I own the 2021 GP66 Leopard (RTX3070/I7-10750H) which has an almost exact cooling setup. I was able to really boost thermal performance by repaisting with Kryonaut / K5 Pro and undervolting. I still hold the #1 spot in Firestrike Extreme (13552) and #3 Timespy Extreme (5190) in systems with this GPU/CPU configuration. So for sure worth all the trouble of taking the GP66 apart.

This year, MSI is really handling the GPU power level differently than other gaming laptops. Most other laptops, during combined load, only able to run the GPU at the base TGP and only utilise 5W to 10W max from dynamic boost, never reaching that advertised total TGP. Most cases 150W 3070 ti runs at 130W-135W at max. In MSI, looks like they're always pushing the maximum power to the GPU and not really implementating dynamic boost. This looks similar tome as the Electro Boost some Eluktronics laptops used to offer, always pushing the max allowed power.

@D.2023 2 года назад

Hi. What is that black stuff that covers heat pipes and other elements on GE66? Is it to prevent heat from escaping the pipes and lead it out to the less insulated areas? Cheaper GP66 does not have that, the metal is exposed all the way. So maybe manually covering the pipes with similar insulation tape, and maybe applying some CPU heat-transfer paste on top of CPU can help with heat transfers? Or wise versa, maybe being unprotected those heat pipes can be more efficiently cooled by 3rd party cooling-pad (those with electric fans) underneath the laptop? Can it somehow be modded with other DIY materials to improve heat retention?

Hey Jarrod. 1. Is it possible to configure manual fan curves in a way that fans start spinning when the temperature of 60 degrees Celsius is reached? 2. Do you need to run the MSI app on every bootup to apply the fan settings or are they saved somewhere? I’d like to know if the settings will be remembered when I apply them in Windows and then reboot to Linux. Thanks in advance.

@JarrodsTech 2 года назад

There aren't temp levels, it's just based on percentages for some reason but the chart has cold to hot. I'm not sure if you could save your settings in Windows and have them automatically apply in Linux. The max fan shortcut works, but I assume that only triggers max rather than whatever you set.

@acdbrn2000 2 года назад

That is sad since a good undervolt was a nice way to lower temps and strangely usually increase performance on mobile Intel. Though that does depend on silicone luck since some Intel mobile CPUs can just run fine with less voltage then others so everything has to be set for the lowest common denominator, which is higher then it might need to be.

Cheers mate! Personally it's hard to justify Aorus for me without MUX switch and being limited to 1080p (at least on the 17", not sure if 15" is the same haven't had it yet. Honestly I'd probably go for Aftershock Vapor series, them and Metabox are generally better value compared to the big brands, but Gigabyte does have some pretty attractive sales here. Aftershock resell the tongfang chassis, so same as Eluktronics in the US or XMG in EU, if you do go there you can get $50 off with 'jarrodstech' code.

@Moshe_Dayan44 Год назад

I have the GP76 Leopard with 11800h CPU/3070 GPU. One of the very cool things about it is that you can go into the bios and actually change the power limits for the CPU and GPU, so you can set the CPU max wattage, for example, to 45 watts. This is perfect for gaming, as the GPU will be able to run at max speed all day long, and the CPU will still be easily hitting 4.2-4.3GHz, but with temps remaining below 80 degrees during continuous gaming sessions. I also undervolted the CPU in the bios, but my machine can only undervolt by -50 and remain absolutely stable under all loads, whereas many are saying they can do -70 or even -80. I suspect at least some of these users haven't actually got completely stable CPU operation under all load conditions, however. I would say that if you want maximum gaming performance with serious cooling in a laptop, and you don't really care about LEDs everywhere nor using a laptop on battery very often, then MSI's-GP series is offering an outstanding price/performance value proposition.

@DomiMnemonic Год назад

I have the version with the RTX3080 and just one thing bothers me...While playing Cyberpunk 2077 or other modern games with higher graphics the CPU goes up to 94° Celsius (according to the MSI Center - Core Temp tells me that some cores are short time even on 100°). It stucks on this temperature and whatever I try, it won't go lower. It set both internal fans with FN+F8 on 6000 RPM and even used the IETS GT500 which is considered to be the best cooling-pad - it still keeps on those 94°. The most topics on reddit told me that this is normal and the i7-12700H is configured to work on those high temperatures. In some posts they tell me that it might be a hardware-issue and other posts tell me to change the cooling paste. Before the MSI I had a Schenker XMG Ultra 17 which was more like a Desktop-Notebook. The CPU never got higher than 90° and that even with expired cooling-paste (the GPU broke and I checked what happened). Is this really normal or should I send it back. It is about 1 month old and I still have the warranty.

What flash did you use for it bro ? Another question please : Can I flash a 3080 VBIOS to a 3070 ? I want higher TGP for my GE66 140W 3070, read about a 150W 3070 VBIOS but couldn't find it

@katiefrisk980 Год назад

right now the model with 3070ti and intel hx is on sale on best buy at $1800, which is pretty good. but personally i’d sacrifice some build quality and save 40% of your money while keeping 70% of the performance and 100% of the versatility (the sword with 12650h/3060 for $999, which thankfully has a white-over-black color scheme this year rather than rgb vomit).

Hey Jarrod. I seriously recommend you reviewing the Acer Predator helios 300 2022 version. With the same specs as this msi gp66, and the same gpu, it's really a tough call as both are 150w tgp models. Please do a review on both.

@JarrodsTech 2 года назад

I did a GP66 review earlier in the year: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Suc2CW0mwuA.html I'm expecting to receive the Helios in a few weeks, so there will be a review coming.

@Voidstroyer 2 года назад

It's quite impressive how the GP66 beats the legion 5i pro in games even with slower memory. It's enough proof that games at 1440p rely a lot more on GPU performance than CPU performance. The 2 biggest drawbacks of the GP66 I can think of are the lack of IO options and the screen brightness (Although I personally don't need that much IO). Everything else is user upgradeable including the SSD and RAM, so by upgrading it you can bring the performance up to the level of the GE66. The camera is alright. I am someone who never uses the touchpad so that's not an issue. In my region (China) the price is significantly lower than the GE66 (about $1000 difference) and it's about $600 cheaper than the legion 5i pro (price difference doesn't include the costs for manually upgrading the SSD and RAM).

@D.2023 2 года назад

I kinda disagree with you. GP66 with 11gen i7 CPU but a "stronger" RTX380 performs worse then GP66 with 12 gen i7 CPU and RTX370Ti. I think rtx380 is bottlenecked by anything less then i9 CPU. Both models have 195W total output btw. And CPU matters in newer games that utilize more CPU cores. What is confusing with mobile GPUs is twp's, you can have same GPU set to different wattage and this performing drastically different. I hope GP66 will not get baked easily, and the fan noise is not super annoying.

@Voidstroyer 2 года назад

@@D.2023 I mean, I don't know what you disagree with. I am comparing two laptops that have the same CPU, and you bring an example of a laptop with a last gen CPU. The improvement gain from 12th gen intel over 11th gen is significant. That is why I am comparing 2 laptops that have the same specs, but one focuses on maxing the CPU performance (legion 5i pro) while the other focuses on maxing the GPU (GP66) and we see that at 1440p the GPU offers more performance. Why would you use a CPU from last gen which is significantly worse than the current gen to make a comparison?

@Voidstroyer 2 года назад

@@D.2023 And the RTX3080 isn't necessarily stronger than the RTX3070TI. Only difference is the VRam which only really matters at 4K gaming. I was talking about 1440P at which VRAM still doesn't play such a big part. 8GB is still plenty enough at that resolution
