[Windows 8 General] Chaosgod27:
Actually you may have read my post instead about the CPU being no more than 0.8GHz. Just go into your BIOS and change into configurable TDP to cTDP down. I also changed TDP lock and automatic thermal reporting to disable. It allowed my tablet to never go over 60C with both CPU&GPU stressed out using stress test programs.

If you read my posts from page 83-84, you would get more details and some images of my testing I had done.

Also yes you could damage your CPU using if you overvolt it, not undervolting. Undervolting would just cause your tablet to either freeze up or reset as your CPU/GPU does not get enough power.

Same principle applies when you're using offset as well.

Is it safe to remove that 6.35gb recovery partition? I could use the space tbh.
[Windows 8 General] Chaosgod27:
I don't see why not, unless you're unsure on how to reinstall Windows or booting from USB drives then I would recommend against it.

Edit:

Also just to be sure, make sure the recovery partition isn't the masterboot record for Windows. Since if you delete that, you won't be able to boot to Windows until you repaired it using either Windows recovery via a recovery option (USB, recovery partition, disk, etc) or some recovery program/OS like one of the Linux distros. It's pretty relatively to restore, but if you're unsure, then don't do it.
[Windows 8 General] icsoft:
Just to clarify, UEFI booting which the cube is, does not use a MBR, the BIOS loads into the UEFI partition and which is really a very small DOS by itself like GRUB in Linux, this then calls the loader on the partition that it wants to boot, for example usually the windows loader is in FS0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTIA64.EFI for a filesystem that has partition 0 as the EFI and you are booting a 64 bit OS.

Unfortunately with KMSpico

Konichiwa shunsai,

my Cube arrived on Monday (very fast with PostNL to Germany), unfortunately with a non genuines illegal windows pro license by KMSpico (danke Wootever for 'Open command prompt and type 'slmgr -dlv' ...'!).

Today banggood Customer Service answered me: "You can try to use this tool https://copy.com/N0YQbLjQNoF8dHNN".

Haha, the "Tool" is the KMSpico - stupid. We will see what happend - wish you luck.
[Windows 8 General] shunsai:
Yeah, that's really disturbing. Banggood changed the product page within the last week; instead of pictures of Windows 8.1 with Bing (as it was when I purchased), they're now showing pics of Windows 10 Enterprise. And from what I've read, KMS activation only lasts for 180 days. So it seems they're hoping by the time their customers realize something is fishy about their copy of Windows, it will be well past the dispute-period. I'm waiting till mine arrives, but I'm preparing to fire back with guns blazing just in case.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

I successfully installed latest BIOS (Mod with Eng logo), latest ME Update [1024], and both Core Driver package (25.08.2015) and Intel Graphics Driver [4278]. (all from 1st post)

But I keep getting error at the end of installation of Realtek Audio Driver [7600] from 1st post. Error Code : 0xE0000244

I tried to run it as admin and same thing, downloaded again and it didn't help.

I am on Win 8.1 with Bing (one that you sent me, I installed latest priority updates).

Since the key from dispute didn't work (I got refund already so it is ok), I am going to format and Install Win Core 8.1 "N" version. (the one for EU market, without media center, player, skype etc.)

So do you have any advice how to successfully install Realtek Audio Driver [7600] from 1st post?

I didn't install anything from 2nd post, do I need to install any of that?

Thanks!

EDIT: I also installed EC and Wacom firmwares from 2nd post, and now stylus is completely f****d up!

I don't know if drivers from 1st post are problem or Wacom firmware because I tested it after installing all, but I tried calibrating and still it is off by at least 2mm.

So now I have problems both with Audio driver and stylus.. damn this tablet gives me headache!

P.S. You made a mistake in instructions for EC firmware [V30], it should write "ifu fs2:v030.bin" instead of "ifu fs2:v30.bin" (btw should I delete ifu.efi and V030.bin after updating firmware?)
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
I have specific question. I know that our Cube is powered by 12V and by jack, not USB slot. But... It's possible to use something like this?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Qual...e-2-0-18W-USB-Turbo-Wall/32352104854.html?s=p

Qualcomm Aukey. I know that there is USB slot for charge and it's 1,5A not 2,5A. But beside this, will it work?
[Windows 8 General] Chaosgod27:
[MENTION=456923]shunsai[/MENTION] & [MENTION=6931079]robinrobb[/MENTION] sadly it seems to be Cube's fault for those KMS-pico activated Windows. It's because Cube only has the single language Chinese edition OEM licenses for the i7 stylus.

You're not meant to install the firmware and drivers from the second post. Everything you needed was on the first one.

It's still USB so it's 5V not 12V.

