[RaymondL]

Hey guys im going to be getting a MSI GS70 Stealth Pro with the following specs:

 

• Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ Quad Core Processor
• 17.3" Full HD Screen
• Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit
• 8GB DDR3 RAM
• 128GB SSD + 1000GB HDD
• Dedicated GeForce GTX 970M 3GB Graphics
• USB3 | HDMI | DisplayPort | Bluetooth
• SteelSeries Backlit Keyboard

 

However im worried about if there will be any temperature issues when i do heavy gaming?

I need this laptop because im always on the go and would a light portable laptop containing the gtx 970m within my budget but i want to know if there will be any heating issues?

Thankyou!

I had the older version of the laptop with the 765m, and there was not any throttling issues these. I can't remember the exact temperatures off the top of my head, but they did not cause any issues. The fan speed was quite high to keep it cool however (disabling turbo boost in non cpu intensive games helps quite a bit).

thats a really old version... get the new one with the skylake cpu.

Mobile i7's have been pretty much the same for a while now. The gpu is the more important factor in gaming, and a 970m is pretty much the best gpu you can fit into that form factor.

but the new model has the nmve drive.... not ssd. Also some models have the 6gb version. I got my gs70 from xotic pc...

Is there really that much of a difference between the skylake version and the haswell version?

cpu power.... just a little, but with the nvme drive your computer will be much faster. You also get ddr4 ram so its 2400mhz in that laptop. Really up to you if the difference is worth it. I should get mine soon. I got custom laser eching done for it took longer then normal.
