The stock gt75 8rg with i9 can still score at least over 1300 points in cinebench according to kitguru & notebookcheck. I am sure it would have been more if at least the voltage was adjusted.Vasudev likes this. -

MSi's bios settings cause weird things to happen.
I told all of you the H series processors have a 45W TDP.
You start fiddling with stuff, it seems this TDP gets ignored, unlike the HQ processors before.
I also could be "wrong" and the H processors could be allowed to bypass the "Power limit 2" setting which is usually 1.5x TDP.. Without a HQ or 8950HK (you can force the 8950HK to behave like an H by either hacking the EC to change its identification from HK to H), or setting manual limits to 45W and 62W, if in fact PL2 behaves the same way as before. It does on the 8700K, 91W and 1.5x that for PL2, but unknown with what this thermal velocity boost stuff and weird clocking is on these BGA versions now.
To bypass 45W TDP on the HQ processors, you need to set:
IMON SLOPE to 50
IMON OFFSET to negative.
IMON offset value - 31999
This will make a CPU report it is using about 1/3 the power draw it's actually using.
I don't have a 6 core laptop you guys. I can't do testing for anyone anymore.Last edited: May 25, 2018raz8020, oSChakal, heliada and 1 other person like this. -

Because the more juice you give a CPU, the more heat it will produce.
It's underpowered because if the bios let the CPU loose, well, throttling will happen.
Also; https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-G...-GTX-1080-Full-HD-Laptop-Review.303182.0.html
As you can see, once fully "powered"
To quote the review if you don't want to read it; "The situation is less rosy under the hood. After an hour of FurMark and Prime95 stress testing, the Core i9-8950HK had heated up to 99 °C"
So yeah, if you think that 99 °C is fine and that there's nothing wrong with the CPU, it's on you.
@Phoenix is able to get really good temp, but look at how much tweaking he did. -
BTW, there is nothing inherently different with this i9 than what it was with CPUs in the past. Literally ALL laptops I've had last 10 years ran hot. Yes 99C wasn't any rarity if I pushed it just a little. And no, nothing happened to any of these CPUs. It might shorten their lifespan, but I usually upgrade to new one every 2 years anyway. BTW, The Sager I've got for 4 years now still running like a champ and I used to run it HOT! I'm not worried about that. The only thing that bothers me is the fan noise. That's why I run mine at 43x now and I can't even hear the fans. If I'm playing Witcher 3, only the GPU fan gets loud (GPU runs at 86C max).
The performance at 43x with adjusted iccmax (and -0.160V offset) is way better than with MSI settings and temp maxes out at 86C.
@Phoenix has it modded in every possible way and he runs benches with his laptop sitting on top of an A/C unit. -

I understand that you see many reviews with overheating/under-performing laptops with 8950HK and because of that, you might think that it's the CPU that has a problem, but no, the CPU is fine just like kaby lake 7820HK was fine.
A CPU which is mostly a refined kaby lake version but with 50% more cores, won't be considerably more efficient than the previous unlocked kaby lake CPUs.
Having 50% more cores correlates to a similar increase in power consumption, which translates to a higher amount of heat.
Intel did specify the TDP and offered the basic guidelines for the ODMs to design their cooling systems. Also, as you can see, the max all core TB clocks aren't mentioned anymore, this is because the TB clocks depend even more on the cooling system and power limitations.
Basically, intel's only guarantees basic clocks at the specified TDP under a worst load scenario, anything over should be considered a "bonus".
ODMs are free to design their cooling system and their BIOS/EC throttling mechanism around that 45W TDP. They can give you more thermal headroom (and a BIOS with higher limits) if they want, but it is more convenient for them to only make slight changes to save on production costs. The main fault goes to the laptop ODMs.
Intel's main fault would be the use of the same TDP guidelines for a more power hungry CPU, they should have specified an 1.5x greater TDP from the start, to force the ODMs to improve the cooling systems (and to not recycle the old ones).
You cannot expect to have a CPU (without a significant improvement in efficiency) with 50% more cores to maintain a significantly higher all core turbo with almost the same cooling system and the same power limits.
Now, regarding the under-performing 8950HKs compared to the lower spec 8850h/8750h, it's also the ODM's fault for not properly designing the cooling system to cope with increased power limits or the other way around, for opting with same/lower default power limits so they don't have to put more money in the cooling system.Falkentyne and stank0 like this. -
So I tortured it more and harder with cpu benchmarks running subsequently after each other many times and voila: while I did not see this real time, at some point for less than a second 1 of the cores dropped to base clock 2.2GHz then right back to 3.9 (I only saw this in the "min" in hwinfo not sure at which point it actually happened) - all other 5 cores still had min values of 3.9. I can live with that. Just correcting my previous statements that it is impossible to make it throttle

