so we have our second MSI video for the show the first one was looking at the x5 70 motherboards and now we're back looking at the GT 76 Titan and this one is pretty special so we already previously talked about the actually with - talked about the Alienware area 51 m or whatever it's called I don't know their names anymore so we talked with that when it's got a soccer ball ninety nine hundred K it's very interesting because it's a soccer ball ninety nine hundred K this does the same thing in that it is a socketable cpu so if you really wanted to you could actually replace it I suppose although will come with the ninety nine hundred cabe and it's supposed to be overclockable before that this video is brought to you by the gigabyte zee 390 a RS master motherboard which comes equipped with one of the more powerful z 390 VRMs for heavier overclocks on the new ninth gen intel cpus the ARS master is also one of the few motherboards with a real heatsink this generation featuring a mix of high surface area fins and looks oriented cover blocks oh and it's also got updated RDV illumination learn more at the link below details are not yet final there's even a sticker on it that says this is an engineering sample everything you see today is not 100% final but it's getting close and the pricing on it is going to be in the range of maybe 3500 to 5000 depending on the SKU what we're going to do is take the back off here and just look at the cooling solution that's on there today it should be pretty cool as to what you'll get and talk about the potential options and bios for overclocking things like that so you if msi can make up for where Alienware let us down in the video with Linus so let's let's start with the teardown them very simple here there's a couple screws so these are all I think Philips and there shouldn't be any any hidden sneaky screws and this can't feel any there we're just gonna pull these out and I believe this is the only screwdriver we have and all of Taiwan so hopefully it will fit hahaha so we've got one two three four five six screws to go the solution here it goes up to an RT X 2080 my understanding is that there's not presently a 20 80 TI solution for notebook and thermal is hopefully obviously going to be the biggest challenge with anything like this where once you really start overclocking if you you want to do a good job on it you do need to remove power limits and that's where the area 51 fell short it's a tremendously interesting laptop unfortunately the thermal designs not particularly good on the area 51 and even when we did the special cooling solution that we did with Linus which was to open it and put a liquid cooler on it and attach it to a chiller at below zero degrees Celsius it was still very limiting and that's because the BIOS didn't have enough options for us MSI has a few more options in BIOS that we've seen so far and that makes it promising for the for the student our limits okay so I have this I have this remove by the team to make sure I don't damage the engineering sample here so let's let's talk about a few things first of all this is important and I didn't mention it yet this is a a dual power adapter so you've got two power adapters plugging into one cable this is a custom cable plugs into the laptop there are we've talked about this ages ago with the CyberPower notebooks at MSI also makes where the 2's are power adapters kind of stop at around 300 watts for certification reasons and practicality reasons so these connect into one and then you have your power break that can I steal a laptop and there's what the connector looks like on the end that goes into the adapter the the item that merges them so that's important you do need a lot of power for this we had power limit options and BIOS haven't tested them but they do seem to go up to at least 600 watts which is great if it works and ICC maxes in there as well which is an issue we had with the Alienware one there was no ICC max control you really don't have to go too crazy on it to get an extra boost in overclocking but yeah we're still just didn't give us enough to work with so again even though Linus and I did the chilled water approach you should be able to still overclock reasonably high on the cooler in there and I just didn't do it this one does have a bit more calm of a cooler so there are a lot of fans there's two that we can see exposed right here and is it two more fans so for for fans total the additional two fans that are not revealed presently are going to be on this side and they're sort of in this territory of the notebook but we're not going to going to be able to see those today because we're only opening the bottom so you have to see the two on the bottom and then for the cooling solution we have it looks like ten millimeter heat pipe with a couple of eights so CPU that's energy P over here and actually as as I've just realized you can check by looking at the socket so there is an Intel ILM in there and that's what's kind of cool about these these types of notebooks that's what's exciting about them even if it may not be the the most common use case for a notebook it's an interesting one because that's actually an Intel independent loading mechanism that they use on a motherboard and in fact you can see part of the clamp right there where you can release the CPU from the socket so it's exactly like a standard motherboard breaking socket the CPU let's see there's one two three four five heat pipes running through the cold plate contacting the CPU it's supposed to be a direct contact cold plate but we're not going to disassemble that today and then the rest of its heat sinking over to these aluminum fin stacks towards the back of the laptop where there's a grill and then the air is going to get pulled and pulled through one side here and pushed out the other to cool down the fin stack and the heap pipes that are connected to it so cooling solution is pretty big how good it is will depend on a lot of things and we're not going to know until we test it if we do and again I'll note that this is not a hundred ton final so some of this should change color it should be more black out or gold not not sort of the unfinished metal look you have here but it gives you a first look and the battery is is really just kind of a joke at this point because honestly you're only going to use this battery if you're transporting it from one room to the other this is a desktop replacement this is not meant to be something you use on a plane or something like that although overclocking on a plane might be a video idea for the future so well we'll look into it some more as we get more information we have some b-roll shots of the notebook as well on the top side there's a lot of RGB LEDs it does go up to a twenty eighty it goes up to a ninety nine hundred k the the KS at the time of this video going live will have just been announced and so no one really knows about it but no word on that in here it is just a 90 100 k preset the five gigahertz though which I'm aside is capable of doing with standard 900 case if they want to memory support 20 26 66 megahertz stock you can do some every overclocking and bios we have footage of BIOS to show that off and then the panel there's a 1080 144 Hertz option and a 4k option that's IPS so that's what we know about the notebook for now it's the GT 76 let Emma side know what you think below obviously this is not a mainstream consumer ski or this is a Halo product but halo products are interesting and can be pretty fun to work with if only for overclocking a laptop so we'll look we'll look at this more in the future as it nears finalization but that's it for this one check back for MSI x58
