now I know it's been a while but I did promise you guys some follow-up videos
about the GX 660r from MSI so this is my
first series of follow-up videos and I'm
just going to show you guys the touch sensitive buttons here at the top of the
laptop and what a couple of my favorite ones do I mean first of all there's the
one that I hate which is the wireless button which because it's only a visual
indicator a light whether it's on or off I turn off my wireless on a fairly
regular basis we got one of those for Bluetooth we got one of those for eco
mode as well so you can see that's going to change from eco mode to movie mode to
gaming mode to presentation mode to office mode to Turbo battery mode and
off so that's a pretty neat little thing I actually don't know what this one does
what happens if I press that okay well I don't know what that one does yet uh
okay this one don't remember what that does either
these are my favorites though these are the ones I actually care about so check this out okay so our core speed is 931
GHz I'm going to turn on Prime 95 and
you're going to see the core speed is going to jump up to uh 1.86 2 gahz okay
now check this out check this out I'm going to press the turbo button bam
turbo on okay so first it went
down and now it goes up 1. n55 GHz so it
actually overclocked the bus speed not the multiplier so this is a OneTouch
overclocking button that actually doesn't affect Intel speed step it
doesn't affect turbo boost so here watch this if I take my Prime 95 and I stop it
and then I do for example a single threaded small fft single thread so if I
stress a single core you're going to see that my clock
speed is going to be bam 2652 GHz
whereas if I turn turbo off so I'm going to press the turbo button again and it's
going to go back back down until speed step is enabled
and wait is that the same no that's not
the same that's less excellent so that was what I was trying to demonstrate now
here's another cool feature this is the
OMG the laptop is noisy button
listen slowly ramps up but basically
this is like a turbo cooling mode for the laptop that allows you to if you're
if you know you're going to be doing something intensive you don't have uh
like a laptop cooling pad available you
want to make sure that everything's going to stay running nice and cool well
that's one way that you can make sure that it is going to be running as cool
as possible regardless of what you are doing with it if you're running a game
if you're running uh anything else doesn't really matter so here we got
Prime 95 on I'm going to open up my I actually don't
know if my copy of real temp is going to work on this CPU so I guess we'll find
out and it does so even running quad
instances of prime 95 on this quad core 8 thread processor we're not getting
above 70° which is pretty darn respectable for a notebook that is
overclocked cool beans thanks for checking out Linus techtips don't forget
to subscribe and that would make me happy
