For those who were wondering about anime matrix support, just wanted to let you guys know that the new version of GHelper is up for grabs on GitHub. Works like a charm

RGB works fine in GHelper. Also the guy behind it is already working on anime matrix. It used to be working on previous laptop models but not on this one as it's just released. So I presume it won't take him long to make it work in the next update

I haven't run across this problem but I haven't used the eco mode, only like once for couple of minutes. I think it’s happening because Eco Mode forces the system to use the integrated GPU, possibly disables the discrete GPU, and applies aggressive power-saving settings. If you’re running...

Thanks for the update on temps. I’ve been testing them myself too. I also tried Detroit: Become Human at first—beautiful game, a real masterpiece—but it doesn’t really push the GPU and CPU hard enough to properly test temperatures. So I ended up running Cyberpunk instead with Overdrive + RT...

Thanks man! I'll post an update here in couple of days. It's good to hear that your machine works fine now! Good luck at your recording session btw =) Cheers

Thank you for the detailed response, I appreciate it! So I think I'll go with the standard version too then

As for Hwinfo, are you using portable version or installed one? Not sure which one should I go with. I'm really becoming somewhat paranoid about monitoring softwares at this point

Nice reply, man! You pretty much covered everything. Just want to add that with proper energy management, I was able to extend the battery life to around 3.5 hours. I'm pretty sure it can be pushed even further — 4 to 5 hours with a 17W drain seems totally achievable. But if I hadn’t turned on...

Just wanted to share a quick update too for anyone following this issue. I've been running the machine for over 12 hours straight, mixing in some light gaming and a variety of non-demanding tasks. So far, performance has been solid—no freezes, crashes, or instability. Didn't install buggy...

Can't argue with that. But like OP said the geek inside me can't just let it go, there's got to be something we are missing. Hopefully the issue is as simple as a faulty HwMonitor software that don't support the brand new processors and GPUs and that's somehow causing the issue. Ill give an...

Yeah I did run a hard disk check and RAM check. No issues were found

I thought about that too, but what's the alternative? Most of the latest high-end laptops run on the 5000 series, which is still new and a bit buggy—so there's no guarantee the same issue won’t happen with other brands either. I guess it’s either roll with the punches or wait another six months...

Don't quite remember, probably it was running all the time, but one thing for sure - the latest time the machine froze was seconds after opening it. That's what got me thinking

The thing is I was only using this HwMonitor from the get go. And got occasional freezes every 1-3 hours or so. Not anymore since I opted out of installing it on the latest windows reinstallation. So far so good. I'am currently not using anything to monitor the temps apart from what's built-in...

Yeah this really sucks, I also have a 14 day return window, and the same dilemma as yours: return and be done with it or sit and hope they roll out some update or something to fix this shit. But, as one person on another forum said - this is the price of being among the first who own a new...
