I only use the Recoil's water cooler when gaming, so in general it stays off. I was finding very annoying to have to open the control center, go to the liquid cooling section and having to connect to the cooler whenever I turned it on, so I made a simpler system tray utility to do it faster...

There is some flex in the central part of the keyboard but you have to press hard with intention to see it. If you type normally you will never notice. In general the laptop feels very solid with the full metal body. I mostly use external monitors so don't use the laptop screen on the daily...

I just assumed I first needed to install PCS drivers so the devices would be detected at all, then windows update would upgrade them to the latest version sometime later. Didn't think to check optional updates (y)

Thanks for the tip, good to know for a future install. I did install using LAN but then as soon as windows was ready, I didn't do the optional updates, just went straight to the PCSpecialist drivers thinking that was needed to detect the things that didn't work out of the box like wifi.

I finally did a windows reinstall (not clean) and the audio is back, without losing all my apps and settings 😅 phew There was no existing partitions, the new SSD was empty (I didn't keep the included SSD inside, I'm using it as an external drive now in a M.2 USB enclosure). I had to install...

I installed via USB pendrive myself, and installed all the drivers from PCSpecialist in the right order. Audio has been working fine until a few days ago that all output devices disappeared. Not sure if it might have been a windows update.

The current RAM and SSD are different from the original specs. 64GB kingston fury impact and a 2TB WD_BLACK SN850X

For some reason all my audio devices disappeared in my 2024 Recoil 16. The Realtek card is detected, but there are no audio outputs. Not even the NVIDIA HDMI ones. And when trying to reinstall the official audio drivers from PCSpecialist (downloaded from...

The RAM and SSD is different now, as I installed my own. But I guess it doesn't matter for this topic.

I have the 2024 Recoil 16. When I set battery to stationary mode, it still charges to 100%. Is that expected? Other laptops with battery protection are charging to 60% when in the equivalent to stationary mode.

After my ASUS ROG STRIX G713Q gave up the ghost unexpectedly after just 3.5 years (mobo issue for which they asked more than 1300€ to replace) I decided it was a good excuse to get a new laptop instead. Really wanted 16GB VRAM so I could run larger AI models locally, so the RTX 4090 was the...

I need as much RAM as possible for Houdini simulations. If I install 96gb myself, would I void the warranty?

In the configurator and specs, it says 64gb is maximum for the Recoil 16, but other laptops with the 14900HX support 96gb. So if I put two 48gb modules, for sure it won't work?
