That is too bad that a single Goldkey 8GB will cost 65$ while 8GB 2400 DDR4 Kingston cost me 43$.

 

And would you ever notice a difference if you didn't know :/ hynix is a reputable brand.

I think I can help, the delay is part of windows 10 features it's existed so that you may not move the mouse while moving your palm, I had this problem in many laptops and when I rolled back to win 7 the problem gone in all cases, try to make some changes in the mouse setting interface.

 

the other problem is that afetr installig synaptic drivers I can't find the Synaptic option anywhere

in the control panel under the tab Hardware in mouse I can see

HID-compilant mouse
Synamtic SMBus Touchpad

but no option for Synaptic

 

In Win 8 and beyond some drivers don't have separated interface, it becomes part of ordinary control panel tabs, if you want to know what driver installed you can go to device manager and see if the driver version match what you installed.

 

It's weird 'cos mine tochupad is smooth and silky.

 

Mine hyperX is build on hynix bones.

 

Except it is Hynix.. which isn't rubbish at all. Ram brands don't really matter at all...

 

You don't need to match brands or models, just that all memory be able to run at the same latencies, speed and voltage.

 

I had the same issue and was really pissed that I couldn't find a Synaptics control panel anywhere. I fixed it by going to Windows Key > Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Turn off taps (no delay, always on)

 

Amen bro

I second this. I think mine was part of the batch that shipped out with yours.

This being my first Sager/Clevo laptop, where does one go for driver updates? Is there a Clevo software program preinstalled that helps with this or do you gotta go through Sager/Clevo's website? If not, do you gotta go ala carte for each specific driver? With Dell and Lenovo it was pretty simple to find most of em all in one place.

So good and bad news.... Good news here is the latest Bios from Sager for these laptops:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/1xjehkdz90c4bml/8153BV03.7z

funny thing is... XMG updated their FTP with their BIOS (looks like the same one as this one or is it different?! I am not home to test it)

https://www.mysn.de/driver/XMG/XMG_P507_P707/BIOS/

Bad news is he said the EC he received was not for this model so no new EC file (I suggest using that XMG link I posted above and grabbing their EC if you havent already)

So to get everyone on the same page I suggest grabbing either the BIOS from Sager that I posted or the XMG link (not sure if its the same or not, someone should test it, it could be newer than what Sager just gave me) and get the EC from XMG.

 

Thanks.

The BIOS I understand but what's the EC?

 

EC= embedded controller

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_controller

it does a lot of things, like Fan control, thermal management, etc..

 

It might be the same. Will check bios signature when home

I just put this into a bootable USB drive with Rufus, and boot into it after disabling UEFI and it installs? New to this sorry

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

For both the EC and the bios you make a bootable drive in Rufus and then throw the extracted files into the drive (dont put the EC and the Bios in the same folder, make separate folders)

Disable UEFI in the bios

Then boot off the drive then navigate to where you put the files run the flash.bat command for both the EC and the bios and it should update them. (in their respected folders)

 

Also from that xmg link which ec would I use for the p650rs with 1070? The one that doesn't say "mit 1060" ?

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

correct, " mit" means "with" in german. so you grab the one that doesnt say mit.

 

Thanks man! Will give it a shot when I get back to my room.

Darn, we need a wiki for all this...

 

I've updated to 1.05.03a sucessfully, but... right now I have XMG machine

 

lol, I wonder if 1.05.03a is any different from 1.05.03 other than the XMG branding. I mean, the "a" makes it look like an update, right? IDK

 

rather "u" should make it look like an update

 

I've never repasted a notebook before (but I have installed desktop CPUs). Do I have to heat up my gelid gc? Do I spread evenly and thinly on gpu and cpu? Or pea drop it? Anything important to know before taking apart my p670 aside from the dozens of screws and removing the heatsinks?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

 

Put it into a glass of warm water. Make little x on GPU and stright line in center of CPU.

 

Gelid is soft enough that you don't have to warm it up, really.

 

Good to know.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

 

Warming it improves viscosity, so it spreads out under heatsink much easier.

 

Not sure if this is any good. But I ran a bench with heave all maxed out. Accidentally let it run in normal mode for like 15 mins before I started the actual bench.

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

Yep! I sent mine in because of this. At first I thought it was one of the drivers. But after checking them... RMA.

So I flashed the BIOS and now my boot doesn't say Sager anymore but bios is still the same version I think?

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

Which version you have before flash?

 

1.05.03 ls2 now it's just 1.05.03.

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

Not .03a?

did you flash the XMG or the Sager link I posted?

Also, did you update the EC from the XMG link?

 

Sager link for bios. Xmg for ec

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

The bios must be an unbranded stock bios from Sager then. I haven't tested it, just got back from work and I flashed the bios I was more interested in (the XMG Bios)

This is a different bios thats for sure:

OLD (Stock Sager bios that came with my machine)
https://goo.gl/photos/sgbG88W974tkif3Y9

NEW (XMG bios I posted earlier)
https://goo.gl/photos/38SNh6FgTtpcsfYu9

Notice what's different there?(other than the obvious) They are running a different VBIOS revision, now, the only thing I did not get a shot of before I flashed was the date stamp on the Sager bios, Can anyone get theirs for me?

The XMG one is dated: 07/03/16

 

whoops, double >.<

 

QUOTE="Krissppy, post: 10348101, member: 680169"]I myself used a chopstick to push through that little hole. As long as you take out all the screws on the back panel, even the ones in the middle, you're good. I too was a bit nervous having to do that but you'll hear it pop when you do. The top right of the keyboard should pop up first, then just run your fingers along the top row and pull. Be careful though, the keyboard has a couple short connections on the bottom. This youtube video explains it perfectly.

It's crazy how thin these are with the 1070s.I didn't realize it until that video.
My alienware weighs around 13 pounds , I'm not gonna know what to do with one that weighs nearly a third of that haha

I seriously hope in the 2 weeks that I have to wait, they fix the monitor issue because I was really wanting to play this on my big screen 4k.. Cause I love just closing the lid, and using my wireless gear and playing witcher 3 on my HDTV.
If there is a God... *begs*

 

Should I flash the xmg bios you think?

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

what is the VBIOS date stamp on yours currently?

I personally would, since its new and different, might have a few fixes under the hood, who knows. I am going to stay on it.

 

I will check in a few once I'm back.

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

Just read the change log for that xmg bios.

1. System BIOS 1.05.03.
2. “VT-d” item in CMOS setup.
3. Support new LG panel.
4. Solve “4K panel no display in Legacy mode” problem.

Looks like it's 1.05.03 with a few fixes on top.

How are the speakers on the P650RS?

 

I've honestly had them muted 90% of the time and the rest of the time on very low. I'll mess with them later and get back to you.

Got my P650RP-6 yesterday. Everything looks nice except the light bleed top right corner and bottom left corner which are only visible in a completely dark screen. Not noticeable unless you really look for it.
Problem i have is the fan. Even after flashing XMG EC, i didnt notice any speed ramp while Benchmark (Unigine), where my GPU temp reached up to 79 max (HWmonitor).
I want to do some proper benchmarking, can someone give me a list of softwares needed to monitor/cap FPS, OC'ing CPU and GPU, monitoring turbo/throttling? I'm kinda new to high end laptops since my MSI GT628x (2011).
Thanks guys!
