Gigabyte Aero 15 X9 Thermal Testing, AI, Overclocking and Undervolting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- The Gigabyte Aero 15 X9 is a thin and powerful laptop, but how hot does it get, and is there any throttling? In this video we’ll take a detailed look at performance, see if there are any thermal or power limits, and find out what can be done to improve gaming performance and temperatures.
I’ll investigate Gigabyte’s new AI feature, undervolting, overclocking, and show you how hot the laptop gets while gaming and under stress test with different settings, let you hear total system fan noise, and see hot spots with a thermal camera.

Dave2D on the i9 model: "The thing I like the most about this system was the fact that it had excellent thermals": ruclips.net/video/s1C2cNdAzI0/видео.html
Me: 👀
Me: 2 heatpipes, yea no.
I'm sure he has some sort of "incentive" to make such a bold claim with just 1 3D firestrike benchmark..
@@ymaizosz that's the thing, im pretty sure thats the only test he does. cold start, load up firestrike 'oh it only hit 80c! runs cool!' then general use to test battery life. hes admitted he doesnt spend much time on his videos, he has a real job and a real life to focus on hes glad this is just a hobby for him
@@vanillatwilight2968 do you own one of these. i do? i know youve seen jarrods videos but its amazing how little those 2 can handle. poor little bastards
@@bradhaines3142 That's true, but I mean I do this on the side too so... 😛
This kind of detailed and HONEST review is the reason why I'm subscribed to your channel.. Please don't change even when you have 1 million subs.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks!
I really love your videos, they are so honest.
Thanks!
I don't know why, but I like the way you say "Aero 15x/15 x9"
Haha that's lucky then, I feel like it's the laptop I have the most videos on 😛
For undervolting my HP Omen dc-0006nm I was using Cinebench R15, to be exact, 30 runs of it in a loop. ThrottleStop was my undervolting tool, and HwInfo64 was my diagnostic tool.
Started the process with -125 mV of undervolt (both core and the cache), and then worked my way "up" by moving the slider in throttlestop by one increment (again, on both core and the cache). Runs after the undervolt changes were done after at least 20 minutes of cooldown, but mostly, they were run the other day. Also, I was doing all the tests while ambient temperature was between 21 and 22 degrees celsius.
"Cold boot, no diagnostics, no unnecessary background programs" runs were also run, to see what's the absolute maximum number that could be achieved (only 1 run). That run is not included in the 30-run average. Let's call it a "Record run".
Long story short: bests results were achieved with -150.4 mV undervolt. With that undervolt, I was able to achieve 1163.5 point as 30 run average, which is close to stock record run (1177 points). For comparison, stock 30-run average was 1014.93 points. The -150.4 mV record run was 1268 points.
The fans are also much much quieter now and they stay at the same level for as much as you stress the cpu.
Furthermore, I undervolted the GPU, by exactly following Bob O All Trades' video on that topic (since the gpu is the same). Regarding that, I didn't get any performance, but I shaved, around 5 degrees of the gpu, which resulted in further reduction in fan rpm's, and therfore, the noise.
I benefited a lot from that noise reduction, especially in PUBG solo games, where before, I could hear the fans even through my closed headphones, but not anymore. Now the fan noise under full cpu+gpu load is exactly the same as my Coolermaster U2 cooling pad produces, which is almost unbelievable (the cooling pad wasn't used during testing, not even as a stand).
To conclude, I cannot emphasize how much I recommend and encourage others to do what I did, the difference is day and night.
Nice improvements! Yeah Bob's guide is great, I always link it any time anyone asks me how to do undervolting 👍
Great video! Can't wait to see the Razer Blade 15 RTX video. I can't find anywhere the performance difference between the Razer blade 2060 and the Razer blade 2070 MaxQ. What's the difference since the 2060 is not a MaxQ?
Thanks! I'm not sure yet as I don't have any 2060 laptops to compare with just yet.
@@JarrodsTech, You can be the first, who will do it, I can't find this comparison in RUclips.
