GS 70 vs Retina MacBook Pro Haswell Temps

Hi all,

Just want a precise answer to a question. Which of the two has the best cooling, and which one has the lowest temperatures in intense activities such as heavy gaming (bf3, etc...) or benchmarks (furmark, prime 95, 3d mark 11, kombustor...)

All in all which one has the lowest temps in activity. For the macbook, im talking about temps through bootcamp.

Cheers!

 

Well, I know that you can fry bacon and egs on both laptops, but (I think, I am not sure) the MSI has better cooling. I know Mac's have/had realy bad cooling, but I heard they vastly improved it with this gen.

 

You're going to have to go into the future to find out since there are no reviews of the new MacBook Pros out yet.

 

Any particular reason you've set your mind on the coolest laptop? As long as you keep it away from your lap the temperature would only correlate with noise level which varies greatly from model to model.

I wonder if anyone has suggested this to you, but you could check out a local Clevo reseller. They do have a wide selection of highly customizable machines..

 

yeah thats right

haswell so far is cooler than ivy, so... we don't know about temps, although Im betting that its not going to throttle when you stress both like last year. and yes the gs70 does throttle under load

 

Everything I've seen says Haswell runs hotter than Ivy Bridge on both mobile and desktop parts. On-die VRM, higher TDP, more power consumption, same crap TIM under IHS on desktop chips.

Not sure how rMBP fares.

 

and ?

 

Stop the presses! Very thin laptops get very hot while gaming and might even throttle! Shocking.

By the way, the rMBP probably runs cooler than the GS since it has a much weaker card and Apple's build quality is a little better overall.

 

stop the press, shocking news, nothing new

apple has a lot better quality built than any msi laptop

 

Yep, and so does Razer. The MSI GS70 and Razer Blade line are very similar in design and spec but the Blade has much better build quality. I'm not surprised as MSI notebooks have never been strong in this area.

 

I didn't ay why I needed it to be cool. My father decides what I can get, and he wants it to be a thin laptop. He knows a lot about computers, just as I do. We've been tearing computers down for years now.

Anyhow, since I can only have a thin laptops, which, as a gamer isn't ideal, I was going to try and squeeze out the most power that I could. Yes, overclocking on a gaming ultrabook.

Which one is most suitable (I no they both won't be very good) for overclocking?

Which of the gtx 765m and gt 750, will have the most power once overclocked to max. I also heard something about ivy bridge retinas having no overclock limit. I saw a crysis 2 benchmark being run at 2880x1800 at 22fps...

 

how about pointing to the razor blade? or the blade pro? they don't throttle thus making at least possible for you to play on the settings that those things should

 

Just get the blade pro.

Better build quality than both.

@Kara

Haswell runs significantly hotter than IB. Look at the GE60 and Y510p versus their IB counterparts.

 

765m has exactly double the processing cores as 750m but both use a limited 128-bit memory interface. So theoretically 765m can have double the performance clock-for-clock but not so much in the presence of memory bottleneck. 2880x1800 is out of reach for almost any mobile graphics card.. Use that resolution to look at pictures only

 

Laughing right now imagining those who want better build quality so spend an addition $1K for Blade or Apple. What are you fools doing? Stomping on your laptop? Sitting on it? Farting on it? Eating off it? Punching it? What the hell do you do that you need to waste money on the supposed better build quality?

Considering I never keep a laptop for more than a few years, I don't get why you need something like an Apple. Other than to just sit in a cafe and look pretty like a self involved, low self-esteem tween. More hilarious the quality of a laptop and how long it will last and reliability has nothing to do with if it will boost your sense of self worth among tween morons in your local college cafe. Seems there are plenty of Sager/Clevo owners who have machines functioning perfectly after 6-8 years, and a huge mob of MSI owners have been continuously upgrading and maintaining their machines.

 

lol. epic points z

 

Well to be fair to Razer, besides the horrible screen on the Blade, it's an all around perfect laptop. The machine stays cool, is surprisingly silent, is incredibly portable, pretty durable, and packs a good bit of power. If they actually put a good 1080p screen in the next one and maybe bump the ssd up a little more, then I would easily pay 2K and never have a second thought.

 

Yeah I'd be all over a Blade 14 with even a half-decent 900p TN panel if not an IPS, which should be required if they're gonna charge that much. 900p because 1080p is too much for a midrange GPU like the 765M to handle, and at 14" it doesn't make much of a difference to me anyway. The way I see it, the Blade serves its intended purpose extremely well, not to mention the great build quality and just looking sexy in general. Like a hot girlfriend you don't mind at all being seen in public with.

 

What did you decide in the end? I am also in doubt between MBP and the XMG C703 which is based on the MSI but slighly cooler apparently: Review Schenker XMG C703 (MSI MS-1771) Notebook - NotebookCheck.net Reviews

I am mostly interested in Adobe CC performance. While the C703 has the better GPU I know Adobe software tends to run better on OSX overall...

 

That hasn't been the case for a while. If using Adobe software is a priority, you will want to stick with a Windows machine.