Edit: Maybe, just looked at the charger. If you get the right adapter head for the DC 12V input you could possibly charge it. Definitely not via USB though, I believe [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] said there is not charging input for the USB.
[Windows 8 General] ajdeneka:
[MENTION=4816244]Chaosgod[/MENTION] if I understood firmwares from second post were for keyboard and stylus. Why you say I wasn't meant to install them?

Something is definitely not right here, sometimes when I power on or reboot tablet I am getting Windows Security Warning asking permission to run Wacom drivers (if I'm not wrong), and also few seconds later another notification pops up saying "The tablet driver is not running"

I uploaded screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/kCNLzph.jpg

Why is this happening? I sucesfully installed all firmwares and drivers form first post (except Realtek audio driver) and both firmwares from second post.
[Windows 8 General] KoryandR:
As I see in one of the photos, when the adapter provides 12V it's only 1.5A so maybe it's a very slow charging... :confused:
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=6862588]ajdeneka[/MENTION]

Those drivers on Post #1 are Windows 10 compatible only, use the legacy Windows 8.1 driver pack in Post #2.

Indeed, the "Reference" marked firmware is only meant as a section for outdated firmware tools.

Yes, it needs 12V input voltage via the DC connector. However it seems Core M also includes some kind of quick-charge function, it is located in the Bios -> Chipset -> PCH-IO Configuration -> EC Turbo Control Mode (not tested).

Dell Venue pro 7140

How does this compare to the Dell Venue Pro 7140, in terms of build quality, sound and other aspects?

If anyone knows, I found some at good price and it seems much more reliable than this chinese tricky manufactered tablet..

Regards
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
I'd say that the build quality of the Cube is actually better than the Dell. The Dell feel quite plasticy.

TBH, if you want a device that just works, straight out of the box with the backup of a major vendor's support then buy the Dell.

I was happy to fiddle and fit a bigger SSD, mess with drivers etc so the Cube represents excellent value to me.
[Windows 8 General] AndroAsc:
For those who have configured the TDP and clock speed of the Core M CPU, how much extra battery life do you get?
[Windows 8 General] shunsai:
According to the CSR at banggood I just chatted with, mine should be arriving with Windows 10. I'm really anxious :fingers-crossed: as to whether mine is going to have a hacked copy of Windows, as quite a few have been reporting lately. If that's the case, I don't think it will make sense to install the Windows 8.1 with Bing image posted a few pages back. Has anyone received one with Windows 10 pre-installed yet?

My thinking is that if it is a bootleg English version that hopefully I can get the genuine key from the seller, and then follow this guide to change from Single Language Chinese to Single Language English. Has anyone had success switching Single Language versions?

Can you provid us a link to that ssd you used?

Thanks again

[Windows 8 General] alessio9899:
Reducing tdp limits decrease heat and also performance of the device?
[Windows 8 General] The-Lord:
Yeah. That is a 2242 SSD. perfect fit in the tablet after removing the old one. It is better in performance compared to the old 64GB one The benchmark for the 64GB one is available on techtablets review.

I am not sure if I am allowed to link sales websites. If it is not allowed, requesting mods to remove it. I bought it from here:

Where is the cheapest site to buy this from?
[Windows 8 General] dodongobongo:
Received mine today with Chinese language edition. Attempted this trick to change into English, but ended up with Windows 10 unable to boot. Luckily I have a Windows 8.1 Pro license, so I'm installing that at the moment.
[Windows 8 General] baha76_s:
Sorry no software solutions, I don't know about hardware solution.

I contacted the seller and after some "give and take discussion" ? he accepted to re-send me another keyboard and I already received it yesterday ? and it worked perfectly.

So I think the best solution is to do a small video demonstration of the keyboard problem to cube store to refund you or re-send you another one.

Thanks

Sorry to clutter the thread with posts before ever even receiving mine (still waiting on Flyt Express to ship from China to Japan), but does this mean that there is no way to have a legit English version of this tablet unless you pony up the cash for a Pro license? Not even clean-installing the Windows 10 Single Language English version will work?
[Windows 8 General] tppost:
Well that worked for me. I did a clean install of Windows 10 pro. Deleted the recovery and windows partition and installed in the empty disk space. Skipped all pages where a product code had to be entered and ended up with a permanently activated Windows 10 pro! It might work for you!
[Windows 8 General] shunsai:
I'm curious- how can people tell if activation is permanent? As far as I have seen, Windows 10 just says 'Windows is activated.'

I have 10 on one of my other laptops, and where as at some point it said 'Windows is activated' later it changed to a message telling me the key would expire in January. Tppost, how are you sure yours is permanent? What version of Windows did your i7 stylus come with?
[Windows 8 General] tppost:
Type in command window: slmgr -xpr

My Cube i7 stylus came with Windows 8.1 that was activated with KMSpico. I complained about it to Cube and got a modest refund.

