Hi, I've had my Octane 3 for about 3 years now and recently I was playing CyberPunk 2077 and it crashed. Restarted game and no more than 10 mins later it crashes again. No warning, no errors just freezes for a few seconds then closes to desktop. Thought this was just CyberPunk 2077 being buggy...

I've recently applied new thermal paste to my Octane 3 17 inch laptop. FPS in games are back up to what they used to be when I first got it but while monitoring temps with HWInfo it shows that the cpu and gpu thermal throttle but the fans aren't spinning much faster than they do normally while...

Hi all, I have had my Octane 3 laptop since 2016. I have cleaned out the dust on a regular basis but recently noticing that it doesn't get the FPS it once used to. I've not changed the thermal paste in this time so would that be the reason it's thermal throttling? GPU temps get to 90-91c and...

I have a Octane III with a GTX 1080 gpu and recently the fans have been pretty noisy even at idle. I've cleaned out the dust from the heatsinks and fans but still bit noisy compared to what it used to be like. Also one fan seems to be running slightly faster than the other but then occasionally...

Hi, I've had the Octane III for around a year now and used to be able to use Nvidia control panel to set res to 1440p at 100hz and play games at a decent frame rate of around 60-80 fps. But now fps only seems to reach 40-50 fps on average with it occasionally hitting 60 fps depending on where...

Hi, Since the windows 10 creators update I've had issues with custom resolutions. At first I'd click apply and it wouldn't change res would just go back to default one but I sorted that with a clean install of graphic drivers but now even when I change resolution no games recognize that the...

H all, My Octane III laptop seems to get pretty hot. The GTX 1080 reached a max temp of 91 degrees C whilst playing gta 5 according to MSI afterburner though only seemed to spike at 91 degrees most of the time it sits around the high 80s near enough same for CPU as well. I leave the fan...

Hi, So I've been playing around with audio drivers trying to get Dolby home theater installed as I have the Asus U7 external sound card though have given up with that though for some reason my headphone jack doesn't work. Though maybe the drivers were the cause so I reinstalled the ones from...

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...
