As mentioned above, you really should at least try troubleshooting first, just google "gaming laptop throttling" and see how prevalent it can be. The first step is always to do some controlled tests to see if your laptop is abnormal or not. 1. Do you have fans on max? 2. Is the laptop on a...

WindowsMR (Desktop Class VR) requires no external sensors (inbuilt camera tracking system), I've got two Samsung Odyssey/Odyssey+ VR headsets, one is for my sim racing rig (dedicated Desktop PC for that) and the other is use with the Defiance 9750h/2080mq laptop for portability, I use that for...

With a clean install of windows, I know 4GB isn't a lot but 'unusable' doesn't fit with my own experiences although I would always upgrade to a minimum of 8GB as suggested. What I'd just sanity check first 1. The performance profile is not set to 'quiet' or 'power saving' or similar, I don't...

I have the 16.1" Definance, Techincally I bought it when it was the 'V' however I took the 9750h upgrade, which is the same base spec as the VI. I knew it had the 80w version of the 2080 max-q but what sold me on the laptop was the various reviews of clevo p960en based laptops from various...

The CPU ramping up through relatively light use is fairly normal for a gaming laptop it's because in 'performance' power mode it maxes out the CPU power limit so the CPU can through as much processing power at even small tasks. A couple of things to note 1. use the 'fn + 3' keyboard shortcut to...

Please do post back! I've been recommending PCS quite a bit, but the real seller is just showing people the laptop and they all comment on the quality being much higher than they thought as well as how amazing the VFM is!

Just thought I'd update this after doing some checking on my Defiance V 16.1", trying to maximise battery life for surfing. Currently I get 2h50mins or so with settings 1/2/3 below, then undervolted and turbo disabled. (Windows 10) 1.CCC in Quiet Mode 2. Windows Battery Setting on the second...

What was the cpu package power average ? That can help check if your cpu is not fully going into a low power state And is your screen set to maximum brightness? I have brightness on 1/3 usually as the backlight takes a lot of power. Is the desktop refresh rate 144hz? Lowering this to 60hz might...

So, lets do controlled test 1. Set the CCC Mode to 'Power Saving' 2. Ensure the systray battery icon when right clicked is all the way to the left (only when on battery) Now, use "HWInfo" - freely downloadable from the internet to monitor the following (graph these by double clicking each one...

hsre Are a few tips, 1. Use power saving, or quiet modes in CCC (use fn + 3 as a shortcut to change modes) 2. Right click the battery systray icon and make sure it isn’t all the way to the right, either have that in the middle or on the left, the right performance option never lets the clock...

Don't worry, we are on the same page, although my experience with my Titan Xp has been that no matter what (even with the case open) it starts throttling slightly under heavy load, I'm not aware of any case that can keep it from reasonably throttling...

Absolutely , I most certainly would agree on the 'decent' side, you would not want to get a case that will lead to thermal throttling or excessive noise (for no reason) of the CPU or GPU. What I would say is the CPU and GPU thermal limits are fairly high, I think there are quite a number of...

I often find I'll compromise a little on thermals if I get the 'look' I'm after. I like most of those cases and don't think you can go amazingly wrong, as pointed out newer USB (motherboard dependant) might be useful! On top of the Meshify C, The GN review of the Carbide 275R: The H500 (well...

Definitely gets a thumbs up from me! I agree on the VFM front, I recommend the vortex to most people for this exact reason.

It does sound like a driver issue as you've mentioned. There is the DDU which is perfect for cleaning up GPU Drivers that have gone errant. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html One debugging exercise worthwhile if this occurs again is to use MSI...

Some good info above. If I was only buying the laptop primarily for gaming using the inbuilt screen, I'd have chosen the Vortex with G-Sync as well, it might be thicker (~30mm vs ~20mm for the Defiance) but obviously it does appear to have a little more cooling capacity. I'd also go with the...

No problems! RGB is a pain in the rear end.. You might be better off unplugging the controller from your motherboard and seeing if you can use the (hopefully supplied) RGB Controller in the case. My Phanteks Evolv-X case comes with ARGB strips to light everything up and comes with an RGB...

Agreed, people are just spotting the inevitability that power/thermal limits will naturally be 'explored' in any thin/light laptop of this generation with the intel/nvidia combo's.. The only way a thin/light laptop is not going to hit 'limits' is if the manufacturer nerfs performance to the...

This would just top over £1000 and be more than up for the job: The 1060 is more than man enough for the job and will be OK in a few years. However, for a tiny bit more (I know, spec creep!) That is another little bump up in performance (CPU + GPU) and would be a good purchase to last a...

Will give that a go!
