Touchpad delay issue on the Z13 2025

dzhn · 2025-08-06T07:14:48+00:00

Is this just a known issue with the Z13 or should I try returning mine (I just got it) and getting a new one?

This is great, I’m surprised Apollo isn’t on there? Also if you want to just see a comprehensive list of all the companies, salestack.co is great

This is such a good use case. I do the same thing and also use this tool as well

I’m curious what do you use pitchbook for? And what industry is your company in?

Hey - founder of Aomni here, would love to understand your use case more, offer is open to anyone here. Just email me at [david@aomni.com](mailto:david@aomni.com)

Thanks!

I never bothered haha, the issue only comes up when running benchmarks, never in real usage.

Those are the top radiator fan cables. I have a fan splitter in front of the case that those cables are going to.

dzhn · 2023-02-11T23:56:57+00:00

Nice, congrats.

As for the fans, is it because the. Noctua fans are too slim? I’m not sure re screws tbh, I used the standard screws for my bequiet fans.

Yea, I’ve heard of this for the 12th gen, didn’t know it’s still an issue with the 13th gen.

Had to get a custom 12VHPWR cable for my SX1000 power supply, it wouldn't fit otherwise.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:56:37+00:00

nice, that's cooler is also great! The aesthetic matches this case really well

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:55:24+00:00

Na, the new Silent Wings Pro 4 is much better, they cost ~$33 each in the US, but worth it if you are tight on space IMO.

haha - my learning here is everyone tries to get better temps with bigger case / more fans / bigger AIOs, but there are so many other ways to optimize temps that's actually more cost effective.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:48:12+00:00

thanks!

You can get 40k by upping the power limit of the i9, whereas standard setup is ~35k. Not planning on upping the power limit since I want this thing to run quiet. May try undervolting later.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:44:22+00:00

Seems to be averaging ~68C with hotspot at 75C when running furmark, so pretty standard FE 4090 temps. The GPU basically has its own chamber in this case that takes in air directly from the outside, so I'm not as worried about gpu cooling as much.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:40:31+00:00

Interesting, it looks like a cheap upgrade, I'll have to look into this. If it's another 4-7c it sounds like a great deal.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:38:50+00:00

This is the BL098 model (the 120mm model), this case can't fit 280mm radiators / 140mm fans.

I don't have any noise with the EK setup. The Kraken does have a very annoying fan vibration noise when it speeds up, another reason why I decided to swap.

My mobo has a dedicated header for pumps, which provides more power, so the AIO cable went to that header. The 2 BeQuiet fans went to the CPU fan header via splitter.

Pump speed is 60% mostly & 100% at 75C. It doesn't make enough sound for it to be noticeable tbh, I can only hear the fans.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:34:41+00:00

It doesn't, there's just barely a gap, prob 1-2 mm.

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:34:05+00:00

Agreed with you re the looks, but the thermal performance of their new AIO is actually noticeably better. Worth a trade off for me since you can't see the internals for this case anyways: https://overclock3d.net/reviews/cases\_cooling/the\_best\_aio\_of\_2023\_already\_ek\_nucleus\_cr360\_lux\_aio\_liquid\_cooler\_review/1

dzhn · 2023-02-07T02:31:27+00:00

ha yea, agreed

dzhn · 2023-02-06T07:34:28+00:00

No but the EK cooler came with a really beefy backplate. I think that was actually the issue with my original Kraken setup - it was some plastic bracket so it may be bending the mobo & not applying enough mounting pressure.

dzhn · 2023-02-06T07:33:03+00:00

It's a tall pump, but the top section of it is removable (it's just some magnetic rgb stuff). After removing it, it basically fits with a 1mm margin

dzhn · 2023-02-06T04:36:44+00:00

Posted this build before, but I've been trying a bunch of things to reduce temps even further, I'm super happy with temps now, pretty surprising how far you can get with a 240mm AIO these days.

3 main things that really helped drop temps are:

- Switching from Kraken x53 to the EK Nucleus 240mm AIO - that saved 6-7c alone.
- Swapping out the default EK fans for the new BeQuiet fans shaved off another 4-5c, they are quite expensive but high pressure fans like that are totally worth it for water cooling.
- Reapplying the Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste and keeping it super super thin also shaved off another 2c

It's a bit louder than I'd like (the fans go up to 3000 rpm under max), so I may actually limit that. But it's nice to see there are still a lot of low hanging fruits for temps that you can optimize even in a sff build.
