so isu sends us this email they're like hey do you guys want to check out our
latest and game gadis
do you want to check out our latest and greatest hulking monstrosity of a gaming
laptop the g703g
i think it's got two g's for like gg for like your opponents won't know what hit
him because it weighs like a thousand pounds
anyway we've kind of been into the thin and light thing lately so we message
back we're like well what's special about it and they go oh well it's got
six cores and it overclocks to five gigahertz and we were like
oh okay let's take it for a spin
thermaltake's view 37 mid tower case has a fully modular design and can support
up to an eatx motherboard check it out at the link below to learn more all
right so we've got a sneaking suspicion that we are going to need some extra
gear in order to make a five gigahertz overclock stick
so while alex sets that up over here i am going to unbox this monstrosity
that is heavy uh right around here so it's all ready
wow this thing is thick i mean just to put it in perspective
this is an ultrabook for scale that is a razer blade stealth and that
is the g703g i think this thing is even thicker than the gx800 isn't it uh
about the same i would say the same all right and the gx800 though had dual
1080s in sli in it i mean that's one critical difference
this one's only got a single gtx 1080
with that said though we do understand why they need all of this thickness and
that's because even though the GPU power might not be as much it's actually
running an Intel core i9 CPU so this is
one of the first laptops out in the wild with an Intel core i9 6 core mobile CPU
and the first one that we've seen that
is over clockable
holy crap like it feels like it's on a platform it's so high above the desk
this is crazy these overclockable beasts according to
ASUS go from 45 watts
up to a whopping 160
watts depending on the load that is why they need a thicker chassis
even though they've only got one graphics card so we suspect that we're gonna need some
uh cooling augmentation that's where blowing matron over here potentially
comes in later that's the fastest laptop we've ever
seen so far so beautiful teen
in cinebench yeah so that ryzen laptop was 13.99 or
so and that thing was an eight core processor i mean let's take a closer
look at this thing got your usb look how small a usb port looks next to it sd
card oh got an Ethernet Thunderbolt usb this and
then check this out HDMI mini displayport
every single one of these vents you can even
see the heat pipe sticking out there every single one of these is full of
these dense dense cooling fins
and the fans inside are no slouches either
check this out okay when i got my mic close to it hit it you can really hear
them spin up there goes a benchmark
are we in over boost mode right now
very nice so how how hot is this right now 99
degrees yes 99 degrees
yep even when it sounds like that so we
got 1.427 volts on the core right there or 1.39 was the
highest but it's running at like four up to 4.8
gigahertz yeah so that's like pretty crazy
okay but can it hold that speed
at 99 degrees i think it's going down to like 4.3 4.4
something like that okay so what's our next step why does it
have a dedicated xbox button we want the rog gaming center right yeah okay go in
full manual so apply manual yes we know
you can damage your stuff and now you just want to get rid of that and restart it because it's it's just
bad all around okay so i noticed you forgot to bring tape
before for our diy shroud
what do we need tape for for our diy shroud
um we take duct tape
and we kind of like it's called duct tape so we build a duct
do that and then we put a blowing metronome on there well we wanted we'd
want the blowing matron like down here wouldn't we so then there it's helping the fans not
blowing against them no no it would suck out oh i see what should be yeah we need
another power supply this thing can't provide enough power for four blowing
matrons they each draw five amps
this is so stupid here's where we're gonna find out how
well it handles it with just its own fans right like in fairness to the laptop if it if
it does it okay then we won't need any of this stuff
it's not going to yeah i don't think it's going to either um so
what do we want here one point seven one point two seven two not 1.7
can we make the turbo boost power max 100 and yo yeah it can go up to 200
according to its own defaults all right that's uh yeah 215 seems fine
apply that
laptops laptops were not made for this kind of thing
that moment when you need an external 750 watt power supply to run your laptop
just the fans just just for the fans
oh we're gonna have to secure those somehow
4.8 gigahertz at 1.27 volts it's been
stable for the last 20 seconds which i think is good enough that's pretty good
stability testing yeah good work okay so we're gonna try five
what's the CPU temp right now it's like 93.
