Hey all, I'm upgrading to a 5950x/3090 build from a 8700k/1080 laptop build (had to go laptop for a bit to make space for my daughter. Haha!), so I know generally this will blow my current system out of the water. But I was wondering, as I don't see these options when looking at the PC...

My touchpad seems to work for a couple of seconds, then freeze for 5 seconds, then work again. It keeps doing this over and over. The same kind of thing happens with my keyboard. I can be typing, then it'll freeze typing, then catch up a couple of seconds later. I've done virus etc scans...

hey, so after getting some faster but incompatible ram recently for my Octane IV / P755TM1 I changed it out for 64gb mid speed ram as recommended by PCS upgrade options. However, where are the other set of Ram slots in the Octane IV? I've seen other clevo manuals for other chassis showing where...

Hey all, So on my Octane IV, I had it set up fine using the 'CPU Memory OC' that comes with the Clevo Control Center to undervolt the CPU by -104mV. However, I had a couple of other issues with my computer and decided to do a full 'reset' (the option that removes all programs and files from the...

Hey, so I've had this laptop for roughly 2 years, maybe a little bit longer, and I don't know why but I'm only just wanting to look at experimenting with the soundblaster connect app.. However, I can't seem to get it to do any, as in any settings I change doesn't seem to change the sound at...

Hey, My laptop messed up a bit, so I went back and downloaded the hotkey/control center zip from PCS downloads section and re-installed it (the version on the PCS download section is Control Center AP Version: 5.0001.1.62). However, for some reason the CPU OC app from it doesn't open, so I went...

I've got an Octane IV 17" laptop which I'm looking to upgrade a little. I'm comfortable with fitting parts etc, but I do get confused with compatibility. I took a look at the 'upgrade' options in my PCS account, but it only shows a few m.2 options such as the 'Intel 660p 2TB M.2' and '1TB...

I've got an Octane IV with i7 8700k & GTX 1080, but I'm trying to enable the i7 8700k graphics so I can take advantage of the Adobe accelerated encoding. However I can't find the settings in the BIOS and the BIOS in general seems really simple compared to what I'm used to. Any help on how to...

Hi all, just looking for some help on this. Whenever I turn my laptop on and connect it to my wifi network the whole wifi then goes down and I can no longer connect to it on any device. It requires a reboot of the router to bring it back. Any idea what's causing this?

Hi all, I've read bits and bobs of people having overheating issues with Octane IV & the 8700k & 1080GTX combo and since I've recently picked up this laptop, I'm looking for a simple way of testing the temps of both the CPU & GPU without having to play hours of games etc. I got the laptop as...

Hey, is it possible to get PC Specialist Insurance after I've purchased? I skipped it during ordering but was thinking it might be easier than looking elswhere to get it.

Hi guys, the cable from the PSU to the laptop is quite short on my Octane IV, is there an option for a longer version anywhere? And in general where can I purchase spare power supplies & batteries from? Also can you power this laptop from a car cigarette port thingy?

Love the laptop, just trying to find a good bag/case for it that'll fit both the laptop & the mammoth PSU block & lead. Any recommendations?
