lan party @startbucks good idea also haha..

that's too little information to draw conclusions out of it.

yes, overheating could be the reason. for that you can run hwinfo64 with sensor page turned on; or run gpu-z with sensor page to check.

Now you can run ultras with aw13

haha! that's the only laptop in the whole world that can use aw gfx accelerator. (for now)

yeah area-51 looks nice.

really? i like the new area-51.

haha! nice maybe if the stuff fits we can put m-atx x79 mobo into it lol!

to me it looks nice hahaha!


nice it's populating!

i think aw.fusion will be gone.

unless we can get the casing alone, it's better to get the whole desktop. it's x99 man

you can just find out the sata support from the manual right? at dell support site?

i still think they should use thunderbolt instead.

i think it has started populating. (rushing for year-end/start events, maybe?)

a few months ago we had news about msi's.

Maybe. However i don't have high hope about asus. They tend to tease us with their prototypes and that's it. (I waited for their m.2 pcie adapter for quite some time until i gave up and went for other alternatives) Furthermore, thunderbolt port is taken out from their slimmer versions of gaming laptops. (Still available for 751 but that's a bad choice because slimmer laptops are the ones that need egpu more, and they're probably sell more of those than g700 series) Otherwise, asus ftw!

yes it's expensive right now. i rather go for desktop cards, can do 3-way sli with the price of 2x 980m :/

siao.

uh? 3-way means 3x desktop cards.

hahaha! this guy is like that bro

oh that's your trick ah? so i will stop keh gao also

no that was from eurocom. (manual upgrade) at least it's confirmed that compatibility is not an issue for aw17.

yeah.. it's like night and day difference with that card, compared to other previous versions.

hopefully a refresh will come out soon, with new features that are already populated in other brands.

1x pci-e x4 m.2 slot at least. (new clevo have that; asus g751/g771 have that) 3/4k display.

the rest should be maintained or improved. (like, more heatpipes for cpu lol!)

oh. tbh aw18 is much better. playing games with it for hours really bo rasa. (especially the gpu's) still, need to check the specs of the new aw17/18 first. (i'm curious about what exactly they did to allow cpu oc up to 4.4ghz)

i'm still skeptical about slim laptops being able to dissipate heat efficiently, particularly when it's under load for long time.

when i checked reviews about these slim laptops, their temperatures under load for both cpu/gpu are always at relatively higher sides. note that they're stock cpu/gpu with stock clocks.

right. for now, single high-end gpu's are still good for most games.

i chose 18 because i have a hot cpu, and 18 is doing a better job dealing with heat than 17.

however, later i found out that the choice of thermal paste also contributed to the less optimal heat dissipation. both my r4's came with hot cpu's (3820qm and 3840qm). they ran hot and could reach near 100c after long hours of gaming. i tried all sorts of TIM's but none could suppress cpu temperatures well. finally i tried coolaboratory liquid ultra. it's been months, and they are still running around 85c under same conditions, at room temperature. (impressive. it's more than 10c drop)
