If you did not do a fresh install of windows when you received your laptop then I would strongly advised you to go ahead and reinstall the OS. The windows that come with the laptop are installed for testing purposes and can be buggy

Repasting the Nova is a fairly straight forward process. After you remove the screws you will need to slide(not pull) the back cover. Ryzen CPU's do not lock in the CPU socket like Intel CPUS do. It is a known issue with AMD CPU's and it is possible to pull the CPU out of the socket when pulling...

That is true, a hot CPU can influence GPU temps as well as it is a shared heat sink, I did not think about that. I have never reached 80C even when I was in a hot room with the windows shut playing demanding titles. Out of personal preference I try to keep the GPU under 80C but 80 is still not a...

Those GPU temperatures are definitely not ok. You shouldn't even be reaching 80 degrees with games unless you have crazy high ambient temperatures or restricted airflow. If I were you the first thing I would do would be to repaste. It is very likely that something went wrong when repasting the...

I think I might have a solution for you. These drivers are OEM and they are a bit trickier to get to work. Do you have the driver DVD that was provided with the laptop? In that there should be a PreinstallKit folder in the options folder. If you follow the instructions on the options folder then...

Have you checked your thermal pads? Are all of them there/making good contact ? There isn't much info on what thickness you need to use ,but I took measurements of my pads last time I opened my laptop and I can find the pictures for you if you like. Although not professional measurements they...

Thats weird! What temperatures are you seeing during full load and which CPU are you running?

Nova has the non Max-Q version of the 2070. Just to clarify it is still the mobile version of the 2070, which is about 15-20% slower than the desktop 2070

Great Review, Thanks for sharing your experience! You can try experimenting with manual mode in Ryzen master and manual fan mode in CCC to counteract the loud fan noise and high heat during continuous load. It might be less effective with the 3900 than it is with my 3600(yours is a completely...

Looks good, Instead of one 16gb stick I would go for 2x8gb sticks as dual channel memory is much better than single channel memory. I would probably go for the Artic mx thermal paste instead of the standard one, that will help with your thermals. Apart from that your build looks solid, I am not...

Eurocom doesnt seem to have the NH55 models on their website. I checked alibaba and ebay and I have only been able to find replacement keyboards

I have read about other users benefiting hugely from this but then there is the danger of accidentaly shorting something by running it without a bottom panel. Panel modding sounds like a good idea, do you have any idea on where we can get spare parts for the Nova?

Hello, I assume you had a look at your GPU/CPU temperatures? Its quite unlikely that this is the issue but its worth checking out as I have seen loose heatsinks/plastic stickers not removed from heatsinks etc.. a few times on this forum. Sounds more likely like a hardware/driver corruption...

Yes indeed, temperature spikes up to the middle 70 while idle/light use is actually quite common with the Nova, especially when running in performance mode as the boost behavior is quite aggressive :) It happens on my Nova as well. Also,next time it happens take note of the time and check...

Just a quick update. I did another repaste yesterday, I used Phobya nanogrease for the CPU and some Kryonaut I had laying around for the GPU. Temperatures while using default settings seem to be surprisingly good now. I have CCC set to performance mode with a manual fan-curve to prevent the...

I think probably the first thing to do would be to install a fresh copy of windows. I have heard of a lot of people(myself included) having odd issues because of using the windows installation the laptop came with instead of doing a fresh one. Also this will give you the opportunity to install...

There is another megathread on notebook review with a lot of mentions of the crucial memories. Maybe you will be able to find more info there about your situation? I can PM the link

PCS currently don't really provide you with any info on RAM compatibility. There is a reddit thread by another reseller in which they list all the 3200MHZ sticks that will work with this chassis out of the box. I can pm you a link if you like. Dual channel will work just fine but NH series...

Hey guys, what I mentioned earlier in the post is actually true. A user in another forum mentioned that unistalling FnKey stops the interference between CCC and Ryzen Master. You can still keep the fan speed & Led app and they work just fine. I have been trying it for a day now and its been...

I got the exact error a while ago while playing Overwatch. I think I updated my drivers since then and I havent had that BSOD for a couple of weeks now. Do you have automatic driver installation turned on? Just for context I have exaucly the same laptop Nova with 3600 & RTX 2070
