*** OFFICIAL AORUS X5 V6 OWNERS LOUNGE ***

Straight answer.

Ask the damn manufacturer.

You get it now?

And thank you @MiSJAH @hmscott for the answers -- I just would've preferred your most recent answer first

 

If I wanted to contact support I would've, instead I preferred to ask experienced owners of the product who have dealt with this for years -- my bad!

 

We've been saying the same thing all along, at least I have, it's just easier to say it simpler without any detailed background and if you follow our suggestion, you'll get all the background you need on your own from your vendors, over time.

Even if we tell you in minute details of all the experiences we have, it won't make the kind of sense it needs to make until you experience some or all of it on your own.

The words rarely do the experiences justice.

 

I would have preferred you read my first answer.

See, we can give you all the details you need, but you are ignoring the experience you seek because you aren't getting the answer you want.

Classic.

Always follow your first instinct. In this case you were correct even before you reached out for the confirmation you don't want.

Contact the vendor for specific confirmation; what are the rules of self support on your laptop, what can you change on your own without voiding the warranty. And, what is the meaning of this silly Void Warranty sticker covering the disassembly screw holes?

We've told you what they will likely say, but for legal reasons and to support your own potential RMA case later you need to ask for and get confirmation specifically between you and your vendor, nothing we say is binding in the same way.

We can't legally give you permission to break the warranty void sticker and open your laptop.

 

I'll just let you know that I got a straight answer from tech support saying that this will legally void warranty. Basically they are not legally forced to repair your laptop after a repaste but still will most of the time as reported by multiple users in various threads. It's a trust relationship. Nothing legally binding.

If they told you it voids the warranty, then they haven't told you it's ok to do it, they've told you the opposite in fact.

So, I wouldn't do it.

If they get your laptop and it's been re-pasted and there's a really big cost repair they'd be responsible for - no fault of your re-paste - they could justify refusing to fix it, just to save the $.

Did they say you can open it up to upgrade memory and storage?

Was it just the re-paste that voided the warranty?

 

I previously got the info that adding the rear ram and swap disks was ok. I'll try to get them to do a repaste as I'm going to return the x5 anyway for keyboard issues. But I got two years and will wait a little longer for the rma.

The message I got was that I couldn't remove the sticker on the screw without voiding the warranty for basically everything but the mechanical stuff and the screen.

But yes, some official statement as to the repaste would be cool as you can basically blame anything on "user induced damage" due to a repaste (wording as used in the warranty terms) especially when using conductive paste.

Looking for advice on battery saving measures: will be away from the socket and want to watch a movie or two. Underclock cpu and gpu, how? Any other suggestion?

Thanks.

I underclocked cpu to 2ghz with max undervolt you can reach. Gpu underclocked didn't change anything. Also be sure to use the silence profile as it limits the total power consumption. Otherwise just tweak the power plan settings. Won't last two movies though...

Does anyone know how whether we can flash vBIOS of other GPUs or other 1070s safely onto ours?

 

I Can't access my Aorus Fusion... Can't use my Macros, and got White LED only. How can I Fix it? Everytime I install Firmware (1.1.2 , 1.1.4 , 1.1.8) it says ''Connect AP Fail''. Help me please... Thanks Before.

 

Are you thinking of flashing a desktop 1070 bios on to your card?

 

I wish we can find some more tweaks
I am loving it.

For your information, last time i have OC my CPU to 4.0 ghz, it has drained my battery so much <89%, and i couldn't reload it until I removed completely the battery and plugged it back.
An OC at 3.9 doesn't creat any issue at all... weird...

Should i change my battery charger ?

 

I have been looking around and the only option seems to be to short the current measurement shunt to unlock the full 1070 power. But that's everything but safe. On the other hand command and control can regulate power via high level interface to limit power for silence mode. Maybe there is a way to reverse engineer to increase max power.

Any engineers who can help us with this problem?

 

yes
i was thinking about that only

 

If you can find someone with an AORUS desktop 1070 and get a GPU-Z dump of the bios, and we can find a way to flash it on to my notebook I'm happy to give it a try.

 

I don't have know anyone who has a Aorus GTX 1070
Do you know anyone from the Aorus forums who has a 1070?

 

Seems to be the most (and only?) active aorus lounge.
V6 owners, how would you say the machine fares a year on? Compared to v7?
Also, if anyone had experience with/owned a P650 Clevo (or a derivative), would be very interested to see a comparison between the X5 and it, as these appear to be the best (and only reasonable ) options for a portable 1070+HK+120hz
(On a related note, why are there so few laptops like that? It's 2017, where is all the choice)

UPD: since the V5 is EOL I can't find the 120hz version in stock anywhere. Dammit.
Anyone knows if there are 120hz panels to swap in out there?

