Overall the impression and message i get from PCS is that the i9 9900K runs at a hot temperature in comparison to i7. Due to being in a laptop there is not a sufficient method to keep it cool, therefore PCS are happy to have this running at around 95C to 100C. If this was advertised when i...

feel free to highlight this to the admins etc.

Just thought i should update you all as you have been so helpful. I wasnt really getting anywhere with PCS so decided to do as some have suggested here. I replaced the thermal paste with the grizzly kryonauts, I also did the match stick mod to apply more pressure to the heat sink. Overall...

Hi, So i just got my laptop back from the repair. here is the comments: "As previously discussed, we were able to isolate the crashing fault to the GPU. This has now been replaced and this issue has now been resolved. Additionally, we can also see that when the system is under load it can...

I agree, not overly happy with his response. However they are taking it back for diagnostics etc, so i'd hope someone will understand the problem better there. However, I imagine this is just the start... I explained everything that has been discussed here, idle temps, peak temps etc. His...

Spoke with PCS this morning. They dont think there is a heat problem, this chip is designed to run in around this temperature up to 105C apparently. They do however think there may be a hardware issue with the random game shutting down every now and then so the laptop is going back for...

I shall ring them tomorrow and also order some thermal paste, i am happy to it myself.

ok shall hold fire on doing anything else then

OK so i jsut ran the Firestrike test and got the following: Core temp max went to 100C Graphics score of 13 438 Physics score of 23 289 Combined score of 8 137 Is this what would be expected?

Hi all, apologies for the delay in response. i have been away so have not had a chance to follow through with anything. I started Wolcen today and the laptop randomly turned itself off. On reboot, i loaded up CPUID Monitor and all cores were at 99C!! this doesnt feel right. I have the laptop...

I did a very similar message, see below: I have been paying a bit more attention to the laptop I bought recently whilst playing games and reviewing the control centre 2.0. I have noticed that the laptop CPU temp idles at approx. 70C, as soon as I load a game, even something like hearthstone...

I emailed PCS at the same time as making this thread yesterday and this is the reply I got today... worrying?

Nice explanation :) thanks for your help mate.

I thought something like this might be the case, i will speak to PCS first and probably do as you have suggested. I am certain the fans are coming on as the CPU gets hot, that was the first sign to me that something may not be right due to the noise, they are running at 100% as soon as I turn a...

ok, at idle the GPU is averaging around 50C and the CPU around 65-70C Just loading CoD:MW the GPU goes to: 55C and the CPU goes to: 100C

Just Just using the control center 2 which was pre-installed on the laptop

Hi, I have recently been paying a bit more attention to my new laptop and its running temperature. I noticed at idle, not doing anything the temperature of the CPU sits at around 70C. As soon as i load a game, regardless of which I.E. Hearthstone or CoD:MW the temperature will bounce in the...

I think it’s the right one and I wouldn’t say it’s wobbly. It’s just it’s location is at the back of the laptop and it isnt a tight clip in fit like I’ve had on other laptops, so it can quite easily come out with small movement of the wire. I use it on my lap and not on a desk so there will be...

Hi, I am not sure if i am the only one having this problem. I just to receipt of a new Octane VI laptop which is amazing. I have an issue though where the power cable slips out quite easily. So when playing a game, it isnt obvious it has happened and then the computer runs slow or turns off due...