From what I've found, the RTX2060 vs. RTX 2070 Max-Q is about 10-15% difference in real-world performance (while nvidia is claiming 20%). If you overclock both GPU's you might be able to bump out another %3-5 difference there. Neither card will typically throttle, especially at max fan speeds. For comparison's sake, the RTX2060 ~ GTX1070 Max-Q, RTX2070 Max-Q ~ GTX1080 Max-Q (performance wise); generally speaking that is, each laptop will differ slightly based on design and thermals. From current pricing of available options, the 2070 max-q will run you about $200 more than the 2060; worth it in my opinion if you are already spending $$$ to get top-tier performance. The 2080/2080 max-q is way past the price per performance ratio and not even close to worth spending the extra $500 or so over the 2070/2070 max-q and $700 over the 2060.
SUPER informative. I'm definitely not going to get it now that I've seen these, probably won't get a laptop at all. This macbook pro from 2015 works totally fine for watching youtube.
If what you have now works fine then yeah no real reason to upgrade. Hopefully the Intel 9th gen version can give some cooling, the 8750H is quite hot in thin machines.
@@JarrodsTech I mean I can't game on it xD. But I probably don't need to carry it around everywhere. My brother made that mistake and bought a gs65, it just stays on the table where he games at.
Nice video pal
Waiting for Aorus 15
Keep up😉
Thanks! Hopefully not long until I get that one 😃
Jarrod thank you so much for the content, posted these vids just before I was to buy this laptop. Potentially just saved me $1k aud as I was debating whether to get 15x or x9
Overall I still think it's a good laptop, I personally use the 15X (although it throttles slightly less based on my updated comparison testing that I'm working on) and have no problems using it to edit and export video.
Great review. The more reviews that come out, the more glad I am that I opted for the Asus Scar 2 GL704 with the RTX 2070. With the right tweaks, I keep a constant 3.7ghz on the CPU and my GPU stays anywhere from 1700-1900mhz. Whether gaming or stress testing, it never breaches 80°C. The best part is that I recently bought it for only $1799, which is a damned good deal compared to the thin & light models that have been reviewed so far.
Hows battery life from normal use? Thinking about some work on the game and gaming. If it can work
@@JustinWu I haven't used it unplugged all that much so I can't say exactly. It really depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to game unplugged then you might get 1-2 hours max. I can use ThrottleStop to disable turbo boost on the CPU and likely get anywhere from 5-8 hours of work done before having to recharge.
Awesome appreciate it! Def gaming expected low use.
Was more interested on web browsing and such side. Answered question thxA
Cool, I can't wait to check the RTX version!
Great Video as usual!! BTW, just got my 8750h+2070maxq alienware m17 yesterday, no overclocking and the GPU runs at 1725mhz pretty stable, pretty shocking results.
Thanks! Good to hear 😃
Do u like it? And is there any issues u notice yet?
@@JarrodsTech Thanks! 😄
@@RollandLoy I was very skeptical before it arrives due to all those M15 overheating issues, but after received it I was quite happy. There is one issue that I cannot seem to install or open the intel graphics control panel, the driver is installed, but the control panel is not there.
Harper Chen That could mean one of two things:
1. The Intel graphics control panel is being hidden by Windows, in which case, just look for it in your start menu where the rest of the Intel one click options are.
2. Your m15 has a G-Sync panel, in which case the Intel graphics will always be disabled, therefore being why you cannot find it.
That’s what I can think of anyways.
Thanks again for detailed honest video !! Waiting Scar II :)
Just waiting to get the RTX one!
Could you please do a guide on undervolting?
Yeah I wld like to see that
Try using Intel XTU (download the program). Its a simple program and user-friendly. Google a quick guide on how to use it and you're set. Quick reference, reduce core voltage in increments of -0.010V and run the built-in stress test for 5-15 mins and if it doesn't crash, keep reducing until it does. Then go back to the last stable voltage offset. Also look up some scripting to auto-run XTU undervolt at log-on, very helpful.
James B thank you!
It's on the to do list, but I highly suggest this video as it basically covers everything I'd want to go into already: ruclips.net/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/видео.html
Hey Jarrod! Could you tell please, have you noticed any cpu throttling while video editing/exporting from PrPro? I see that in Stress/Gaming tests it always throttles, but what about video editing and exporting? Does it always cut CPU clock speeds in this case too?
