Maximum temperatures were determined to be 83 and 84 °C for the CPU and GPU, respectively.
Using the new Control Center to manually overclock was a total bust for me. However, yellow and orange colors remained somewhat oversaturated. The design can best be described as futuristic and square-edged, with distinct accentuations such as the eye-catching power button or the ragged and broken-up surface texture.
This refreshed version brings back the 'Performance Profile' selection item. Schenker, a German gaming laptop maker today announced that their new XMG APEX 15 laptop will support AMD Ryzen 9 processors. It was equipped with an Intel Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, a conventional 60 Hz FHD display without G-Sync, a 256 GB SSD, a 1 TB HDD, and the operating system most commonly found on gaming notebooks: Windows 10 Home. All things considered, we can attest the Apex 15’s GeForce GTX 1060 a consistent above-average performance. Please note that comments that attack or harass an individual directly will be deleted and such comments will result in a ban. How does the GTX 1060 fare against its competitors? In fact they were so high that the built-in 256 GB Samsung SSD turned out to be one of the fastest singular SSDs in our database. The actual delta depends on test scenario and was anywhere between 27% (H.264) and 79% (Idle). All gaming notebooks in our test group except for - you guessed it: the HP Omen - featured a striking low black level. In our real-world gaming benchmark (The Witcher 3) the Apex started out at 39 to 41 fps and subsequently dropped to 37-39 fps.
First off, the settings in the BIOS do nothing.
XMG APEX 15 has so much power that I'd suggest to run it permanently in 'Quiet' mode in everyday life. The only area with room for improvement was 3D performance. Through calibration we were able to lower DeltaE values to 1.49 and 2.51 for grayscale and colors, respectively.
On the plus side, the speakers did not distort and neither was their soundscape particularly shrill. As one of the lightest 15.6-inch notebooks ever, the XMG FUSION 15 weighs in at a mere 1.89 kg. What I really wanted in a BIOS, aside from memory tuning, was a way to set an undervolt in BIOS as a kind of governor for Ryzen Master PBO to limit the voltage/temp spikes and associated fan cycling.
As can be seen in the photo below one gets access to the CPU fan, the M.2 slots for SSDs (one free), the two RAM slots (both used), the 2.5-inch hard disk drive, and the Wi-Fi module.
But to end this chapter on a more positive note: The display can be opened one-handed. The Coffee Lake CPU is thus capable of utilizing its turbo boost potential in realistic high-load scenarios over a prolonged period of time. We have uploaded an "_r2" version which brings back the 'Performance Profile Select' menu item. All things considered the Apex 15 looks like a regular mid-range gaming notebook.
Under maximum load the fan noise was very present and forceful, albeit not particularly annoying despite the aforementioned whistling noise.
This whistling noise was also present with higher fan speeds caused by running our Prime95 + FurMark stress test.
This item is mostly aimed at Linux users who cannot run our Control Center.
With the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X model, the top configuration utilizes the current performance king in this class, delivering permanently high performance thanks to the first-class notebook cooling.
The previous one was tweaked by you guys based on user/reviewer feedback and it was a lot better spaced for each of the power profiles. Yes, this BIOS will work on every unit of XMG APEX 15 (2020), no matter which production date. Link was correct. The "_r2" indicator only shows in the filename - it does not show in the displayed version number after updating the BIOS. frequency)Highs 2 - 16 kHz(+) | balanced highs - only 1.9% away from median(±) | linearity of highs is average (7.5% delta to prev. I know it is a newbie question, but here it goes: is it safe to update the EC to this if the BIOS 1.07.07TR1 is already flashed? The Pascal core with 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM is after all still the fastest GPU available after the GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and their respective Max-Q variants.
28 June 2020 / #work #ryzen #xmg apex 15 #level51 forge 15r #clevo nh57af1 Installing Ubuntu 20.04 Focal On the Clevo NH57AF1 aka XMG Apex 15 Ryzen / Forge 15r TLDR; Ubuntu runs great on the 3900X + nVidia GTX 2070 combo, but you need to make a few tweaks to the installation process as well as do some quality of life fixes post-installation. Which would be OK if it worked, but it doesn't enforce the PBO PPT limits and uses WAY more power, a bad combination. Same weight and dimensions, but the Apex 15 has support for more memory, faster CPU and a desktop-grade GPU. If only it wasn’t for the poor display lid design. This means that AMD's Ryzen 9 3950X can run using its 65W Eco Mode, …
As is the case with most gaming notebooks, key travel is fairly generous with a decent accentuation point and a noticeably suspended keystroke. Overall, the Clevo XMG Apex 15 looks better, on paper at least.
Please click on the "FAQ and Index" link for further information. Wir testen das Schenker XMG Apex 15 in der Konfiguration mit Ryzen 9 3900, GeForce RTX 2070 und 144-Hz-Panel. Thus, the Apex 15’s low power consumption and long battery life were definitely positive aspects. I'm using Linux most of the time and I have to use shitty Windows just to set the power mode now! In the example of this BIOS, execute NH50Ax_07RTR1.efi in EFI Shell. Brightness distribution was slightly above average (91%) and when looking at a not particularly luscious black image in a dark room we noticed some light bleeding in the left and right corners that changed and got worse once we started moving or applied pressure to the wobbly display lid. Thank you for pointing it out. For more details, check out Schenker’s online store.