 

Ok, loos like France has some V6 left, probably because of the AZERTY keyboard there. The price is pretty much the same as for a P650 with a 7700 and less RAM. Tempting.
Before I decide, could anyone say if the issues with the Killer cards being slow are fixed?

 

nope but intel replacement isn't that expensive

Huh, and I thought it was a driver issue.
Getting a (semi)new laptop and having to replace the network adapter to get access seems backwards

 

tbh I don't know where the bad connection came from but changing the card did the trick. Aorus is a pretty "beta/enthusiast" brand. Amazing specs and performance but definitely missing the final polish imo. Lots of tweaking potential though.

Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

 

Well, the issue with wifi just seems like poor QA. They could've replaced the card at the factory in the later models (isn't V7 using Killer as well), if the issue is because of that

 

I removed the killer drivers and am using the generic windows drivers with no issues. Killer need to fix the issue.

Anyone notice this with their laptops?
When you unloadSM and run the GPU on default settings, GPUZ shows that the card is hitting its power limits. But when you apply any of your own oc, then the performance cap is the VRel?
Also, the VDDC sometimes goes up to 1.063 V but otherwise is at 1.042 V or lower
Anyone else facing this?

 

I found a vBIOS repository which you can use.
Also, I found this forum post of a program which is essentially changes the TDP of your card.

P.S. Anyone manage to unlock the bios yet?

 

Nice guys ! Close to unlock our 1070 ??? !!!

 

Keep it up guys. I'm looking forward to my 1070 performing the way it should without regretting buying this laptop.

 

Has anyone tried charging a v7 via thunderbolt? 50W should be sufficient for office tasks

Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

 

Nope.

But I think some people use different charger here...to boost the CPU

 

Using a larger than specificed power supply to feed a laptop won't usually make any more power available to the laptop - CPU or GPU - but it will reduce the load on the Power Supply.

So if your laptop came with a 230w PSU and you plug in a 330w PSU, you have more "headroom" for safety when running 24/7 compute/CUDA jobs on your laptop.

The laptop firmware will likely limit the power drawn from AC to a level that fits the original PSU capability.

 

I've been looking at getting a chip programmer to put the 1070 desktop bios on my X5. After looking at those that have successfully installed a desktop gpu bios I don't think it's worth it. GPU scores are not different enough to the standard bios.

Any advice/suggestions/knowledge anyone wants to share?

 

Thanks for the feedbacks.

I can't find the place where I read that an other power supply can stabilize the cpu oc clock.
I can't personally go above 4.1...

 

well the charger that came with mine was only 200watt and i think it gets there pretty quick. even a 230 for me would be better headroom haha

 

So you consider it affects the performance ?

 

Some users have reported battery drain while running prolonged combined benchmarks but that's a pretty isolated case. As for performance increase I guess it all comes down to finding the switch to unlock power intake. Either via a custom Bios, some reverse engineering of command&control or simply by changing the input current shunt resistor. Am going to try that last one out soon.

At 4.1 I got battery drain...that's why I go for 3.9.
230watts from a Dell charger is good enough to avoid this ?

 

Ive also had the random battery drain. And i know we are limited with how far we can push the gpu but if i have an decent overclock on both then hit a voltage limit quick and either everything downclocks or the systems reboots on its own.

the gpu is especially sensitive and will just downclock and stay there.

Ive only seen it once where my 1070 actually ran at a higher voltage and which boosted performance considerably and was stable. it consumed 136 watts when it normally sits around 70.

 

Does anyone have a stock Aorus X5 V6 with the 3K Panel, without any software shenanigans or reinstall of windows?

If so, could you send me the ICC profiles that you have.... I have a theory that I'd like to test out.

Also, could you test watching the same HDR and non-HDR content and provide a rough comparison?

 

Heyy
How do you disconnect the battery on this?

 

Seems I ****ed up
I repasted with arctic silver 5, re0laced everytjing and now my laptop ain't starting. The aorus logo lights up and I can feel my ssd heat up but nothing on the screen.
Please help asap...leaving for college in like an hour and a half

Edit: The thermal compound is arctic silver 5. Can it be that too much pressure on the gpu is causing this?
The fans do not spool up when the logo glows....can someone help me?

Edit 2: On reviewing images I took of the gpu and cpu, there seems to be some of the original aorus gunk stuck in between the vram modules of the 1070, around the m1, m2 and m4 slots. Could this be causing a short?

 

Strange...this type of repasting doesn't ''kill'' the GPU or cpu...

Have you tried to unplugged battery then push 1 min the power button...then plug back the battery and power supply....then test

 

new bios or i am dreaming (I don't have my computer)

https://www.aorus.com/product-detail.php?p=551&t=35&t2=&t3=

 

Looks like it.

Anyone tell me the differences?

 

Did it...nothing has changed in the bios

 

Which did you use the FA04 FC04 or FB04 FD04?
