MSI GS63-8RD

[Cyrustom]

 

 

Im going to update from dell inspiron 15 7567(i5,gtx1050) because Dell is quite heavy n thick n the famous power limit throttling which makes me mad because i couldnt found any way to fix it...so i search through online for light-slim n semi gaming laptop...

MSI GS63-8RD has caught my eyes on it....

It cames with i7-8750G which i heard is 23% better than i7-7700HQ

n gtx 1050ti is ok for me,i guess? Since i didnt ply much heavy title games...n i mainly focus on Esports games like League of legends,CSGO n so on...

I know there's a gtx 1060 version,but the price is too much for me so no choice but to go gtx 1050ti which i think im ok with it because i already ok with my Dell 15 7567 which came with a gtx1050...

I really love my Dell 15 7567,Great battery life,Great keyboard but disappointed on power limit throttling which affects me so hard on heavy cpu tasking...

So do u guys thinks MSI GS63-8RD is worth to get? Or does anyone using the previous version,gave me some thoughts,much appreciated

It's a fine laptop. OK build quality and cooling.

 

Correction: 8750H not 8750G

 

Actually you can fix the power throttling issue by some tweaks like undervolting

After watching quite few review,i found that the MSI gs63-8RD has some overheat issue...

As for Dell,i tried undervolting CPU n GPU but no fix for it  dat's y i have no choice but to upgrade

Where you watch the review from? Thin gaming laptop will throttle under full load for sure. Thermodynamics is there. MSI GS lineup has OK cooling for a thin gaming laptop, some undervolting will do

 

What program you use for CPU and GPU undervolting? Can you provide some pics about temp, power draw and other things when the CPU is under load (Aida64, Prime95 or OCCT) so that I can know what's the problem? Also, have you tried disabling BD Prochot?

Thanks for the assistance...Much appreciate,n here's the screenshot before gaming which proves that i undervolted my CPU n GPU (the first n second)

n here's what i get when im in game(3rd n 4th)

as u can observe from the screen shot there's no thermal issue but the frequency of my CPU constantly drop between 1.8-2.0ghz,which cause major fps drop while in game

 

[genexis_x]

You messed up the frequency curve. PM me, I'll tell you how to do it.

 

Could you run test like Aida64 or Prime95 while opening HWMonitor aside? Also, are there any background programs running while idling? (check with task manager)

Sorry im quite new on that program,how should i run it?

[genexis_x]

Download HWMonitor and Aida64/Prime95. Then open HWMonitor and leave it aside. After that open the stress test program. For Aida64 you need to click somewhere above for stress test (I don't have time to look at it now) and select FPU stress. For Prime95 select small FTT. Google it if you still not sure how to do.

I did stress test before(on Intel XTU),when only pushing cpu limit,there's no problem...

But when i ran cpu n gpu both at the same time(Gaming) the CPU frequency drops after 5 minutes of gameplay

[genexis_x]

Intel XTU stress isn't that intensive. You need both CPU+GPU stress (which you may want to test it later)

i did the stress test,n the frequency goes even lower...to 0.8ghz

Weird. Have you tried clean install Windows and update BIOS?

[Cyrustom]

I saw some review and they said is window 10 creator's update affected tons of Dell's laptop power limit throttling.

I did reinstall windows,because i just bought ssd n insert to my Dell laptop.

Bios,i did it too...

I have no idea how,i tried everything that i found online and nothing can able to fix it,that's y i planning to upgrade

[Cyrustom]

I finally fix it... I did it by using a software call ThrottleStop, and i unmark the BD PROCHOT(btw, i dont know what it is) n stress test,cpu constantly around 3.1ghz
