MSI Katana GF66 - BUDGET or "CHEAP"

[@p0tr3bit3l]

"Blue chunk off metal" its a battery guard and cooler. Better don't remove it! Those engeneers are not going to put something that cost money in there for no reason ;]

[@RyanYu]

I don’t see it in other laptops.

[@p0tr3bit3l]

@@RyanYu you should considered distnacne from heat source and how thick is the plastic cover (very fragile) and placed on sharp objects can "stab" the 🔋 true the ventilation holes... And once again if you calculate the price invested in 10 000 or 100 000 produced laptops... First metal cost money and second it takes time for workers to put it (production - manufacturing time / money). Better just keep it. BTW in the warranty is written that removing the warranty sticker by not authorized people/service... No longer warranty.. I checked the documentation of mine. Regards

I bought this laptop recently. Im working all around Europe so i couldn go for Desk PC this laptop is heave..and i still have RAM and SSD slot free to upgrade to make it even better. If you like me traveling a lot and still like to play game i recommed this

[@RyanYu]

Glad you like your laptop.

[@tomazeditoraquino1280]

I bought one and I don't regret it, very good machine and simple inside. Just like the Avell machines. The MacBook pro's are all fixed on the motherboard, nothing else can be changed. This one is even better

[@McMuMu666]

I worked for a computer store and I've had one for 2 months already, the only problem I have to say is that the cpu heats up near the critical limit. For the price it is worth it and runs the majority of good games worth playing though.

[@RyanYu]

:)

[@tomazeditoraquino1280]

True, but I don't use it only for games, but for work. It passes clean without errors. If you play in a cold environment it doesn't give any error. As soon as it arrived, I called the call off duty at the limit and my room was very hot. Stayed all day connected to the game and no error. Extremely hot plus no errors. I am super happy with this machine.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

I'm sure a liquid metal application, or some other thermal paste that's aftermarket would decrease temperatures quite a bit. Thermal paste that manufacturers use leaves much to be desired.

Hi, I have this laptop (katana GF66 12UE). Are you saying that you can't change the RGB keyboard lighting? As it is just set to red? I've been trying to figure out how, but I'm at a loss. I've only just started to game on a laptop, so I don't know a lot. Any help with this or recommendations on software for changing the light would be gratefully appreciated.

[@pauliusnanukas7183]

Hi, do you have any advice on reducing temps on cpu/gpu? Like undervolting? Or reducing power dto cpu? Or tmaybe there is other options?

[@RyanYu]

I prefer intel more personally

[@YurShimray]

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that my priority will only be (heavy) gaming. So accordingly, don't you think the RTX 3060 6gb graphics card would be a better option?

[@RyanYu]

@@YurShimray OFC! RTX3060 will be much better than the RTX3050 or Ti.

[@YurShimray]

Thanks... I'll go for the rtx 3060 then... Even though it has a slightly older processor.

[@tadsnyder2756]

The 3050 ti can’t even do The ultra benchmark for rdr2 due to 4gb of vram. 3050’s are just a bad card.

i want to buy this laptop since i am on a budget...do u think it is worth it for i5 11400 and RTX 3050 and only 8GB ram but around $100-$150 cheaper from Amazon? Do u know if Amazon laptop has 1-year warranty? Also, if I add another ram myself, will it destroy the warranty? Thanks my friend!

Get the 16GB version for sure! also the warranty on Amazon, you will need to purchase it. and opening the lid will void your warranty, but keep it as a secret.

Dull..

[@tomazeditoraquino1280]

I don't use multiple monitors, but it supports up to 4. The machine doesn't crash the 3d wheel too smooth. Works with photogrammetry programs and on this machine it was almost a hundred times faster than my tenth generation xeon. For the price I paid, it was worth every penny. I was going to buy an inferior alienware for twice the price to say that it had a good and slow brand.
