What do you think of the 4K screen? Can you do a battery test? Thanks

External temps are a little on the hot side. Left leg area was 52C at the max and the center got as high as 55C. Give or take a couple degrees - this is all of the top of my head since my notes are at home. It's pretty much what I expected but this will be too hot for lap use unless you have good tolerance or turn the settings down a little.TyroG and ThePerfectStorm like this. -

X5 V7 more powerful than the X5 MD? what's the point of the X5 MD? I hope it have atleast a better battery and is way quieter.
-
Bring on the X9.... -
As for fan noise, the MD *may* be quieter. I would never recommend anyone paying more money for less fan noise though. Apples to apples with the 4k screen, the X5 V7 is $350 cheaper than the MD. -

I'm seriously considering getting the 4k X7 DT and doing this, now that I know it looks and plays well even though it's scaled. I know there's a qhd option, but it's tn and I really like full gamut IPS screens.TyroG likes this. -
Did I read somewhere that the Max Q gpus do better in games than their benchmarks would indicate (NBC maybe)?
Or is that incorrect / irrelevant?
I'm new to all this. -

Yes but is the 1080 gonna be power limited again? It would really be a bummer if it were

On the X5 yes, two of the four slot are occupied with the two empty ones directly accessible by just removing the bottom cover. On the X7, all four slots are directly accessible from the bottom
Edit: you'll probably end up with 48GB of RAM if you order an X5 since the two occupied slots are pretty hard to reach and not worth the risk of breaking something when trying to remove the MB

Nope, I have the X7 v7 1070 and not the X7 DT v7 1080.
There is lots to like about this laptop but I'll just list the negatives.
1. took forever to release, I feel by the time you actually get one, the newer revision was just announced.
2. Coming from MSI GS73VR 1060, I don't like the backlighting (not very bright around the keys) and keyboard feel condensed. I guess I'll just have to get use to after time.
3. Not sure why, I couldn't install NV GTX using the laptop drivers, I kept getting hardware is not recognized, blah blah. I had to use the drivers from Aorus X7 v7 site.
I decided to re-paste and use ICD Diamond as that is the only one I had and waiting for my Thermal Grizzy & CLU liquid metal to arrive, the result was a little worst than stock. I most likely did a bad job but twice? Looks like I'll just wait for my liquid metal to arrive before taking it apart and re-doing.
Under-volt my CPU to by .180 and seeing the temp drops during benchmarking made me smile and wished I did this sooner on all my previous laptops.
My spare ac adapters doesn't work on the Aorus as it worked with my old Gigabyte x37 v5 and MSI GS73VR, placed an order on Amazon for a 3rd party. -
Can you please run a level 4 overclock on both CPU and GPU and post your firestrike score? I'm curious how it compares with the v6. I might consider the 1070 model since it's so much cheaper.
Also, hows the construction of the palm rest. I was under the impression it was the same as the v6, but that's not the case with the x5 models. The palm rest, bottom plate and edges are three separate parts. The visible seam on the top is not that attractive at all. I'm also not convinced yet that the palm rest is even metal. I know the edges are definitely plastic. It's a step up with the keyboard at least. I'm hoping they left the x7 alone because the model last year was great. Thanks in advance. -
@Derek712 Hey, how do you find the X5 MD for now ? Tested games? How do you compare it to the Zephyrus?
-
MaxQ makes sense for the Zephyrus, not the X5.Darkhan likes this. -

Hi, My X5 MD just got delivered. I won't be able to do anything today; as I'm doing a full tune up on my car. Are you basing the performance on real world use or just scores. What have you done to really test the system? Have you overcooked both the GPU and CPU?

@Derek712 Could you check the screen model number or tell us what's the color gamut of the screen? SRGB & ARGB? Thanks

I'm actually quite surprised by the results, looks like my CPU UV -.180 V and ICD paste did a decent job.
My specs:
Aorus X7 v7 i7 7820 1070 Lv 4 CPU/GPU OC 48GB RAM 2TB NVME (Raid -0) 2TB HDD
Top panel looks like an unibody, no seams as I can tell and made of metal.Attached Files:

You're welcome, tell us what you think once you get your DT and let us know once you're done with your reviews. I'm really enjoying everything so far. -

Wow. For the 7820 to be outperformed by the 7700 is utterly shameful. So much for the cooling tweaks Aorus continually made reference to during the multiple delays of their Kaby Lake products.

But I am not exactly sure why I could use regular drivers after the initial probelms.
Best regards

We might not be able to get accrued numbers for the GPU because everytime I run the Fire Strike. I keep getting a Validation warning saying Graphics driver is not approved. Here go my scores for the X5 MD. I updated all drivers. I'm waiting until I get the time to update to Windows 10 Pro with creators update. I have two 2TB 960 Pro and G.SKILL RIPJAWS DDR4 SO-DIMM MEMORY
DDR4-3000 32GB Memory.

@NewMan4Life2010 Thanks for the pic, how do you find the noise on the laptop? The screen? And overall quality?