yeah i wonder if we just run cinebench now though if it'll be better
blue screen all right do you want to just say screw
faffing around with this and just liquid metal it right now one more fine tune oh
sure all right let's liquid metal it
ah oh my finger no don't squeeze it together like a typical ifixit tear down
is like so professional and like there's just like two guys reaming on a laptop
oh
did you hear a screw fall meanwhile this is the battery
you don't buy a gaming laptop for the stellar battery life alright so there's
our GPU gtx 1080 and i haven't seen this
in a long time the CPU that core i9 CPU
has the same number of heat pipes to it as the entire GPU GPU vrm and GPU memory
oh that's cool here's the uh it's got a built-in xbox controller doodad um i
think the whole assembly has to come off yeah they went through the bottom of
that boy all right well that's one way to do it
both the CPU and the GPU have some kind of a barrier on them already so we've
got four phase power over here and then we've got this
gigantic rectangular die and then this
like trippy rectangular package so you can see here the pci express link to the
GPU is just right there on the surface level
of pcb we're gonna do the GPU while we're in
here right oh yeah okay cool
oh right i forgot about that side so next step is to get some liquid metal
prepared oh i dropped it on my hand ah it burns
no i'm just kidding yeah you can eat that stuff and you'll be fine really
yeah that's cool i wouldn't recommend it
gallium is fine though to eat like it's safe but it's fine watch
well people always say like could you cool a person with liquid
metal no who says that what are you talking about people on the forums all
the time it's still beating in a big way
it's probably just not warm enough whereas the CPU was sitting in my hand
like this the whole time oh yeah yeah okay so as long as we put this on
perfectly we won't get any excess liquid metal all over anything
and what ASUS is going to think watching this all right let's put this thing back
together so the cooler is back on so technically we could run a test now
it doesn't have storage in it that's fine no it seems easy
yeah i'm sure they'll work without screws no we can flip it over it should
be okay we could also just put the bottom on it
alex you only live once this laptop might only live once
see yeah
it booted well let's do it you're only going to
give it 1.3 it's not going to be stable i think that'll be fine at 1.3
all right just
start testing
okay i guess you're right a little bit
okay 1.45 this time 1.45 all right
it's beautiful oh it is
oh wow that is beautiful right there way better
five gigahertz 80 degrees
holy crap why is the score lower
what just happened oh wait it says this is maximum oh no
current current correct way down it's way down we're looking at the wrong damn
column oh the powermax is at 160 watts
let's just unlimit all the things okay and trying again
okay it is still hitting the current limit though it is too i think we need to drop the
voltage oh yeah 3.9 this one hits this one's
hitting four point something okay we have to drop the voltage
boom
all right unstable
two 0.425 let's split the difference
oh currently wait oh we're right we're riding the line
and we're hitting 94 degrees oh is that
our fastest yet yup i think so yep okay so let's try 1.415
this seems to be a matter of just finding exactly
the right balancing point it's thermal throttling now but now it's thermal
throttling oh that was even higher that's even this is our highest score
yet we almost broke 1500 in cinebench so now all we have to do is
cool it down a bit more yep okay
bring on the blowy matrons you want black or you want gray i'll take black
all right let's do this should we shut her down for now does it
need to be shut down uh well why don't we investigate a little bit first
there's three heat pipes from the CPU to this one so this is clearly the main
CPU cooler yeah so really though this is the only one
that we have to beef up probably build out
some bottom ducts like this and then it will it can stick to that so
that it's less likely to uh how far do we want to fall over i think that's good
all right okay so this is a bit of a delicate operation
well that looks perfectly legitimate yeah
i see nothing wrong with this this might just work should we like slowly ramp it
up what okay so you're just thinking full force
free from the gecko 38
37.
so we just dropped like six degrees
at idle yeah let's go let's go i want to put
another one on i don't even think we're gonna need it
really yeah cause remember too this one's probably gonna suck from the other
one too true let's go go ahead hit it all right
are you even at 12 volt can you go higher
so 16 volts all right
okay here we go
70 82
oh is it gonna hold i think it's gonna hold
i think it's gonna hold 92.94
come on baby finish
come on come on
no way we got 69 in there too i know right
we hit like 94 degrees
and no throttling five gigahertz in a laptop
thanks to redneck engineering and blowing matron you guys saw it here
first do you want to try 5.1
i i don't know if my heart could take it
sure
all right
