Always adjust the fan curve for the laptop before gaming. or set it to gaming mode or whatever so the fans ramp up properly. otherwise if it's waiting to ramp the fans up until you hit 99C, then you're still losing performance. fans should be at 100% @ anytime over 80C.

and remember for most laptops the GPU and CPU share a heatsync, so allowing the fans to work more, will improve the cpu and gpu.

I appreciate you guys opening the box with an actual katana, that was legendary! Awesome review also!

I was just looking at this, and here is a review from you guys! Excellent!

Love MSI laptop. Got the 3070ti GE66 laptop and MSI always push for the most powerful wattage

I live in a city where the nearest micro center is 8 hours away. I was in a city with a micro center during thanksgiving, but I didn’t have the chance to check it out because I was too busy visiting my dad in the ICU.

I'm running my 11400h with 2 disabled cores to reach higher all core turbo frequiencies at 4.3ghz with my overclocked 3060 MSI GF66 katana. The bottom cover is super bad designed since it covers the fan intake. Either take the backcover off or do as I did and cut the plastic off so it can recieve fresh air. I went from 95c to about 75 degrees. Also lift the computer up a bit does a huge difference.

when the bottom cover has poor airflow i just drill holes where they are needed and i use small self adhesive hooks from dollar tree to raise the rear of the laptop for better airflow as well. been doing this for years and it works great.

If you live in the UK - CEX are currently selling this for £680 (A Grade) and £620 (B Grade) with a 2 year warranty!!

I got this one in an i7-12650 , RTX 3060 variation, and it's been great so far, plays everything i throw at it in at least 1080p 60+fps with high or ultra graphics settings, for 1200$. I'm very satisfied.

You guys got me benchmarking Rocket League for my flips. I always thought it looked kinda dumb. Now I’m addicted. Thanks.

Got this for my 15th birthday :) i grew up in a really poor family and im so grateful i got a gaming laptop (let alone a laptop) im sooo happy

How you guys are saying “katana” is hurting my soul. Great video gentlemen.

i had the same exact laptop. play destiny 2 or world of warcraft on it and you'll see 30-50 fps in battlegrounds "pvp" and in dungeons. i took mine back and opted for an asus rog strix with ryzen 9 5900hx and a rtx 3060. way better

You know, I hate ads but I like micro center. Even though I do not live in usa, I know their business model provides reliable and fast pc components on the cheap.

I got the 15.6” model, i7 11800H cpu, 3070 GPU (85w) and it’s very good at 1080p. Cost £850, plus I spent £150 on another 2tb ssd. The cpu runs too hot though (90-100 degrees) even at low loads. It’s unacceptable and not good in the long term. So, I changed the settings to 99% max usage on the cpu, so it wouldn’t turbo-charge to full power. That keeps the temps down and my fps still seem fine.

Not personally a fan of the 3050 ti, especially when it is paired with something like the 12700. It is super underpowered for the cpu making the specs rather imbalanced, if they made them with a 12400 it would make more sense. Otherwise it just seems like a cash grab, forcing people to buy more expensive components that they aren't going to be able to utilize.
