Had been thinking to order the Z5. Saw from the website Z5 Skylake this time come with the 2 cover options. Anyone prefer the plastic cover over the aluminum cover? Is it worth the upgrade?

The aluminum cover look nice but the plastic cover seems quite sexy as well  drool.gif Any thoughts on the covers?

We actually receive a strong demand of black casing after we upgraded the chassis to aluminium, that's why we brought it back.

Dear Prince J,
I found my z5 charge having some problem which is sometime can charge sometime cannot. When is not charge i try to move the adapter & the charge wire sometime it will start charging and a while is not charge again and i also realise when the charger is charging i feel the aluminum (white place at the keyboard, when typing we put the hand palm on the surface) feel have electric. May i know did the z5 charger is included in warranty list ?

Hi killerl,

Try changing your UK power cord and try to charge it at another location.

I tested the UK Power Cord by replacing the other brand laptop UK Power Cord, it back to normal now. So did i need to bring my UK Power Cord to your office for replace under warranty ?
*
Hi killerl,

Yes we will exchange a new UK power cord to you if you bring in.

Hi again Prince J,

A few questions again need to ask. If i claim my UK power cord with warranty, did the remaining warranty 1 year+ (I just bought around February 2015) still available ? how much that the UK power core did you guys selling ?
*
Yes it's still covered by remaining warranty period, please send it in for checking first.

Hi guys planning to grab z5 last day tmr black friday sales.  Jst minor concern on the heat solution and warranty. Is it worth it to get 3 years warranty @rm399. And on heat issue, how long can i game?  Maximum. If run this machine as torrent?
*
Hi shenshenshen,

Z5 has one of the best cooling systems among all 960M and 970M laptops, and it doesn't get too much fan noise. You can test it at http://www.illegear.com/getting-here

I'm experiencing ping spike from 18 to 200ms+ ( in game ) in 1 sec randomly, but not on my other friend's laptop.. we're in the same game.

I'm using asus router connected to a streamyx stock modem.

Hi Blizzard,

Can you pm me your wireless module model? You can check it in device manager.

I will send you the latest driver.

You can download the latest driver here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloads/....21.0_De164.exe

For the first page driver, it's approved by the factory but not the latest.

how do i install it? i double clicked it just now, and then my wifi suddenly auto disabled. after i restart my comp then its up. does it means the process is done?
*
Click the URL I attached, scroll to the bottom page and accept the T&C before you can download the driver. After that just launch the installer to install the driver, restart.

You have to reflash the BIOS on the first page and download the windows 10 drivers for Z5.

the BIOS all on the first page are the latest right? is it hard to reflash the bios? or its advisable to bring it over to illegear instead?

btw i've updated the Wireless driver already, still the same. I'm experiencing ping spikes but my friends are not.

Is there any problem related to windows 8? cuz their OS are windows 7

Edit : After i connect Lan cable to my z5, then the spike isnt there anymore.

Hi BlizzardCraft,

You can send in your laptop for testing the connection.

By the way, do check on your router settings. Recently we have another case similar to you with 7260AC (other devices no problem but lag spikes with this wireless module), the problem has been resolved by resetting the router.

I think the beep sound problem has been completely gone for me.
Just another question, my HDMI doesn't work when I connected to projector.
Which driver should I check for? Windows 10 x64.

Did your HDMI port work in Windows 8.1/7?

so, my 870M decided to die on me last week...2 months after warranty expired  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

temps were always good and im fanatical about cooling. so i know i didnt overheat it.

changing to a new card is gonna cost me 2.2k.

was wondering if its actually possible to repair it? any suggestions? or perhaps there is a second hand 870M i can buy?

Hi Jenevis,

We don't have Z5 using 870M card, what laptop are you using?

Anyone know where can I read more about the 24 month installment? Trying to find more information about the payment but I just couldn't find it. (Or maybe cause I'm using my phone now and too lazy to find it.. lol)

Also whats the difference between the skylake and haswell? Not so tech geek here. All I know is the higher the price is usually the better am I right? 😅 but I just want to know more.

Why is it that the haswell dont have 970M?

Window 10 or window 7 good? I heard alot of bad rumors with window 10 but I dont know bout it.

Lastly what are the mSATA thing do? Will it affects the laptop performance if not buying it?

Any help/advice is welcome. Thanks in advance and sorry if my post irritate or annoy some ppl. 🙏
*
Skylake battery life improves around 10% to 20%. As for gaming no difference btw haswell and skylake performance.

You can upgrade your msata ssd in future.

Hi YangWei

Please reinstall with the drivers on the first page of the thread.

QUOTE(Jenevis @ Dec 9 2015, 11:08 AM)
Aiya, my apologies. Posted in wrong illegear thread. It's not a Z5, I believe it's a D7 or RX series.

Mine is a Clevo 177SM-A body. Every country sells it under a different name, here it's illegear, mine was bought under the name Terrans Force in China while I was working there last year.

Internals are still all the same.

Will post in proper illegear thread. My apologies.
*
Hi Jenevis, I suggest you to upgrade to GTX970M since 870M and 970M prices are about the same.

I never use HDMI before since the day I purchased. It's the first time I used last week and it just won't detect the projector. I was bringing my laptop for a live event and it ends up couldn't detect display :'(

Try reinstalling intel hd and nvidia driver for Windows 10.
