I can upload my backups (one is from the untouched chinese version and the other from after a fresh install and full drivers update but it could take long (both are 500Mb each). In the meantime, check sites like Station-Drivers (it’s a french site I use a lot but you can set language to En in the address bar).

Best of luck.

I have it working on mine and I think it was working out of the box, but I also remember seeing and enabling a USB-C support option in the BIOS.

If you need to go to BIOS, use the Advanced startup function (start menu > parameters > update & security > recovery ; then when in the advanced startup menu, go troubleshoot > advanced options > UEFI firmware settings and hit restart). Once in the BIOS, look for an USB-C support option and set Enabled, I hope it will work for you.

Well, finally I found the culprit !

It’s was the Destroy Windows 10 Spying that disabled a sensor-related function in Windows, luckily it allows to fix screen rotation in its options, so after a reboot everything is working as a charm. For those using alternative solutions such as O&O ShutUp10 this appears as an option that can be disabled too, so be careful !

So I did the mod, it went well compared to my x98 Pro (experience kicked in). Prying the tablet open was easy enough and scratch free, internals are very similar to i7 from the videos I watched to guide myself.

I used a shim (20*20*1) on the SoC, with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut compound, then another layer of compound on the EM shield’s bump to stick to the shim. Finally I filled the hollow in the shield with a small piece of thermal pad (Arctic, 1mm) that I pressed a lot to avoid creating a bulge, and then I covered the whole piece of metal with a large piece of pad. I couldn’t verify that the last layer of padding is touching the copper(ish?) plate glued to the back cover, but it didn’t bulge, nor made the reassembly hard, so I’m guessing it’s all good.

After a long session of installing stuff and gaming (Hearthstone) package was topping at 75°C, so it’s almost -25°C compared to my first measurement before mod. Huge downside, back cover gets burning as hell after gaming, I’ll need to get a flip cover to protect my hands/lap from that heat 🙁

But hey, I can overclock this now 🙂

Well, I lost my patience after a lot of research, went to soft reset, it works now, but the sensor fusion device is gone..

Edit : it didn’t work in the end, the rotation is gone again, and like the first time, it looks like Windows doesn’t display any options related to rotation, this is puzzling me. I think it’s pretty sure to say it’s not driver-related, it just happens after a few reboots when setting things up.

Hey, just got mine from Gearbest, got a fresh install on it and tried to push it in the red zone, got over 98-101°C on cores. Gonna make a mod this week-end (shim + pad) and see what happens !