All in all I'm pretty satisfied with the whole deal. The tablet works quite well. The only thing that really doesn't work is Bluetooth, but I can live with that. Maybe a better driver will solve that, one day.
[Windows 8 General] MatanYeho:
Thank you for your answer,

It was difficult to disassemble the tablet? there is something that can break when you open it?

Best regards,
[Windows 8 General] The-Lord:
If you have never done something like this before, it might be tricky for you. It was easy for me as I have done this multiple times with different phones and tablets with the right tools.
[Windows 8 General] MatanYeho:
I done something like this and have the tools. I will buy the ssd and do it too :)

Clean windows 10 pro (after format ssd), up-to-date all, install all drivers from first page (for win10), update modified bios, and with all these steps, i reboot the tablet after every step installed.

No I knew the problem is keyboard hardware not software one.

I had the same problem and this registry file fixed it.
[Windows 8 General] dodongobongo:
Okay, this thing is great, but it runs really hot. I have lowered the thermal design power and boost time as suggested by [MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]. Regardless of this the package temperature reaches almost 60 degrees while idle. Is it the same for everyone else? That said I find it strange that the CPU cores can stay 20 degrees below package temperature. What is producing the heat, if not the CPU?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=5931306]dodongobongo[/MENTION]

I made a clean Windows install on a brand new device and also noticed some intense temperatures (CPU core showed 90C°).

It seems to be caused by inefficient thermal pads, especially the cpu pad is very weak and will crumble into pieces as soon as you touch it:

And the upper thermal pads, which are meant to dissipate heat up to the metal backcover are also... rather economical:

Edit:

I replaced all thermal pads with some more high-grade ones (6,0 W/mK).

The device is also limited to 4.5W / 1.25sec and has some minor undervolting.

3DMark11 scores P848 and the cpu shows a max temperature of ~70C°.

Unfortunately i didn't made any prior tests for comparison, but as the core already reached 90C° just on windows update, i'm pretty confident that this small changes caused some major improvement.

Update and solution for battery drain during shutdown

In case someone else has this issue. I updated my firmware and Intel ME to those provided in this thread and started noticing a 7% battery drain during a proper 12h shutdown. It seems that the Intel ME firmware/drivers were the cause. I updated to the latest firmware and drivers from intel's website (the 1.5M firmware version and matching 10.* drivers) and the problem resolved.
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
I had the same on my Teclast tablet and used a REG file, called GSensor.reg or something.

Here are settings in registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]

“Orientation”=hex:01,00,00,01,01,00,02
[Windows 8 General] ajdeneka:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] yesterday I opened few tabs and it was already on 80 degrees, this is really unacceptable.

What do you think should be the best option to reduce heat, no matter how difficult and no matter how expensive?

Are thermal pads best solution for transferring the heat from cpu to cooling plate or it would be better to modify plate to sit tightly on cpu and just put some thermal compound in between?

I want to use this tablet as a gaming tablet with ipega pg-9023 gamepad, so I need to modify heatsink in best way possible.

What about the solution we already talked about before?

If you remember, to cut that aluminum plate in positions of cpu and other critical positions. Then to place copper plates in that positions, and to place another aluminum plate on top of everything. Regarding joining and securing all plates together I will think of something, maybe tiny rivets or maybe to pay someone to braze all together. I just watched brazing copper to aluminum videos and it is quick and easy and it shouldn't be expensive to pay someone for that.

So I am thinking thermal compound on cpu and then this modified copper-aluminum plate that sits tightly on top of everything.

Is this best solution?
[Windows 8 General] RagsJV:

Indeed, i found another solution which writes data direct to the MSR (model-specific register, those are responsible for the CPU TDP limit) via RWEverything.

It is far more lightweight and also more reliable than Intel XTU.

(Note: this is only a proof of concept file, which needs the Package Lock disabled to function properly)

Download, extract it and run Rw.cmd
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
Thanks, I will try to fresh install Win 8.1 and install all this drivers, I hope it will help.

Guys!

Do you also have battery drain when the tablet is turned off?

Please make a quick and easy test - write down on paper battery percentage, turn off the device before you go to sleep and in the morning turn it on and check battery percentage. And of course write the time and percentage here in this topic!

Maybe someone found a combination of BIOS, firmware and drivers which stops battery drain when turned off.

It's really annoying that I switch off the tablet and after a few days a half of battery is gone... :(

Edit:

The bios (fortunately) hasn't any checksum protection, i could probably edit the acpi table to set an correct identifier for the wacom device (this should fix the code 10 error with the original signed driver).

The bios lock is now disabled by default which makes future upgrading more easier (manually reboot into bios and disable this setting is now obsolete) and i replaced the chinese Cube bootlogo with an english one that also fits the windows 8.1/10 theme:
