Video review of the laptop MSI GT72S 6QF Dragon Edition

MSI GT72S 6QF Dragon Edition is a special edition of the powerful MSI GT72S gaming laptop, which features a desktop version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphics card (with 8 GB GDDR5) and an Intel Core i7-6820HK processor with an unlocked multiplier (supports overclocking to 4.1 GHz at all four cores).

In this video review, we will test the overclocking potential of not only the processor itself, but also the GTX 980 video card, and also check whether the laptop cooling system can handle the load imposed on it.Tests will traditionally be carried out both in synthetic benchmarks and in the most modern video games. Too lazy to watch the video, we immediately announce the result: the system really behaves stably during acceleration and, more surprisingly, does not have problems with overheating. CPU overclocking can be controlled both manually and automatically through a special utility from MSI. Overclocking is controlled by the familiar GPU MSI Afterburner, although it should be noted that the overclocking potential of this video card is not as great as that of full-fledged desktop counterparts.

For the toughest scenarios, a special turbo-cooling mode is provided in which both fans spin at maximum speed.

The laptop display is a 17.3-inch matte with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and G-SYNC support (UHD models are already on sale, but for a gaming laptop, in our opinion, this resolution is excessive). NVIDIA Optimus technology is not supported; switching from discrete graphics to the integrated video core requires a reboot. The amount of RAM is up to 64 GB DDR4, in easy access there are two slots. The storage system is represented by a 1000 GB hard drive (7200 rpm) and Super Raid 4, which allows you to combine two M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 X4 SSDs in RAID0. It should also be noted the gaming keyboard from SteelSeries with multi-colored variable backlight and excellent speaker system 2.1 with a built-in subwoofer from Dynaudio.
