@@JesseSeg84 I'll do it!

[@mynameisheff9750]

This is my first gaming laptop/pc ever. And I’m loving it other than the screen.

[@bronztech]

It's a great laptop for the price. If you want a better screen, you can buy one for around $200 and ask a computer shop to upgrade it for you.

[@LawnZip]

​@@bokakoka4138it's reccomended.

[@kal.asther]

how are the temps? in gaming and idle.

[@vladimirzarukin3103]

Got open box one for 650 total, absolutely great value for money

Did i see Moscow back there on the tv at 06.00? 😃

[@Likitu264]

Thank you dude, this is exactly what I needed

[@kal.asther]

What are the temps on this thing? On load and idle.

[@archiebentley6280]

Apparently there’s a issue with these laptops where the Audio and video go out of sync and the files get corrupted

Fr?

[@kubexe2424]

r u fr is there a solution yet

[@kelvinmoses7777777]

What?? That should be a software problem.

[@abstracthourpodcast]

How do you judge what makes an ideal chassis if portability is more important than performance?

[@bronztech]

aluminum is more durable than plastic, thicker chassis also have typically better cooling performance which is the trade off.

[@akshaynain4043]

Hi, which one would you choose? This one or Asus tuf A15 (2022) Ryzen 6800h and rtx 3070 (115w)

[@UNKNOWN-kb4hh]

Bro, 😢I just purchased msi katana 15 laptop rtx 4060( 105 W) over this Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 144Hz intel 13620h rtx4060 (140W) because I didn't know Msi katana has 105 W and I didn't know some channels give bad review about MSI katana 15. how much can performance be different between these laptops?and MSI Katana laptop is a really bad performance compared to this Lenovo LOQ 140W laptop?

[@legendaryentertainment1490]

rtx 4060 has a max voltage of 115w. its a 10w difference, yes its undervolted but its okay it's still good for the price

[@mightymartin6290]

You can always flash 140W bios to your RTX GPU, dont worry. Just know what you are doing.

[@kal.asther]

How is it so far? Are you happy with the purchase? I know MSI laptops power limit their hardware to control temps, I have a stealth gs65 2060, and the performance is not that great. Its probably because it has a thin chassis, the Katana may fare better, so I'm asking you how are the temps to performance?

[@soldierk6129]

@ I bought cooling fan it is best for temperature without cooling fan it is not great and you need to get good quality cooling fan ,don’t buy cheap cooling fan

[@kal.asther]

@@soldierk6129 how hot? My laptop gets to 90 - 95 when gaming. And whats the FPS on valorant or cs2? Those are the games that would matter most in fps since its competitive.

[@kinslayer_06]

I am gonna buy same laptop but qhd 100%dcpi screen and i7 12th gen 4.7 ghz is it good?

Yes, very good laptop one of the best for the price

Hi, you can sand me a VBIOS of this laptop? I have the MSI CYBORG and I'm running some tests.

[@bronztech]

I think you should be able to find them here. Cyborg isn't the same as the one I reviewed. Make sure to check your model # under your laptop: www.msi.com/Laptop/Cyborg-15-A12VX/support

[@gameplaysPR]

@@bronztech Sorry, I need the katana vbios backup, by nvflash

[@gameplaysPR]

it's simple to back up by nvflash. I'm looking to make a mod with the gpu bios backup (vbios) from the katana model to the cyborg.

[@UNKNOWN-kb4hh]

You play in this computer Modern Warfare 2 /3 ??? I play this Games with 2 Gb Nvidia Graphic card perfect . Why don't you play with this 8 Gb Nvidia Graphic card the Cyberpunk 2077 to see how hot it gets ???

[@Gabrialhajji]

How do i keep the cpu and gpu temperature down while gaming ..

[@bronztech]

For CPU: Download Intel XTU and set the numbers found in 5:40 For GPU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIerZWqkg6iErZI

[@schrabidium41]

you can also go to Edit power plan > change advance power settings > Processer power management > Maximum processer state and slide it down to 70 or something lower it bottlecaps the gpu by giving the cpu less power

[@RichardGrady-ri2pc]

I bought a cooling pad for mine.

[@froggdomain]

this laptop is so prone to oil smudges

[@darkfearz3285]

can we remove that 85w limit ?

[@bronztech]

Nope locked by the manufacturer

[@kelvinmoses7777777]

I think Indian version has 105 tgp

[@Likitu264]

How does this compare to the MSI - Cyborg 15.6" 144hz Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, sold by ebay?

[@bronztech]

Unfortunately it looks like the cyborg has a 45w RTX 4060 which is no bueno for me, plus the chassis looks cheap to me

[@Likitu264]

@@bronztech oh damn, best but selling trash like always

[@dieaking6475]

​@@bronztechI own the cyborg was the only 4060 laptop at the time of my buy this year. Casing is actually pretty decent allot sturdier than the GF models. Also preformance is alright if you disable igpu. I would buy a diff laptop next time prob a designer laptop instead of a gaming laptop. Like Msi creator z or a dell xps.
