It's all good to me because I've never experienced anything better. So excuse me if I sound like a fanboy. The problems that you're experiencing are quite minuscule to me. It's only a difference of perception based on your pointof view vs mine. So whether you consider it a problem vs me being ok with it is only a matter of opinion. Maybe in the next 10 years, they'll have laptops that perform trice as good as these but still have heat problems. But run really cool at twice the performance as these. Is that still considered a problem? To some it might be.

Anyway I spent a while tinkering with Throttlestop. I have a LM repaste/fujipoly pads but spent the morning playing some games (Destiny 2, Overwatch) and with a slight and turbo limit and 125mv undervolt I'm at a peak GPU temp of 70c and peak CPU of 72 with the custom fan profile I cribbed from earlier in this thread.
Net result: I'm pretty happy with it. I do question the fact that you have to do this stuff to get a notebook to behave optimally as opposed to MSI's out-of-the-box configuration, but you can't have everything. -
Have Any of you that are using ThrottleStop enabled Speed Shift? If so, are you seeing an improvement? Thanks

Any thoughts on general flimsyness of the laptop? I'm getting ready to buy but it feels so flexy in hand.

I will wait for Computex before buying a laptop I think...those coffee lake CPU (and the integration of those 6-cores CPU) are once again very disappointing (speaking of thermals) : Intel still uses a high voltage offset and laptop manufacturers still let a CPU reach 90°+C out of the box in a gaming laptop.
Suffered enough with my alienware (runs perfectly now) but I'll keep an eye on that gs65 will have to tweak the fan profiles, repaste LM or Kryonaut and undervolt...same story different brand...tired of this.hmscott likes this. -

Same laptop, same paste. Just didn't have it fully dialed in correctly.Last edited: May 19, 2018 -

I just seen the model from BestBuy for $1999, is there something missing from the BB model that I don’t see because it’s a lot cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen.
Is the 16GB’s of Ram on the BB version dual channel , I was in a hurry and couldn’t wait to ask a clueless salesperson to not know that answer ( I swear there are good sales people at BB but to far and few between, most of the time I know more about the product than they do).
Anyone get the GS65 from BB yet?
Would love to hear about it, one thing I don’t like at all is trying to add more Ram or storage being such a pain in the ass.hmscott likes this. -
Discussion about it here:

In my opinion it’s the best deal if you don’t want upgrades now or re-paste.hmscott likes this. -
I got the BB one and I haven’t seen any problems. Screens fine and keyboard too. I think the main difference is 16gb ram vs 32gb

He (bitwit) left out a cooler, I prefer it for my docking setup. Works perfect for my OMEN or GS65. Hid the dock under the cooler for cable management...

Download a tool called CPU-Z and install it on your system. This is basically a tool you can use that gathers different information of your system hardware. Under the memory tab it can tell you how much Ram you have and if it’s running in single or dual channel mode.

@Derek712 heres the results, no undervolts applied, default clocks, BestBuy model, stock paste.
MSI Turbo mode, Cooler Boost fan profile. score 12,9XX (forgot to look)
Here is with Auto fan profile, again no undervolts. score 12,615

I actually lowered my six core torso multiplier to 34, and with a custom fan profile and a -.140 core and cache undervolt, I get 13k firestrike with max temp of 79C, stock thermal paste and pads (not sure if I have the skill to take this thing apart, with it’s flipped motherboard)

Hi.
Have anyone checked how many PCIe lanes the thunderbolt port is?
With rumours of nvidia 11XX series coming out this year i was thinking i'd get an eGPU for gaming at home and rocking the internal 1060 when im traveling.hmscott likes this. -

#2: BGA has its place. It IS useful. But NOT in desktop replacements (DTR's) or anything performance related.
The VERY BEST BGA cpu's are equal to the WORST LGA CPU's of the same tray (7820HK->7700K, 8950HK->8700K, etc). And the vast majority are substantially worse in bin level and quality.Papusan likes this. -

How the hell did they get 7 hours of battery while playing video? I get 4.5 while idle with my best attempt to optimize settings (according to batteryinfoview)
-
I think the next upgrade of this, the GS66/68 is almost certainly going to have the exact same screen but just that it will be gsync certified and have a hardware switch (like the zephyrus M) to switch between discrete gpu (gsync) mode and optimus
-
Battery life should be at ~10h but barely scratches the 6h. -

Please let me know how many of you also have a "curved" screen, mine looks like his, I'm curious if they're all this way. I borrowed Dave2D for the reference lol.
