    So I've jumped from MSI to Gigabyte.

    Seemed a good deal, £850 for the X5 V7 with 7820HK and GTX1070 with QHD Screen, catch is the keyboard is faulty, few unresponsive keys no biggy.

    Question is, could the keyboard be repairable or will I need a new keyboard?

    Second what sort of overclocks can I expect from this laptop and should I re-paste it with Thermal Grizzly?

    Cheers.

    I had one, it still ran hot even with LM. I did 4Ghz on all cores, UV @ -150mV, a laptop cooler and a few fans to keep the temps reasonable.
