    Hello all, I'm new to clevo and I'm very interested in the Sager NP8268, it looks nice and is very affordable, but I saw some mentions about the PCH temperature issue with this model (and a lot of other clevo barebones) that the PCH stay at a very high temperature causing the fans to spin up randomly, does this happen to you guys too?

    Also I'd like to know the difference between NP8268 and NP8268-S, is the difference only about different graphics card configurations?

    Thanks in advance and waiting for your response.

    It usually happens in every laptops like alienware, etc. The PCH doesn´t have to do with the fans, there is a fan for the gpu and other one for the cpu, the PCH doesn´t have fan, in fact, it has passive colling, so that it usually reach high temps.
    You shouldn´t worry about it.
    Cheers.

    Often the PCH is left as a bare die. But yes it won't impact fan speeds.
