I see you've got soundblaster audio. " Sound Card 2 Channel High Def. Audio + SoundBlaster™ Studio" Make sure you download the soundblaster software from the PCS page for your purchase. Login to PCS, Click 'Tech Support' then 'Downloads' Then 'Windows 11' Then download the audio drive and the...

Hi Paul, Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. It definitely has Advanced Optimus as it switches between the Intel GPU and the Nvidia dGPU on it's own. The issue I have is with some games it doesn't do it fast enough and functions such as G-Sync don't have time to enable before the game opens...

Hi there, Wondering if someone could help me. I have an Ionico laptop (I'll put the spec in a different post below) and I'm having an issue with advanced optimus and certain games. It's like the advanced optimus doesn't switch to the dGPU fast enough. For example, when running Counterstrike 2...

Thanks Arn. I've had mine over a month now and it's still there. Some electrical tape over a very small part of the grill on the bottom has reduced the noise of the whistle. It hasn't effected temperatures either. It's quite clearly an airflow issue which is quite disappointing.

I have no idea, sorry. I would ask PCS that question.

I recently purchased an Ionico and it's great apart from the below issue I've had. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/ionico-fan-airflow-vapor-cooling-chamber-whistle.94254/

Recently purchased an Ionico 16" Laptop (spec below) and the fan/vapor cooling chamber has a constant whistle. The whistle goes away when the bottom cover is removed so I think it is an airflow issue. I love the laptop but the whistle (although relatively quiet) is infuriating. It's a constant...

Purchased the 16" IONICO laptop for work and gaming. I am very pleased with the laptop so far, no issues. Would recommend it to anyone that wants a thin but powerful laptop! Does everything I need.

Thanks for the reply SpyderTracks and the video. Good to know about the Liquid Metal too, thanks.

Looking at the 16" Ionico Laptop, probably with RTX 4060 I notice it has 'Vapor Chamber Cooling' which is described as "Max Out Performance: A vapor chamber cooling laptop is a laptop that uses a unique PC cooling system to keep its components cool and prevent overheating. Unlike traditional...

That was my view. The capacity reduction and consequently the amount of time it can go between charges has been massively different. Same usage, same on charge amount per day, laptop is 'cleaned' internally every 3-4 months.

Thanks both for your responses. I understand they are classed as consumable and I wasn't going to go after a refund/replacement via PCS for this one. The battery life is so poor that I was considering buying another one from PCS but wouldn't want to replace it with a battery equally as bad. I...

Was bought from PC specialist via 'My Spare parts' section on my account. So I would hope it was like for like.

Had a Recoil III GTX since June 2019. Battery was fine until it started bulging and was pushing the touchpad up. Old battery life was fine and windows battery report only listed a drop of capacity from 46,740 mWh to 45,600 mWh however I decided to replace it due to the bulging. New battery...