Choosing between Eluktronics MAG-15 and Aero 15 Classic/X9, both exactly the same price and specs. Based on you reviews I know that MAG-15 has much better thermals, but Aero's numpad and faster cardreader makes my choise a bit harder, because I don't know how they thermally differs for video editing/rendering tasks.
p.s.I don't compare with cooler Aero OLED, because it's much more expensive than MAG-15 with the same specs.
p.p.s. And just for the record, if you let me... It would be awesome to include some sort of unified "content creation" benchmark in your reviews, for example, each time export exact same 4K project from PrPro and Davinci Resolve. So it will be possible to compare render speeds between different reviews and laptops Because right now it's a bit hard to tell how different will they perform in content creation tasks even if they are pretty different in gaming/stess tests.
Thank you for your videos! :)
I didn't explicitly measure thermals while that happens, but given this is the same chassis design as my 15x and that thermal throttles all the time, I'd suspect yes. The newer Aero OLED design has significantly improvements to cooling compared to this model. I'd prefer the MAG-15 in terms of performance over these older Aero models personally, plus you get similar features like big battery/thunderbolt/SD and also mech keyboard. In newer reviews I have Adobe Premiere export times, unfortunately I don't have data for this Aero or the OLED, but I recently added my 15X results in.
Some people say that the next generation of aero 15 will be equipped with dual channel 8g*2, and there will be 1660ti and 2060 option, releasing in April.
Can’t be responsible for these words...
Hmm that will be interesting, can't wait to test it out if so.
It's seems like the cooling system of the new Aorus 15 is better than the one in the Aero, more pipes and located in defferent areas. Can't wait to see how it will perform
Yeah it did look like it had more from what I saw at CES, hopefully not long until I have one for testing!
Please do a review on the g7 and/or the g5 when they come out later this year
I was told that Dell in Australia should have review units available in late February, so I'm just waiting for that.
Hi my 1660ti aero 9750h looks like this. I thought it was a classic not a 15x as I saw the 15x has a much better cooling system supra 2 or something. am I confuse ? cheers
Luv how specific and useful info you provide ❤️
Wish if AI can detect the sweet UC spot :/
Btw
I am using Throttlestop (AI is disabled)
1) Undervolting CPU cache to -0.125
2) Undervolting CPU To -0.155 (I believe yours is -.12)
What's yours in term of both specifically the cache?
Just different parts you can control, yeah would be nice if the AI controlled more aspects, like if it did a check to work out what undervolt values were stable automatically.
@@JarrodsTech
It seems you skip my last point in the comment lol
I don't blame ya since the "Read more" becoming a meme xD
Perfectl analysis. Thanks Jarrod. For such heavy thermal throttling, I feel this is not worth to buy even with half of its price.
Cheers! Yeah I'd go for the 15x, runs a bit better and cheaper, working on the comparison now
Interesting video, thanks for another thorough upload. So it seems that it is really struggling with heat, I guess that's always going to be an issue with the form factor. I'm not seeing much gain from this RTX generation (over GTX) either which is I guess expected with the same chassis having more powerful hardware.
I know you've tested single vs dual channel ram before, but I'm assuming you'd get better temperature/more performance for a given temperature if you ran dual? I ended up getting a good sale deal with a Zephyrus M but it's single channel and the CPU temps are high, hopefully swapping out to dual channel will help a bit. I've seen many comparisons that drop CPU temps by a decent margin and also improve performance. Anyway, keep them coming Jarrod :)
Yeah you'd get more performance with dual channel presumably at running with the same temperatures, I didn't test temperatures with single and dual channel though. I did not see too much gain with the 2070 Max-Q either, I retested the 1070 Max-Q at the same time for an upcoming comparison.
How to know a CPU is throttling or not??what is the procedure to find out'🤔🤔🤔
You can use HWInfo or Intel XTU.
Funny thing I just realized: so you might know my aero 15x lcd panel started warping developing pattern on screen that resembles water ripples on screen. Watching your thermal image of aero really resembles pattern that was on screen so these laptops might have a design flaw if you run em hot. I suspect heat blowing on lcd panel warped inner film. To gigabyte defense they replaced panel w/o any issues but I did lose Pantone certification in process as they never calibrated my screen before installing it
Hmm interesting, yeah the heat exhausts below the screen and I did measure it pretty hot as you can see here, wonder if that's related, definitely something to keep an eye out for 🤔
Will you be doing a thermal and performance/battery test of the 15-W9 with the full-fat 2060 as well? I can't find reviews of it ANYWHERE.
