Hi, I'm doing some research and was wondering, what clevo model do the Optimus pro XI, Defiance VII and Vyper refer to? many thanks L

I just have, thank you, fingers crossed

Ok I found them: Screw M1.6*3.5L K(T=1.2 D=4.5) BZ ICT NY" Part No. 6-35-82116-3R5 But can't find them anywhere online! Any pointer would be most welcome, many thanks

I need to purchase new screws as I managed to strip the head of two out of the four gpu screws holding the copper of the gpu heatsink in place over the gpu. Can you kindly please tell me the exact model/dimensions of these screws are so I can get a few more? This is a p170sm. Many thanks Luca

No improvement, as expected, but i'll keep the stock bios. How did you get such drop in temps?!? that's amazing. Did you order new heatsinks and fans, and both gpu and cpu but only installed new fans? Do you still have the new heatsink? Thanks!

Yes, it makes sense, however PCS bios was an older revision and doesn't allow granular control. I've actually been juggling both, and am reverting to the stock one from PCS right now to see if it has an impact at all on temps.

yes, and fans should work fine, but don't really know. But I would find it odd that both would work but not at 100%. Could it be aging cpu and gpu? I have an i7 4800mq and 780m that are 7 years old and haven't repasted or cleaned the heatsinks as often as I wished. If you wanted to test it...

Update. I replaced both the GPU and CPU heatsinks, repasted with brand new mx4 and replaced the old CPU thermal pad. What do you think of the temps below? Ultimately, what are your thoughts about being able to extend the life of this 7 years old laptop a few more years? Also could it simply be...

thanks, i'll give it a go and see if temps improve at all.

no, prices are prohibitive, between x3 and x5 higher than other sources. Also did contact eurocom but they didn't get back to me.

Great, glad you sorted yours. I ended up ordering a CPU and GPU heatsink replacements, but could only source second hand. I received both the GPU and CPU heatsink replacements. The GPU one looks fine and will replace ASAP. The CPU heatsink, the copper looks aged and stained. See picture...

thanks, yes a few times over 7 years. I'm even thinking perhaps I could get a new gpu as well as heatsinks, maybe a 1060m or 1070m if suitable. I'd love to find out more, thanks for your help

My Vortex4 has been plagued by overheating for a very long time and upon researching, it seems like other users with similar issues had them solved by replacing the GPU heatsink, on top of repasting. This applies to both CPU and GPU, with CPU idling at 51C and reaching 95C upon heavy load, GPU...

In my days it was go with Intel and Nvidia. I'm a bit behind, care to elaborate? Thanks

I'm looking at purchasing a top of the line defiance vii for graphic intensive applications and games (unreal engine, flight simulator 2020, houdini). I like the 2cm thickness form factor, but am concerned about overheating, has anybody experienced issues with this line? Thanks L

Hi, I recently started encountering an issue when running cuda applications on my vortex laptop with gtx780M (see pic attached). A pop up appears complaining about a problem ejecting the nvidia geforce card (!!!). This is happening with a number of drivers including the latest 372.54. Does...

Hi, I've very recently started realising my 1.4years old vortex IV hits high cpu temps in the rage of 97-99degrees C on all four i7 cores on high load. Obviously the bottom part of the case is quite hot, just manageable to touch it with my hand. On light load it settles at around 58-67degrees C...

Hi, I was wondering what customizations did PCS apply to the vortex4 stock bios (clevo P170SM). I would assume PCS would just add their own logo leaving the rest pretty much intact, but could anybody please shed some light? I'm just curious! :) Thanks! L

[SORTED] Vortex4 bios update question I'm the owner of a p170sm laptop from pcspecialist, they recently sent me a usb key containing a bios update for my laptop. I created a usb boot key with rufus and copied the files PCS sent me. Basically during the update process I got warning and errors...
