Ah damn that's really unfortunate to hear :( I wanted as minimal as possible. Guess maybe this time the Recoil isn't the right path...

I wasn't planning on buying this - is it completely necessary?

Some I'm again deciding about upgrading to a new Recoil 17". I currently have one from a few years ago with a 2070. I've really liked the laptop but it's had a lot of heat issues over the years, despite doing some tinkering and adding new cooling paste. Unfortunately I'm now unable to run a lot...

I assume motherboard would be a big problem? I'm just using the standard command center and checking temps while gaming. Should I download a better one?

Maybe half a year ago. This started so I repasted but the problem continued. I might add that sometimes it doesn't switch off and rather just goes to black screen. In that time it's almost like the computer is still running the game but all I see is a black screen.

Everything is updated just not windows 11.

For months my laptop has been crashing when gaming. It only happens when running a game and does not matter if it's new or old. I'm currently playing Far Cry Primal and it crashes every hour or so. Basically it's as though i've held the power button and switched it off. Sometimes I'm lucky and I...

Will do thanks :) I just realised I actually have Artic MX-2 paste lying around. Do you recommend that?

You're amazing thank you!

6 Months.... I just tried undervolting it by -0.135 and it is still throttling and the same temperature. I'm kind of scared of repasting as so many guides warn a wrong repaste will mess up my laptop.

I've been monitoring temps over the last few days. My CPU seems to be the main issue. I get temps of 90-100 during VR, but no when gaming normally (Witcher Wild Hunt and Heavy Rain) my temps are also 90-100... I'm assuming I'm screwed and should contact Pcspecialist?

I haven't, I've just been using the pre-installed program from Pcspeciliast. What ideal temp for GPU?

Yes...seems high right?

GPU is between 85-90 and CPU is about 90. I guess to high?

So I was playing my VR headset and in the middle of the game my laptop just switched off, no warning no nothing. Obviously VR puts the laptop under a lot of stress, but I did check with others and with this laptop and I have no problem running VR. I've also got a cooling pad and aircon in my...

Not that long...about half a year. I definitely am thinking about a cooling pad. Do they dramatically decrease temps?

120hz would be great! But worried my computer won't quite handle that. I'm also a little worried about temps as my cpu sits around 90 when gaming and gpu around 85-90... it is summer so dunno if that is a reason?

Yeh I had a feeling i'd be playing Half Life Alyx on low settings. Happy to hear some smaller games run well!

Has anyone tried VR with any laptops here? I have a 2070rtx and am very tempted by the Valve Index.I heard I probably won't be able to play games on 120hz. Wanted to check if anyone here has tried it and what their thoughts are.

Ah ok :/ that's annoying. Thanks for the warning though!