Who knows what kind of fluke that was. -
This is interesting:
But Cinebench results are quite abysmal:

Sigh
I feel like I tell everyone but no one ever cares until it nips them in the butthole.
A) UNINSTALL DRAGON CENTER. DO NOT EVER TOUCH IT AGAIN. POWER OFF THE LAPTOP.. HOLD POWER BUTTON DOWN FOR 60 SECONDS. KEEP IT PRESSED.
wait 2 minutes for the full CMOS clear and boot loops to happen. This will restore all bios corruption caused by Dragon Center.
just found out that Dragon Center messes with the TDC limit, causing MORE throttling. I KID YOU NOT.
You guys want proof since you don't believe me?
So do what I say. Uninstall dragon center and clear the CMOS to erase that stuff it adds to your hidden bios menus.
1) UNLOCK YOUR BIOS.
2) Set CPU power and performance->CPU VR Settings->Core I/A Domain ->IA AC / DC loadline, = 1
3) Set VR Current Limit to 800
4) make sure TDC is DISABLED and value is set to 0.
5) brownie points: if you want to never, ever, ever, EVER EVER EVER reach "power Limit" throttling of 45W, set IMON SLOPE to 50, IMON OFFSET to 31999 and IMON OFFSET PREFIX TO NEGATIVE. Yes, negative. Then you can draw 100W of power and the CPU will only report about 35W. VERIFIED AND TESTED.
To unlock your bios follow the instructions here.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...-clear-cmos-and-prevent-common-issues.812372/
I'm slowly dying (nsides getting crushed slowly, muscles tearing) from a serious medical disability. Everyone else is too busy with real life. I may just post the damn unlock code and be done with it if this BS keeps up. What are you people going to do to a dead person? Sue me? Spit on my grave? I'm not getting paid to fix MSI's bullcrap. And I don't want to hear it from any of you people.
Get the INTEL CSME SYSTEM TOOLS V12.
https://www.win-raid.com/t596f39-Intel-Management-Engine-Drivers-Firmware-amp-System-Tools.html
For older GT73VR and GT75VR, v11 works, but if you get an ERROR on your GT75 Titan, that 'unsupported platform" with v11, use v12. IT WILL WORK.
Run FPTW64 as administrator: FPTW64.exe -d MSIcancerbiosbackup.com -bios
Download UEFITool and Universal IFR extractor from Paloesco's post I inked above.
Download RU from the website as the one paloesco had previously linked in his tools had BUGS which would cause your entire laptop to shut off on "UEFI Variables".
http://ruexe.blogspot.com/
Make a backup copy of your bios dump you made. Save it somewhere.
Download AMIBCP 5.0.2 from https://forums.tweaktown.com/gigaby...-info-benchmarking-stability-tools-print.html
somewhere over there.
Now, first things first.
Run UEFITOOL on your bios backup that you made. Open image file click the backup you made.
Click FILE->SEARCH->Text Enter "Bios Lock" in the text search.
At the bottom you should see "bios lock found at pe32 something". double click that.
A menu tree will appear at the top with a PE32 field already highlighted. RIGHT CLICK THAT AND choose extract as is. Name it whatever, like "extractedfield.bin" or something.
Close UEFItool and open universal ifr extractor. open the file you just extracted. . the words UEFI should be in GREEN. If so, good. click extract. And save it as the suggested txt file name. Should be no errors.
Now open that new text file in windows notepad.
Edit->Find, search for BIOS LOCK
You should see it, then some HEXADECIMAL variable.
WRITE THIS VARIABLE DOWN ON PAPER. Example: 0x8AA. Ignore the part in brackets.
Now, follow paloesco's instructions on making a boot disk with RU
Once you make a flash drive boot disk with RU, you need to disable secure boot, boot to your disk and boot into RU.
In RU, you then need to follow the instructions shown by Paloesco and go to UEFI variables. And look for "setup."
there should be two. A small one and a large one. The small one is wrong. You want the large one.
Once you go to the large one you need to page down (i forgot if its control page down or not) through all the HEXADECIMAL OFFSETS on the left, until you get to the PROPER HEXADECIMAL OFFSET FOR BIOS LOCK.. Example: if yours was 0x8AA, then you would look for 08AA (leading zeros are basically placeholers.
Press enter on that hex offset and change the "01" there to a "00". Should be pictures and more info in paloesco's thread.
Click write value (forgot the key, might be control W). It will say its written successfully.
use the next menu to exit RU and restart your laptop.
Now:
Boot to windows, Open AMIBCP 5.0.2, open that bios backup you originally made with FPTW64. Click on Advanced and change everything that you want unhidden to "SUPERVISOR".
You also need to change each and every submenu and option that you want unhidden as well. Most boring thing you will ever do in your life.
DO NOT USE AMIBCP 5.0.1, YOU WILL CORRUPT THE BIOS CAPSULE !
Once that's done, save your settings, flash your bios capsule back with FPTW64.exe -f msicancerbiosbackup.bin -bios
Shut off the laptop, wait 10 seconds, power it on, go in your bios and have fun.
BETTER HAVE A SPI PROGRAMMER (SKYPRO RECOMMENDED) available to flash your bios chip if something goes wrong.
This method HAS BEEN ALREADY TESTED as working by another user here on his GT75 Titan.
Doing this on the GS65 stealth is UNTESTED. It SHOULD work, but it has only been confirmed on the Titan.ThePerfectStorm, stank0, raz8020 and 1 other person like this. -
That's way over my paygrade man. Besides, as I know myself, I'll mess it up overlooking something, skipping steps or just plainly duck it up.
I don't have a SPI programmer and I don't have any clues how to operate one.
Are the improvements THAT significant to justify going through all this and risking a perfectly good, even though crippled, laptop?
BTW, I don't use Dragon center. I uninstalled it pretty much right away.
BTW 2... that unlock code... in my mailbox... how about it? (wink wink, nudge, nudge, snap snap, say no more...)