I'm not sure, depends if Gigabyte has one to send over to me to borrow, I haven't heard anything about it so far.
@@JarrodsTech if you could, please make that a priority. The reduced load of the 2060 supposedly makes it perform even better than the max-Q 2070 when undervolted properly, and I'm anxious to see how the 94Whr battery will deal with it. My personal battery test in the past has been composed of three parts: a 4K 60fps uncompressed HDR10 or DCI-P3 stream, usually an hour long video so the loops are not noticeable, a macro in Word that keeps typing and saving, and lastly a giant Excel spreadsheet with queries being run on it repeatedly. If it lasts through that torture test for more than six hours, it'll be THE model to beat - and my future work laptop replacement.
Can you make a video on the 17 RTX2060 strix scar 2. Instead of the 1070 version i am thinking about that. Or is there any model you can recommend me at that level?
I'm still waiting for ASUS in Australia to have RTX models available for me to borrow. I haven't tested anything else with 2060 yet so can't offer a suggestion for now.
@@JarrodsTech alright no problem mate. Thank you.
I'm so torned between the following laptops: aero with 2070mq(3100 AUD), razer blade last gen with 1070 (I can get for 2800 AUD). The new blade is really expensive, but are they much improved in terms of thermal? cuz they are a bit thicker. Please help me Jarrod! I needed it for both work and gaming, that's why I need it to be portable and understated. Your videos are amazin btw!
I am testing the new Blade at the moment, the thermals are quite good, at least compared to my videos I did on the GTX Blade, not sure if due to improvements or maybe my GTX Blade was just bad, because I think mine was warmer than many other reviewers. Personally I prefer the Aero, I still use the 15x as my personal machine, you get slightly bigger battery over the Blade, ethernet port, and SD card slot, though it does get quite hot as you can see here when under sustained multicore load.
@@JarrodsTech wow thank you so much for the fast and detailed reply! So if I am going for the aero, does undervolting help? As long as temps can get tamed after undervolting I am happy. Performance wise, is the new razer with 2070 mq better than the aero? I've seen it somewhere I swear but that might be due to single channel memory.
It does help, I show the results in this video with CPU undervolting, if I recall it boosts performance but there was still some throttling in my specific workloads of choice - it will vary based on what you're actually doing on it though. I haven't used the 2070 Max-Q Razer Blade so honestly don't know, unfortunately mine had the 2080 Max-Q so not really comparable. Razer advertise their laptops as using dual channel memory, I think they only sell them in that configuration, though the Aero usually comes with single channel.
Looks like the 1070 Max-Q is okay for this laptop in terms of temps, but will wait for the comparison.
I'll have it up next week! Less difference than I thought though
@@JarrodsTech ohhh, that's interesting.. will wait for the video then.
What do you think of the Aero 15 Classic 1660ti vs Mag 15 1660ti, Aero is now 1350 so its a very competitive price
I'd get the mag-15 personally, classic aero like the one in the video still has the old thermal design too which isn't great (the new oled one is a nice improvement).
What did u use to overclock the gpu in this video?
also, what's cpu power limit boost? How did u do it, and how much did u change from the default value?
MSI Afterburner for GPU OC. You can try change the power limit through Intel XTU or throttlestop, but many laptops do this automatically when you use the higher performance modes, varies by machine though.
Jarrod! Really Good Review. Is it possible to for you to do the same benchmark on Intel Core i9-8950HK (2.9Ghz-4.8GHz) Version of the Aero 15 x9? I am sensing that the i9 would be limited by these throttling and might even perform on par with the i7-8750H
Thanks! I'm not sure, it depends on what Gigabyte have available for me to borrow, but I would be interesting in comparing it. I'm working on a comparison with the v8 and v9 at the moment.
@@JarrodsTech thumbs up!
Gotta say even if it still runs hot it's a nice looking device, especially on the inside.
Yeah my 15x runs hot too, doesn't throttle as much as this, but still does a great job for what I need.
@@JarrodsTech would you ever consider using one of the big Alienware laptops? From what I've read and watched online the 17 R4 was by far the most powerful sub-4000 dollar laptop until RTX graphics came out. To me for people who care about performance over mobility that just seems like a no brainer. What are your thoughts?
