PCSpecialist Vortex IV 770XS Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature.

We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.
temps
The cooling system works hard when loaded, with both fans spinning high when the temperatures increase.

We attached five diodes to the back of the chassis and measured the temperature (Celcius) after one hour of intensive work and gaming.
temps
The underside of the machine gets very warm to the touch, especially at the rear of the chassis. There are big exhaust vents at the rear of the machine to expel the hot air from both GPU and CPU, but the smaller vents on the underside do radiate quite a lot of heat under load too.

Not an ideal system to be using long term on your lap during those intensive gaming sessions.

  1. nice system, decent price. seen a simllar spec on Dell for around £500 more. I thought those bigger companies were meant to get better deals!

  2. Clevo are an acquired taste. they are bulky and not that pretty, but they are well built and last a long time. I have had one for years, I agree though, the keyboard is crap.

  3. Heat is the biggest problem with these machines, but this one looks good internally. its a step up from the last high end 17 inch unit I had, it had only one fan and it just had to work too hard. I had to clean it out every 2 months. something I should point out, is this unit is very easy to maintain by looking at the placements. a good airduster every 3 months and it would be fine.

    Good product, a company ive been watching now for a while. good builds.

  4. Wow thats a hell of a machine. good spec for the price too. cheaper than my alienware whic isn’t as fast 🙁

    ill ceck out their website.

  5. where i can buy this laptop?
