If you still have warranty left on the laptop I suggest to check with PCS if they can assist with the keyboard replacement .

That seems to be a stellar PC :-) But given the change in specs it leaves you less for a suitable monitor , any specific wish in terms of size of the screen ? Also do you requre a monitor with a dedicated G-Sync module or just one that is G-Sync certified ?

I`m also using an OnePlus 7T Pro but the McLaren Edition , so far I`m still very pleased with it and see no added benefit ( other than 5G ) to upgrade .

Okay ... that`s some progress . Just to check the audio in general from the laptop , can you try the same tasks but via bluetooth audio or USB only audio ? Just to see if the same issues occur there also ?

Speaking of Dan Brown , his books are a fair bit bit better than the films :-) i`ve read all but one of his books starring Prof Langdon . But one good movie to watch is Needful Things , it is based on a very good book by Stephen King .

Audio via USB and audio over audio jack is two different things . One is digital and one is analogue which means that the 3.5mm output sound is processed by the onboard Realtek card and the USB audio is handled by an DSP at speaker end ( usually ) . Realtek drivers have no influence on digital...

Just a question on this , do you have the same issue using bluetooth audio ? Or is it just audio through the onboard speakers ? Have you tried the audio jack with headphones ?

No it is not useless , i`m just saying that Intel`s cpu`s are known for running a bit hot . With new cooling paste properly applied the temps might drop 5-6 degrees . But it will still run hot compared to AMD Ryzen cpu`s . It is how the processor is made and the laptop should be designed to...

What you all seems to forget or ignore is that Intel CPU`s run quite a bit hotter than AMD`s , this is true also for mobile ones . Hence his Intel i7 11800H will at any speed and usage be warmer than an AMD Ryzen 8 and 9 with Zen 3. This is unavoidable and by design , repaste will then only do...

Thunderbolt is mainly used for fast external storage or external graphics cards or similar high bandwidth products . If you have no intention to use that , I`d reckon to go for option A as it has more cores and is in general a faster CPU than in option B . On the other hand , you have opted for...

There is two things I`d like to amend on these laptops 1: Have the RAM work in pairs for Dual Channel , it will boost performance quite noticeable 2: Up the speed of the memory if you can afford it . Faster memory equals more responsive system . For these 11th gen CPU`s I`d suggest 3200 Mhz...

Have you downloaded Intel`s chipset drivers ? Sometimes updated chipset drivers will make the OS work better with the system board and memory system . Just head onto Intel`s webpage and allow it to scan the laptop for the most up to date drivers ...

Well it depends .... Intel`s CPU´s are dependent on boosting the clockspeed as when needed , and he doesen`t need to use the CPU at 100 % at all times , hence it is better to have a lower nominal power usage and allow to boost when needed . But I do agree that checking the cooling paste is also...

I would also suggest in order to reduce the heat on your CPU , lower PL1 to 35w and set PL2 to 55watt . This will make the CPU to use up to 35 watt power nominal and 55 watt boost ( turbo ) as I`ve understood the settings . This will ge some room for enabling more power to the GPU without...

The settings I`m using is shown in the screenshot below . As you can see i`ve enabled the full performance and power allowance for my GPU .

It is the power allowance setting for the GPU . You should have it in your Control Center , usually at the Performance icon .

I agree and besides you run Windows 11 and me Windows 10 , your laptop seems to run quite a bit warmer than mine . At max fan my GPU seldom hit more than 78-80 degrees and often less than that . Also my CPU is usually hovering at 80 degrees , so they are not by any means running hot while gaming...

Your TimeSpy score is quite close to mine though , not a huge margin between them . I`m running Windows 10 Pro so there could be differencies between the OS that makes the scores different . https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/68679764?

If the laptop is mainly going to be used with CAD , I would advise against a GeForce card as their drivers are gaming focused . Instead I would look for a nVidia RTX A4000 or A5000 as their drivers are aimed towards those software and the performance will be better and more stable . Now I don`t...

RTX 2080 is the last gen RTX model and thus laptops with that GPU is getting rare and prices are not matched and relevant compared to current RTX GPU`s . That being said , RTX 3080 might not at all be better as it depends on the TGP of that card . A Max-Q RTX 3080 might be slower than a higher...
