@D13H4RD @GeneXiS_X @Jurrunio Scar 1, the older version. The product page only stated TN 120Hz. So i was wondering if there IPS one.

Exact model number?

It is wonderful that you reccomend this reseller, quite frankly if you are going to buy online, which I highly reccomend against for a laptop right now, they are good. However repasting is not the answer for bad thermals. Most non conductive high performance pastes suffer from pump out, which means more frequent reapplication than the factory goo. Liquid metal reacts with aluminum quickly and copper slowly degrading the heatsink.

 

To shorten reccomend a model with a proper cooling solution, not a reseller dealing a half assed effort to mitigate improper engineering by the manafacturer.

I recommend them because I've purchased 4 laptops from them in the past 5 years bro and they were all perfect. Today's CPUs do get very hot and we all know that there is no escaping the fact but the thermal mods that they do help mitigate overheating issues.

 

As for the Liquid Metal being dangerous, you are absolutely right it is dangerous especially if one wants to move the laptop around a lot and that was one of my concerns which I asked them about before having them apply it. They told me it's safe as they use a special way of isolating the CPU/Heatsink as such even when the laptop is moved, the liquid metal won't pump out or spill over to the PCB and any mods that they do are covered under warranty anyone.

 

Take for example my curren MSI GT75 Titan 8RG which has an Intel i8950HK, in addition to applying Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU + GELID Extreme Thermal Compound on the GPU, they installed the Fujipoly Thermal pads on heat sensitive surfaces and did a bottom panel mod which allows more heat dissipation, see:

I recommend whoever gives ms quality service that's all and I do like them because of my past experience with them + the fact that they cater to enthusiasts.

 

I am a long time member of the Notebook Review forum, just a few of the positive feedback about them:

 

HIDevolution - The Best Company I ever dealt with

HIDevolution's Warranty!

HIDevolution - a benchmark for excellent customer service

MSI GT73VR 7RE TITAN-427 Ordering from HIDevolution Feedback

Donald at HIDEvolution

Custom AW17R5 from Ted @ HIDEvolution

Superb purchasing experience from HIDevolution
