    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vyper III latest BIOS

    Hi John! As Spydertracks said you'll lose your warranty if you don't ask directly to PCS for the BIOS update. Just contact them using your personal account interface and ask for any bios update. They will send it to your email. Follow the upgrade procedure thoroughly and if you are unsure about...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vyper III latest BIOS

    Few days ago I've asked to PCS if there's any new BIOS for the Vyper III. They replied after just 12h to the initial enquiry. Two days later they've replied and sent me a new BIOS, the 1.08 to be precise. Which is nice! I wonder what are the changes in v1.08 as there's no changelog in the zip...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Considering selling my Vyper III: current value and where to sell it

    Hi everybody, I'm evaluating the option to sell my Vyper III. Don't get me wrong, I love it and it's a beast of machine. Very customisable in terms of settings, voltages, clocks. Great thermal and performance. This is just an idea and I'd like to gather some information and ideas about it. The...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Recoil IV - MUX power profiles

    Hi, I have a Vyper III, it should be the same system as your despite having a different chassis (TongFang if I'm not wrong). I am not sure if MUX is related to power profiles. MUX is the hardware capability to switch between the iGPU and dGPU at hardware level, turning electronically off one...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 review

    That should work as HDMI and USB-C are managed and hardwired to the Nvidia GPU. On my Vyper when you connect an external monitor it automatically switch to dedicated GPU option only. But I suppose Macco was lookng for that to use the dGPU even when on the internal display, which in this moment...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 review

    I didn't explain myself correctly. My bad! I was referring to Advanced Optimus which I think Ionico has this feature. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5097/~/nvidia-advanced-optimus-overview Should be linked to BIOS support so probably you won't have this option showing at...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ionico 17 review

    Keep us updated Macco, finger crossed about any update on MUX feature. I understand it's a deal breaker not having the option in the BIOS and also having it disabled on some laptops and not on others. Not very good strategy on the TongFang side to be honest. Did you check what option do you...

    I was waiting for your review mate about the new Ionico. Great job and lot of details in your analysis. I really liked it. And I didn't knew you had such good YT channel! You've got a new subscriber! ahah The new control center is totally another story compared to the old one, as the latter is...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Battery charge manager?

    Quick update about the battery issues. Turned out the battery gone faulty and no matter what I've tried to revert it to its original specs, it didn't work. So I've decided to contact PCS and explain in detail what happened, what I did and the issue itself We exchanged few emails and did some...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vyper III, touchpad drivers needed?

    Hi all, in the attempt to optimise further my Vyper III I was wondering if I need to install the touchpad drivers from my personal admin area on PCS website. Since I received the laptop I've never installed them. Honestly, the installation is quite cryptic, looking at the attached instructions...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vyper III latest BIOS

    Hi Martin, thanks for your message. I'm aware of coursethat installing a new bios without PCS consent will void the warranty and I wasn't going to do that, as I have Gold warranty I don't want to waste it. However I was curious to discover if there are any new bios updates for the Vyper and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vyper III latest BIOS

    Hi everybody, hope you're doing good. I was wondering what is the latest BIOS version for the Vyper III series. My current bios version is 1.06. Watching some videos in the past months I discovered other equivalent of Vyper III in US has two features enabled in the BIOS, in the Advanced tab...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST How's your new Ionico 17 laptop doing?

    Thank you Barlew Let me be more clear. If there's an issue with the cooling system (bad paste job, bent heatpipes, stripped screws to fix the cooling system), bad software optimisation, bad UEFI/drivers or something similar, undervolting or lowering/limiting the amount of power isn't the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST How's your new Ionico 17 laptop doing?

    If in conjunction with a full GPU load it could be possible, as they have shared heatpipes. Far from ideal of course, so abnormal, but it depends on the point of view. It's below 10C the TJMax so it would be perfectly acceptable from the thermal design standpoint. The problem isn't only the CPU...
