At those temps your clocks must be really stable, nicely tuned for 24/7.

Better temps then me.

Regarding your concerns about the safety of liquid metal thermal interface material, yes applying anything metal conductive to a piece of electronic equipment has its risks, but we have a proprietary means of application to prevent leakage. Also, you can rest assured that any upgrades that we perform will be covered under warranty. Regarding its long term effects, we have been offering liquid metal thermal compound for over a year with no ill effects or reports of issues from users. On the contrary, we found liquid metal thermal material to be more effective than traditional thermal interface material over the long term.
To India and back...no problem when it is done correctly. -

I've certainly never had issues with packages crossing the Atlantic, even bare LCDs (when packaged properly).

. The first thing I did after opening the box was tearing the laptop open to see its guts. Ballsy moves stuck with me since the Alienware days.
Really interested in knowing what actually happened to m4gg0t's system. Disregard the fact that he tinkered with its settings a lot more than I, the out-of-the-box experience for me was immaculate. Guess we all have different priorities.Last edited: May 31, 2018Donald@Paladin44 likes this. -

Hi.
Does anyone have any info on what 4k display is used in this model?
I do a lot of video editing and am hoping that it will work well at 50 and 60Hz. My current laptop suffers from stutter and tearing during video preview
and am hoping the combination of g sync and a good display will cure this.
Thanks in advance. -

Sweet specs...see http://www.panelook.com/B173ZAN01.0_AUO_17.3_LCM_overview_25358.htmlMr. Fox likes this. -
So, the new 8086k should work with these right? Love my 8700k, but would love to get a bit more out of it.
-
Any1 can give me a quick summary of some pros/cons of this laptop? I'm thinking of getting a used model with i7-7700k and gtx 1080with the 3k 120hz screen

Hi All, had a good read at the forum as I'm looking at getting a new laptop in the next few months. Its an LG Carbon Extreme from Scan 3XS. I'm looking at the 8700k with 1080.
I've read about the CPU or GPU getting quite hot, is it possible to delid these? Has anyone got any pics or guides on taking the CPU out for delidding of possible?
Any advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Apologies should have added, that apparently they use P775TM chassis.
ThanksLast edited: Jun 6, 2018 -

Hi All.
Just one more question. I hear a lot about "banding" on the B173ZAN01.0 60Hz 4K UHD display on these forums. Does anyone have a picture of this so I can see if it will be an issue or not..
Thanks in advance. -
Now I start having problems with not being able to turn on Wifi after Wake from Sleep with the Killer 1550. Only a full system restart will help. Disabled Power Management in Device Manager but didn't help. Driver issue with Win 10 1803?
-
-
Not too fussed about Wifi as I'm using Ethernet 99% of the time. Wifi is useful if you have Killer Doubleshot, but to me that was just a gimmick and outright broke my internet access sometimes. Most likely drivers vs Win 10 as usual.Last edited: Jun 7, 2018 -

Hello again. Sorry to be a pain.
As no one may have a picture available would the 4K banding be better, the same or worse than this?
http://www.overclock.net/photopost/data/1621714/e/ed/edbfafcc_IMG_3145.jpeg
I also hear that it can be minimized with some graphic tweaks as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks. -

I currently have an np8278 and the banding is so slight it doesn't bother me. This is what makes this so hard. It's subjective and what bothers one may not bother another. As I do a lot of video editing I need to be able to see if there are any compression artifacts, and if the banding is too much it may hide them.
Thanks. -

I want to end this post by saying that recommending another brand over Sager does NOT mean Sagers/Clevos are bad systems (cause they're definitely great!), but everyone has their own needs and you should pick a brand/model with strengths that work in your favor.raz8020 likes this. -
I will have to probably wait until I receive my laptop to know. It is very subjective.
Someone was complaining about banding on the following picture. But to me, this small level of banding is perfectly fine and wouldn't be enough to affect what I was doing.

Is there something in the BIOS we need to change @Prema ? -
-
Has anyone figured out how to get static/fixed voltage to work on these? I can make all the changes in the bios I want, but attempting to set something like 1.25v, I still end up with fluctuations up into the high 1.4~s

You would need to play around with the load line calibration.

But like I said, I do not recommend using AC/DC Loadline 1 on this system. -

Hi all,
for anyone who has an external keyboard, do you know if fn+1 will turn on the max fans, or will it only work with the built-in keyboard attached to the laptop?
Also, if the keyboard(external) has built in fn keys, would it still work? Just curious if anyone has experienced something similar as I was thinking of getting one!
Cheers. -
