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 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

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...

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...

I noticed a small issue with my otherwise very good vortex 4: Mouse stutter. The mouse cursor tends to pause occasionally for about a half a second, this every 30-60 seconds or so. This ONLY happens with the AC adapter plugged in. Also it happens on all usb ports with all usb mice I own. The...

Hi, this is a minor thing really, otherwise I'm really happy with my vortex4. I have a ssd and booting time is 9 seconds (really happy with it). However when shutting down it takes roughly 20 seconds each time. This with hybernate off and pagingfile set at 1gb static and windows7 64bit. Any...

Hi, I recenty purchased a highend vortex4 (i4800 780m 16gb etc). i'm planning to purchase a twin laptop but i came across a new model today, the skyfire3 which seems builkier but somewhat nicer. In terms of cooling/heating which one you would recommend? and is the skyfire ac adapter smaller...

the vortex4 i received with windows7 doesn't come with win7 drivers. I was looking for up to date windows7 drivers but on the clevo website the available drivers are for windows8 only. Are they supposed to be used with windows7? L

Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing a top of the line 17.3" Vortex IV and have a few questions. I'll be using it mainly for highend 3D computer graphics work (maya houdini nuke), will need 32Gb ram for working and rendering and the 780 nvidia. 1) Regarding the display, what are the differences...

ok here's a revised version, still not sure if I really need a custom soundcard in conjunction with just using headphones. I heard good things about the radeon 6950 and perhaps 600W PSU would be enough? Lastly I was hoping it was possible to use a much smaller custom case such as this...

Hello, with a budget around £1000 I came up with the following specs. I need quad cores and fast CPU, fast GPU (no need for more than 1Gb, faster the better) and fast access HD for my crazy 120Gb flight simulator sceneries. I just need to run flight simulators such as x-plane (opengl) and dcs...

Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing a mid-high end 15" gaming laptop as gaming machine for my flight sim games. I'm going to plug it to my flight sim gear and use it as main pc when simming and then just use it as browsing laptop when on the sofa. I laid eyes on the top of the spec vortex...
