Lol.. welcome to 15'' full hd family.. I guess you guys didn't tried 1080p in 21'' monitor..
Let's hope that windows 10 got make changes to this issue.. should scale everything accordingly

Your WiFi card is AC ? or N ? If it's AC then you need to download the driver from Intel site and install it yourself.
The driver provided by the CD is for RealTek 1 if not mistaken

I think quite hard to get protective cover for keyboard.. cuz the model is one of a kind ?
Didnt heard protective screen cover before.. how it protect the screen ?

I didnt use any.. i doubt there's any out there which fit z5 xD
just use a cloth to wipe it lo.. thats what i do..

If u manage to buy it.. tell me whr can get

Pressing Fn + 1 will force the fan speed to go maximum spinning. It's a bit loud/noisy but it indeed help to cool the laptop better when under full load.. Normally under normal load you doesn't need to use the Turbo Fan..

Correct me if I'm wrong

Also, Welcome to Z5 family !!!

Only problem is the frequent cleaning of this machine.. I tend to keep whipping the keypad and the whole laptop to maintain it's clean beastly look
Hahaha

Do let us know the link to download the new driver when it's up
Hope you guys consider adding the new software you posted not long ago into Z5

Nop.. Contact Prince J to get further assist.. In what circumstance you get this BSOD ?

Their QC is very good and efficient right ? haha

Will do it in... maybe end of January ? Rushing project so no gaming now

Watch Dogs is absolutely a no.. 860m can't handle it
Crysis 3 also.. according to notebookcheck.net
Sad

You can try play it at high settings 1080p.. Watch Dog and Crysis 3 I did try it out.. Both getting below 30fps..
Yet along Ultra settings.. Not playable..

Z5 has only 1 version of 860m which is maxwell 4gb.. 4gb didn't make much different as our own 860m is not high end card.. You can check out notebookcheck.net, there's a professional review on 860m card.. they also stated 860m at most can play on high settings on demanding game on 2014, no ultra settings.

But game before 2014 should be fine with ultra.. but maybe no 1080p

Yes

We can't do anything.. It's gtx860m.. it's a budget graphic card.. Not the high end 1.. Those game you're playing like Watch Dogs, Assassin Creed IV, Crysis 3 are all demanding games. Which mostly require a high end graphic card to run them on Ultra / High Settings 1080p

You should realize it before you get yourself a gaming laptop.. As for normal game and previous year high demanding game (Crysis 2 or 1, BF3 or any game prior 2014), 860m should be find on High settings 1080p

No need to overclock your gpu, since you're not sure what you're doing.. and personally I feel that OC-ing a laptop gpu won't make much diff.

Fuyoh.. buy 2 units sia.. Gratz on your laptops !
Welcome to Z5 family !!!

But I think OC 860m won't do much different I think.. Still won't be able to play those game in ultra/high 1080p
Maybe a bit improve in performance lo.. Didn't try yet..

I scare it will shorten the gpu lifespan

Nop.. So far based on the benchmark, it's 30% increase in term of performance compared to 860m..
So 860m getting 50fps then 965m will be getting about 65 ? lol
If you want high end gaming on ultra 1080p, 965m is not the choice.. 970m or 980m is your bet..
And 2GB vram is not enough to play most high end game on ultra settings..

The coming Witcher 3 if not mistaken, require 6GB vram to play on ultra / high..

Yea.. Some game don't even support SLI

Do you block the air intake ?? Try see whether your table got a "pop" surface which may block the air flow at the bottom of the laptop..
If you're using cooling pad make sure the air flow is not reversed..

My Z5 so far okay.. just some time feel a bit warm.. 80% ram usage 50% cpu usage

Haha.. open 30++ browser tab, few development tools then like that ad lo.. and some VM..

Not sure.. I think it's not solved yet..
Besides, I got no time to game now.. Today I just submitted my project late.. 5 marks gone

I also believe the Realtek RealSpeed is not the course.. And I think we can't use the RealSpeed software as we're using different wifi card, intel AC..
I didn't install the utility software, if it's possible to be used, please correct me
