You can try using 8GB first, if it's not enough then come back to us for upgrade smile.gif

8gb ram is more than enough unless you are performing memory intensive tasks like virtualizations, handling big data etc

Really tough choice between the S5 and S7...weight and screen. Wish the S7 have an IPS upgrade option...THEN it would be the portable gaming laptop!

Just wondering, anyone have a similar issue laptop illegear S5 (with GTX 980M) shutting down suddenly without any notice?

Watch movie on my laptop (at the same I opened an "Intel Extreme Tuning Utility" to see the CPU Temp).

The laptop just shuts down with no warning notice. It didn't restart automatically.  shocking.gif

[attachmentid=4359025]

FYI, I didn't do any overclocking or change the default settings except install the latest update for Windows 8.1, Intel Extreme Tuning Utility & Geforce Nvidia, Install Avast Antivirus, Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

I didn't run my laptop 24 hours... only 2 hours.
This is typical of an overheating issue??
MODEL: ILLEGEAR S5 WITH NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980M

P/S: My old laptop SONY VAIO.....no problem so far....

s7 if you want to puas hati big screen damn nice. but for accessories a bit issue la. 17.3 inch laptop hard to find accessories. even screen protector been searching for months now but still haven't found one. laptop sleek also hard to find. the laptop sleeve given by illegear is too thin. pretty but thin. huhuhu

screen protector? I have never used them before... don't. think I need it since it's not a touch screen.

maybe the sleeve would be a nice idea.

Hi WildChai,

There are a few reasons why we didn't put download links online but instead giving drivers DVD in the package.

Anyway, you can send your email to support@illegear.com with your serial number and we will get back to you about the driver links. smile.gif

Thanks man. Managed to get all of them except the fingerprint driver off the sager site.

I realised playing crysis 3 at full settings... Once temp hit very high just before fan kicks in....my fps drops to <10 and after a few seconds jumps back to normal.
Found out it was temperature.... Turn on full fan constantly eliminates this.

i've tried playing crysis 3 in normal room and room with air cond. no lags or differences in fps at all bro but the heat is noticeable la. however, the temperature does not reach 80 degree celcius.

i've noticed that max fan starts to kick in every time i play games.

your's is the same as mine right?

better you use windows 8.1 bro. i previously install windows 7. huge difference in performance. 8.1>>7 icon_rolleyes.gif

90C is your CPU or GPU temperature? If it's CPU temperature, try to disable Intel Turbo boost.

its the GPU....the temp log below is when playing crysis 3. the fan was set to kick in at 80% when temp hits 60deg. this is the default setting in the Custom option in the Hotkey control center
