not like PSU’s in desktops. It’s probably a bit of coil whine as Spyder said, probably perfectly normal assuming it’s only a very low level noise you can hear when the room is silent

    PCSPECIALIST How do I apply for finance

    You should really post the spec here that you are looking to order, cannot stress this enough as it sounds like not only are you entering into a finance agreement you don’t fully understand, you could be entering into a finance agreement you don’t fully understand on a system that’s awful and...

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Laptop for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    As above, the 3700X and the 2070 is a great combination. I would also add more storage, just 1 512GB drive might not cut it after a while. Not sure on MSFS but may P3D installation is approx 200GB

    PCSPECIALIST Wrong GPU running laptop, and nvidia control panel not working

    What GPUs are they Spyder? Could be a DX11 vs DX12 thing? It is odd it’s different out of interest, like you say could be CPU or maybe the motherboard.

    PCSPECIALIST Blank Blue Screen on new SSD

    Sure is but the OP has tried that and is having issues. Would be interesting to see if the problem is still there if cloning the drive to the Adata I don’t know much about Adata drives, do they use their own nvme driver like Samsung? Or just the MS one?

    PCSPECIALIST Blank Blue Screen on new SSD

    I’ve cloned several drives and never had an issue. If it’s NVMe to NVMe there shouldn’t be a problem. If it was sata to NVMe, that can be tricker as specific drivers will be baked in and the bootmgr would need redoing to expect nvme not sata. Question for the OP - when installing windows on...

    PCSPECIALIST Blank Blue Screen on new SSD

    Is there a reason you did a fresh install of Windows? If your Windows was in an ok state on the old drive, try cloning the old drive to the new drive and resize the partition and see if the issue is still there?

    PCSPECIALIST Vyper 17 inch terrible performance when running on battery

    If it runs at 120W TDP when plugged in then it will be fine to run at 120W TDP on battery. Granted the battery might not last long:LOL: But these are only maximum values, not constant so it will draw less power when needed

    PCSPECIALIST 24 hours old NOVA laptop: 2nd M.2 Drive is not showing/working anymore.

    Swapping the drives around made no difference when I had the issue. I think it’s a PCI/e lane limitation on the board

    PCSPECIALIST 24 hours old NOVA laptop: 2nd M.2 Drive is not showing/working anymore.

    Nothing will have changed Ubusya. It does show ok for periods of time but as soon as you try write any decent amount of data too it, it will fall apart and disappear. Usually won’t appear again until you unseat and reseat it. Then rinse and repeat.:)
