TONGFANG GK5CN5Z / GK5CN6Z / GK5CQ7Z / GK5CP0Z

Did the benchs with the laptop pluged in (180W supply and pl# are 55W and 65W).

Don't have throttle stop installed. Had control center 1.2.2.8, but I uninstalled, then repeadted ATTO and results were the same.

I think this is something related with the bios, just found this thread on intel foruns: https://forums.intel.com/s/question...-samsung-970-pro-on-nuc7i7dnke?language=en_US

 

Interesting. I do get roughly the same with CDM and AS SSD with my ADATA SX8200 though (2500-2600MB/s seq read). Oddly it is slower than my X1 is with the exact same drive (2800-3200MB/s).

 

You're running 1.05 from OP, right? I didn't test that bios because it doesn't have EFI boot install and I'm afraid of bricking the laptop.

 

If anyone is planing on buy a Tongfang laptop of any kind, I would wait until Jan 29 for the RTX versions to come out. GTX 1060 versions will most likely have a drop in price but not be completely removed yet.

 

Yes 1.05 on mine. What do you mean it doesn't have EFI boot install? Are you talking about having to install it via windows?

 

You will be hard pressed to beat the 799 deal from Walmart though.

 

Has anyone received their laptop back from overpowered support, I just sent mine in this week to get the screen panel replaced due to significant blacklight bleed and wanted to know if anyone got their laptop back from support.

 

Yes, correct.

 

Guys, I need some quick help. I just got the Samsung 970 GB to be installed as a 2nd drive. unfortunately i see the screws are missing in the box. does the OP laptop has any extra screws to install this SSD into slot#2 ? Can we get these screws in Lowes ? i need it immediately now.

 

I was under the impression that the 2nd M.2 slot has a screw in it that you use in case you install an additional drive. You should open it up and have a look.
