    My CPU is down to -200mv and kryonaut is working its magic...however simulated load testing would fare worse of course not 50c probably mid 50s...ill look for certain! At bus stop one of like...four.

    Doom 2016 is equally challenging for CPUs as synthetic test or even more. In Time Spy my CPU (uv 140) hits 63C, but after 1 hour Doom session hits 75C. I must try go lower with uv.

    Well longer tests will usually reach higher temps than a short run and the GPU will throw out some heat into the chassis too.

    Have you run it before? My desktop runs it at 4k, I've never seen weapon textures that good looking. That and the reflections.

    Well I'll be cheating a bit as I will be using DSR on my 1080p internal display but it runs great on my 1440p swift even with a single card in vulkan.

    To be fair it ain't that hard with conductive paste. Normal paste is pretty safe though.

    Is this the CPU usage issue people are talking about when connecting to an external monitor? I'm running the rs-g with a 6820 and finally got it connected to an external monitor and running only off of the dgpu. With just a browser running one of my CPUs under "utilization" is up around 90%.

    On lidded die sure enough. I've seem sooo many botched AS5 jobs on chips that have things besides die on the top that get fried (poor things) and AS5 is the sheeples golden standard.

    So it's technically the 2nd slot (1st is wifi card). I don't know if they'll be labeled 2nd and 3rd or anything, you may just have to check in bios.

    Hey, does anyone have the 8153 with the 6820HK? If so what kind of overclocks are you getting and what are temps like? Thanks

    4ghz seems easily attainable without over volting. In fact someone even said they got 4ghz and undervolted. No clue on temps though sorry.

    Also found this interesting. Posted in a thread testing different thermal paste.

    Liquid Metals:
    Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut - 73 W/mk
    Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra - 38.4 W/mk
    Coollaboratory Liquid Pro - 32.6 W/mk

    Traditional Paste:
    Gelid GC Extreme: 8.5 W/mk
    Grizzly Kyronaut: 12.5 W/mk
    ICD: 4.5 W/mk

    The conductonaut is crazy good. If I ever go the liquidmetal route I will be trying it for sure. Heard very good things in user reviews here too. Traditional pastes seems kryonaut and gelid are top 2 which seems to reflect what I've been hearing.

    I'll probably repaste with conductonaut when I head home for Thanksgiving break. Want to be able to take my time and have all the necessary stuff to do it right.

    On same thread the difference between the grizzly and gelid pastes was reportedly very small though I think more data is needed.

    I'm hoping the gelid will be close to optimal and it'll be fun to compare temps. But I also figure my pasting skillz will improve enough to risk a metal paste job if I need those extra C's.

    Ive repasted my p650-rp6 yesterday with gelid gc extreme. I run a i7-6700hq and a gtx 1060. If you want to run me a benchmark or something just let me know. I do wanna say i have the sepparate cooling solutions(no shared heatpipe) so that could change some variables.

    Running time spy yesterday got my cores max 73/70/69/67 with cpu package 73
    gpu was 67 max

    Firestrike did cores max 65/64/62/60 with package max 66
    gpu was 67 also

    Prime torture test with max heat got my temps to core max: 80/78/78/73 with package max 80

    No undervolt or overclock.

    Here is a link to my repaste album. http://imgur.com/a/l4A01
    Will make a guide later on how i did it for those interested. It was easier than i thought it would be as long as you are carefull and take your time.

    Hi, everyone. I have this issue when Windows wakes up from sleep. Windows will show the spinning circle after i keyed in the passcode and is unable to log in. I have to reboot the computer before i can log in again. This happens after i updated the CCC to version 5.0001.0.81. Any of you guys have this same issue?

    Was initially gonna go for a 4k screen but I'm docked half the time so for an extra 25 I could get the 6820HK, worth it? $125 upgrade for 0.1Ghz higher base clock, but unlocked, but then higher thermals. Trying to justify this

    On the gpu or cpu (or both?) you mean? I wasnt really happy with the amount on the gpu bit too much yea, but the stuff suddenly flew out and i didnt wanna clean up again. Cpu i did again stuff came out a bit too much. Gonna warm it up next time so i can push this stuff out a bit more gradually/

    I can easily imagine having trouble controlling the paste - so I'm also staying away from the fancy conducting stuff. I'm also not used to the idea of pasting directly onto the die. Should be interesting...

    Coming from an 8653 to an 8153 I am pretty happy with the temps and noise. I feel the 1070 is giving me better temps than the 980M did and the cpu is the same. What is nice is that if you are doing something that is just cpu or just gpu intensive, your temps are lower because of the shared heatpipe and extra fan being used. Even during both cpu and gpu intensive games, I see that this sharing of pipes/fans makes both the cpu and gpu almost the same temps, maybe high 70s or low 80s with ICD from factory, which is more than fine. Idle I think under 50C. The noise is not an obnoxious one, just the whoosh, but the air coming out is very hot, like a hair dryer. Guess I will appreciate that soon in the winter, close my door and have a free space heater. The only thing I am not happy about is the screen has far more light bleed than previous model which kinda sucks, but that is life. 1080p screen by the way.

    Most thermal pastes come in syringes and you can put the tip back into the paste and suck some of it back up if you put too much on the die

    Sorry if this has been answered already, but does anyone know if the 15" will be getting a 120hz option any time soon? Really sucks, as it may push me to Alienware for my new machine despite how much more expensive it is. Alienware's new machines come out on the 30th apparently, so I was wondering if any new options will come out for the Sagers by then.

    I don't think it's coming very soon. But from what I've heard. It's quite simple to replace the display on clevos if you ever want to upgrade.

    I'm wondering if anyone else had any shipping issues with LPC in the past...

    I've been eagerly tracking my package and last I checked yesterday, it was guaranteed to be delivered tomorrow 9/19 Monday here in Honolulu, HI. Lo and behold, I just checked earlier today only to find it made here to Hawaii but somehow ended up on a plane for Botany, Australia a few hours later...... o_O?? I know LPC is not directly at fault for it, but I'm curious to know if anyone else had any issues like that.

    I called UPS and they were dumbfounded as well... only advice they could give me was to check again tomorrow and call again. In the meantime, they will follow up on it.

    I've waited 3 weeks already so I can wait another day or two... I'm just worried about the condition of the box and laptop after making a journey like that. Sigh.. I'm hoping it's just a glitch =/

    I tried using mshybrid, and it does do better, but there is still some ACPI.sys action (when there really shouldn't be any) and there's also wdf01000.sys taking up a fair amount of DPC latency. In VR (HTC Vive) it behaves better, but I'm still hitching and dropping frames when I shouldn't be.

    i believe you have to do that if you switch within the controlcentre app. If you do it through the BIOIS then a restart should not be necessary

    I upgraded to the 6820HK due to lack of availability of 6700HQ, so that my unit would arrive soon but there's no update on my order at HIDEvolution.

    All I do is stare at my configured system spec every day

    We'll just have to see, but probably not real soon. I'm not in a hurry, so I'm waiting on 120hz option whether it be this year or next year. However, the display on p670 models come with 75hz displays which can be overclocked to 100hz easily. I think 60hz for p650 (15.6") models and not sure about overclocking.

    I could just get a p670rp right now, but 120 is much a nicer number than 100 when it comes to sweet spots like 24, 30, and 60. 100 is a bit of a weird number to settle on as well as 75, not many other choices below either. Pascal have definitely improved laptop performance to another level and all it needs now is easy accessibility of higher refresh rate screens to accommodate the performance improvement.
