    PCSPECIALIST My new PCS laptop

    If you know how to use a screw driver you are pretty much qualified to do it yourself. It really isn't that hard and there are plenty of youtube videos with good advice. You will also not void your warranty unless you do something mad whilst your are inside the laptop.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 - Possible to run 1440p 240hz on external monitor?

    That's my bad I didn't realise. Presumably the way to go would be HDMI to DP then?

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    I thought it was. No just close chrome when we are doing the troubleshooting. My next port of call would be to uninstall your display drivers using DDU and any other GPU related software you have installed (such as MSI afterburner). Then reinstall the GPU with drivers from the Nvidia website.

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 - Possible to run 1440p 240hz on external monitor?

    No worries. You want a USB-C to DP cable and you need to make sure its rated at 2k 240Hz. Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPort-uni-Thunderbolt-32-4Gbps-Compatible-Grey/dp/B09HKL7M2N/ref=psdc_949408031_t3_B075V27G2R?th=1 I have the 2k 165Hz version of that cable and it...

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    Ok so even if your GPU does usually idle around 22-27 degrees (which frankly would surprise me if it did) the new temperatures you are reporting here are still absolutely fine and would not cause performance problems. You said earlier you received a warning that your GPU was over heating. What...

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    GPU temps still look fine, how long did you leave the benchmark running for running for? For belt and braces you could run 3DMark Firestrike and share your results page here but i still think its going to report your temperatures being fine. Again what software reported to you that your GPU...

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    Right ok. Can you download and install Unigene Heaven. Run that and then take a screen shot of HWMonitor at the same time so we can see what temps your GPU is reaching under load? https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven As @Rakk asked what software is reporting to you that the GPU is overheating?

    Can you start being specific here please because there is a lot of confusion. What temperatures are you talking about? Your CPU or your GPU?

    PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 - Possible to run 1440p 240hz on external monitor?

    You do have DP its via the USB-C port Whether you can reach 1440p 240Hz is going to depend on the game and graphic settings.

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    Right so we are all on the same page here your problem is with GPU temps? What makes you say there is a problem with your GPU temps? What gave you the warning that GPU temps were high? Like we have already said your temps on the CPU are not high, they are exactly where I would expect them to be.

    PCSPECIALIST Gpu idle temp and memory usage high help!

    Yeh there is nothing wrong with your temps at all. Can you try to be more specific about what the problem you are experiencing is? So far in all your screen shots there is nothing wrong with your memory usage and your temps. The only thing I can see wrong with your computer so far is you had...

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    I've never really thought of the bridge as ugly but it must be said I've never been called an artist. To be fair though I don't view the bridge as a tourist so we are probably coming at it from different angles. It makes life on the island far more convenient.

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    I much prefer Skye with the bridge. That ferry annoyed me. That being said tourists are a pain. January - March is a great time to be on the isle.

    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    Well I am open to suggestions but knowing the highlands as I do I think the NC 500 would be a bit more picturesque. I am being deadly serious by the way. Well up for a road trip.
