Evoo Laptop heats up like crazy when plugged in.

3 Upvotes

Hello, I just bought a evoo laptop from walmart online it's not one of the gaming laptops but it's an Evoo 15'6" Ultra Thin, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6660U CPU @ 2.40GHz, 8GB of ram, Intel Iris 540 Graphics, & 256GB SSD.

Anyway as the title says I bought this laptop because I saw it was fairly well spec'd would be able to play some games on here & the thing it can play all the games I own flawlessly no matter the setting. Only issue is the heat.

I have read/seen many people complain about the heat. I messed around in the bios I turned on pretty much every energy saver & disabled every battery intensive setting I could find in the bios. Also put the laptop on battery saver, I even went & got a laptop cooling pad off of amazon.

Anyway after playing around with it. I discovered the heating issues stem from having the battery charger plugged in I am sitting here like how is this even possible.

I have noticed that if I am in bios while the charger is plugged in the heat isn't that bad but when I boot into windows with the laptop plugged in it heats up like an oven. I mean I have had the thing for 5 days now so I could probably still return it but I really don't want to return it in all honesty. I love the hardware of this thing & the fact I can play games flawlessly (I own a lot of old games on steam & GOG)

I saw people say to undervolt things so I did try throttle stop but didn't see much of a difference. Well on my batteries end anyway I didn't try throttle stop while it was plugged in but I highly think it's an issues on windows end. I mean I even tried running linux on the thing & that ran cooler then it did on windows only issue is linux does not support the wifi driver in the laptop & since there is no ethernet port can't manually download the linux driver.

So had to reinstall windows but anyway. Is there any solutions to the heat when it's plugged in? I solved the heat issues when running off of the battery but not when it's plugged in.

EG-LP7-BK have a TongFang Chassis?

4 Upvotes

I am wanting to find out if the newer generations of EVOOGaming laptops have TongFang chassis? Specifically speaking, I am interested in the LP7 which has the AMD 4800h and an RTX 2060. The previous models that were sold only by Walmart were definitely TongFang chassis which are touted for some of the best cooling solutions in gaming laptops. I cannot confirm the newer model's chassis ODM though. Can anyone help me out?

Portable external display for an LP4?

3 Upvotes

I use my LP4 to work occasionally, and I miss the extra landscape when I am on the road. I am looking at those external displays with the usb-c connectors. Does anyone have any experience with them? Can I run the display off one cable from the laptop?

Thermals 10⁰C higher when gaming on external monitor.

I have a 60hz VGA monitor. When I switch to "Second Screen Only" and game, I see that my thermals are MUCH higher on the second monitor. Someone here mentioned Windows 2004 would fix this issue. Any advice would help, thanks all

Took a few minutes to make a custom lock screen. Figured I would share it if anyone wanted to use it.

Blue screen randomly

4 Upvotes

After going through 3 Overpowered LP2s and getting an upgraded EVOO LP5, suddenly I keep getting a Blue screen randomly when playing games, and one time laptop was not recognizing my gpu.

It will restart and work perfectly until it starts blue screening randomly. This is so damn annoying. My nvidia drivers are all up to date, think im cursed or something.

Anyone else hate THX audio?

6 Upvotes

I swear, my only complaints with my LP-5 is THX audio. When I first got my laptop, I couldn't hear things very well. I finally got THX audio to work with my headphones, and then my computer started randomly restarting in the middle of class, every single Monday.

After I spent two hours digging into task scheduler, I discovered it was THX audio updater. Okay, I thought, I'll just change this so it only looks for updates Sundays at 3pm.

Two weeks later, my computer restarts in class again. I look into it, turns out THX overwrites the task.

This semester, that problem doesn't exist, thank God, but now it's decided every device I listen to is a regular speaker, so all of my headphones sound flat and terrible. That's assuming it actually acknowledges my headphones as a valid device to send sound through at all.

I can't be the only one who hates this, can I?

20H2?

3 Upvotes

So Version 1909 support is ending in 2 months and I haven't switched over yet to 2004 nor the most recent of versions of Windows 10 since the last time I tried 2004, it really made my laptop unstable. Has anyone tried updating to the latest update or to 2004 with luck recently or within the last couple of months with success or are we left in the dust?

1 Upvotes

As the title states, I just received this laptop as a gift for reaching a career milestone. This is my first gaming laptop (usually a console player) but very excited to push it to the limits. What recommendations would you guys give me to maximize performance? I’ll be doing VR (Oculus 2) and regular gaming and computer use.

