The fuse ? Don't know what is that but we did check a proper plugging. Thanks, I'll take a look on Google for the fuse.

Ok that was the clover leaf cable connecting to the AC adapter. Bought a new one 2.50€ on Amazon. Weird it broke without apparent reason.

I meant the icon on Windows doesn't show it plugged in. It says "on battery" and currently in saving mode. The battery is removeable on this chassis, also. I removed and put it back, but no change. I tried a "power reset" thing, no change. I tried to plug the charger in other rooms of the house...

Hello, I powered up my laptop just an hour ago and noticed the battery was not plugged in. I shutdown, unplugged everything and put it back and the laptop is still on battery and not charging. I guess it's either the charger or the PC having a problem but nothing changed since last thursday. Is...

Thanks for the good job (you do nice plots on Excel he !). Indeed the repasting doesn't drastically change the thermals but that's a good news for PCS work. On my side, I have received the paste but will wait a few months as I want to trust the good work of PCS. And also I don't have much time...

Good job, I appreciate that you posted those advice. I'll wait maybe 2-3 months before doing it as it seems PCS is doing a good job. I took some isopropanol to clean the old paste. For sure it is useful to monitor the ambient temperature before running temperature benchmarks. Please keep us...

Yes please share pictures for the repasting :D I'll follow because you'll bring me confidence. I'll run more tests after that. Do you any good way to monitor the performance while gaming ? Every gaming session is different (even if it's the same game), so it's pretty hard to have consistency...

Nice graph by the way ! From stock to 1620 MHz: for a performance loss of 3%, you gain 3°C, it's worth it. I could play a bit more with my laptop - but no demanding games (Borderlands 3, Phasmaphobia, Payday 2). Always playing on stock settings. The area left of the touchpad can get quite hot...

Thank you very much! I received the thermal past but didn't repaste yet. Still not sure if it's worth. What would be your conclusion of your tests? What clock is best for you?

I should check for that stand but isn't it weird to have the keyboard tilted? I am used to have my hands flat on the keyboard. My friend seems to have the same thermals as I have. Or we both have normal thermals or bad ones. We'll run some tests. Hahaha at end I only played 30min since I have my...

Nice video, thank you. It was a bit too fast to show the repasting process tough. I am not so confident to repaste because 1) I never did it before 2) I don't even know if my thermals are good/bad. I should first assess the quality of the paste but if I open, I'll have to replace it anyway. The...

Thanks for your dedication! I find it quite tedious to hunt for Windows background processes. I took a look at some softwares to do it automatically but everything seems shady. I just kill my apps such as Dropbox and other front end apps but I don't know what else could be done. I hope...

Yesterday I played Payday 2 and put the settings to the maximum with a FPS limit of 144 (my screen max). I noticed that the FPS was dropping to ~100 FPS in intense fights but the GPU load was still low (let's say 60% max). Why the GPU was not pushing further ? Awaiting for the CPU (not at 100%...

Yes, comparing the first 3 rows. I am really thinking about background processes. I should set "experimental conditions" and write down everything to be certain. I asked my friend who has the exact same laptop as me (all stock settings) and he has very similar CPU temps. Or we both have normal...

Ok so the fixed Clock Speed is never a good idea. Let's discard this idea. I think I finally understand better why the temperature is not lowering so much even tough I decrease the max voltage. It is simply because I modify the maximum freq/voltage but what matters is the freq/voltage over time...
