Aorus X5 V7, X7 V7, DT X7 all estimated for June release in USA

Well, based on your pleasant response, I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain to you why hot things next to hotter things cause them to be less efficient at dissipating heat than if the former was not present. Good luck with your.... issues.

I have not tried OCing the RAM as that usually yields negligible performance gains in most use cases unless paired with a iGPU (sounds like Fallout 4 is a huge outlier so I makes sense why you're looking into it). My RAM needs are around capacity for IDEs, VMs and RAM disks, and not so much speed. With that said, there's a thread here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...k-bios-overclock-memory.813203/#post-10671838 about unlocking the bios on x7 in order to overclock RAM, so that could be of interest to you.

 

Oh do tell more. I can buy you crayons and the colors you need. You still do not get the point i was making. But you have your nose so far in the air you cant see anything but your point of view. Hopefully you can engineer yourself out of it. Good luck with engineering stuff. Remember dont touch hot stuff. You might get burned. I learned that in 1st grade. Therefore hot things make colder things hotter if right next to them. Its hard to explain that to an engineer.

Didnt change the voltage in MSI AB

 

As anyone who has been in Alaska during the winter knows it's probably going to be about 75 in that room because it's cold out there and it's nice to get warm whereas in Texas during the summer they have their AC running and it's likely to be down in the sixties because it's dang hot out there which kinda messes up your example.

I don't feel like starting another post or doing a multi-quote so to move to other points. This is the coolest laptop I've owned in some time in the area of the wrist pads and I've got a drive in the expansion slot adding some heat of it's own on the one side. I'm going to shoot it with IR tomorrow during a gaming session to get a definitive heat number but for now I can say that even after extended gaming sessions mine is just warm enough so that I can say I detected warmth. When not gaming and just surfing the web by feel alone it seems to be similar in temperature to the desk it's sitting on. Just to keep myself honest I shot it just now and I got 77 for the desk and 80 for the wrist rest on both sides. It would seem my sense of temperature isn't overly accurate but certainly no eggs are going to be fried on my wrist rests. Because BS'ing on boards should be fun I'll mention I'm in AK right now and my room temp is 75.3 Fahrenheit, I don't know what the temp is outside but I'll venture that it's frickin cold. I don't remember what my undervolt is but for now it's enough to say it is undervolted on both the GPU and CPU and at stock clocks on both.

@tps3443 You may want to consider perusing some literature about refrigeration, pay attention to transferring energy from multiple heat sources into shared cooling systems of limited capacity.

Ready to get this thing!

My first laptop ever, so I may look in to some thermal and heat transfer literature. I stepped out on the enthusiast desktop segment.

 

So, I'm on my final step of getting the X5 V7 but I have one question. Since this laptop has a GTX 1070 with no Optimus, should I have any concerns if this is my primary computer for work over something that just has an onboard GPU? It'll be on probably for 8-9hr a day and I plan on running dual monitors off of it.

I didn't know if the extra heat and have it on for that long each day would reduce it's life or anything.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. Unless your work is putting it under constant gaming load.

If you need to be away from a plug it ahould be a concern. This really is a gaming desktop replacement. 2 hours battery life if you can really stretch it. it runs really hot no matter what. The keyboard stay relatively cool. The bottom gets hot.

If your qorking with it plugged in all the time its fine. If you dont mind hearing fan noise all the time either your fine.

Thanks for the info, everyone! X5 V7 is ordered and on the way!

 

So, I ordered the X5 V7 2 days ago via a seller on Amazon with Prime. It was supposed to be here tomorrow. Then it was pushed back to Thursday and again pushed back to Friday. Is there something going on with these laptops? I'm finding a lot of places are out of stock.

 

You purchased it from a seller not amazon directly. They dont have the reputation of amazon.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

 

Correct, but I'm having a hard time finding the laptop in stock anywhere. Just curious if there is a reason why.

 

Try Newegg?

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

 

They probably dont make many to begin with limited stock. Like the aero 15. Or they are in a change over period because bvidia is releasing a new gpu soon.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

 

Yeah, the only one I found on their site isn't being sold by them, is more expensive than other places, and would charge me sales tax since they have a "Will Call" in the same state I live in.

