Dude
970m is miles ahead of apu on xbone, ps4...

Its just that the later two benefits from a direct api that fully utilizes the hardware .. N with just one spec.. Optimization is done by the game dev.

This is what dx12 supposedly promises to offer..
*
Is 970m support directx12? On Nvidia site, it didn't mention that blink.gif or will they going to come out with driver to make it support...

technically it can works if the size of the new board can fit into the z5 chasis, but consider you are going to change everything except for hdd only. new cpu, new gpu, new ram, etc.

Is there such thing as 1TB SSD? And SSD and SSHD whats the difference ah?
*
Depends on your budget.

If you can then go for 1TB SSD, 2x 500gb mSATA, this will give you the most storage space and fastest performance out from the z5.

If not then get a mSATA for OS, and another sata for normal storage purpose. For my case is 128gb and 500gb sshd.

SSHD is a hybrid drive, performance is between normal hd and ssd.

*
Nope, not easy remove.

Anyone of you guys got the mSata 128gb (m550) as primary drive? I find that the temperature is rather high compare to the 500gb SSHD. When idle at room with ceiling fan only and outside is pretty dang hot, SSHD is at 40c while the mSata at 53c. Is this normal for mSata?

I'm thinking to get another 256 or 500gb msata for the second slot but with this kind of temperature kinda worry me whether should I add on the storage...

Thats pretty good.

Hmm got a few msata with me atm. Thinking should i try one

One of the disppointment with z5.. Wish it had a m.2 pcie slot.
*
Need to enable HIPM/DIPM in order to achieve the low temp, before that it constantly stay at 5x c when just idle and once it goes up to 6x during load.

Got extra msata you willing to let go with cheaper price? I still got another slot.

Got to agree with the msata instead of m.2, it is confirmed that it going to be replace by m.2 sweat.gif

sifus,

how do i get the battery to not charging mode?

i have tried
1. switch on power - plug in, and then turn on z5, battery at 95%, it will remain a few sec not charging mode, then it will switch to charging....zzz

2. plug in, restart, battery 95%, cant, restart again, still cant remain at not charging mode...sien dy...how ar?
*
Is z5 has such feature of not charging mode when plugged in?
Just a thought, if you want the battery not to be charge why not just unplug the cable?

QUOTE(moodswingfella @ Oct 13 2015, 01:25 PM)
hi friends,

glad i found this thread. got few questions to ask since im considering to purchase a z5,  4mth used unit, for rm4800. is the specs n price ok for used unit?

i7-4720
16gb ram
500gb sshd
gtx 970m
15inch fhd
win 10

another, warranty wise. ive been told every illegear owner have registered their personal details n when it comes to warranty claim event, illegear only honor the original owner to processed the warranty claim. is this true that 2nd hand owner will not have the privilege to make warranty claim?

thanks in advance.
*
I got mine last month with spec of 8gb ram, additional 128gb msata ssd, the rest same, which cost me 6k, I think this should be a good deal.

Warranty wise, you can register the device under your name, details you can refer to illegear website under warranty section.

thanks for ur reply. yea im pretty happy with the price he/she quote me. but my concern is the warranty since i believe the owner already used his/her name to register into illegear website.

im quite skeptical about re-register the item under my name. maybe i shud call illegear directly and inquire. but I doubt it can be done. humm

have you check their website, it is listed there. sweat.gif

just normal ambient temp...

yup. dude this is pretty good for msata.

idle is 3xs.

thats the max load temps about 20-40gb transfer
*
so not in air cond environment, that's pretty good.
m550 seem to suffer a bit on mine, when it load up to 50c then it hardly drop back even just idle...looks likes mx200 improve a lot on the temperature control.

Hi haruglory,

Within 90 days of purchasing you can extend the warranty without inspection at the website price.

After 90 days of purchasing, you have to bring in for inspection first.
*
Any charges for the inspection? How much to extend the warranty (3 years bring in and 3 years on-site)?

A question for CPU temperature.

My CPU hit 82c during gaming (MSG Phantom Pain-all high settings), whereby the GPU not even 80c yet. Turbo boost was disabled by set the max processor rate to 99% in power settings. Normal ceiling fan no aircond, laptop sit on solid surface (wood) or glass flat surface table. Is this normal?

I tested in aircond room (temperature around 25-26c), same settings for all, CPU still get 76c.

My machine is applied with the diamond IC, I wonder if without will it gets to 90c?

Did you disable the Turbo Boost by pressing FN+9?
*
I didn't use the FN+9 to disable, but I reduce the maximum processor speed to 99% in power settings, upon check the processor clock speed it never goes more than 2.57Ghz. Tested if I put 100% and disable using FN+9, it is the same result, so I assume this method will disable the turbo boost.

Prince J, the warranty for our z5 by default is 1 year right? ( cover everything? )

btw will it hurt the speaker by using program to boost sound volume? cuz i find that the volume kinda low
*
Mine default was 2 years carry in warranty. It's best you check your invoice.
Agreed with the volume, don't know is the settings, speaker or clip issue...Suddenly loud suddenly soft...

Yay! I just got my Z5 GTX970 Friday.
I downloaded GTA V and wanted to play this long waited game.
When i open the game, there's a pop up message saying that my pc dont meet the minimum video memory requirement. Hence I choose to go in from Safe Mode (lower quality it says).
There's a FPS test, my result is just 10-12 FPS from all the video. And when I play, the game cant run smoothly, Help! I suppose my Graphic card is more then enough to play this???? HELPPPPP
*
I think you are using the Intel graphic instead of the GTX970m, try configure it to use the graphic card in the settings.

Anyone got problem installing the Cumulative update for Win10? I always got the problem to install it and it will restart several times to configured then undoing...very annoying...

Checked online indeed there are people complain about this issue on Win10 but just wondering if anyone got the same problem as me on Z5?

Hi, been using this Z5 two weeks. So far so good.
But there're two problems I would like to ask.

1. How to update nvidia driver cause everytime I try it shows "unable to connect to Nvidia,try again later". Is it recommended to update regularly?

2. As this laptop is very new, I was so shocked that I experience the sudden shutdown. While working or watching youtube, the whole laptop just shut down and turned into the screen as attached. I have to clicked on the power button longer to force restart the laptop cause I cant do anything in the boot menu screen, none of the option works. And I experience this situation twice within the very first week i use this laptop. May i know why and is there any brother facing this problem as well?
*
1. Reinstall Geforce Experience, I had the same issue before.
2. Did you use mSata as primary drive? Try reinsert it, I got same error once, after reinsert the mSata seem to be working fine.
