As long as it doesn't spill down to the green IC board below, you'll be fine. If it does...

But really, even if IC Diamond is DA BEST paste, the heating performance difference between the top brands is like 1-2c only. If you don't want to live with the risk of holes in your motherboard, just get another top end brand paste that's not corrosive.

hmm... should keep quiet... about it... sorry is not Corrosive"(wrong word ) it happen only when you in proper remove of thermal... then it become... let say IC Diamond have marco diamond dust even so in that form diamond is Sharp... so when you rub the IC Diamond the sharp edge of it scratch the surface of the chip but NO worried it wont damage it unless you apply wait a day and rub it off then repeat it 1,000 time then you may damage the chip so Chance of the ic diamond damage chip is 3 of 100

Very nice temperature there even while watching video.

But the one on 3DMark13, that is not the max temperature while running 3DMark13 right?

Yeah I actually googled. Not "corrosive" like the other "corrosive" paste, it's actually "abrasive".

And I'd say the chances of scratching something is definitely higher than 3/100 with IC Diamond. Doesn't make it a bad paste, but definitely not newbie friendly when removing it.

I thought that would make you Hulk-smash jelly?

And ya, of course I'm recommending the lower end GS70, and upgrading SSD in the faaaaaaaarrrrr future. Also you'd get the disco SS keyboard, and the first of its kind:, dual fan.


Just showing some prototype of the GS70



Is it me or does it look like what Razer has been doing?

thx

yes i think it's the max... i got same temp for Tomb raider(2013) /Crysis3 i think is good temperature

yes "Abrasive"

this is so true it's really fine to use the common ones found in the market.

my heatsink is showing a clear 'corrosive mark' on it (the area that was covered by ic diamond). there was no such 'mark' when i used other pastes, like tuniq tx4, mx4, as5, or prolimatech pk-2/3 (it looks very much like corrosion :/)

Hi all, do note that for Intel Haswell model please insists on 1.35V NOT 1.5V as the reason why we do not recommend 1.5V is 1.5V will cause damage to machine.

Hmmm.. Probably the counter got reset by itself.
Or you might have open the Hardware Monitor after you ran 3DMark13.
It needs to be run before you run 3DMark13.
Coz I'm seeing the Powers Package max is only 6.01W, which means it isn't running at full load.

Still, even if those are idle temp, it is still a very good temperature compared to my W230ST.

haha mucho Gracia's ! yes it running while 3D mark is benching 3Dmark don't seem to stress my GT70... only get stress playing crysis3 6hour while surfing internet/ watching HD movie (setting is on 3 LCD include notebook)

Wait, your max temperature for CPU is only 49C while running that benchmark? Isn't it a little low? LOL! I've never seen such amazing performance. Don't get me wrong, but I'd like to have what you put into that laptop.

Actually the GTX 675MX is the better alternative. It's the Kepler version of the original 675M (Fermi). The MX is probably equivalent in performance to the 770m (with no boost). I think there's a version of the GT70 with i7-3630QM, 16GB DDR3, 750GB 7200RPM and GTX 675MX. Last generation, but hey... its cheaper.

Any idea what was your maximum CPU temperature then?

pmd

Wanna ask..
both the GE40 don't have backlit keyboard right?
The GE60 20C 3699 one also don't have?

it come with SteelSeries but only BLue backlit

Edit: you can purchase SteelSeries backlit with full led light show cost you RM 450-600

Agreed. But regarding to xfreedomboix's max budget of rm4k, he is looking into the GX/GE series, maybe you can give a few pointers?

i say get MSI GX60/70 ADD 16GB 1866Mhz RAM+ SSD:) if compare to GE60/70 price and performance...

This mean all GE40 and GE60 20C series have blue backlit?

only GE60/70 not ge40.. well check with erkaru
