Ah perfect, found it thanks!

As thread title, I am wondering what's the base chassis model for this laptop: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/recoil-II-16/

There is a setting in the BIOS under advanced chipset control called "Battery saver" - this needs to be disabled.

You don't need Clevo Control Centre or any specific driver - the embedded controller handles the default fan curves, CCC will let you adjust these but not stop them from working at all. The correct answer is that 90 C is simply normal for this CPU in this laptop when under load. The only way to...

The built in Clevo fan control is kind of garbage, you can try this if you want: https://github.com/djsubtronic/ClevoFanControl It's a fan control app that lets you set custom temperature based fan curves, I've been using it on my 15" Defiance so far, if the 17" is also a two fan system (not...

It's a known issue with this model, I had the exact model (PCS equivalent was Defiance XS), went through about 4 keyboards over 3 years. I was able to order replacements via my account.

Is the Defiance a DTR though? It's a 3070 "Max Q" and 10870H, both "low" power high efficiency components. Just seems a bit weird that rather than throttling the power levels when on battery as it has done on the previous Defiance models, it just switches off abruptly as soon as any load is...

I have a Defiance 2021 with 10870H and 3070, and it has a weird power issue that I've never encountered on any laptop before, when running on battery. Basically, whenever a sudden load is introduced (i.e. benchmark app or a game) while running on battery, the laptop simply shuts down. I'm...

Might be the actual sound of the fan kicking in? I noticed similar noises on my Clevo as well, Clevo fans can be pretty crap tbh.

So unplugging/replugging at the laptop itself doesn't do anything? If so, then it seems like a safety switch is tripping within the power brick itself (surge protection?) which is only reset when you unplug the wall to brick lead. Most likely a faulty power brick.

For GPU stress test use Furmark.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Recoil is a Tongfang chassis whereas you seem to be using the Clevo Control Centre.

How come a lot of the newer Intel laptops (even with 10th gen CPUs) come with 3200 MHz RAM then? It must be supported in some way?

Looks like the XMP-3200 profile requires 1.35V instead of 1.2V, would need to check if the motherboard supports this voltage otherwise it will likely run at 2666 MHz max.

I also get around 82 C on the GPU in some games. If I use max fan it usually stays around 79-80 C. You can enable max fan by pressing Fn + 1. For the CPU 85 C is ok.
