msi MSI Weird Release Dates

[OpRaficcino]

So eh, whats up with the MSI GS65, I just ordered it. No release date, and just saying "Out of Stock," not even showing when it's coming in stock. Any solutions or any info for when it is coming?

Where did you buy it from?

Looks like the 1060 models have already released, but the 1070 models have not. The one for sale at Best Buy lists it as a pre-order with a release date of May 6th.

I bought it from Best Buy, it doesn't show a release date though.

they don't have it in stock, how'd you even buy it (best buy has a nasty habit of selling stuff they don't have)

 

in any case; if you do end up refunding it from them, i would recommend getting it from a better retailer who will even give you extra stuff like free improved thermals

im gonna go on a limb and quote myself but i would recommend the same for that thing (though i can also tell you why the aero 15x is better, they do the same thing for the gs65 if you already have your heart set on it though)

they do thermal throttle, especially the cpu with all 6 cores on maximum load

 

if i were you, i'd get it from that site and they have a spring sale going on so they'll do it for free; i'd get the one at the bottom as it is the most optimal and the gpu doesn't have as much thermal issues so the diamond is actually better since its less likely to damage the points around the gpu (i could explain it a bit further but this is something i'd highly recommend getting, especially considering how thin they are)

I'm gonna go for this one then, refund the purchase I did to Best buy as well. And go for that thermal compound, and wait for when it comes, thanks for the help!

One more thing, what's the best thermal compound that I should get for the laptop. I want something that will both keep the CPU and GPU Temps as low as possible.

technically the conductonant on both would be the best in terms of raw cooling but liquid metal is conductive and since its a laptop that you'll move around, it is possible that liquid metal could damage the gpu or surrounding parts, even with proper protecting

 

i showed a screenshot before and explained somewhat  why you should only put liquid metal on the cpu but if you think its worth the risk (which i really don't) you can go for the both option on the list; they do give you warranty so as long as you don't crack it open yourself you're technically still good for a replacement though i would back up my data frequently should such a thing occur
