Posted December 1, 2017 Hi, I'm looking for the right CPU for laptop my needs, two scenarios I need to handle: 1. Bruce Wayne: Average load, low noise, VR developement, Unreal Engine 4, with relatively low noise emissions. Even 7700HQ could handle that part 2. Batman: High load, high noise: Rendering, long compilations, VR gaming. 7700K is the best choice I think, but 7700 is ok as well I think My question is: Can I downclock / limit 7700K to run as cool and fast as 7700T (super power saving desktop one, but still better than 7700HQ) or at least 7700? I see that for 7700T TDP is 35W, for 7700 is 65W and for 7700K is 91W, but I know I can force 7700K to work with only 35W using i.e. ThrottleStop. Is there any point in choosing 7700T or 7700 over 7700K if I want to be able to limit heat and noise on demand? I think I'll go with Clevo P751dm2-g laptop because it can handle desktop CPU, while GPU part can be solved by 1070 GTX. Desktop CPU will be delided. Is it a good choice, or maybe am I looking in wrong direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 1, 2017 Personally if have the money, a powerful desktop and lightweight laptop. I always can VM into my main desktop if i need anything intensive done. I would get more powerful laptop if that is going to be your main machine. You can always use headphone. Magical Pineapples
