So quick update, Repasting is complete - Ran Prime95 and Furmark stress tests for half hr and temperatures averaged out much better around the mid 70s on CPU and just shy of 80 on the GPU. Once I have decided on a brand of thermal pad I will order some up and change these as well, once these...

So iv disassembled the laptop properly now about to redo the thermal compound, sadly its using thermal pads on all the little chips. I will measure these up now for sizes but can anyone reccomend a good brand to replace them with? Also on the fan topic I'm am going to attempt to model up the...

So I haven't got around to reapplying thermal paste yet but iv cleaned out all dudt. After this I managed to get a 6hour session in but when I checked hwinfo afterwards my cpu temps maxed out at 101 on 3 cores and atleast 99 on every other core. The gpu only hit 80 tho so that's good news I...

How would I know for sure if the VRMs are getting cooled properly? Very close to taking a hot knife to the chassis and putting a noctua fan in 😂

Okay thankyou, if the issue persists then I will have to try this. I have a backup server running so files are not an issue. Should I also wipe every non Windows drive while doing this? Redownloading 1.5tb of games would be rather painful but if reccomended I will have to.

I know you said you had to restore your laptop to fix the issue, did this actually solve the problem when you done it? Will have to consider it as a last resort is repasting does not work

Hi, No this issue is present in every game including the last release of cod, rimworld, ark and a handful of other titles but it is most common on ark I don't know why. Sadly didn't have time to repaste on the weekend so hoping to find a bit of downtime in work tomorrow to do it 🤞. Do you know...

Not sure if this will help uncover the issue but when turning the graphics settings down from 4k max to 720p low the issue stopped. So guessing this is a graphics issue have updated drivers which did not solve, will try repasting and see what difference that makes.

Thanks for the advice, I will work my way through them testing as I go along, the difficult part is sometimes I can go hours before this happens other times its literally minutes, I have already ordered some thermal compound for a repaste so will get that done this weekend.

So I have had my octane series laptop from PCS since Feb 2019 now and for a little while I have been experiencing a annoying issue but tonight it has become unusable. When I am playing a game the laptop will just freeze, no warning no errors it'll just lockup and not let me do anything only way...

I have a Octane Series: 17.3" rocking a i9 and rtx 2080 but I am fiddling around with setting up a hackintosh because why not. The issue I'm currently having is a crash on boot with what should be a stable setup minus the rtx card. Anyone know if theres a way to disable the GPU and switching to...

“Thank you for the message. The first channel of RAM is located below the keyboard, and the second channel of RAM is located below the laptop itself. So your system has been running in single channel RAM configurations. There is a very minor performance difference compared to running in dual...

That is strange as mine was only missing a select few drivers not all of them, any system critical drivers had been installed, I would like to remind you if we ignore the weekend then I had the laptop in my hands less than 48hours after ordering so this limited time could of been what left...

You are correct in assuming that I had to dismantle the laptop but this was not difficult the issue was raised by PCS themselves when I enquired as to what slots the ram was in before receiving the laptop asking that they be placed in the harder to reach slots, they replied saying that they had...

I will get in contact with PCS about the battery and check but I was putting it down to the spec, I will run a idle battery test when I get some time and get a proper number for them, it seems like on this model missing drivers is common I was not missing anything major like gpu drivers it was...

So I ordered my laptop from PCS around 3 months ago, I ordered with next day build and expedited shipping and it took 4 days to arrive (ordered the Friday morning arrived Monday afternoon) which I was extreamly happy with. The packaging which the laptop came in was what I would call overkill...

Ordered a max spec 17.3" OCTANE VI now looking for a bag to keep it safe during transport. Can anyone make some suggestions I previously had a asus g750 and never managed to get a good bag for it as they were stupidly expensive at the time, I work night shifts so needs to be able to fit the...
