That's great, I'll have a look through that info. Thanks so much for your time.

Thanks for the response. There are a few numbers on the underside. There's one marked Model, which is N87OHP Is that the one you need?

I have a 17.3" Optimus VIII 1060 and I've got dead keys on the keyboard. I'm trying to get hold of a replacement keyboard but when I look in the spare parts page on PCSpecialist it always say the keyboards are out of stock. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Thanks in advance.

Excellent, thanks for your replies. Before I did anything I just wanted to make sure that it was actually a potential heat problem.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I didn't even know that was a thing. I've owned computers since the days of 386's and I've never had one serviced.

I should've pointed out - the temperatures are in centigrade.

My laptop has started regularly powering itself off. It can happen any time, but it's usually when the machine is doing something taxing eg playing a game. I'm also seeing a lot of BSODs. The graph below shows the temperature over all cores over a period when it powered itself off twice (you can...

That's good information. Certainly more than I've got from Valve themselves. I'll definitely make sure to check back here before I buy anything. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks so much for doing all that for me, it's very much appreciated. One question from a skinflint - I can save £200 by using that spec with a 2070 GPU instead of a 2080. Is there a big difference? Would I regret it?

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Other than gaming it's going to be used for bog standard office stuff for the main part. Probably the biggest hog that will be semi-regularly used (when I'm working from home) will be coding with Visual Studio 2019, but that will (obviously) be happy with a lot...

Hi folks - This is the spec I'm considering. The PC will be used mainly for gaming, including VR. It's coming in a bit above my budget though. Is there anything in this spec that you think I'm overdoing? Anywhere I can knock a few quid off? Thanks in advance. Case PCS SR-628B RGB GAMING CASE...

This may be an idiotic question, but... I'm looking at getting a Vive VR headset and one of the requirements is an HDMI 1.4 port or a DisplayPort 1.2. I've just bought an Optimus VIII 1060 laptop with an nvidia GPU (NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 - 6.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1). The laptop...