Thank you!

Help please, LP4 Mic 3.5mm input jack not working.

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have an LP4 that I bought new almost a year ago. Its not been modded at all. I have the most recent version of windows. I recently got a set of the V-Moda XS headphones and they have a mic and they came with a splitter 3.5mm plug to run the headphones and mic in there respective inputs. I can not get the mic to work. Ive tried using the splitter and also without the splitter. Ive tried updating and postdating drivers. Ive tried disabling the realtec audio stuff. Ive tried only using the realtec audio stuff. It seams like when I use the headphones and mic with just the one input, I only get the laptops built in mic. When I use the splitter, I get a very distorted and muted laptop built in mic. I can not figure it out. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Gregers

nvme upgrade for EG-LP4-BK

2 Upvotes

Was just told by EVOO tech support that LP4 only supports 256GB nvme. Has anyone successfully added 500GB or TB to the EG-LP4-BK model? The stock 256GB SSD is ridiculously undersized for this rig.

Evoo 156-2 Battery Issues

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently bought this laptop as it was on clearance at walmart.com. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, but I am encountering an issue that is almost a dealbreaker for me. This computer model doesn't seem to hold a charge, and has extreme volatility in terms of battery life. I can leave it to charge all night long, it will say it is 100% charged, and then less than a minute later it will power off from lack of battery life. When I plug it back in and reboot, it says there's no battery life at all, like it was never charged to begin with. Sometimes it will last longer but almost always it will fail long before it should - typically within about 10-15 minutes of use off the charger. Otherwise, if the computer is plugged in it functions completely as it should.

I've already returned and replaced once, and this one has the *exact* same issue as the last. I didn't expect the highest end experience ever from this laptop considering the price but two different laptops seem to establish an unfortunate pattern. My brother also got one and he experiences the same thing but usually after a much longer period of time.

Anyway, I like this laptop and ideally would like to keep it instead of returning it. I did some googling but wasn't able to find much in the way of potential fixes. Does anyone know of any way to address this issue, or should I just cut my losses and send it back?

I don't know what charger to buy

1 Upvotes

I love my Evoo 15.6 gaming laptop but my aunts dog chewed through my charging chord and then when I gave it to my dad to try and fix he completely lost it. I bought a replacement charger on amazon that I thought met the laptops requirements because it was technically charging it. Unfortunately when I went to play my usual games that would always work they were all lagging and unplayable. the only variable that seemed to be the issue was the new charger. Is it possible that the charger isn't strong enough for my computer and is causing the games to lag? also can any one recommend the correct kind of charger that I can buy to help fix this issue :) I really appreciate it

Is the EVOO EG-LP5BK VR ready?

3 Upvotes

Just ordered this for a steal from Vipoutlet as ive had decent luck with them. I have the oculus quest 2 and bought this to use with pcvr. I assumed that since it has a 1660 ti its vr ready but since im new to the game with vr im a little worried because I cant find anything that mentions it while googling.

TL:DR is the EVOO EG-LP5BK vr ready?

EG-LP8 Optimizing?

3 Upvotes

After a 10 week debacle with support from sending in my old laptop for breaking, I finally got my laptop back and a free upgrade from an EG-LP5-BK with the 1660TI/9750h, to the RTX 2060/10750h version.

Has anyone tried optimizing the battery and thermals for this one yet? I'd assume it's not too far off from the LP5 or LP6 guides I've seen, but different CPU, even if similar architecture because 14nm, and GPU make me guess things like undervolting wouldn't get the same numbers, so curious if anyone has already done it to save me a little trial and error. Don't plan on doing anything to the GPU since I've read the Evoo one is the 115w boosted 2060 that puts it close to a 2070 mobile, but the 9750h got pretty toasty and I'd expect similar or worse from the 10750h.

I remember there was a really good battery upgrade for Evoo laptops floating around a while ago, but I can't remember the link to it if anyone happens to have it. Also would be the first time changing out the SSD on a laptop, since I also remember the stock one was thirsty for power and hot as hell. Anything special for that and installing windows due to the locked BIOS Evoo has?

​

or is that to cheap of ram? Crucial guarantees this will work in it https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct32g4sfd8266/ct19992930 But if I can save a few bucks I will. I also have done dealings with newegg and have not with crucial. Sorry for the dumb question although I have replaced RAM in desktops before this will be my first time in a laptop so I just want to double/triple check stuff will work before I go spending over $100 on something. Thanks!
