Hi peeps, may I ask is this a design or defect??
Actually I got this notebook on 21/03/2019 (Not to mention the service is quick and nice), and everything's fine except this. Then I was like since this did not affect my daily usage and I just accepted it. Until today I found that this corner looks like slightly bigger than two weeks earlier.

Just wanna know whether it's defect or a design?

Hi hshern95, Should you wish to send in your laptop to our office for us to have a look at the issue?

Hi Prince J,

I've managed to successfully install Steam and MS, but when I try to update Kaspersky and my Autodesk products, similar error log about connection failure appeared. I've already sent my onyx to the office for inspection. Thank you.

Can I send it to your office on June? Because I'm currently overseas.

Hi hshern95, Yes it is possible to do so

Hi. Is the 144hz screen upgrade only applicable for 1060 if I choose onyx lite?

hi anthraxxxx,

Yes ONYX Lite has 144Hz IPS option.

Can I still choose the 144hz IPS option if I pick GTX 1050 Ti?

Yes you can.

So currently disable turbo boost is the best way to keep temp low abit? I'm using this way to disable turno boost:
https://www.geeks3d.com/20170213/how-to-dis...-on-a-notebook/.

But still felt very hot on the panel of power button.

Any others recommended way? Internal or external(is cooling pad still a thing?) both also ok, as long as it cool down onyx when gaming.

For the laptop, the temperature levels observed are perfectly fine but should you wish to bring down the temperature further, I would recommend for you boost the fan/equip a laptop cooler with a slanted design/use an external fan/operate the laptop in an air-conditioned room

I think there's no way to reduce the temp of the top panel near the power button since the placement of the cooling pipes and CPU+GPU is right near the bottom of it. I even trying to aim a stand fan at it yet it is still warm lol.

Anyway it is better to have it warm there rather than right under keyboard or touchpad as that would be unpleasant for daily usage. Should be fine I guess unless you are doing great stressing productivity tasks that constantly ramps up to turbo boost and temp go above 80 degrees. Disabling turbo boost for me looks to be good as my normal productivity tasks and gaming doesn't require super intensive CPU clocks.

Haven't tried the setting to 99%. Could work and will try soon but for now Intel XTU serves me fine to control that.

Thanks for @AZIM@ILLEGEAR @pluginbaby suggestion.

Hi Azim , is it possible to change Onyx keycaps to Selenite keycaps ? Are they interchangeable. I still like the keycaps shape of the Selenite .

Hi k!nex, I'm afraid the keycaps on the Selenite is not interchangeable with the Onyx because of the difference in the keycap dimensions. Nevertheless, we shall announce it officially once the octagon version of the Onyx keycaps (CAP 3) is released soon

Talking about caps, I finally got around to mix-matching my Onyx caps. Now my CAPS, NUM and NUMPAD keys all use the older square Cap 1 and the rest are on the standard Brown-switch Cap 2... just for the fun of it lol.

Might just get a Cap 3 set once those hit also. Being able to physically alter the feel of your keys on-the-fly like this pretty funky TBH.

Also, yeah, cooling pads are still a thing. The best I've tested has got to be the Coolermaster A200 if you wanna go the "conventional" cooler route (good air volume from the twin fans and matches the vents on the Onyx), but I also use an X-Lite II which is not bad. Don't expect a HUGE drop in thermals, but the extra volume of air does help.

As for Vaccum coolers (the "extractor" types), I don't think those work well with the twin vent design on the Onyx... unless you buy two of those.

Hi guys, is it the battery will stop charging when full?

Owh... So there is actually a plan to release the octagon keycaps. Any tentative pricing. I need to start saving already. Learnt from Rosmah on tabiat menabung.
Is it end-user replaceable or do I need to send my unit over for you guys to do it ?

Btw, I have tried numerous ways for cooling. I think the main problem is the rubber feet at the bottom of the notebook is not tall enough. That hinders airflow . I did an experiment by comparing the placement of the notebook. Put on the desk like usual and tilt the rear by 1.5cm like that by putting a small book between the 2 fans inlet. There is a significant drop in temperature when i run benchmarks. I think those notebook coolers dont work that well because the fans are not powerful enough, it is only drawing power from USB port , 5V 500mA max.

Good day! Sorry to inform you that octagon keycap is not compatible with the keyboard panel used in the Onyx model.
We shall keep you informed on the latest updates once given by the manufacturer later. Thanks and have a nice day!
