    Hello Everyone ! I'm planning on buying one of this beast but I have some questions... I make 3d with blender, but I'm also a musician so I need a quite environment when recording.. I mean really the minimum of noise possible..
    So I'm wondering, I saw that those beast have an option to switch off the gtx, so if I do so I guess there's no noise at all since the fan are useless no ??
    And maybe you know if the SLI beast has this option also ?

    In fact I don't need the graphic cards when I make music, but just to make 3d....

    Any advice or help are welcome, thanks ! :)

    its ok bro. a moderator has moved it to the right section now

    now to answer your question. Out of all the laptops I've owned, this has been the quietest of them all. I barely hear the fans if ever and that' when its under heavy load.

    Turning off the dedicated graphics may not necessarily make the fans not spin up faster if the CPU is being used so much but it's still the quietest laptop you can get. They have levels of fan noise, silent, then up faster and then full speed via the little fan button the right.

    mind you, you can only go SLI with a GTX 1070, for 1080, it's only a single configuration option and that's what I have, see my signature
