    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Every game crashes!

    Have done clean install and still crashes with same error. Done ram memory test and that's fine too. I've even swapped the charger for another one and still crashes. It might be an issue with DrectX but would have thought a clean install would fix it. Also forza 4 seems to play fine without...

    I'm pretty certain it's my GPU that's had it. Guessing there's no where to get a replacement GPU?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Every game crashes!

    Hi, I've had my Octane 3 for about 3 years now and recently I was playing CyberPunk 2077 and it crashed. Restarted game and no more than 10 mins later it crashes again. No warning, no errors just freezes for a few seconds then closes to desktop. Thought this was just CyberPunk 2077 being buggy...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Fans don't seem to speed up

    Yep it's set to active. I've noticed my GPU seems to be thermal throttling according to HWInfo. I've recently put new thermal paste on it just did a blob in the center on both GPU and CPU. Is it possible I messed up and it's not been applied properly? First time that I've applied thermal paste

    From Clevo's website. I've made sure it was the correct version too.

    Not changed the fan curves, don't even think it's possible to do on the Octane 3 but yeah I've got clevo control center installed and it's set to automatic.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Fans don't seem to speed up

    I've recently applied new thermal paste to my Octane 3 17 inch laptop. FPS in games are back up to what they used to be when I first got it but while monitoring temps with HWInfo it shows that the cpu and gpu thermal throttle but the fans aren't spinning much faster than they do normally while...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST GPU thermal throttling

    My model number is P775DM3-G. I made sure to install the correct version. It installs but doesn't run at start up, no system tray icon even after manually launching the program and some features are missing in the UI like I can't access the keyboard colour controls unless I like Kbcolour in the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST GPU thermal throttling

    Another thing is the control center is missing. I've tried installing latest version from clevo's website but doesn't run on startup and no system tray icon.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST GPU thermal throttling

    can't remember did cpu temps earlier on in the day. I've put new thermal paste on. Seeing pretty good fps improvements. GPU still hits 90 with MSI kombustor though.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST GPU thermal throttling

    Hi all, I have had my Octane 3 laptop since 2016. I have cleaned out the dust on a regular basis but recently noticing that it doesn't get the FPS it once used to. I've not changed the thermal paste in this time so would that be the reason it's thermal throttling? GPU temps get to 90-91c and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Octane III Weird fan behavior

    Trouble is I've never applied thermal paste before. Always had crap desktop computers until about 3-4 years ago when I got the Octane II then couple years later got this Octane III. I have taken pc's apart in the past but never built one from scratch nor had the need to reapply thermal paste so...
