How Does MSI Keep Coming Up With These?

[@rambow70]

Crazy how much work went into designing that. Impressively packaged!

[@slowlanegamer]

It is cool and compact for the time and MSI really does some interesting things that wouldn’t be done otherwise, but essentially this is a laptop yea? 🤔 Just more expensive and with out the screen or portability 😅

[@Harry830]

@@slowlanegamer well yeah , but i can think that it would be quite difficult to put a mini itx case in that form factor and the desktop grade solution would require more cooling

[@omarfouda1994]

GPU got hotter because the fan takes feedback off the cpu temp and cpu temp getting lower doesn't trigger the high speed fan It is not the mistake of the thermal paste application 😁

[@HansenLaMoose]

would this have been done on purpose or is this just a one off mistake possibly?

[@omarfouda1994]

@@HansenLaMoose there's no mistake here, after repasting both temperatures are ok, also all motherboards' BIOS use CPU temp to control fan speed that's standard, having a single blower fan to pull air cooling both components is intresting but not very effective as it won't account for wierd scenarios of high gpu usage and low cpu usage leading gpu to get hot, if it was my system I would definitely use fan control app to control fan based on gpu temp to fix the issue. In the end if it's your system you take care of yourself (repaste, control fans, undervolt, remove bloat, maybe even removing some panels to help) Always take care of yourself

[@CarbonPanther]

I wish we could've seen if the GPU was boosting higher as well, usually of course if there's more thermal headroom the GPU also attempts to clock higher which might lead to similar noise levels but also higher performance!

[@ACurbo]

I’ve had a Trident X for 4 years. Managed to shoehorn a 750W psu and a 3080 into it. Performance and thermals are outstanding in a system that’s smaller than a PS5. PWM broke on it within the first 2 weeks, so it’s noisier than an angry Italian mother in law, but I still love it

[@Gatorade69]

I have always kind of avoided MSI and chose brands like Asus (lol). I have a MSI built 3070 and It's pretty well built, also have a MSI monitor (though It's only 1080p) but It's a pretty decent monitor (high refresh rate, lots of options, easy to use nub for the menus) The first MSI items I have ever owned and they're good.

[@originalityisdead.9513]

​@Gatorade69 Asus GPU'S have been the best I've ever owned, they're two expensive though. MSI haven't been on top form for years, their old MSI Lighting GPU'S were the best you could buy. The only 3090 i could get was the MSI Gaming X Trio and its an absolute joke compared to other 3090'S, low boost clock, bad OC, power limited, adjusting the power limit and Voltage makes no difference whatsoever and it also makes an awful racket compared to my Gigabyte 4090 and to make matter worse the temps aren't all that good.

Semi-upgradeable. The GPU would be nearly impossible to source, and I REALLY would not want to risk a 7th Gen i9 in there given the passive cooling, but you can add RAM and storage fairly easily.

[@GalironRunner]

@@JinghisKhan oh mxm cards are easy to find its the compatibility thats an issue just being an mxm or even the correct mxm version doesnt mean it will work. I have a few older alienwares with mxm some for example will not work with any amd cards if it came with intel same with any amd based units and nvidia cards. Now its possible theres a workaround but ive noticed mxm systems often have some limitations on card usage plus the cost. a 10series or higher is often at or more then a current desktop version cost wise ie a 1070 may cost 300+ and may not even work.

[@gantz4u]

you need to go watch a trash can mac tear down. Nothing is impressive besides they figured out how to emulate the trash can apple with even poorer cooling. The magic in the trash can mac is its cooling solution to create that form factor..Also that thing wasnt well received for its minimalist design approach obviously because mac went right back to make square designs.
