The heatsink uses a big vapor chamber to get the heat moving

Looking good, can't wait to see it fully assembled and running.

Where have you ordered it from?

spikerules · 20 Aug 2016 at 08:08

Nice! It would be nice to also know the cost

Meaker · 20 Aug 2016 at 20:15

It's from the states and I don't want to get banned from the forum

Looking good. Will run with my 980M and hope the 1070 fits

, is that an extra power mount or an SLI bridge connector on the 1080?

Meaker · 21 Aug 2016 at 07:30

Each has an 8 pin plug for extra power. The old mobile 40 pin sli connector returns (the white connector at the bottom left).

You may have to target the 1070 which msi will be making a non aux connector version of.

Aye, have been following the posts on NBR

MSI "could" rake in quite a profit if their 1070 is able to fit into other systems

Why is there bits blacked out on the RAM?

Meaker · 22 Aug 2016 at 08:13

Just serial numbers, force of habit from me.

Meaker · 23 Aug 2016 at 07:19

Right the machine should be crossing the Atlantic soon

It should be here and I'll bring it along to the insomnia gaming festival

I'll be around the MSI stand .

I've been looking at the new laptops even though I told myself I wouldn't buy a new one, I never listen to myself.

MSI is my favourite brand at the moment.

Not sure what to do with my current one, been trying to sell for a while but no takers.

Meaker · 23 Aug 2016 at 10:20

If I had to pick an MSI it would be a gt73 1080, it looks like a well balanced machine.

So in GTA V running 1440p with all sliders to maxed I get a boost clock of around 1775 (scripted scenes) -1826mhz (out and about)

I'll try and get some shadowplay footage uploaded.

CPU is currently at 4.6ghz with a -50mv undervolt.

Ram is at 2926mhz due to divider issues at the higher end but is running tighter timings as a result.

16-18-18-44-526 (stock)

to

16-17-17-39-421 (settings)

So that should be fine

The screen bleed has put me off MSI, if I'm gonna part with £2500 I want quality.

Here is a firestrike ultra run with +150mhz core, +500 memory and 4.4ghz cpu:
