Concerns on N850HP6

Hi, new to NBR forums here. Some introduction to myself first: I've been recommending laptops in LTT forums for quite a long time under user name ZM Fong. Anyway, my friend is looking for a gaming laptop and he asked me for recommendations. I know there's N850HP6 (which can be bought from different resellers) which fits his budget and requirements. However, after Googling for a while, I found out that N850HP6 runs too hot even after a repaste (yes I do know that undervolting might help). Under load it has high inner temps, high surface temps and high fan noise. Should I consider it? What do you think on this model?

 

Uhm, honestly I don't know if this is the right forum to ask for something like this. People tend to be very biased towards clevo notebooks.

But yes, the notebook has terrible temperatures, even after repaste its nothing short of a disaster, for some reason clevo never learns. The garbage tripod design from the GPU from the 2010 - 2014 models which caused a lot of trouble still havent teached clevo that it's stupid to build them. And yet, now they made a tripod design on the CPU and GPU, well done.

Due to terrible fits because of poor designchoices, repaste really doesn't help that much, the fans are going to be very loud as well, thanks to very poor fan control which almost all clevo notebooks suffer from it's going to be loud, like a yet.

Speakers are nothing short of a disaster either. But then again your friend might not even care.

Be wise, get a GT62VR, don't accept garbage that needs fixing after you buy it.

 

My principle Is always 'choose model not brand'. I don't have any bias on Clevos.

Thanks for the info. GT62VR isn't available in my country. Guess I have to wait for more CFL-H models or go for N950TP6 with i5 8400 which also fits his budget.

 

The main problem with that model wasn't a tripod heat sink design (although this is something Clevo shouldn't have done), but it was fact that there was only 1 fan and two heatpipes cooling the 1060. The CPU fan clearly wasn't big enough either.

This is how a GPU should be cooled:

That's a Clevo P950HP6. The GPU is to the left and the CPU to the right. If you look at the CPU fan, you'll notice the two heat pipes border TWO sides of the fan (two exhausts, one to the left and one on the back) vs only one side on the N850HP6 (see: ). This greatly increases rate at which heat is removed from the CPU.

 

Wrong notebook my friend.



Are you cringing yet?

Also that heatsink design which you want to present as something good, is actually filled with fitting issues due to tripod design. 2 Fans can't cool properly because of poor heat transfer. People use clips to try and fix this terrible design flaw.

 

You did not read his post. He was using the picture as a comparison.

Also flatly stating 2 fans is not good enough ignores major variables such as fan size, depth, heatsink materials, venting and fin depth/arrangement.

The np7850 does run hotter than the higher end models but it delivers a very good gaming experience regardless.

 

Maybe P650HP6 then? Pretty same cooling solution like in P950HP6.

"Don't buy Intel's garbage CPUs, that have to be repasted after buying." Isn't it obvious that heavier, thicker and pricier laptop will have better cooling? Hell, buy a desktop, all laptops are garbage.

Some even made custom waterblocks to replace Intel's garbage IHS. OMG, why do they even computer?!

 

The 950 series does perfectly fine and the latest ones will do a great job as a daily driver.

 

No one sells P650HP6 lol

 

I've been eyeing up that heatsink.

 

IIRC I was asking on the other thread, why there're no heatsink solutions for delidded CPUs without IHS for laptops. They could really benefit from those after all.

 

Because you don't release official oem parts for custom mods to Intel hardware.
