Hi mingxun112,

The CPU of Z5 is soldered on board, it's common for slim type laptop nowadays.

Temperature,  or day to day situation,  etc.

Some people refuse to believe the z5 is the definitive,  undisputed  better "alternative"  to the other laptops that are within the same price range.

busy with assignment now, can only done review later.

i only played battlefield 4 and watchdog, the keyboard and wrist area are surprisingly cold.
although got two fans but not noisy as i thought.

speaker and subwoofer are damn good, surround effect is the best i ever experienced.

Hey bro, you play dota 2 ? I just tried out it.. but got no idea why my gameplay is not smooth
I got my fps to consta cry.gif nt 60 with v-sync on.. but when moving the "camera view/pan" it's not smooth.. and while my hero is moving with the angle view locked on them, you can clearly see the animation of the hero is not smooth (Eg: sniper cape when he's moving doesn't wave smoothly.. it's like spike)

So far just when playing dota 2 in local lobby it is not smooth..

I tried COD:AW.. it's damn smooth in 1080p with high settings.. haven't try out ultra settings  brows.gif
The cooling is indeed top notch.. Played Advanced Warfare for about 1 hour, temperature of gpu & cpu are both 60+ degree c on average.. (I also wonder how come when I'm gaming the fan is so damn quiet.. in the end the fan is not at max speed  doh.gif )

After finding out the Max Fan "secret", the average of gpu & cpu temperature become 50+ !
Btw I underclocked my gpu and cpu.. it indeed lower some temperature also.. performance not much different

So far this laptop is superb  rclxm9.gif 
except for the weird scenario I got in dota 2  sweat.gif

P/S: The max speed fan is quite noisy though.. But I still can tahan.. just when playing game at outside everyone will turn around and wonder where's the sound come from.. lol  laugh.gif

bro what you use to see temperature in gaming?

me also can feel the laptop very cold in battlefield ultra, fan never max and very quiet. Not like my old laptop fan noise very loud and overwrite sound rclxub.gif

my housemate alienware 14 fan annoying like hell and keyboard there quite warm, big brand somemore zzz

I'm using HWMonitor.. It's a very popular tools.. You can dl CPU-Z and GPU-Z to see your cpu and gpu status also..
For me it's decent lar.. cause never really have a gaming laptop before.. so I still feel kinda warm in the middle and right part of the keyboard.. mostlyl the gpu and cpu is located at there..

With max fan then it's a bit noisy but the keyboard remain quite cool.. not so warm compared to no max fan.. biggrin.gif

thx bro. i need to tab out to see temperature? how to see temperature in game full screen mode?

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 !!!  rclxms.gif

maybe we can overclock z5? z5 use 150watt adapter right??

Dear all, is it normal that the keyboard surface is warm during use? Not to mention it's warming during both gaming and normal surfing.
