Damn,now that's a serious difference,man. I don't get it either,high end machines and all that and applying cheap thermal paste??

It is indeed disappointing to have to change the thermal paste to a brand new machine.I think of changing mine s well since it won't void the warranty.60C in idle seems a bit much to me and i am curious in the new paste will change the temperature. Yes,i am considering extending the warranty beyond the 3 years already provided.

Hi GK, CPU i9 13950HX and ATA 3500. I am using it in High Performance Mode and while idle,CPU is 57-60C. Once i noticed this i went through some other forums and threads cause i was curious if the i9 runs hotter by design. Mentioning this cause in more than one occasion with the latest i7 and i9 processors some users had high temp right of the bat-playing video games reaching 100C,thermal shutdowns etc. Few guys with HP's with the 13th gen Intel processors reported that after changing the thermal paste the CPU temp dropped like 10-15C.This i find annoying cause that's basically a brand new machine and i have to change the thermal paste??Plus if doing so i don't know if that might void the warranty. Now my idle temps are in the upper normal limits,goes lower once in Balanced Mode.Thinking maybe it is not a bad idea to extend the warranty just for a peace of mind.

Hi GK, rendered a few shots in Nuke during the weekend while monitoring the temperature.CPU spiked around 90-92C. I do not think it is extremely uncommon to have spikes around the 90C while rendering full CG or shot scenes. How many frames did you render?Do you use other programs while rendering?Usually when i render longer shots(400-500)frames,it does go up to 90 something but i have never hit the 100C mark. It's a good idea to monitor the temp next few times while rendering to see if that occurs frequently.I wouldn't worry if it spikes around 90C,but having it around 100C on regular basis might indicate issues. Don't get paranoid,monitor and see how it goes next few times you render 🙂

I should have mentioned my overall impression with the G10 Fury aside of my struggle with the sound drivers stuff. Having it for more than a month,up until now i haven't noticed CPU(i9) throttling.I have been rendering out 3D scenes as well as pretty heavy music stuff with multiple plugin instances-no problemo with those. Temperature wise it has reached 90 degrees a few times but performance didn't seem to have been affected.Fans could get a bit louder on full load while rendering but i have never been bothered by those in general.I am using it in High Performance Mode all the time and with normal load it never reaches more than 68 degrees with multiple tabs and a couple of programs open(but that is to be expected from such machine). The video card ATA3500 seems to be holding its ground.It is a middle class card so i am not expecting miracles,but for normal 3d scenes and editing it does its job pretty well. The keyboard is a joy to use-definitely the best one i have ever tried.The pad is also of high quality and very responsive. I need to point out that most of the time i use it with an external monitor and external mouse and keyboard and i am also not that pretentious when it comes to keyboards. It came with a full array of Wolf Security features.At first i thought it might just be more bloatware but left it there out of sheer curiosity.I suppose it does what it does but haven't seen intrusion with my everyday use so far. The display(Dream Color 4K),is pretty accurate and of high quality.I have been using some of the best in the market for more than 15 years and this one is really there at the top.The matte finish is a plus for me. I suppose these things could be said for most high end mobile workstations cause they share essentially the same components. Was a devoted DELL Precision user but got this one with decent discount and decided to switch. If i could sort out the sound stuff,i be even happier 🙂 Take care all

Things are looking better,went through the pipeline with most of the troublemakers.Far from perfect,drops now and then but better nonetheless. It has nothing to do with the processor(disabled and then enabled again the SpeedStep and C1E just to make sure),got the most reliable driver from the NVidia site,tweaked different settings. It is not an issue rendering out the songs in 24bit 48000Hz,what is an issue is that i want to render it out through my SSL bus compressor(analog compressor to glue the tracks).Once i play the whole song and printing it out of the compressor there is always 1-2 drops in 4 minutes).I can live with that while doing the mixing but definitely in search of improving the drivers mess to a point where it works relatively flawless. Yeah,set the card in "prefer maximum performance"mode. After the changes the external EIZO moitor,bravelly hanging out at 18017 hours of usage time as of now,doesn't seen to cause as much damage according to Latency Mon. So yeah,not perfect but i am taking it easy now,unwilling to spend another night in the Windows sound maze of utter confusion. Take Care All

Was up till 5 am,reading,browsing and trying what not,to no avail.Quite a lot of people using Windows seem to have sound drop outs and crackles and the usual suspects are Wdf01000.sys,nvlddmkm.sys and ACPI.sys. Now when i think about it,i don't think i had such sound issues when i bought the Fury a month ago.Should have been some win update or driver or something.Do not want to reinstall windows right now since i am using the workstation for work. I am using also Linux for work as well and that is the most stable OS.Unfortunately most of the sound programs and vst plugins that i am using aren't available there. Will keep delving with dogged determination cause i just refuse to accept windows could suck so much when it comes to audio.Other high end laptops also have similar issues so i doubt it has anything to do with the Fury. Have a good day and keep you posted

Aaron, thanx a lot for your quick response man,highly appreciated. Right of the bat i got the following images(see attached). The third pic is after i ran it without my external monitor.Obviously there is an issue and will have to figure out how to fix it. Not sure how to reinstall those drivers but will keep reading and researching.The funny part is that after starting LatencyMon,even without doing anything it detects that the system is having trouble handling audio and other tasks. I am perplexed and will probably buy a Mac at some point in the future to handle my sound stuff,Windows is atrocious when it comes to audio.I am amazed after spending a good chunk of money,i have to bash my head against the wall just to make this laptop handle audio. Thank you once again,will keep you posted

Hello all, new guy here 🙂 Went through all the messages and found some interesting stuff about the Fury series. Bought a G10 Fury after being a Precision fan ever since they hit the market. Got the i9 with ATA 3500 configuration and i am mostly happy.What i find quite frustrating is that i also use this laptop for music production in my free time and there seems to have some issues with crackling and pops when playing audio either from YouTube or while working with my Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface.It is not super bad but enough to frustrate me after spending so much money on it. For some reason i can not set the audio quality to anything other than 16 bit 48000Hz or 24 bit 48000Hz from my Realtek audio device.My external audio has all the setting i could think of but not the internal one.I usually use 24 bit 41000Hz in general and i have no idea why i do not have any other options rather than the two i already mentioned. I suppose if i knew exactly what is the chipset for the audio,i could probably find a driver that actually gives me options to change the quality format but i don't.I can't find any info online. One other thing that is also happening for again,unexplainable reasons is the whole system freezes for like 5-10 seconds once or twice a day.Just out of the blue,the mouse,sound,picture,everything freezes for a few seconds. I have done all the necessary things like latest BIOS updates,drivers and what not.I am trying not to get paranoid or disappointed by my new workstation and looking for solution to the audio issue-the other one isn't something that worries me that much,although it probably should. If anyone had similar experience with their G9-G10 or any of the series,will be extremely thankful to share their solution with me.Running Windows 11 Pro,if that matters. Be well and all the best
