This one is a beast of a laptop with the Intel 12th gen.

 

Really wanted to get one soon but its not available anywhere 😕

Whooot in germany you can buy them...

To be honest it is a beast but they use traditional cooling with paste with this hardware LM and vapor champer would be a better choice. in my opinion, they have given away potential for this lady.

I have heard that the models with i9 this year have a phase-change liquid metal pad. A vapor chamber would be nice but even an extra heatpipe on the CPU side would have helped. I also read that some others have installed Honeywell PTM7950 to good effect. If I had to guess, a good self-install might still do better than a factory paste job in some cases.

 

Another user who got a GE76 with 12700H was saying that changing the turbo multiplier in the advanced bios were not sticking, which is sad if true as it would be nice to take it to 5ghz on light to mid usage so it can match the 12900H/HK in those scenarios. I do believe undervolting should be possible on the 12700H despite some other users claims.

You can't run the 12900HK with OC it is running in the GE76 at maximum what cooling makes possible... GT Series needs a revival 😄

I would hope it could be possible to get 5.2ghz with 1-2 cores active. Obviously all cores is not possible with the current heatsink design.

GenTechPC recently posted a review and teardown of 15" GE66 (12900HK/3080Ti) showing the paste which was uneven may be because of the bad application or thermal pads size.

 

If the same is with GE76 then a repaste will hopefully help with better cooling

the 11800h and 3080 version is only 5 percent slower than the i9 3080ti version on average in gaming? is that true? I heard it from jarrods tech

I love mine. Best screen I’ve ever seen. Best speakers I’ve ever heard. Keyboard is a pleasure to type on. Aesome RGB.  Almost flawless. 
Just needs G-SYNC.

My firm recently purchased two GE76 12UGS-033CA adding to their apparent love of MSI laptops.

 

Our current inventory of MSI Raiders:

• 1x GE75 Raider 10SFS
• 3x GE76 Raider 11UG
• 2x GP66 Raider 11UH
• 2x GE76 Raider 12UGS

Now while this isn't my first choice for an office setting with the main workload being CAD/renders, our team seems to like them. I haven't had any time to mess around with these yet, but some of them will be due for a maintenance appointment with me.
