@Phoenix What are the temperature like on the CPU & GPU undress stress and did you try to overclock the cpu ? If you got around testing that yet.

Hey man i came across this video on youtube today, it's about the built quality of the gt73vr. Things like screen flexing.
How true is this, do you experience this on your unit? Hopefully it's an isolated casecj_miranda23, jaug1337 and DukeCLR like this. -

So all this talk has made me reconsider my purchase. Should I go with the Sager NP-9172, or the msi gt73vr-titan 427? Not trying to hijack this thread, but I would appreciate the advice.

If the replacement system also doesn't have GSYNC, then I will take it anyway as there is no other machine that suites my needs
I want a machine that has an FHD screen 120hz/5ms and that can take 3 m.2 SSDs and at least 1 2.5inch SSD
They have the GT83VR but the screen on that is not 120hz -

At 60fps, I get no problems with Vsync active so I don't really need G-sync.
BTW - what happened to you? I must have missed the exact post explaining the problem -

Let's not assume anything until I get my replacement unit -
It is always ideal to have a % of flex, and a sufficient robust construction to remain sturdy. The LCD does flex under force, but it is also a part of the notebook not designed to be a point of support, meaning you are not supposed to hold your laptop by the screen only. I have found, in practice, that I have 0 issues with the screen itself nor the flexing.
the added bonus is that the machine is quite lighter than it looks. If you have time to find the video of how MSI stress tests their machines, including dropping etc, you will see how it handles mistreatment. By the way, you should always treat your computer with care haha

The reseller didn't guarantee me g sync but i still proceeded because i was sure that it does have until now. I might have trouble returning it for exchange in case it doesn't have. -

what's so hard for them to turn on the laptop, right click on the desktop, nVIDIA Control Panel to see if GSYNC is there or not? -
I wish you good luck with the replacement!
May I humbly suggest you have them turn on and check for g-sync BEFORE they start to customize your machine? (Assuming they arrive at HID with a stock SSD that has the factory OS installed). That way it would be easier to tell if the problem is hardware related or has something to do with customizations or the clean install. -

they will also include the factory image on a USB Stick so if I do my own clean install and it doesn't have GSYNC, then I can go to the factory image -
Their tech told me that it doesn't have g sync he said that he also checked with the msi personnel. But i didn't believe it because I've seen with my own eyes that gt73vr has g sync it was a skylake model though. The only problem is that they won't easily accept the reason for retuning is because it doesn't have g sync. Unlike in hidevolution it is mentioned in their website that it does have g sync, that's why they will take responsibility if it doesn't have it. Keeping my fingers crossed, we also ordered at the same date january 18 so i dont know man.

so my replacement system just arrived at HIDevolution, they confirmed GSYNC is working and when I asked them to flash the latest BIOS for me, they showed me a screenshot of the BIOS it came from MSI with the 30A BIOS:
-
And what a coincidence ! MSI just released the .30A BIOS officially today

And I assume you verified gsync was working when you got it?

They also created the factory image USB Flash Disk for me just in case -

It's not Sagers fault no matter how many people keep trying to say it is.

This is probably a stupid question, but is Prema BIOS a possibility (some day) for this machine, or is Prema exclusively for Clevo?
-
On the HIDEvolution website it says it comes with Prema Bios, contact for details etc
