Quick update. After 1 phone call I was asked to send the card back and a replacement gainward phoenix gs turned up yesterday (I said I didn't mind a different model) Super fast service and Pcspecialist deserve some positivity here. So far so good with the new card, no issues yet.

Thanks for all the responses, I'm going to call PCS today.

Hello, I'm hoping for a bit of help here. I recently bought THIS PC from Currys, which came with a Zotac 3080 trinity card. Unfortunately due to having a Currys voucher from work I couldn't buy direct from here. A couple of days after it arrived I loaded some games up and noticed the GPU fans...

Hi Guys, Has anyone got a link for the latest driver (windows 8) please? I downloaded Wireless_15.6.1_De64 from the clevo website but for some reason the EXE wont run, just a loading circle thing then closes. Wireless performance with a BT HH3 is sketchy at best presently with all other...

USB 3.0 on optimus IV (windows 8) Hi Guys, Is anyone getting USB 3.0 speeds from the 3.0 externals now? My games PC with MSI mobo just had a BIOS update, along with windows update ETC which one of them seemed to fix the problem and instantly got 100mb/s transfer speed from my external. My...

This is mainly aimed at the Admin but welcome any factual input. Is there any word from clevo regarding updated drivers for the W370ET chassis please? Most of the 7 stuff works OK but would of course be better with specific 8 drivers when released. Cheers.

Laptop will be back to PCS today. Keeping a record here of what to expect: 1/ Laptop was shipped with a defective screen - getting replaced. (the vertical line halfway across the screen looks far worse on a red or black backlight backgorund after further inspection) 2/ Either GPU heatsink...

Hi Kreeeee, Jumped back to this thread as i sort of hijacked the other guys. Quick 10 minute play on guild wars came up with this: I'm guessing the CPU is fine, as it sat at 50 as we speak idle, but the GFX chip is still high. The core clock does jump to 950mhz though if that is relevant ...

Optimus IV 660m temps and RMA experience Hi Guys, Just got my laptop and am wondering what sort of temps your GPU hits playing games. I just had a quick try with borderlands and it reached a max of 94 degrees and was always well above 80. Is that normal? Also the GPU fan under load is pretty...

Just had it delivered and there is a horizontal line going all the way through the screen, like the screen has been folded will this need to go back? Oh, and the laptop cooler didn't turn up either...LOL

I'd like to cancel my order please if this is any indication of what is to come with PCS customer service. Laptop ordered on the 22nd of August and still in pre-production. Various promises of everything now being in stock and delivery this week and my order still stays at pre-production. It is...

I read that some clevo BIOS, inclusive of the optimus 4 disables the CPU boost on the CPU whilst the GPU is active, firstly can anyone confirm this and is there a workaround if so?

Hi Guys, I have just ordered a 17.3 optimus 3 laptop which i ordered with a glossy screen. I have just had an email saying there are none in stock and will be replaced with a matte one, but not the AOU screen that is available in the configure laptop options. My question being am i right in...
