1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,680
now I know it's been a while but I did promise you guys some follow-up videos

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:10,920
about the GX 660r from MSI so this is my

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,599
first series of follow-up videos and I'm

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,880
just going to show you guys the touch sensitive buttons here at the top of the

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,680
laptop and what a couple of my favorite ones do I mean first of all there's the

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,720
one that I hate which is the wireless button which because it's only a visual

7
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:29,599
indicator a light whether it's on or off I turn off my wireless on a fairly

8
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:34,160
regular basis we got one of those for Bluetooth we got one of those for eco

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:39,559
mode as well so you can see that's going to change from eco mode to movie mode to

10
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:44,719
gaming mode to presentation mode to office mode to Turbo battery mode and

11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:49,399
off so that's a pretty neat little thing I actually don't know what this one does

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,600
what happens if I press that okay well I don't know what that one does yet uh

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:55,879
okay this one don't remember what that does either

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:03,320
these are my favorites though these are the ones I actually care about so check this out okay so our core speed is 931

15
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,799
GHz I'm going to turn on Prime 95 and

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:12,159
you're going to see the core speed is going to jump up to uh 1.86 2 gahz okay

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:19,000
now check this out check this out I'm going to press the turbo button bam

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:24,200
turbo on okay so first it went

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,320
down and now it goes up 1. n55 GHz so it

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,960
actually overclocked the bus speed not the multiplier so this is a OneTouch

21
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:35,680
overclocking button that actually doesn't affect Intel speed step it

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:42,720
doesn't affect turbo boost so here watch this if I take my Prime 95 and I stop it

23
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:48,360
and then I do for example a single threaded small fft single thread so if I

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:55,360
stress a single core you're going to see that my clock

25
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,280
speed is going to be bam 2652 GHz

26
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,880
whereas if I turn turbo off so I'm going to press the turbo button again and it's

27
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:07,600
going to go back back down until speed step is enabled

28
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:10,039
and wait is that the same no that's not

29
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:15,480
the same that's less excellent so that was what I was trying to demonstrate now

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:20,400
here's another cool feature this is the

31
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,400
OMG the laptop is noisy button

32
00:02:25,519 --> 00:02:31,280
listen slowly ramps up but basically

33
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,480
this is like a turbo cooling mode for the laptop that allows you to if you're

34
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:41,599
if you know you're going to be doing something intensive you don't have uh

35
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,840
like a laptop cooling pad available you

36
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,080
want to make sure that everything's going to stay running nice and cool well

37
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:53,400
that's one way that you can make sure that it is going to be running as cool

38
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:57,280
as possible regardless of what you are doing with it if you're running a game

39
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,040
if you're running uh anything else doesn't really matter so here we got

40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,319
Prime 95 on I'm going to open up my I actually don't

41
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:15,120
know if my copy of real temp is going to work on this CPU so I guess we'll find

42
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:17,920
out and it does so even running quad

43
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,440
instances of prime 95 on this quad core 8 thread processor we're not getting

44
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:27,840
above 70° which is pretty darn respectable for a notebook that is

45
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,000
overclocked cool beans thanks for checking out Linus techtips don't forget

46
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,760
to subscribe and that would make me happy
