    Hi guys,

    Has anyone that laptop? I mean with i7-8750H and GF 1070. I'm wondering if there is throttle due to temps? Has anyone tested it with P95+Furmark at once on stack thermal paste? How about temperatures? And anyone repasted it on their own and than stressed?
    I searched in the internet, but articles are poorly wrtitten (only commonplaces not precise description).

    Thanks in advice for help :)

    All models will throttle down when processor temperature hits 90 degree Celsius. So Furmark is going to cause the system to hit that temp which will then trigger throttling. Stress test will allow you to burn-in your system to ensure system stability upon heavy workload.
    You can get a few degrees cooler if you repaste and change the thermal padding, but since the thermal capacity is limited that difference is not going to minor.

    I know that, that is why I'm asking how it looks like in this model

    Hey Adam, GE73 has improved a bit from its predecessor in terms of thermal capacity but it's nowhere near GT series.
    What kind of details are you looking for?

    Thanks for replay!
    I'm looking for information connected with cooling - how hot it is under max stress = Furmark + Prime95 at once, what are the clocks (6 cores on CPU and GPU)

    In case that, the answer is still 90C due to the way it's designed, so this is why the stress test cannot be a valid real life test because no matter how HARD you are pushing this system, it will most likely hold at 90C and does not exceed 91C.
    The system can detect that the CPU is hitting 90C therefore throttling down CPU & GPU automatically to avoid overheating, therefore the system will always max out at 90C.
    The best way to gain more performance with lesser heat/better cooling efficiency is to undervolt reasonably, overclock a little bit, and do replasting thermal compound/changing thermal pad.

    That is why I am asking about clocks during let's say 30 mins of maximum gpu+cpu stress. What are the lowest values and how they changes after repasting
