I have this laptop, the gpu is fine but my cpu throttles like a son of a gun. I'm going to have to downclock it for sure.

To be honest, it still scares me how hot the processor gets and jumpy the temps are (which is due to it constantly being throttled from what I can tell). I got a good price on the laptop and I really...

Thanks for the feedback and actually understanding the point that these 6 Core 8th Gen and 9th CPUs are hot themselves due to their old 14 nm Fabrication process and their actual TDP during stress...

I generally don't stress test my computers but in this case, while I was playing around with my new laptop, I used Intel XTU as I wanted to tinker with under-volting the CPU to see if it helped (it...

Thanks for all the info! What do you use to stress the CPU/GPU, and measure temps?

I have a GE63 with the 9750H but everything else seems the same as this laptop. Cooling, I think by design is fine, but the 9750H is crazy hot (and heard the 8750 is the same). On one hand, I opened...

Not having a number pad is one of the things that steered me towards the XPS line. It's weird that the "business" line doesn't have a number pad, and the gaming ones do. Something seems backwards.

I never understood why they install the number pad on gaming laptops.

Anyone know how good the cooling is in this?
If it throttles down the GPU speed due to heat, it's pointless to have the power.