Also always be careful with furmark + Prime, both are increadibly unrealistic loads that will force way higher temps than you can do otherwise. Also I agree on the power limit. Companies put that in so people have a harder time breaking their notebooks and keep better temps. -
That is the GL62M 7REX... stock vs repaste with an Arctic MX-2. Not only did the cpu go from thermal throttling with about 96 C max to no throttling, but insane 80 degrees max. That is whopping 16 degrees difference and MX-2 is no liquid metal or even top paste. Oh and did I say he spread the paste using his finger?I'd call the factory paste garbage, can't wait to change mine so my gpu temp finally get at least below 85 I hope.

Power limit is a thing on thin notebooks. Also we all agree that the stock thermal compound on any notebook is worthless.
Also in terms of stresstest, OS optimizations does nothing, temps are same either way. Benchmarks will get affected tho. -

Hi @ole!!!
Asus 0.01 is the same as MSI's 1.
Asus uses "direct" values, while MSI uses a divider.
Or someone on their programming team sucks.
Asus uses 0.01 to 62.49. (direct mOhm value).
MSI uses 1 to 6249.(value divided by 100).
Yet Asus' description for this value is ripped blatantly from AMI's documentation, even though they changed the divider :/
Although in the new section in Overclocking Performance menu, there's some new stuff there for "DC loadline" that isn't on the older MSI's, but i can't even test it without access to a laptop. But changing the DC loadline setting in Core I/A Domain affects the VID that is reported by the CPU (higher resistance values=more vdroop the VID reports, even though VID isn't actually vcore). Changing DC loadline to a higher value while keeping AC loadline at 1 just makes the vdroop reported go wild (much higher vdroop) while -slightly- (very slightly) raising temps and power consumption---weird..raz8020 likes this. -
edit: nevermind just read lower saw the value -
Falkentyne Notebook Prophet
Haha, brother @ole!!! , resistances and current is all greek to me. I honestly dont know how to measure that stuff. I'm guessing your Clevo has an actual "Vcore" sensor rather than only relying on VID?
If you're actually wild enough to TEST that option (which can get dangerous; upper levels can destroy the mainboard if not the CPU), the reference value for Kaby lake and 8700K is 1.80 mOhms.
So that would be a value of 180 in MSI/Clevos and 1.8 (1.8, NOT 18!) on a desktop Asus ROG / Strix/ Rampage whatever).
Just remember it is based on current. The voltage will go higher the more current / load is going through the chip. At idle you'll barely notice anything. -

From Tweety's conversation with me, she NEVER changed that setting, and the only way that would EVER be set in ANY MSIbook (the bios defaults it to 0) is from dragon center.
Look
I just opened default GT75 Titan APTIO bios.
What do you see?
Now look carefully at the BIOS DEFAULTS.
Look carefully.
Failsafe is set to NEITHER ENABLED NOR DISABLED. Value is 0
Optimal is set to enabled, still value of 0.
the very fact that optimal is enabled tells you that msi is up to no good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and somehow it's enabled and 640?
I dont know if that's a bug or not. One of the options is "blank" there
But...
Let's look at GT73VR default settings and optimal, shall we, folks?

But it won't help. because the cooling results is exactly same as the models from last year. Or the year before.. Seems 100C is the main goal nowadays, bruh.

Watched this video last night. Hopefully, @Phoenix will be able to do much better than this worthless pile of trash from ASUS. Looking at the ridiculous amount of effort that went into Linus' escapade, it still sucked. It was kind of funny that they pretended to be impressed with it. Or, considering the source, maybe he actually was impressed. (Probably would not take much coming from the perspective of a Razer fanboy that always overhypes junkbooks.)
