Gs73vr cooling/OC

[K352]

This morning, I was 1 click away from buying a razer blade 1060 before remembering its almost a 1050 so I straight up changed stuff to a gs73vr which is big and can house better cooling whole having a chance to OC. to anyone with this laptop or its brother the gs63vr, should I OC?

You probably won't be able to OC a laptop without your battery and thermals going to shit.

Batteries are ok but I will use a cooling pad if neccesary

A cooling pad doesn't do much at all

Slim laptops really dont OC very well due to power delivery and thermal limits. its really not worth overclocking as it will only make it louder and reduce its battery life. it may even thermal throttle which kinda negates the whole idea. and yeah, cooling pads really dont do much on these slim laptops

@K352 Unless you're pushing benchmarks and need that 3C drop (more if you custom mod noctua industrial fans onto a CM u3) then yea, not alot better.

and if you do that mod then it becomes really loud. You end up with a bulky setup that is really loud, so I would rather go for a thicker laptop with better cooling...

 If you guys could tell me what fan model I would do it but keep it at home and leave it there and transport the normal laptop because I kind of dc about battery, thickness and noise. Because my cloud revolver is noise cancelling and I put on Max volume

I did Cooler Master U3 with modded Noctua fans are the best. But firstly it's expensive as hell, and secondly it'll bring down temps maybe 5C all around max.

5c is too much, that level is rare, really rare, I would say 3-4c, but that again leaves about 0 room for OCing, if anything it would be a very small OC

Buying thin laptops to overclock is an absolutely terrible idea. They're designed to (barely) handle the power they shoved into them, so they can sell it to people who don't watch their own performance and think anything is fine.

 

The GS73VR is one of the better thin laptops, but the 6700HQ cannot overclock and the 1060 will just power throttle the whole way down anyway, so that's worthless for overclocking. You'd need a vBIOS mod and possibly a larger power brick (I don't know what it has).

 

You want to overclock, you get a GT73VR from MSI and a Svet mod, you get a Tornado F5 from Eurocom and a Svet mod. Ignore GT72VR and GT62VR. Or you get any Clevo from a Prema partner shop. Preferably HIDevolution, especially if you're getting the ones with a desktop CPU, so you can order the CPU delidded.

Sadly I cant order from hidevolution because they don't ship to the uae

They ship worldwide. One of the NBR users, Phoenix, is in United Arab Emirates and has bought twice from them.

If you're not getting the desktop CPU model, then consider Dream Machines in poland

Currently either taking a thin 1070 laptop under $1700 or taking gs73vr and scrapping the idea of OC

Question: what useful accesories/peripherals except mice(pad)/headphones should I get (under 100$)

@D2ultima

thermal paste, screwdrivers, maintenance tools?
