hi Prince J,

I bought S5 GTX1070 few months ago, just saw that now there's option to upgrade to 120hz panel. Is my laptop able to upgrade to the 120hz Panel?

We never tried that, because it's a very new display option, not sure if it can be swapped. Will update if it's possible.

ok.. please do update if can..i am very interested in upgrading mine if the cost is not that high

If not mistaken the 120Hz lcd panel is TN screen, i got a lot of feedback of the color accuracy is worse compare to the 60hz IPS panel.

anyway I am using 60hz IPS G-sync.

7th generation S5's 120Hz screen has IPS and G-sync

Nice! I plan to get s5 by mid year. One question though; lets say if I buy s5 with ips 60hz g-sync panel, will I be able to upgrade to the 120 hz ips g-sync panel later? Or I have to purchase the laptop directly with the 120hz panel though??

You can but cable need to be changed as well.

Oo... So the panel upgrade is indeed feasible la but need cable change as well?

I guess the cable change means extra cost involve in the panel upgrade process?

The total cost for the panel upgrade will not be an issue since I can always save up enough budget, as long as the the approximate cost is mentioned before hand...

Would be lovely if new owners of the GTX10xx S5 can provide review of your experience and cooling / noise / performance.

I've been using the S5 for about 6 months now. Just to give you an idea of what you're asking but before that, I am using the 1060 version.

All I can say about the cooling is that it works very well. I got mine with the Diamond Thermal Compound which was free due to some promotion. I play games like Rise of the Tomb Raider at max settings for everything, the temperature peaks at around 68 to 72 Celsius, which I think is pretty good when compared to a Lenovo Y50 I used to have. That peaked at around 95 for the same game.

Another example, Overwatch, Tera and Titanfall 2 peaks around 68 to 72. Idle temperature is around 38 to 42. Standard browsing, Youtube, MS Office and other productivity work doesn't affect the temp much so it stays around the same as idle temperature.

Now the noise is something you need to be concerned about if you like gaming in quiet environments. It's pretty loud when they're spinning in AAA games. Not loud enough to distract you if you have the speakers set to high volume or if you put on some headphones. I don't consider this a problem as my volume is always set high as the speakers are top notch.

Can't complain about the performance either. The only game I had performance issues with is Rise of the Tomb Raider when I max out everything. Frame rates drop to around 45 FPS in certain parts of the game(this is just me, 45 FPS is actually very good for gaming). Other games like Titanfall 2 get a constant 70+ FPS and Doom stays above 80 FPS at all portions of the game with everything cranked to the max. Not suitable for 1440p gaming or 4k gaming though you can get away with 1440p gaming if you lower some options. Most options don't really make a difference anyway.

Thanks for the input, dude. With the 1050 priced in and the AW15R3 well beyond reach at the moment, the S5 is becoming attractive again.

I just noticed they have the S5 Lite today. You might wanna consider that too. Everything is the same as the S5 but with a 1060 3GB.

Yes cable need to be changed as well. Cable + labor is around RM50~RM100 i estimate.

Did you try the fan overclocking app in S5's control center?

S5 Lite also don't have G-sync. But it's still a IPS screen.