Please share our article, every link counts! Please Clevo, give us actual REAL hardware level control over voltage (and NOT the 0.975-1.55V desktop spread in 1.07.07) and memory timings too!
Thus, with some diligence the Schenker XMG Apex 15 is usable outdoors even on a sunny day.
The latter also supports G-Sync-compatible displays; the second DP 1.2 port supports Optimus in return. Running the browser benchmark Kraken 1.1 resulted in a continuous increase of fan speed to medium levels starting after around eight seconds.
The Schenker XMG Apex 15 is a high-performance laptop with a hexa-core CPU and support for Hyper-Threading that no current game will be able to bring to its knees. While we simply cannot understand what choices led to this poor design the device still deserves our full endorsement. That being said, when left untouched the bright areas on the display were only visible with dark content on the screen. The first iteration yielded an impressive 1,215 points, which subsequently dropped to a low of 1,080 points constituting a 3% decrease. When idle the fan was off most of the time, and we were only able to hear the hard drive's humming noise. In Cinebench R15’s single-thread test, the older CPU was up to 23% faster thanks to its higher boost speeds.
Added a new EC update to the OP. it's like this was made for a desktop and severely limits its usefulness on a laptop. Other than that, the differences are rather minimal. Dynamic range and auditory spaciousness were practically non-existent and several high-pitched instruments (think Metal music for example) tended to blend and mash. Among others, it features 2x USB 3.1 Gen 2 and 2x DisplayPort. We did not notice any color distortions whatsoever. After all, faster GPUs are available. Thanks to 12 threads, plenty of RAM, and a fast SSD, the Apex is made for highly parallelized workloads such as Adobe’s Premiere video-editing software. There are no model-specific accessories for the XMG Apex 15.
The keyboard layout is pretty standard save for one exception: Due to the placement of the right arrow key the numpad’s 0 key had to be cut in half vertically. The Apex lasted for 5.5 hours in our real-world Wi-Fi test - for office notebooks, we usually expect a runtime of around 10 hours. Instructions: Please follow the PDF in this package for EC and BIOS Update via EFI Shell. Both dedicated mouse buttons seemed a bit rickety and shallow but offered a subjectively well-balanced and somewhat firm resistance and a pleasant acoustic feedback in return. DeltaE deviations of less than 3 are usually not visible to the naked eye. With moist fingers, the not particularly large conventional touchpad’s smoothness decreased dramatically. While performing our tests, we chose the preselected entertainment mode in the Control Center.
The display also distorted quite heavily. Exception: some newer models don't use NSH files anymore. The MSI GE63VR Raider was just as large as the Core 15 but around 200 g lighter. Cinebench R10 Rendering Multiple CPUs 32Bit, Power Supply (max.) Control Center 3.0 v3.02.
It bends very easily in the middle and creaks quite heavily while doing so.
We were able to warp the seemingly solid base with some force, which caused an unobtrusive yet hard to define sound.
This combination requires a power supply of 230 Watts. However, gaming notebooks are usually placed on tables, so the palm rest’s temperatures are much more important. frequency)Highs 2 - 16 kHz(+) | balanced highs - only 3.1% away from median(+) | highs are linear (4.7% delta to prev. In our personal opinion this is more of a design flaw rather than a singular quality issue, and it is most likely going to be present on every single device. If you don't need this 'Performance Profile' selection item in the BIOS, you don't need to update from 1.07.07RTR1 to 1.07.07RTR1_r2 again. The temperatures were inconspicuous in low load scenarios and when the device was idle.
A configuration with Ryzen 9 3950X, RTX 2070, 32GB of 2666 MHz RAM and 1TB NVME drive cost 2631 EUR. We were unfortunately surprised at the poorly designed display lid. The base’s top cover and display lid feature a smooth and silky finish instead which, fortunately, was not particularly susceptible to fingerprints. Taking a step back and looking at the big picture of all gaming notebooks the Apex 15 performed significantly above average. Nevertheless, it does a fairly good job. I hope it also fully works better on my new Apex 15 which is on the way.
However, the i7-8700 practically wiped the floor with its Kaby Lake competitor in the multithread test and was up to 68% faster thanks to its extra cores and its higher TDP. These results are impressive and most likely due to the slightly higher (turbo boost) frequency. Check our Privacy and Cookie Policy for details.
Accordingly, every single one of the notebooks in our test group, save for the HP Omen, end up below the 300 nits threshold.
In addition to the blazingly fast hexa-core CPU the notebook’s connectivity deserves praise as well. The device with the largest footprint in our comparison group was HP’s Omen. PCMark 8 is an older benchmark tool, and unfortunately it has not aged particularly well.
It will also feature NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 dedicated graphics (there is no mention of Max-Q design).