When I had the 15" 9900K laptop I was thinking, it's not actually that big! I still really prefer thinner and lighter for travelling though, 8750H and 1070 Max-Q are plenty for what I do while travelling (video editing) so I don't really need a larger one myself. I used to have a huge laptop in 2008 at school, broke my back carrying it around haha.
@@JarrodsTech My aunt has an old school Asus laptop from like 2011. This thing is freaking huge. I mean it makes the GL703 look like a bacterium. After seeing that laptop and then seeing Alienware's in stores, I stopped thinking Alienware was big. How does a laptop with a 2nd Gen i5 need to be 2 and a half inches thick? It doesn't even have a dedicated graphics card.
Ooh, yeah I had a Dell 1720 with some Core 2 Duo CPU haha, it's in the cupboard somewhere..
HaHa! Undervolt! I had to laugh at you question at the end, cause I'm always cramming the voltage to my CPU's/GPU's to get the most out of them! Keep Calm, And Raise V-Core!
Nice review as always Jarrod. The temps seem to be the biggest issue on that machine. Like you said, the cooler is just not sufficient for the task. Sure wish it was 24C here. We just had 2 feet of snow, and it hardly ever snows here.
Have a great day!
Thanks! Yeah it's a warm one. We've gotten through our 40c+ days, into the low 30s now!
@@TabalugaDragon I joke with Jarrod all the time. He undervolts laptops for better performance, and I crank up the voltage and the VRM frequencies in order to max out my desktop. I run all my hardware full throttle, 24/7 stable. Hence : Keep Calm, And Raise V-Core!
Will you review the new Trtion 500 from Acer? 👍 looking forward hehe 😁
Yes, but won't be getting it for a while, they told me last week review units will not be available in Australia until June.
@@JarrodsTech omg cant wait to see it haha 📌 thanks 😄
I bought the gigabyte aero 15 x9 rtx 2070 around 3 days ago , I worked on 3d modeling and rendering but I think it has some issues, like the control center doesn’t open when i choose the fusion, also it is not full charged when it plugged in just 95%I don’t know it will be solved or makes problem after a period ?! Do you think it is better to refund it ?
Are you on battery power? I heard it was a bug unless you're plugged in but not sure.
This laptop seems so nice, but then the heatpipes are way too little and thermal is a Big BIg BIG issue....
So sad that nowadays laptops needs thermal paste redone and really really deep undervolt to keep it cool.
When will you be getting MSi GL/GE series with 2060/2070?
Not sure, still waiting for them to get back to me, I'll follow up now.
@@JarrodsTech Can't wait, as I know MSI is usually more readily available, especially in my country, the prices and models are out, I just not sure what the performance and temp to expect.
Awaiting for your awesome Reviews!
👍
Did you get the warning of Watchdog is not enable using Intel XTU?
No, I've had that on other machines though, I think when the software of the laptop is trying to manage something, actually I think it was with the newer Aorus 15, probably because the AI is trying to control the settings.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for your reply! I got this warning everytime even disabling the AI. I went ahead and undervolted to -0.120, seems stable so far. I won't go further since I don't have the Watchdog support. By the way I wonder if making a backup of the C drive when the settings are normal would work as a restore of the voltage settings in case of failure.
Great vid
Thanks!
May i know after undervoltage intel.XTU Close and when windows restart there is no XTU Start up, and will it still affect by the undervoltage setring in.intel.XTU ?
It will not apply by default after reboot, you will need to take extra steps to make that happen, probably better off using Throttlestop.
Oof those thermals were rough. Was -.120v the lowest UV you could keep stable?
I only bother adjusting in increments of -.01v, that was the best I could do with this unit before getting crashing under stress test.
@@JarrodsTech gotcha. I don't fully know the reason for this but with the last gen Aero 15x I've been able to get a stable -.175 UV with a sustained 99% load but only if I keep the fans maxed. Otherwise I get a windows crash with this Yellow/Orange screen instead of the normal blue screen. Check out Engadget's review of the Aero 15x Y9 it's..... interesting. They said "the laptop gets warm, but not overly so. Thanks to its 2 fans" in regards to thermals 😂😂. Who knew that was all it took to chill an i9-8950HK and 2080 Max-Q?
