Question is...how reliable is it compared to the Samsung?
-
Hi guys
I've noticed something recently after playing on Witcher 3 for extended periods my laptop becomes sluggish. But the thing is it doesn't happen all the time, after it idles down to normal temperatures. There is no issue when gaming I can still multi-task with no problems.
Only way to resolve seems to be a restart... -

I have no clue how or why it happened, but no joke XTU applied it on it's own randomly. Sometime I was just browsing the internet when it happened and other times I was playing games.
I sent a bug report to intel but I know I will not receive a reply about it.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, even after uninstall the issue persisted. Once I installed XTU the service seemed to always stay running even without the program, If I did a clean install of windows the issue did not come back until I reinstalled XTU, which is how I found the issue.hmscott, ssj92, Mr. Fox and 1 other person like this. -

Honestly, I do call things a Clevo all the time, because it's too difficult to remember every single model name. However, I can directly say that I always suggest vendors that I know will do a better job with machines. The thermal pad placements beyond stock that your company and HIDevolution do, the delids you both do on the desktop CPU models, all sorts of stuff. I always take it into consideration. When OEMs go above and beyond then there's reason to go through them. I wish there were more like you around. Please keep doing what you're doing, I thoroughly enjoy being able to support and suggest users to you.
Also a question, do you deal with Australia as well?dm477, Papusan, John@OBSIDIAN-PC and 1 other person like this. -

I guess i can ship anywhere but i don´t know how the tax system works there. When we ship to outside Europe we sell without tax, so that means -23% on the prices you see on our website. Then when it arrives to your country local tax policy applies (i dont have any idea how customs work down there).
Shipping costs will probably be high too, it´s like sending to the other side of the planet -

Yes I am undervolting using Throttlestop using -155.3 for CPU Core and Cache...
My temps are pretty good so I can't see what is causing it. -

After changing undervolt values i always run AIDA Extreme stability test, good tool, enable everything but the HDD test. Run for around 20m and then stop it, sometimes it only crashes when you hit the stop button (also weird i know).pressing likes this. -

Thank you guys,
I will look to reduce aggressive undervolt and see if problems recurs. -

Hey you guys, if anyone is thinking about buying the eurocom laptop right now and you haven't already, I say wait for amd Ryzen to be released because the cpus are going to be much cheaper. I can't wait to get my hands on a 7700k at finally an affordable price!

I just tend to buy what I can get into my budget when I'm ready to buy. There is ALWAYS something better coming soon. It's a fools errand to try to keep up unless you just constantly spend money on it.Aroc, UsmanKhan, syscrusher and 1 other person like this. -
- BGA turdbooks would not be the accepted norm and everyone would abhor this tech filth
- OEM would not assume the role of dictators or succumb to any of Micro$loth's edicts
- We would not need to do mods to make up for engineering incompetence
- ODMs would build laptops as if they were working for our benefit
- @Prema would need to find another place to use his talent
- Firmware would not be used to castrate good hardware
- We would not need to do mods to get full performance
- Intel and NVIDIA would not have a monopoly
- Overclocking would be easy for everyone

You can get an infinitely fast computer with infinite storage capacity, for free, if you wait an infinite amount of time. -

It doesn't seem to be caused by vibrations in the chassis - I checked all the fan screws and they seem fine. It seems the noise is coming from the fan itself and I'm guessing it's an issue with the bearings (balance or lubrication or something like that).
-Has anyone else experienced this? Any theories as to what the issue could be? In the GT62VR thread some other people had the issue as well, on multiple machines after getting replacements. Maybe it's just bad fan quality overall?
-Does anyone know what kind of bearing is inside the fan? Would it make sense to try greasing them or should I not even bother?
-Does anyone know the fan model and where to get a replacement if needed?
I've contacted CyberpowerUK and asked for two replacement fans (they both have the issue but it's worse on the CPU side). Since I'm in Denmark, it would be a bit excessive to ship the entire laptop back to the UK for a minor fan issue.Mr. Fox likes this. -

With the amount of VMware, SQL, source compiles, and other multi-threaded things I do, I would gladly take a hit in raw clock speed if I could bump my number of cores. -
So i received my 120hz LCD screen (B156HTN05.2.). Big thanks to Mr. Fox's tutorial on youtube! I was able to easily change out the LCD screen to the 120hz without any major issues.
I ordered the one on Amazon for $98. Unfortunately, it had a vertical line and 1 dead pixel so I am getting it exchanged for a new one. Barely noticeable during gaming but enough to bug me. The 120hz is amazing!
Couple of questions for those who have changed it. As mentioned previously, the brightness is at 100% for the most part. Is there anyway to control this and dim it a bit? After awhile it hurts my eyes. Seems that even software controls don't appear to work?
Secondly, are there any alternative 120hz screens that are a better fit for this laptop yet? Is there one in the works by Eurocom that will eventually be available with G-Sync?hmscott and birdyhands like this. -
Short answer is this panel is the only one and brightness control and G-Sync are being worked on with no ETA.

I'd like to have both of those fixed just so I can have the satisfaction of knowing that everything works 100%. That would also be nice if I were to ever sell it. But, for me and the way I use the machine it does not matter than neither brightness control nor G-Sync are working. I do not use either of those features.birdyhands, hfm, Papusan and 1 other person like this. -

@Mr. Fox How well do you think this will work on the right CPU fan vent at load (~90C)?

What a mess of a laptop this laptop has been. First new laptop in 9 years and the thing is crap. I buy nothing but used laptops and never had this many issues with anything used, oh no I get it when I buy new. -
I asked the seller about this for this particular laptop and they said similar stuff to the one I just wrote. -
@Jarred Jameson Thanks. Will let you know how it goes on Tuesday!

Have you already done the important stuff inside of the chassis, like de-lid and using Liquid Ultra?
It's sad that you got a lemon. I hope that @Eurocom Support resolves everything to your complete satisfaction.Rage Set likes this. -

And it's not really a super mechanical/physical sound (like if something was caught in the blades). It's this low kind of rumble - almost engine like; as if there was a tiny diesel generator inside the laptop.
I'm guessing the fans are slightly off axis or something like that. But I don't know enough about it to say for sure or how to remedy it, if possible. I'd rather not disassemble the fans without having some replacements to install if something goes wrong.
Someone made a video about the problem on their GT62VR. If you listen with headphones, the sound is very distinct next to the usual "fans moving a lot of air" sounds: -

There is this one as well... http://www.nelsonpires.com/software/dimmer/ that I haven't tried.
I have used DimScreen app, which you can get here... http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/ and it works fine. It's 100% portable and doesn't use any resources to speak of... 2.1MB of memory and 0% CPU utilization.cavell219 likes this. -

I heard there's talk of a Ryzen version... If that's true I'll be on it like white on rice.
