So my girlfriends phone has been lately getting really hot, especially while charging and draining the battery real quick. Like from 70% one minute to 28% the next minute. It started about a week ago, i uninstalled all useless apps and did a factory reset and it didn't help. Is this the dreaded snapdragon 810 heat issue? could this be a crappy sony update? Has anyone else gone through this?.. Ty xoxo

So i heard about the 810's overheating problem. I'm looking into getting a new phone too. SO......... v2.1 is supposed to have fixed that, so qualcom says. Any thoughts?

I'm wondering about the G810. I'm really interested in it because of how good it looks, quality of software, etc. Could anybody who was the G810 or a similar keyboard tell me what it's like? I can't find many reviews and want LTT approval.

Didn't Xiaomi/Meizu say that for one of theirs and then fail to deliver? Sony is currently failing with the Z3+/Z4. We all know that HTC was the first to fall on the SD810 sword. Very hard to take what anyone says about solving the 810s heat issues seriously when the chip just plain overheats and hampers the experience no matter how it gets used. At this point I'm thinking that even a gigantic tablet with all the room it has for thermal dissipation would also have trouble keeping this chip under control.

(source: http://pocketnow.com/2015/06/09/snapdragon-810-v2-1) A new variant of the snapdragon 810 has been spotted in the wild. The snapdragon 810 was blamed for the overheating in the one M9 and the LG flex 2, but Qualcomm has denied these claims. Some tech press websites claim that the snapdragon 810 overheats after long use like ars techinca ( http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/04/in-depth-with-the-snapdragon-810s-heat-problems/). A graph from ars techinca showing the throttling in the LG flex 2 It's reported that the new variant could aim to reduce these issues

Given the severity of the problems and lack of a clear solution, Qualcomm is reportedly telling OEMs to expect delays. The report goes on to state that several OEMs' flagship products may be delayed to Q2 2015 due to these woes. So device like Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4, Sony Xperia Z4 and HTC One (M9) (2015) may suffer a similar fate. Why is Qualcomm struggling? The switch from its in-house designed Krait 450 cores to Cortex A57 and A53 cores, third-party designs licensed by ARM . The Snapdragon 810 is an octacore chip that was expected to target high clock speeds. It packs a quad-core Cortex-A53 module and a quad-core Cortex-A57 module, in ARM's big.LITTLE configuration. So it would certainly seem the new, none in-house cores could be one potential pitfall. Perhaps the best guess at this point is that some of Qualcomm' struggles with the Snapdragon design like on the semiconductor process front. The Snapdragon 810 will be Qualcomm's first majors attempt at a 20 nm. Its fab partners have clearly struggled somewhat with the 20 nm node, which had repercussions for not only the mobile market, but the PC GPU market, and game console markets as well. So what does this means? It means Tegra and Mediatek devices will be out first before the 810. SnapDragon 808 to be release first before 810. meaning Devices that will be announce in Q1 2015, will most probably be packing SnapDragon 808.

Have the switch 810 case been discontinued? I always look for one in black or gunmetal but I never find any in stock (only white). I really wanted this case for my next build, but if it has been discontinued any cases recommended that's good with custom water cooling loops and plenty of space would be appreciated.

Haemato -a zak2501 build I was originally inspired to build a water cooling computer from many designs that incorporated white cases with red blood colored coolant in clear tubing. Out of all the designs that stood out to me the most. So I wanted my first water cooled build to incorporate that design scheme. So I decided to turn my existing air cooled computer into a water cooled computer. Computer part list: 1366 Intel i7 950 X58 Asus Sabertooth 18gb DDR3 3x2gb 3x4gb (3x4gb was bought later as an upgrade) GTX 670 4gb (buying another one soon) 256gb Vertex 4 SSD - Windows 8.1 1tb & 2tb WD HDD - storage 3tb SG External HDD - more storage LG Blu-ray Writer G-Vans 6 x 30w Touch Screen Fan Controller Corsair AX1200 PSU I started out with a Corsair 800D back in 2010. I took it apart rivet by rivet and attempted to paint the WHOLE case white. I spent 6 hours spray painting and clear coating in my garage. In the end it didn't turn out as nice as I wanted it to. Here was the original mock up: After a year and a half accumulating my water cooling part the perfect water cooling tower came out... the nzxt switch 810. Better customization and I could put a 240 rad at the bottom without modding the case... and it was white! That was a HUGE plus, I didn't have to subject the case to my horrible painting lol so I tossed out the 800D and got to work on the Switch 810. Revised plan: Water cooling part list: RX360 & RX480 Radiator's Gentle typhoon 14 fans in Push/Pull Switftech Apogee XT CPU Block Ek-FC680 Nickel Plexi GPU Block EK-RAM Dominator x6 RAM Block Koolance RP-452X2 Dual Bay Reservoir 2 x D5 Pumps in serial Primochill 1/2in 3/4od clear tubing EK-Ekocoolant Blood Red Bitspower Compression & angled fittings At this point I found someone that does custom pedestals for the Switch 810's. I purchased one and waited 4 weeks for it to ship and slapped it together. (I put some extra box's I had laying around to make this picture look more impressive haha) It wasn't till a year has past since I bought the NZXT case I started the actual final build. (It took me that long to save up and get all the parts, but buy now the i7 950 was getting dated, more on that after.) Drainage and 480 rad in the pedestal: I ran into problems with my mockup, I didn't have the proper angled fittings to go from the 480 rad straight to the cpu so I put it into the ram block first. Starting to look bad behind there... Oh god what a nightmare! I wanted to finish this build in a day so the back of my case still looks like that. I'm really not that great at cable management. And the my first ever fill begins. I filled the res to the top, jumped the psu and switched it on. The pumps made a roaring loud noise and no fluid was moving, I panicked and shut it off. After an hour of research I learned that these reservoirs are hard to prime and you must turn and tilt your case every which way. I went ahead and tried to get liquid down the tubes as much as I can just by tilting the case. After turning the pumps on a few times the liquid finally started to move. I noticed a fitting was loose on the cpu block, I must of missed it with my clamp. I tightened it, I must of went over board cause the fitting broke right off. All of the red dye came poring out onto the case and my carpet >.< I quickly grabbed the empty liquid container and emptied the liquid. After a bit of damage control everything was fine but I had to buy another fitting. Leak test: I then added the rest of the gentle typhoon fans to the radiators after I had enough money to buy the rest. They jumped $10 dollars in price since when I first bought the first 7. They gained alot of popularity with water cooled radiators. "Can I play?" Stay tuned. I am switching out my mobo and cpu for MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming motherboard -Own Intel i7 4770k CPU -Own 2x8gb DDR3 RAM -Own A 2nd GTX 670 with waterblock -On order Bitspower 4DIMM Universal Ram Block -On order Koolance 380I CPU Block -On order I am then using the i7 950 as a streaming PC for twitch.tv here are the parts: (again I threw some extra boxes in there for dramatic effect ;D ) Thanks for your time let me know what you guys think of my first water cooled build.

Hi everyone! I am currently building a new gaming pc with a Kraken X60 and a switch 810 and I was wondering about the best way to mount the radiator (2 x 140mm) and the fans to get the best temps. Here's how I think I should do it: white = radiator location blue = airflow direction (don't pay attention to the left rad and the bottom rad and fans, as they aren't present in my case) As I would have 4 intakes and 1 exhaust only, it may not be very well balanced.... Tell me what you think! Thanks!!
