Fair point, I can only go on what I've read and what I've been read from other forums. PCS have told me that under normal conditions and when playing Assetto Corsa the temperatures are within what they expect. It's only with CP2077 they said it's a bit high but it's expected because of CP2077...

Appreciate the response. Only going off what I've read from people with a gaming laptop on various forums. Seems to be the norm to turn down the CPU by 1%-10% and there is no loss of performance. PCS said it's unlikely that the laptop needs a repaste as it's only a month old and there's no...

Just to update this. I played Cyberpunk 2077 the other day and while in a menu the CPU temps were at 95 degrees, even with a cooler, I know Cyberpunk isn't fully optimised and is a fairly intensive game. Although PCS say this is in operating temperature, I wasn't fully happy and I researched...

Thread updated as I forgot to add in the control test. The control test was the laptop on my lap in normal use and under gaming conditions.

So, I'm back again for a third time with another review, using another laptop cooling pad. This time it's the Kootek 12-17 Laptop Cooling Pad. Bought from Amazon using this link here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01469DJLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My previous...

Just following this up and to update the thread: The BSOD issue is solved, Christopher from PCS Support fixed this remotely by doing driver updates another way that I wasn't aware of. Essentially deleted all my current drivers and downloaded fresh new ones using another Nvidia and AMD utility...

In my tests, the Cooler Master could be effective with a redesign of the bottom. If the bottom was designed with the rear higher than the front or even a block underneath so the fan is lifted up then it would be far more effective than it currently is. If using this on a desk, then I would maybe...

So, I'm back again with another review, using another laptop cooling pad. This time it's the Targus 15-17 Laptop Cooling Pad. I bought it from Argos as I had a £10 voucher to use so it only cost me £18.99 instead of the £29.99 indicated here. Link is here: shorturl.at/cCER2. My previous review...

Sorry which link?

I've seen this online but a bit wary about following it. I also don't have CsEnabled in my Registry so I'd have to create that.

Yes, ordered with Windows. I had an issue with the OS randomly giving me problems so I sent the whole device back to PCS who reinstalled Windows via the BIOS. After I got it back with a few days testing, I noticed the above things missing, phoned up support and they were unable to get them back...

Yes, I have used a laptop before bud, I use them daily along with desktops when in the office as I work in the tech sector, so some offence taken even though I'm sure you didn't mean to come across that way, admittedly I've not owned a gaming laptop, let alone a custom laptop, so this in...

Ah, see I don't have that. I have this within my Control Center and then if I mouse over my battery, I have this, same as what's in my power settings really: And in control Panel, Balanced, AMD Ryzen Balanced and High Performance (the tech from PCS managed to get High Performance back -...

What options are you guys seeing on your laptops? If you don't mind me asking, this is what I see, High Performance was something the PCS Tech managed to add in for me but not sure if it makes any difference! High Performance is something I can delete but the other two I can't which is what I...

Surely, I should have more options than I see in the standard Advanced Power Settings page though? Or are you saying it's fine and I need to manage it via the slider when clicking on the battery? Sorry, I'm not quite understanding. Okay, I understand now and apologies for misunderstanding, if...

Okiedokie, thought they would have been similar, so my mistake and misunderstanding there. Yes, sure, if I go into Windows Update, this is what I see - just did the 21H2 update.

I'll give that a look after W10 21H2 update is done. Windows 10 21H2 has just popped up so I'll do that and then report back. I am expecting to see other settings such as this, taken from my work PC: Looking online, at this link in particular there's a potential fix that says to change...

Thanks for the speedy response. What do you mean admin permissions link? Sorry for the dumb question. I've checked all of my drivers in Device Manager by going into each section and then "update drivers". It says I'm on the best drivers available and Windows Update tells me it's fully up to date...

Hi, Hoping someone can help me here. I'm not sure why but I'm not seeing all power options available to me when I look at the "Change Advanced Power Settings" option in Control Panel > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings. These screenshots are what I do see: Can anyone assist? I spent...
