Nice snag man! Congrats! It really is the unicorn floating around out there. Looking forward to your hands on review and comparison to the 5080 variant you had before. If you can get the 2x16GB to run that's icing on the cake. WoW should run like a beast on that thing.

 

I was in MC the other day and they had a floor model Titan still out on display (285HX + 5090) so I had a chance to check out the 4k mLED display and it definitely looks nice and they let me run 3Dmark on it and give it a general whirl on desktop and surfing. I just prefer QHD and 18"+ displays on my laptops/portables. Definitely stays quieter than the 7945X3D MSI we both shared during normal usage but of course under meaningful stress it lit up like an Xmas tree but that's ok. I'm hoping you can tame the sound profiles on this one and have a good review of it overall for when I eventually buy it off of you for a slight discount down the road. 🤣

 

I'm curious how the actual internals compare vs the 7945HX3D + 4090 Raider too if you can spot any changes / upgrades.

 

Yeah, I was definitely surprised to see it. I want to take it apart and swap memory but there is a factory seal sticker in place. Its MSI warranty expires in September 2026 so I provided the B&H invoice and was told I can extend it by two years for $140. However I want to be charged and have the extension confirmed before I open it up. B&H did have an AllState warranty option but those are $500 for two years (no ADH included) and less likely it could actually get repaired if the mobo failed.

 

The stock memory is 2x32GB Hynix M-die dual rank. It actually was not stable at 6000MT JEDEC with VSOC 1.2v and like all of the new OEM ram I have seen is PMIC locked so no VDD/VDDQ beyond 1.1v. I am guessing / hoping the issue is just dual rank is harder on the IMC as the 2x16GB on the 5080 model had no problem running at 6000MT JEDEC.

 

I do know that all of the 2025 and newer Raider and Titan models have upgraded fans with more blades and are much quieter. I think they also tuned the fan profiles though as it seems like the fans are not ramping up and down as agressively as before. Supposedly these newer fans have the same shroud, connector and power spec so they can be installed in the old models as well to improve them which is nice. The 2025 also has a heatpipe to cool the Gen5 SSD which is good.
