Shark00n Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 CPU was bad and santa didn't give him a heatpipe nor a 4th screw. I don't understand the point of these models. They must think consumers won't even consider buying a laptop thicker than 1" but have no problem with a janky watercooling setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they make the cooling setup WORSE than last year?! People might argue that last year's cooling was worse because it had to tame both the CPU and GPU, but it's not really a problem as the pipes are being cooled by both the internal fans AND the water. I hope to see some detailed comparisons of the cooling abilities of this year's model and last years. Also, why couldn't they run the pipe for the GPU VRM's over the PCH? I know its not that big of a deal, but in laptops where most of the airflow is directed to the heatsink, it would be a bit better to get the PCH while you're at it.

Here is their reasoning: Die size, lower nm, more power is for the gpu than the vram. This means the 4000 series is hotter and more of a power consumer chip wise in a vacuum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapphiraTriX298 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Cyberpower apparently has the same model under their own branding. ~$2850 with RAM, SSD, and Windows. $3000 with the Cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpro69 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 So the XMG Neo 17 (23) and Eluktronics Mech 17 GP2 , these are the same machines just branded differently?

I also found today someone mentioning that XMG was better with providing updates to their systems. Dunno how true that is though. 1 GitHub Currently and formerly owned laptops (specs below): Serenity -> Dell Precision 5560 N-1 -> Dell Precision 5560 (my lady's) Razor Crest -> Lenovo ThinkPad P16 (work) Millenium Falcon -> Dell Precision 5530 (work) Axiom -> Lenovo ThinkPad P52 (work) Moldy Crow -> Dell XPS 15 9550 Spoiler Senenity / N-1: Dell Precision 5560 i7-11800H CPU 1x32 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 512 GB SSD NVIDIA T1200 FHD+ 1920x1200 PopOS 22.04 Millenium Falcon: Dell Precision 5530 i9-8950HK CPU 2x16 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 1 TB SSD NVIDIA Quadro P2000 UHD 3840x2160 Ubuntu 22.04 / Windows 10 LTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphiraTriX298 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The 16" and 17" are only about 2.5cm or 1" different in width, and very minimally different in depth and height, and 120gm or 1/4lb lighter. Is that enough to make people choose one over the other? Also, do XMG or Cyberpower offer preinstalled liquid metal, or is that an Eluktronics Exclusive? What are the main benefits of Premamod? I have not messed with any of these laptops before, but I thought it originally had something to do with increasing power limits, which is not allowed on these versions? If performance benefits, are they appreciable on air, or mainly with liquid? Is it likely to be compatible with other clones, as it was in previous generations?
