Thanks. Received my unit just now after lunch. This machine is...huge compare to my previous Illegear RX-17. Also with the twin brick of power suppliers, wow.

Received my D9X yesterday afternoon. Went back and turned on the machine. Did some setting such as switching the pagefile to D:\ Windows app storage to D:\ and the machine kept on crashing like nobody business.
However, after an intensive troubleshooting, I was able to isolate the problem to Windows app storage. Once switch to D:\ the whole machine became unstable. After reverting back to c:\ everything go back to normal now.
Prince, any idea why this happened? My existing RX-17 has never encounter this problem even by switch the storage to d:\.

After reverting back the storage to c:\ again. Manage to capture some benchmark with Futuremark Fire Extreme1.1.


And Cloud gate comparing with my existing RX-17 GTX970M SLI


And managed to try out Fallout4 in ultra. While my RX-17 running with a pair of GTX970M struggles with high setting, this machine with a pair of GTX1070 SLI burn thru. the game like hot knife thru. butter. Super silky smooth.

Overall, happy with the purchase.

We had the same problem report from some old D series who updated their windows 10 home to anniversary cumulative update. If you wish you can send us your machine and we will install an older version of windows 10 home.

Nope. I am happy with my unit now. I can live with not able to switch the windows storage to d:\. Worse case I can just upgrade my c:\ to 1T ssd no issue for me.
I am on Anniversary edition now and its rock solid. I won't risk breaking it again. Beside, I purchased a lot of XBox play anywhere games which needs Win10 Anniversary Edition as a basic requirement.

Thanks.

Ok we have compiled a list of anniversary bugs from our users and send to Microsoft. Hope the new update will fix all of them.

I ordered an S5 from the website but there is no stock at the moment. I received an estimate that the stock will arrive next week. Do you have an exact date on when the stock will be coming in?

Mid of next week estimately.

Will it be possible to get the laptop before next friday if the stock arrives as estimated?

Or is there additional lead time required that might delay receiving it?

Hi chachazero,

If the stock arrives on wednesday we are able to deliver by friday, do pm me your order number

Prince J received any complaints or encountered any warranty claim regarding the hinge on any Illegear (or whatever base it's based on) models?

The Q/S models are in my shortlist of Pascal laptops so would love to know from you or any users here.

@chtan

Congratz on your purchase btw mind sharing your pc specs?

A few post ago you said you were going for a single 1080 thoughts on why you decided to switch to 1070 sli?

Im getting myself either D7X or D9X too not sure if I should wait for Kabylake first.

Edit: typo

Hi wong

All our current models have stronge hinges, you can test them out at http://www.illegear.com/getting-here

just wondering are planning to bring display panels that are 120hz?

and if u do, is the current series can be upgraded?

is there any plans on producing z5s wth Nvidia 10 series? my brother is considering buying from illegear too

Hmm, any idea how to switch off the keyboard LED for S5?

Motherboard might not be compatible for existing users, but we will advise if it's posisble.

Yes we will have it, ETA November.

ah ok..thanks for the info..

so used to 144hz panel, gaming at 60hz can feel the difference..

btw manage to get around 100-120fps on overwatch using my 144hz 1440p panel.. epic settings with shadow at medium level..100% resolution scaling

Yap, originally I have ordered a single GTX1080 solution on D9X. However was told by Prince J that the system became unstable with 1 GPU and need to wait for another GPU with different ID to come in which will take another week or so. I hate waiting and that is why I decided to switch to GTX1070 SLI. The second reason is running single GPU in SLI enable board might lead to instability.
Anyway, I am happy with my decision. This machine is a monster. Tested with DeusEx Human divided. My old RX17 with a pair of GTX970Ms can't even hold the high setting consistently with some setting off while this monster is able to burn thru. it with Ultra, everything on. Min42 while Max at 64fps. This is a really impressive fps.
Also tested with Dumbuster's Homefront revolution with CryEngine 3. This machine able to run on it's highest setting with no hesitation at all. Silky smooth. On my old RX17, I have to run this game with medium and have to disable a few selection to get the game on acceptable fps.
If you have the budget to spare, I would recommend you to go for SLI.

Here is my spec.
17.3" Full HD Anti-glare Display featuring 120Hz Refresh Rate (1920 x 1080)
Professional Color Calibration
Intel Core i7-6700 DT processor
2 x Nvidia GTX1070 8GB DDR5 Pascal
IC Diamond Thermal Compound
Crucial 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM 2133MHz - 4 X 8GB
1TB 7200rpm Hitachi Hard Drive
120GB Intel 540 M.2 SATA Solid State Drive
Killer Wireless AC 1535 M.2
Win10 Home 64bit
ILLEGEAR 2 Year Carry-In Warranty

And here are some of my benchmark:

Time spy:
New rig with a pair of GTX1070 manage a score of 8446 ( http://www.3dmark.com/spy/520185 )
My old rig with GTX 970M only manage 4272 ( http://www.3dmark.com/spy/34254)

Fire Strike Extreme:
12938 on new D9X ( http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10318196 ) while on my old rig is only manage to chuck out 10802 in normal, non-extreme test ( http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6189391 ).

Cloud gate:
27538 on my new D9X ( http://www.3dmark.com/cg/3802140 ) while RX17 manage to pull out 23540 ( http://www.3dmark.com/cg/3100725 ) which is not bad. This test do not scale very well with SLI i think.

Did you check the temperature? I running at low setting with 1070 and has around 50-60 temp. Scared that high temp will damage the hardware.

I think you don't have to worry about that. There has been a lot of debate regarding how temperature affects hardware for laptops and desktops, or typically any kind of electronics.

The laptop's hardware is intelligent enough to shut off the device when it reaches a critical temperature limit. Some devices will throttle itself in an attempt to reduce the temperature. 50-60 Celsius is pretty much standard for a laptop and you're gaming at that temperature too. Sounds pretty good to me even if you're running it on low settings. Try maxing out the settings to push your laptop to the limits and see where it stabilizes. I bet its around the 70s to 80s.

You should only worry that your laptop does not shut down despite hitting critical temperatures of 100 degrees. Also it is good practice to have decent airflow beneath the laptop whenever possible. You're using the S5 right? You can check a review with some thermal notes at this link:

The XMG P507 is the same as the S5.
