That's a great looking build man. Very neat.

That did appear to work! Using nvidia inspector to clock it down to P8 and then a bit more. I just got off a skype interview with about half battery left.

actually thats not a bad shout. I could use the nvidia tuning app to downclock it and reduce its power draw. worth a go anyway :)

yeah I don't see a way of switching between the two elegantly. I can just disable one in the devices panel but, not elegant. to be honest having a machine that could get through a two hour meeting would be good. I appreciate this is not designed for this use case, and I didnt buy it for this...

I am happy unlocking and playing with the BIOS, I just had to do a repair on an Alienware M17X R3 and to get that sucker up and running needed an unlocked BIOS to disable the integrated graphics before putting a very specific AMD driver on ... total nightmare. Happy trying it, just where can I...

@Atom80 or indeed anyone else who can advise. I am using my X7DT V3 at work, is it possible to enable the Intel® HD Graphics 530 on the i7-6820HK processor so I can get a bit more battery life out of the machine?

curse you doublepost pixie! the wifi here not great.

Ok sitrep for anyone finding themselves in this sitution. So I took the back off again and removed the battery completely, then, with the back still off I plugged in the mains power and turned it on. Rejoice! the laptop lives. Better than this though on reconnecting the battery, the laptop...

nope its not replugging the clover cable and we drove here. I have popped the back off and the battery is firmly attached. does it need that battery to work even if its on main power? I have a spare battery at home as I replaced it to see if it would improve the laptop life when not on mains (...

Heyas. I bought one of the original X7DT's in June 16, this product according to my account: Aorus X7 DT 17.3" IPS FHD G-SYNC, Intel Core i7-6820HK, GTX 980 8GB GDDR5 Gaming Laptop LT-024-AU I have just opened it up and gone to turn it on and its dead. like dead. no fans, no screen, not a...

Thanks for the replies folks. Not quite bricked but near enough. It functions as a basic vga card but the 3d acceleration is borked. Weird one I popped the backplane off the faulty card and I have evidence of leakage. At the back near power inputs, couple of blown transistors or wotnot...

Hey all. A few years back I built this machine with a pair of 980 GTX's in it. A couple of days back I had to move the machine about a bit, and it sprang a leak. the loop drained, from the back thankfully so not into the machine, CPU overheated and shutdown, general bad stuff happened...

Hi all Quick question. Does this product require chamfering to fit into EKWB fittings? Thanks. Ed

No time to test really, spent the weekend with the kids, making French revolutionary hats for them as apparently their school is celebrating Bastille Day although why is beyond me as we live in England and Bastille day marked the beginning of a murderous reign of terror but hey. Anyone...

It's here! Woot! And now my dream portable is complete! JOY!

Woot! Thanks Atom. Hopefully it will be there for me to pick up on Friday when I get back from Finland.

Legend speaks of a prophecy, a delivery of the X7 DT to OCUK. There are rumours that signs have started to appear, there are stirrings in the far east and smoke rises from, umm, a smokey thing. I also got an email suggesting that they might be on the way. For the love of all that is good...

Are these two products compatible, ie are they the male and female side of the quick release but both with G14 threads to fit into the rest of the loop? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitspower-quick-release-connector-g1-4-inch-fem-matte-black-wc-505-bp.html...

And my rift arrived yesterday, 5 minutes before I had to leave for the Airport for another week in Sunny Finland. No, really, its really nice here!
