It seems to cause more problems than it solves (one of those things that tries to fix something that isn't broken). If it works for you, then great; use it. Otherwise it's usually better to not install it and tweak in-game settings manually.

Anyone had any issues installing an OS or booting off a USB thumbdrive after the new BIOS update? i ended up having to use a disk copy of windows to get it installed and this is the only thing i can think of i changed prior to the reinstall.

Did anyone update SmartManager to 5.1.1 and try to turn the fan speed on Max? I had to revert to a previous edition ebcause it wont manually set the speed of the fans. Hopefully they udpated it again soon even though the older version is still preferable to me.
Also, just a FYI on some things I have experienced with this laptop so far:
It came with windows 8, i re-installed a retail copy of windows 7 ultimate and did an upgrade to windows 10 pro. tried to do a fresh install from there but ran into a bsod and a never ending reboot so I (luckily) was able to create an ISO from my android phone and re-installed a fresh version of windows 10 pro and the key was recognized with no issues. Everything has run fine so far. I had to bring out the OEM disc to manually install Smart Manager (only for the FN key Bluetooth capability, everything else, Audio, Brightness, worked without it) and Smart update. Out of the box I had to install some intel drivers (rst, management engine, graphics) but everything has run smoothly.
I tried buying two m550 crucial ssd's to run in raid and ran into an issue with one of the drives failing to boot everyonce in a great while (it was orignally ran as a raid 0 then subsequently divded back into their respective drives for troubleshooting purposes) before I just recently installed a m500 and an m550 to see if maybe just having the same drive or the one drive was causing the issue and have not ran into any issues since. I also upgraded the internal mechanical hard drive to a crucial m500 960gb 2.5 and use the mechanical in the hotswap bay.
The hotswap bay runs at sata2 speeds if you use it in the hardrive hotswap function, but keeping it in the cd rom drive hot swap function allows it to be used at sata3 for whatever reason.
The internal temps are atrocious when the laptop is sitting on my desk but the laptop cooling pad i bought makes a huge difference. I have not decided whether I want to re-paste it yet, maybe later in its life.
Wit winndows 8 i would get a bsod everyonce in awhile. Windows 7 was less and windows 10 is even less, surprisingly. If anyone has any questions I will try and check everyonce in awhile and answer them. -
My max fan setting won't work either. They removed it I guess. I kind of found it pointless since it didn't make things much cooler for me anyways.

Interesting, i'm not seeing the SmartManager update in SmartUpdate. Did you guys get the update via the gigabyte website? or is this a V4 and not a V3 thing?

Hi i just lost the power cube. Can anyone recommend a physical store selling a p35x near San Fran?
Or a store that would ship it around California?
Thanks!

Has anyone else upgraded their P35X to Win10, I've done so and generally been happy, but the major problem I am experiencing is with the HDMI out - not working properly, even with the latest intel drivers. The 2nd display struggles to lock on to the signal (1080p, 60hz) and is visibly noisy and unusable. Didn't have this problem with the same laptop, lead and plasma screen prior to the upgrade (nothing changed in that regard)... struggling for ways to solve it... any suggestions appreciated

I want to start a friendly debate.
but it occurred to me that
http://www.xoticpc.com/gigabyte-p35xv4bw3k2-eta-08142015-p-8259.html?wconfigure=yes
with a 3k screen and 2 256 gb hds this machine costs the same msrp as an aorus x5
it is essentially almost the same thing. it definitely has a few things different. It has a odd, or it has a 2nd hdd which is really good.
it has the same awesome screen. I believe it has one fewer m2 ssd slot.
What are the plusses and minuses? -
-980M > 965M SLI - I know on paper 965M SLI is supposed to be better but I don't believe it until someone gives me some benchmarks. SLI historically has been either buggy or unsupported by some games.
-P35X is thinner and lighter
-Aorus X5 has more memory slots if you care to have more than 16GB
-P35x has the swappable bay which can be a 4th storage option.
-P35X uses mSata - older standard, yes, but supports 1TB drives. M.2 max is still 512GB
-P35X looks normal and borderline boring. X5 looks ridiculous imho. My point on this is, if you ever had to sell a used P35x a few years from now, there is a much bigger audience than there would be with the X5. -
Ok well.... What is anyones best p35x 3dmark firestrike test? Mine is 9730.
Im still on thr fence with this. Im inclined to agree the reason is thr 980 has a vbios thst can be overclocked
I havent found a recent game that doesnt support sli othrr than arkham asylum. But ive heard the unreal 4 engine does not.
Overall less than 1 percent.
I didnt know about the msata. Right at the moment msata is larger but in a short time it will end up being the opposite.Last edited: Aug 26, 2015 -

I bet those 965M run cooler though. How are the temps when running FS?
-
Yes always in the 50c
It is almost a design flaw it has 2 fans both on gpus both with heatpipes to the cpu. So thr gpus never even heat up. Without oc the temperature actually drops in fs -
-
Well it has 2 fans on the gpus but none on the cpu.
Whereas common designs have one for each
The 2 gpu heat synchs attach to the cpu.
Same as x7. So thr cpu is cooled semi fanless. But in short i would say temperature is an advantage of thr x5
I agree with you even though the graphics score is higher the in game is almost the same.
And i believe the 980 overclocks more if you flash the vbios. Wheres the 965 has no vbios flash not a very common card -

I think we're a long way from 144Hz laptop screens on thin designs. The pcbs are just too big still and I'm sure they get hot. Maybe with a thicker laptop it's possible, but I'm never ever going back to >1 inch. -

Hi there, on the verge of buying the p35X V4 today just want to know if the 970m causes less strain on the laptop than the 980m does in terms of heating. I will be playing just casual ESL games like CS:GO and LOL, I will be playing for numerous hours like 5 hours max, is this laptop going to throttle or what?

Hey guys im having a small issue, nothing ground breaking.
I bought a TV to hook up to my laptop and when I boot the computer the sound configuration pops up everytime. This has hapened on two seperate TV's via HDMI and I have no idea why and have seen nothing on google.
start up -> sound configuration menu opens up.
Anyone know a fix? -
I have had the cpu throttle with gaming for hours but never thr gpu.
You can see in test 3 thr cpu can reach 95
But the gpu even overclocked doesnt get to 60
It actuslly goes down from idle during test 1.
But i am going to repaste.
It has no fan on thr cpu design it has 2 pipes from each gpu to the cpu -

Guys, I need help!
My battery sign on my p35x v4 is on even after my laptop is shut down, what does that mean? The sign is a battery with an electric icon inside, please help -
Regards.
