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

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:10.920
about the GX 660r from MSI so this is my

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:12.599
first series of follow-up videos and I'm

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:17.880
just going to show you guys the touch sensitive buttons here at the top of the

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

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:26.720
one that I hate which is the wireless button which because it's only a visual

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

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:34.160
regular basis we got one of those for Bluetooth we got one of those for eco

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

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:44.719
gaming mode to presentation mode to office mode to Turbo battery mode and

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

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

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.879
okay this one don't remember what that does either

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

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:04.799
GHz I'm going to turn on Prime 95 and

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

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:19.000
now check this out check this out I'm going to press the turbo button bam

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:24.200
turbo on okay so first it went

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.320
down and now it goes up 1. n55 GHz so it

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:30.960
actually overclocked the bus speed not the multiplier so this is a OneTouch

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:35.680
overclocking button that actually doesn't affect Intel speed step it

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

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:48.360
and then I do for example a single threaded small fft single thread so if I

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:55.360
stress a single core you're going to see that my clock

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:57.280
speed is going to be bam 2652 GHz

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

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:07.600
going to go back back down until speed step is enabled

00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:10.039
and wait is that the same no that's not

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:15.480
the same that's less excellent so that was what I was trying to demonstrate now

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:20.400
here's another cool feature this is the

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:20.400
OMG the laptop is noisy button

00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:31.280
listen slowly ramps up but basically

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

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:41.599
if you know you're going to be doing something intensive you don't have uh

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:42.840
like a laptop cooling pad available you

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:48.080
want to make sure that everything's going to stay running nice and cool well

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

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.280
as possible regardless of what you are doing with it if you're running a game

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:01.040
if you're running uh anything else doesn't really matter so here we got

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:05.319
Prime 95 on I'm going to open up my I actually don't

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

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:17.920
out and it does so even running quad

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.440
instances of prime 95 on this quad core 8 thread processor we're not getting

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:27.840
above 70° which is pretty darn respectable for a notebook that is

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.000
overclocked cool beans thanks for checking out Linus techtips don't forget

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.760
to subscribe and that would make me happy
