    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 17.3" IONICO 3070ti 16GB

    This is by far the noisiest laptop that I have ever purchased. It's not so much the noise....More the fact that my laptop seems to go full spaz when watching youtube vids, and yet will maintain a respectful demeanour when playing Crysis. Like..? And I have tried pretty much everything I can...

    Cheers for the advice mate. I do have a cooling pad but it only seems to reduce idle temps by a couple of degrees or so.

    The advisor did the Prime 95 test remotely when I was on the phone, and got another colleague to check the temps. Seems that the CPU is designed to work to quite hot temperatures,. I've adjusted my fan curve to get them to kick in earlier and stronger and that seems to be keep the fan noise a...

    Full specs are on the screen shots mate. I spoke on the phone with an advisor about the heat and fans, but he assured me it was normal. I've run HWMonitor, and it all seems to be fine....A few cores constantly reach 100 degrees and briefly throttle, but I guess that's to be expected with such a...

    Here are results from a UserBenchmark test. Not sure why it says the CPU is throttling at 88%. I already have it set to 100% in the processor power management settings. I've run the benchmark a few times and the results tend to be similar, sometimes getting UFO status on the Desktop score. When...

    Really great laptop. The 1440p screen is super sharp and bright and the HDR is impressive. Colours really pop and the viewing angle is pretty decent. Games look and feel smooth with the frame rate unlocked and the 240Hz refresh being put to use. There is minimal screen bleeding in the bottom...

    OK. Makes sense. Before posting here, I'd started to isolate the problem to the Power Brick.....Just weird that as soon as it's plugged in everything crashes. It does get very hot to the touch. I see that PC specialist quotes £77 when configuring, but cheapest I can find online is around £125...

    OK....Laptop plugged in.....Took screen shot when the fans went full Ilkley Moor about 3 seconds before it crashed again. It was working fine unplugged but stuck at 30fps

    It did what happens with other benchmarks.....Black screen after about 5 seconds and restarted PC. Fans going mental. I can try it unplugged? When the laptop is plugged into the PSU it seems to just crash constantly
