Only 60hz

just ordered myself a s5, went to the show room to take a look but the display laptops are all old models

wanted to test the s5 before buying but the sales person only showed me the non-workable s5 so i only get to see how it looks like

i think the look wise is the same as the old one..

after 3 days fully utilising the laptop, i can say this is one powerful laptop for the price..

manage to overclock the gpu by extra 150mhz and stable.. highest was 180mhz..but it was generating alot of heat fast.. so tone it down to 150mhz..which i think is the sweet spot for stability and thermal ...

are you using the older one? does illegear have any software themselves tuning the fans etc? or i have to do this manually or using 3rd party programs

Hi wazzzap,

I think we showed some customers a S5 with Nvidia Pascal GPU without OS.

Sorry we didn't have time yet to complete the demo, will finish it once we clear all the backlogs.

As for the IPS display and structure fram, it looks pretty much the same as the old S5.

yeah its ok, i ordered the s5 on that day itself anyway haha. actually i wanted to ask more questions but then the lady said the sales person is not there at that time, so i didnt really bother anyway. maybe i will ask more questions when i collect the laptop then.

dont think its the old one... i just bought like 3 days ago.. GTX 1070 GC

it has a built in software ..quite simple to use..

can specify u want to use optimus (intel + gtx1070 switching) or direct use GTX1070 directly..

use gtx1070 will drain battery quicker though..

alright great, will be looking forward to collect it and test it out. this is my first laptop by the way haha

its my first gaming laptop, have a gaming desktop ..but now i need something slightly mobile for gaming..

so selling off my desktop to get this..but i have another laptop for my office.. this is too heavy for me to bring to office daily

yeah i need it for work as well, how's your experience with the battery life for non-gaming session?

the battery life..for is ok la.. not that great but not that bad..

getting roughly 2 hours, but i am using GTX1070 directly..not optimus..probably can get more on optimus..

i'm used to my macbook 8-9 hours battery life...

You can enable mshybrid (intel graphics switching) on BIOS.

i purposely disable the MShybrid.. because 80% of time the laptop is plugged in..

is there any other way or software to do that instead of going to BIOS?

u can use the built in app ..its on the windows tray icon..but u still need to restart the laptop..

by the default the MShybrid is enabled

Hey Prince J, was that you dealing with me just now in whatsapp? Thanks for making thing clear for me on pricing issue. It was my bad due to Monday blue and so eagerly waiting for the machine.
By the way, changing from single GTX1080 to GTX1070 SLI shouldn't posts any stability issue for P870DM3-G board right?
Hopefully you can expedite the unit for me.

There are several persons dealing with our ILLEGEAR whatsapp and yeah I was the one answering your question.

Dual GTX 1070 SLI uses P870DM2 chassis.

I see. By the way, what is the differences between P870DM2 vs P870DM3?

Attention gamers! Taylor's University The Lakeside Cup DOTA2 tournament will be held using ILLEGEAR gaming laptops. ILLEGEAR will also have a booth there. Catch us up at the event!