It varies by CPU based on silicon lottery, I do usually just go for -0.15, but on some I've only been able to get -0.09 at best. Haha, yeah sounds like Dave2D's conclusion regarding thermals, I make a bit of fun of that in the pinned comment 😛
Hey Jarrod, do you know what screwdriver I need to open the back of this laptop? Just wanna put some thermal paste, cheers.
Yeah it's a TR6 / Torx bit. If you're interested, I go into depth on upgrading and replacing the paste in my 15X here: ruclips.net/video/e7xqKYxC06E/видео.html
Thank you! I just wasnt sure if the last years model had the same screw.. Thanks for clarifying, I will have to get one from bunnings lol
No problem! Yeah same screw size as the model last year.
Great honest video ! Can you review the new dell g7 15”?😍🙈
Thanks, I'm just waiting for Dell in Australia to have review units available for me to borrow, they told me last week this should be in late February.
Jarrod'sTech cant wait for you review !😍
Was this testing done with stock thermal paste?
Yes
How do u resolve the issue with the power limit throttling ? In my case the TDP set to 45W and it seems like once the package reaches 45W it starts to power limit throttling showing on XTU.
You can try undervolting the CPU which will improve it, otherwise if you can't boost the power limit in XTU (many laptops don't allow this) then there's nothing more you can do, assuming you have a large enough power brick.
@@JarrodsTech I have a 2018 Razer Blade with a gtx1070 Max Q
Cool, yeah definitely worth trying undervolting: ruclips.net/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/видео.html
Can this be reference with aero 15 classic.
This is the same chassis as the classic as far as I'm aware, only the new oled model changes
What is the comparison looking like to the 1070
I'll have a video up soon 👍
does undervolting lower performance/fps overall?
No, you get equal or slightly better performance, with better thermals.
This model and frame was suited better for the 1070, for the 20 series they need to make a new body frame and a stronger cooling system.
Even then I had similar overheating with my 1070 Max-Q version, I'm working on the comparison between the two now though so we'll see the temperature differences soon!
I plan to buy Acer predator Helios 500 i7 because it remain cool . But with launch of rtx .i thing not to buy it . Should i get rtx laptop or Acer.
The Helios 500 is still a good machine, I haven't heard plans about a new RTX model yet. Depends on whether you think you'll actually need RTX, or the slightly better performance for more money.
How does A.I affect performance?
it decides how to allocate wattage to cpu and gpu. GPU bound game the ai will drop the watts on the CPU so it wont get so hot, so the GPU can open up and so on.
You can see in the video, I show clock speeds, temperatures, and Far Cry 5 FPS with the two AI modes on.
Thanks for info
2 pipes isnt enough. lets hope next gen they go ape and put 6. 4 might do it, but 6 should really get that heat out. also bigger higher power fans should actually make it quieter (slower rpm to move the same air, bigger motor also means lower pitch, no screaming eagle)
just my ideal cooling system lol. can always dream
Yeah I think what I'd want to see most out of the next generation would be a larger cooling system, I understand that would be difficult as it is a fairly thin machine, but I think something needs to be improved there.
@@JarrodsTech there are a couple of ways they could add and keep the same frame. add small pipes to the existing design (easy room for 2 that i could see) or get thicker ones than it currently has. there are sizes to those, like if thats an 8mm diameter, they could up it to 10 and very likely not change the frame at all. but with that design being 3 maybe 4 years old, i could easily see it getting a refresh end of this year or early next. i do really hope they add thickness so they could really go nuts with it, it doesnt need to be like a titan, just another 5mm or 1/4th inch (2 very different sizes i know) would be plenty. also i hope they round the edges to make it easier to hold. thing is uncomfortable to pass around and doesnt look great.
maybe i should just design my own laptop lol, make my own frame and cooling system then rip out the board and screen from something else.
If you make your own I'll review it 😎
@@JarrodsTech haha shipping alone would ruin me.
but, one of the reasons i got the 15x was to start working on 3D modeling, for when i get a 3D printer. gonna be an excessively fun toy
i have the 1070 version this helped
I was hoping the new generation of laptops would come with RTX and 9th generation CPUs but guess not.
Yeah probably still a few months off til the new Intel CPUs, my guess is Computex time, but I honestly have no idea.
