Payment went through.. On to the next step

 

@Phoenix I see you post all over the place helping others, mind helping me out when I get it???

 

Only for the EVOC Gaming Team Members

Tag me when you get your machine

 

Order has been shipped and will be here by the end of the week!!

@Phoenix what benchmark tools would you recommend that won't put unnecessary strain on my GPU/CPU?

 

3DMark11
3DMark
Passmark Performance Test (not free)
Cinebench
Unigine Valley
Unigine Heaven
CrystalDiskMark (for benchmarking your SSD)

These are good benchmarks that won't fry your taptop.

Never EVER run Furmark unless you want to turn your GPU into this:

 

How true... for years I have been encouraging ones NOT to use Furmark! We need to talk this up more!

 

People just don't listen man. With the myriad of available benchmark tools, some still insist on using this. A simple Google search about Furmark frying GPUs is enough to see the harms it does as it creates a heavy load that doesn't ever represent a real world usage scenario and tortures the GPU

 

You forgot one of the best for processor... wPRIME v1.5

 

Got it yesterday, been messing with it ever since. Undervolted and haven't seen it go above 80 yet. Beautiful laptop, packaged well, and haven't had an issue yet.

But 1 issue, every time I start my laptop, I get an error message saying "System needs to be restarted again for Control Center Application". @Phoenix or anyone, can somebody tell me why I see this message all the time? It's also from a misspelled box titled "Informaiton".......

 

Till the time large tech youtubers like Linus Tech Tips dont stop doing it, people wont listen.

 

The initial versions of the Clevo Control Center have been very buggy.

Try to download and run the Obisidian Tool to see if it can find any updates to the Clevo Control Center for you then install it and reboot.

 

Ok I'll try it. Also, is there a reason why my wireless connection is horrible? My old latop (ASUS ROG 750J) is sitting right next to me and has a super strong connection. This intel card is constantly low and sometimes even drops.....

 

make sure you update to the latest drivers:

Intel WLAN Driver v19.60.0 / BT v19.60.0

 

I have 19.60.0.7 driver installed, I believe it is the most up to date one there is. Any other ideas? Makes no sense why the connection is so weak right next to the router.
