I brought the Octane III after around a year of buying the Octane II which had an i5 6600k cpu and a gtx 970m gpu in it. Realized that it was starting to struggle with newer games bad choice going for the 970m over the 980m so decided to get the Octane III with a i7 6700k cpu and a gtx 1080 gpu...

I have an Octane 3 with a gtx 1080 gpu and a i7 6700k cpu. I'm getting pretty bad performance in games even at 1080p res like my fps will be at above 60 but then I get stutters they only last like half a second if that but they're noticable no matter what I do I can't seem to fix it. Turning on...

Hi all, Received my Octane 3 today and more than happy with it however the speakers don't seem to be as loud at the ones on my Octane 2 and the built in sub-woofer seems to be doing nothing. I've installed the X-fi 5 drivers and the audio drivers found on the download page but no avail. Do I...

I've purchased an Octane 3 with a gtx 1080 and while I wait for it to be built I'm wondering how it would do with 4k gaming but most of the benchmarks I see on YouTube show that the 1080 still isn't great for 4k gaming at ultra or maxed out settings. So I'm wondering if 4k gaming with graphic...

I've purchased an Octane 3 laptop with a gtx 1080 gpu just wondering if it's possible to overclock I know it's possible on desktops but with cooling is it safe to do on a laptop? Probably won't overclock as it'll be a beast compared to my current Octane 2 with a gtx 970m gpu but the 1080 still...

Hi, I currently have an Octane II and I'm looking to upgrade to a new laptop. Is it worth getting the SLI gtx 1080 vortex VI over the single gtx 1080 Octane III? Would say the Octane looks better imo and obviously Octane III is cheaper but would there be a massive performance increase for the...

Hi all, Last year I purchased an Octane II laptop with a i5 6600k cpu and gtx 970m gpu. Obviously since then the Octane III has been released with a GTX 1080 gpu in it though for the configuration I'm after I'm looking at nearly 3 grand. I know I haven't had the Octane II for long but do you...

Hi, I've had an Octane II for a few months but for the past week or 2 the control center hasn't been launching on start up and there is no way to launch it after boot up. I've tried reinstalling and it works for like a day and then next day I turn on the laptop it won't start on boot up. It's...

Hi all, I purchased a Octane II a few months ago and at the time couldn't afford to have the gtx 980m gpu in it so went with the gtx 970m. However I would like to have higher graphic settings with a constant 60 fps. Atm in gta 5 I get between 50-60 most of the time with drops to 45 fps in...

Hi, I recently brought an Octane II a few months ago with the I5 6600k cpu and the GTX 970m gpu, sadly the 980m was pushing the budget too much. I'm wondering if my laptop will still be able to run games that will be released this year at high graphic settings at 50-60 fps or will it struggle...

Hi, I'm wondering if it's worth the risk of overclocking the GPU and/or CPU on my Octane II. Sadly the 980m gpu was pushing the price too much so went with the 970m but I've seen online that the 970m can get close to the 980m performance with overclocking. Knowing my luck I'd brick the laptop...

Hi, Not part of any other forum for discussing online shops so thought I'd try here I know we shouldn't talk about other retailers but this isn't regarding a PC but sorry if it's an issue. My brother ordered a Gear S2 Classic for my christmas present on the 23rd so obviously didn't get here...

I have Kitsound Hive speaker and it worked fine on my old laptop which is windows 10 and connects fine to my phone too but with my Octane II it doesn't want to know. It pairs fine and says connected in the bluetooth settings window then after 10 seconds changes to paired. If I go into speaker...

I'm using an Afterglow Xbox controller on my laptop whilst playing gta 5 which works fine but I have this annoying issue where sometimes the controller won't work and then when I unplugged and plug it back in it switches to player two which is why is not being recognized. Sometimes this happens...

This is my Octane II. It's a brilliant laptop and only downsides to it are that it's heavy so not very suitable to take to work or college etc though I reckon you would get used to it after a while and battery life isn't great I reckon 4 hours at the most but I've never really properly checked...

I have a gtx 970m in my Octane II and with most games like gta 5 for example the in game vram usage bar shows that at 1080p with max settings (MSAA turned off and advanced graphics turned off) It's only using just under 4gb of Vram and I have 6gb so would expect a solid 60 fps. While It does get...

Hi, Recently got an Octane II with GTX 970m graphics card in it sadly couldn't afford the 980m. I've looked online and found that the 970m overclocked will perform just as well as a 980m. Anyone got any views on this? If it is a good idea to overclock the gpu, how do I go about doing it? Can...

Just want to say thanks to the guys at PC specialist! Took a while for my Octane II to get out of pre-production and into building but was quickly dispatched a couple of days after and received it today and couldn't be happier. Had to do the usual driver installs but now they're all installed it...

Hi all, I finally got my octane II laptop today impressed with it so far but still getting everything set up. I was reading through the manual and I went to access control center with Fn + ESC key and nothing happened. There is also no icon in task bar notification tray bit and no mention of it...