 

I just looked and amazon has them instock shipped and sold from amazon. Dont click on the sponsor link. The second listing.

The one for $2,299.00 and has 1 left it stock? Thats the one I ordered.

Edit: Actually, that may not be the one I ordered. When I tried to add that to my cart, it added tax. The one I actually ordered did not have tax.

Thats the 3K version. Looking for the 4K version. Thanks for checking, though! I'm going to give it another day. Just didn't know if anyone had the same experiences.

 

Well you didnt specify.

Get the 4K model. I just got mine. I paid $1,759 for mine shipped to the door. its a Aorus X7 V7 4KL4D, 7820hk, gtx1070, 32gb ddr4, 512gb ssd, 1tb hdd.

Ive had my Aorus x7 v7 4k pantone for about 5 days now. I just love it to death! This is really my first high end laptop. Great build quality, great cooling!


Absolutely ZERO Backlight bleeding on this IPS panel. Colors are phenomenal! The pixel density is like 288PPI on this 17" panel, so this is higher than a retina display. Viewing angles are just stupid good. I wanted the 1440P model. Because I was worried about how my games would run. But, turns out they all run very good at 4K. Ive got my GTX1070 at 1,910Mhz core/ And 9,200Mhz memory. The 7820HK is running right at 4.5Ghz, and my ring clock is 4.1Ghz. It runs about 22-60fps in anything 4k really. I do not run AA at all, only in some games like Fallout 4, there is a ton of stepping on grass and things still.

The screen is so good, its as if there is no layer between your graphics and your eyes! G sync makes the lower frames very smooth. 22fps, feels like 30. And 30 feels like 40.

Honestly, my last gaming desktop was a i5 6600k and a GTX1080. I'm just so impressed with how this GTX1070 laptop runs things at 4K. I love it.

I couldn't be happier!

This quality of photos is cut down! In the close up photo in the character in game, is so clear! Its just unreal!

 

Id be happy to email you the real sized photo of this screen up close. It is mind boggling. I cannot believe how bad the bbc links actually look compared to my pics on my phone. anyways. Good luck

 

Nice pics. Hey curious,what is the dpi on the 3k model?

 

Mate that thing must be hot with a 4.5 cpu and the gpu overclock.

Actually, NO.

This is was a surprisingly COOL running device right out of the box.

Liquid metal reduced temps by about 23C. Sometimes better than that!

I can push overclocks much higher for playing games and things, because its not a 100% load. But offers really really fast performance. So, for example 4.8Ghz for gaming. And 4.5-4.6Ghz is more realistic for Intel burn test with 10 passes.

I'm much happier with a laptop, than a desktop now.

I will probably upgrade, when the V8 or V9 models come out. IDK. I'm impressed to say the least! 4K gaming goodness!

I am so impressed with build quality of the Aorus, even though its all ive tried. I cannot see going with anything else. I like that I can pick it up with one hand, and there is not any flexing. its very stiff! it definitely feels like a $2,600 laptop.

My words of advice, there are a lot of BGA haters, and junk talkers. and this is how I see it.


I could have easily built a top of the line EUROCOM, or SAGER with a 8700K, with a GTX1070 or better with MXM removable graphics. But, at the end of the day its very thick! Even more heavy, and kind of a dated looking chassis to say the least. Yes, they may be socketed and upgradeable. But, what does upgrading from a 6700K to a 7700K get you? And with the cost of a new MXM GPU your looking at $1,000-$1,200. So, they may be upgradeable but its more like inefficient cost, and waste. And the guys, who owned 6700/7700K models cannot upgrade lol. They have to buy a new model to utilize the new 6 core cpu on the Z370 platform.. So its almost as if a stick was put in there mouth.

Id rather enjoy something for a year or two or even longer. And then, buy a new latest and greatest..


Any modern/ recent i7 will last a very long time. almost to long lol. and a top end gpu will put out years and years of solid gaming use. So, enjoy what you have! And buy what you can afford.

