Apology accepted, you can see where my issue lies now right? Heh Hopefully this bios that's been spoken about is the the resolve I'm after.

The 3900 is also 65w ... It's boost is much lower than the other models in order to fit in that power envelope.

The laptop should still be able to run the CPU and GPU simultaneously regardless otherwise it's not fit for purpose. No one buys a laptop like this to only run one type of system load at a time. It's a expensive piece of kit and should be able to run the selected CPU and GPU otherwise they...

I'll give it a go as aside from the above I do like the system. Just good to have so much power in a small form factor it's just this far I've not been able to harness it fully.

Hello all. I'm finding my laptop constantly hard crashes when playing demanding games. It seems the cooling solution is not equipped to deal with both the GPU and CPU running demanding games. So running running a CPU only load such as cinebench parts of the CPU ( according to 3rd party...

If you have control centre installed uninstall it. Boost behaviour will then function as expected. Although then you have to buy 3rd party fan control software... Because the fans don't go to kick in hard enough to stop thermal cut out.

Had mine for a month have the following observations. Mounting pressure seems low, and temperatures improve during benchmarks when pressing down on the CPU heatsink so this may need to be addressed by Clevo and pc specialist. Reduces idle temperatures to 45c and load temperatures to 75 ISH in...

Yup just going shopping and can do that later.

Already have done, that's how I found out officially that it has been locked down. My reply to them has been to explain why I am unhappy and that such restrictions have to be clearly disclosed. Also requested the non locked down bios which I know exists :) The rationale was that the laptops...

It's not acceptable from a trading standards point of view though. Such limitations should be clearly advertised during the sale of a product as it is a feature of the AMD processor in question.

Yes using a cheap 120mm fan cooling pad. Considering a return though as PBO doesn't function due to software locking in the firmware. Didn't spend 2k on a laptop to have hardware features locked away.

I don't need this features. If I need low power mode for what ever reason I'll make a profile in it for ryzen master but for now I run full power at all times.

I ended up uninstalling control centre. It doesn't really offer much aside from fan control.

There's nothing really to look out for. gpu and cpu both have 3 screws each then there's an additional 2 screws holding down the copper coated fan housing for the gpu. Just remember to disconect from mains power and remove battery. Had a quick play with manual settings, if PBO was working...

Done research and apparently it's because they never bothered to optimise that test for AMD. The rationale being " it's a realistic representation of the architecture differences" Which I kinda get, some software you use might be old and unoptimised fair enough. But bench marks are to compare...

I'm pretty happy, and I would reccomend it. I'd advise a re-paste upon receipt. (If you're competent) I think the stress testing process they utilise cures and drys out the thermal paste as the consistency was like when you take apart someone's old dell pc and the paste has gone all crumbly...

Unfortunately they didn't stipulate what the paste is. Waiting on a laptop cooling pad which I'm hoping reduces things by 5c or so to stop it attempting to take off.

Bump Anyone else with this config able to share temperature ranges of CPU? Quite toasty. just sitting in windows is 60c or so

My laptop results https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/47554092? lower than I anticipated. Ran a second one with pbo on and fans on maximum https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/47554964?

Right so lighting wise the software you can download from pc specialist allows for basic colour control. I.e set it and forget it has about 20 colours to choose from and 4 lighting levels. Battery wise I'll have a look when home but I'm fairly sure it's a module so easy replacement. Regarding...