Jarrod'sTech mm idk most of these laptops can't even handle an i7 they really need to work on thermals a bit more.
Yeah I hope the 9th gen CPUs aren't as bad.
Jarrod'sTech guys guys just like i said, liquid cooled laptops. Ehh? Ehh?
Bleach yeah but companies won't do that. It's too expensive. I think this is why but they could do It in s safe way.
if that was a replay of you playing at 8:00, i like you even more
Haha definitely not me, it's a replay I downloaded that a lot of other places use to benchmark, I figured it would be useful for comparing with other Dota 2 benchmarks online.
Man, those temps are disappointing 😓
😰
I think the i7 8750h can run stable even with more than -0.120v undervolting. My i7 8750h is stable in stress FPU test with -1.80v.
By the way, even with -0.180v, I still can't get six cores running at 3.9ghz full turbo speed.
It varies by CPU, there's no one global value, also lower isn't always better, if you go too low you can get to an instance where clock speed will drop. I usually go -0.15v, but I've had some laptops that would blue screen going beyond -0.09v.
Pls test bf5 on this with DLSS and newest drivers rtx on
Maybe
@@JarrodsTech Drivers just got released...enabling these
Yeah I heard, the thing is if it's driver based, the Gigabyte ones are always behind, so not sure how well supported the new ones will be.
ty
np
still better than my aero 14 with 1060 going to 98C lol
Oof, can't remember what I got off the top of my head, the 14 was pretty nice though, too bad it seems hard to buy.
@@JarrodsTech yeah been very satisfied with it and they are getting hard to come around only seeing ones with the 1050ti
Again this max-q rubbish, put a 2060 or a proper 2070.
To make it even hotter? 😛
2 heat pipes for an i9 and rtx 2070 .Weird flex but ok :3
😰
When test of ALIENWARE AREA-51M? :)
I was told Dell will have RTX laptops for me in late February, so waiting for that, not sure if this includes the 51m yet though.
I aint buying aero until they actually revise the design and cooling
The v8 has the same cooling and although mine does run hot when exporting videos with Adobe Premiere I still think it was one of the best options available for that task.
For productivity, its somewhat okey, but for gaming its a big no no.
my idle cpu temperature is averaging around 60 degrees for all cores........ i really can't find the reason why. seriously hating this laptop so far
That does seem quite high for idle, are you in a warm climate? That could contribute, or maybe you got unlucky and got a bad thermal paste job. If you check task manager, what is the CPU % in use? Are there any particular processes using resources when it should otherwise be idle?
@@JarrodsTech i'm in the UK, room temp around 20. i always look at the CPU % ever since i got this problem, it averages around 3-5% which i think is good. i have no idea why it is so hot.
Yeah that's odd, maybe the paste wasn't applied well if everything else looks fine. It's not that difficult to replace if you want to try, but realistically if it's not thermal throttling too much under load it's not that bad.
@@JarrodsTech Hey Jarrod, i kinda found out what the problem is. Its the keyboard rgb lighting that is messing around with my temperature. i reset my pc yesterday, in hoping of fixing it, but the problem is still there. I was monitoring my CPU temp when rgb lighting is off and on, and found out the temp was 50 degrees average and 65 degress average respectively. do you have any idea how i could fix this? gigabyte is taking so long to reply, so thats why i am here T_T
Only 2 heatpipes? Oooof
Yeah same cooling as the V8
That 2017 14nm i7 garbage is the main problem of all laptops of last 2 years...
Yeah the 8th gen CPUs in particular are the major cause of all heat issues recently, they just keep turning up the clock speed and power to improve performance which you can only take so far.
Please give it to me
I have 940mx 😢😢
It's not mine to give away I'm afraid
@@JarrodsTech 😭😭
You could go for something cheaper? Some GTX gaming laptops are really good deals rn.
@@hannibalnectar in my country they are very expensive
Lol the sticker gets bigger every year
I took mine off 😎
Again with them single channel ram.
I've been advised that it will also sell with dual channel configurations too.
Ai ?
Yeah the v9 Aero laptops have an "AI" feature, you send data to the cloud and it changes various settings to give better performance for what you're doing at the time.
to
lol that is going to look so weird to anyone but me 😂
First view
Woohoo!
Early 🤣
Woo!
