Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you are all having a wonderful day!!

Just a side note from what you have said here i do not think windows is configured properly. If you were to keep it i would be recommending a full fresh install and configuration of windows.

Have you ever re-pasted your GPU and CPU? Are the fins on your cooler and fans free from dust and debris?

If you are able i would definitely consider returning it and getting something along the lines of what @Scott has suggested (although like you did previously i would recommend the MX-4 thermal compound). Out of interest do you have Control Center installed and configured?

I won't lie I refuse to pay £50 for it. Squeenix are getting really bad for this sort of thing. They are moving into nfts now.

It's £70 quid what the hell! I haven't been on steam for a couple of months now. I was hoping to get the ff remake when I got back from my work trip but not a chance if they are selling it for that!

If I won the lottery my wife would tell me how I would spend it....

Wow that took an incredibly long time! I'm glad you finally got the MUX unlocked though!

I will definitely wait till its £15 in a winter sale.

It does sound like a pretty good bit of kit. I've said before the main thing i would probably use it for is emulation. Its emulation support looks absolutely insane. What sort of games are you playing on it? Do you find the majority just work or do you spend ages messing about with them to get...

Don't worry about it mate this forum is far better. Stay around!!

This is the thing mate. I definitely don't need one but my god I want it.

So my steam deck is due to be available starting next month. For those of you that have had one for a while is it worth while. I am sitting on the fence a bit at the minute. I am away with work and have been absolutely glued to my switch in what little free time I have. It has got me thinking do...

My advice would be to perform a clean installation of Windows and see if that resolves the issue.

That Intel CPU does run hot. In terms of weather you should be worried or not would depend on more testing. If you want more advice start a new thread and people will help you test your thermals. P.S sorry for the mega late response.

Wow In the decade I have been a member of this forum this is a first! Its a good job you sent the laptop back to them! Absolutely 100% get a refund. If PCS are telling you that the configuration is incompatible and at best would cause performance issues at worse would cause damage you have got...

@PoneyKlub Looking at the difference between you and the similarly specced defiance your GPU and CPU appear to be running at a lower clock rate. You could push more performance by setting your fan profile to Max Fans in Control Center, unlocking your dynamic boost and setting your TGP to the max.

Hey man I am sorry things were not easy but I am so happy for you all. I hope you are all getting some rest. Enjoy this mega special time.

No mate if you did have the ability to switch to dGPU it would be there. Unfortunately you just have Optimus on its own.

That looks really nice. Can you run some benchmarks and let us know how it performs?