A gtx980 is pushing like 4 years old. But yet, it’s more than adequate for playing virtually any game at 1080P or 1440P. Hardware lasts a while these days.

I'd be interested to see your temps and voltage if that's OK mate.
I'm running the gpu @ 0.850mV @1797 on core.

Runs cool out of the box. What temps were those?

Out of the box Stock paste is actually good. In gaming the cpu would hover around 80C to 84C at 4.3Ghz. The GPU would usually NOT exceed 76C while overclocked in very demanding games. Though, some games would only push it to 66C like Need for speed pay back.

I’d say this is with a 50-65% fan speed profile. Or using the gamer fan profile.

Now with liquid metal, the cpu is in the 60’s, and the GPU is in the high 50’s.

I’ll get some pics up when I get around to it. I’m still fine tuning a bit.

Liquid metal helps tremendously! Before LM the GPU couldn’t hold boost in the 1,900mhz range continuously. But less heat equals much less power usage! So it boost much higher all around.

With standard paste it hovered in the 1,797mhz to 1,835mhz range.

 

Does anyone know what the microfiber cloth that comes between the keyboard and laptop screen is called? And where to get a spare one? I sent my laptop in for repairs, and they lost it. When I asked for a replacement, I got a cut out square of that rough burlap type material my laptop came wrapped in.

 

HERE YA GO!

Dang the sucks. Your story is kind of funny though. Its kinda steep, but it is a 3 pack and its the exact screen size!

I do use mine frequently, really everyday or twice a day at night when I'm finished. I will place the included cloth on the keyboard aligning it correctly, close the lid, and put the laptop in the included Aorus cloth bag. Ive got two young kids. 5 and 6 years old. So ive gotta be careful with my near $3,000 laptop


There also may be someone on here who would give you theres!

 

You got any hwinfo screens shots be interested to see the power and volts everything is pulling.

Hey guys with trip coming up over summer wanted to grab another power brick. Have the 3k x7v7 model. Anyone know where you can get a spare?

And can the matte screen be cleaned with microfiber cloth and water?

 

Thanks.
Was hoping to find an Aorus one for sale. No luck, so got what you posted.

 

That's what I use. Just make sure you ring all the water out of the rag really good.

 

Guys, I'm kind of baffled! I'm running my GTX1070's GDDR5 in my Aorus X7 V7 @ 9,600Mhz memory. It is benchmark and game stable. I'm getting 307.5 GBPS memory bandwidth out of this little thing. I am still pushing higher at the moment, with no signs of loss in performance or artifacts. Gaming in 4K my temps are about 55C after several hours with a custom fan profile. it would be amazing to get to 10,000Mhz stable! And have 320GBPS like the GTX1080, this seems like a long shot but, I'm almost there as it is.

What are you guys getting on your GTX1070 memory overclocks?

 

A quick firestrike run with the Aorus X7 V7

 

Wow, that's almost the same as my x7 DT

But, I'm not done yet! ill be back with higher scores soon enough!

I was wondering why it ran 4k so well natively.

 

World class single thread performance from a laptop cpu, that's for sure! Anyone who says a 7820HK i7 is not a capable CPU is very much wrong. This 7820HK has walked right past a 7700K desktop CPU In single thread, and just TIED with it in multithreaded applications.

Ive still got plenty of room to go. I'm learning this system more and more each day! it is FASSTT that's for sure.

GREAT JOB INTEL!

 

The Aorus has proven VERY solid thus far. I'm impressed more and more with this system everyday

 

Literally 3 points behind my v6 hahaha nice job!

 

Here's my latest run:

Have you done liquid metal yet?

 

Thanks for reply.

 

It’s nice to see 99% GPU utilization in fallout 4 with this i7.

A lot of people think an i5 is enough, because 4K is gpu limited. Most games it is enough. But,

Previously with a i5 6600K @ (5.1ghz) I was seeing about 50-70% gpu utilization at 4K with a gtx 1080 on my last desktop.

Currently the game runs so much better, it is day and night even with a less powerful gpu.

99% utilization for the gpu across the board.

4 threads is just not enough anymore.
