    Anyway i decided to sell my MSI GX60 on Ebay. It is powerfull enough after overclocking for gaming but not as strong as intel core i7 haswell with 8 threads and i need it for programming and compilation not for gaming and the only way to do it more or less compfortable is to use top intel/nvidia combination. I add some pictures on ebay to show how far it can go after overclocking with cooling system modification i made. It is a real gaming machine but not a workstation. All overclocking has been made with AMD Overdrive + Baredite to avoid TDP limitation. Very good cooling modification for the laptop with a heatsink from MSI GT60 and additional heatsinks for GPU and CPU and 100% unlocked BIOS. Now the laptop is perfectly optimized for gaming, but for workstation level is anyway not powerfull enough.The best stable result is 4,7 Ghz. Note bad for a laptop. Now it is probably the best Laptop with 4 threads CPU on the market.
