just another day in south africa watching videos of pcs i will never own in my entire life...even if i live twice my life...but its nice knowing these computers exist🙃
I can feel your pain bro😢 Dnt worry at some point you and me and all others like us will get one of these. That day our happiness will be unmeasurable💙
@@StonkSlayd sorry, I didn't buy it. My comment is making fun of the fact that it costs so much for a "premium" feeling. Laptops shouldn't have to cost half of that to feel nice!
I fixed my overheating issues with a new thermal paste. I used arctic mx-4 and now the cpu runs about 70 degrees and the fan rpm went from the max which is 5300 rpm to 4000 rpm. Huge difference. The original paste was bad, it was quite dry.
@@ghostsoldier5223 yes, 4060 g5. I also limit the frames to 60 fps from the nvidia control panel. Now it plays games at 60fps and even more silently. But the thermal paste made a huge difference.
@@ghostsoldier5223 yeah, it is high because the original paste is already dry. Don't over tighten the screws back on the back plastic cover. Also on the pcu/gpu don't tighten them much. Feel when it's done, don't screw them like crazy, it will strip the screws and the nuts. If you check the benchmarks and the temperatures, you will notice that the cpu is getting very hot compared with the GPU. The new paste will help. Use quality paste, I used mx-4 and I am very happy. I spread it all. Over the cpu and gpu and then added a small amount in the middle again, to push the air out on installation. There are plenty of videos out there with examples and results.
I got the G7 the other day, willingly voided the warranty, changed the thermal paste almost out of the box, and now the temps never go over 80 degrees (usually around 70), and both fans are usually around 50-60 percent. Sure, it's a bit noisy, but works flawlessly,.
I've had problems with high thermals in a previous gaming laptop. I upgraded the RAM as is was covered under warranty, as you mentioned. After waiting for the 2 year warranty to end i replaced both GPU & CPU Thermal paste and the temps both dropped dramatically. My question is; Does replacing the thermal paste void the warranty? I understand upgrading the Storage and RAM is under Warranty, but what about the seemingly problematic thermal paste? I Guess So??
it depends on where you live, some places consider changing thermal paste and cleaning/upgrading just general maintenance and does not void warranty, some places might not see it that way and consider just opening it up voiding warranty.
to those who are here in the future, the newer versions (2024 and up) come with better i7 13th and 14th gen processors and both m.2's are gen4. All while staying very close to the same price point (where I am located at least)
Found a pretty good offer at around 800 euros for the rtx 4050 with i7 gen 13 with 1 TB of SSD and 16 GB of DDR5 compared to other gaming laptops this was the cheapest for it's specs!
@@SuperGamingForFree I also owning gigabyte g5 mf. How the result after upgrading the thermal paste? is it shows significant result? and how about ur experience on windows 11? i'm really having a hard time with it. my games keeps chrashing during session even though i've purchased antivirus, updating my windows and my gpu driver, the problem still appearing. or is it because of ram since its still 8gb of ram.
@heroicdesire4398 anti-virus is really a scam. If you know what your doing. And I'm not sure yet still being processed by xoticpc. But 8gb really does hard limit the laptop. Definitely upgrade to 16gb of ram. And make sure your laptop is elevated at a angle for better airflow
@@SuperGamingForFree i always use my laptop with stands. So i think the problem doesn't come from limited intake for air flow. And yes, I'm also considering to purchase 8gb ram to make it run on dual channel beside that windows 11 really ram hungry. Anyways, when ur pc have done changing thermal paste, can u tell me the difference?
Is it really loud in demanding games? Also have you had any experience with the msi cyborg 15. It's meant to be quieter due to its lower wattage 4060 and it's a bit cheaper. Thanks
Am I the only one disabling the CPU turbo mode from bios and forgetting it ever existed? It's basically always active during a gaming session, and temps get really high, disabling it give 10-15°C less degreea with a minor impact on performance that is often nullified because the turbo will end up activating thermal thrpttle
Thanks for this review Marcus.Just looking at this in Scan(based in NW so nice to buy from bricks and morter) now at £900 but wanted to now the expandability ie 2nd ssd spot and 2 unsoldered ram spots.Great to see as I believe the MSI equivelant at the same price only has one ssd and the 4060 is slightly underpowered. Having the power at the back is nice as well as I've got used to that with my Acer Nitro and wouldnt want to give that up.
My experience is that the video's boy is just a FanBoy; I'm Engineer and with the correct drivers, correct overclocking, change some parts as the SSD for a WD Black with heatsink (Yes heatsink and My laptop is a G6 come with Ram in 4800 Mhz) and I been install some software that usually use in my laptop G6 run in 120~180 FPS with overclock and temperature of 60~75 Celsius. In default performance by Gigabyte Control Center the FPS is the same that @PCCentric show
Don't get this. I got itand the power cord will over heat and disconnect, so I can only get about 1 hours at max gaming. Sometimes much less. It's a known issue that gigabyte seems to have failed to address. I contacted Gigabyte, they sent me a link to update the BIOS and the link was for the wrong update. So if found the correct bios update. I updated to FB03 and now the GPU is neutered to draw only 65 watts instead of the 75 originally. I'm losing about 15-20 FPS now.
I watched a video where the guy said there's another bios update which fixes this, he said he had to contact Gigabyte to get it. I think it was FB09 he said?
@@rickylahey9248 the update will cause the graphics card to run at a lower wattage. The issue is the Power supply is only 150 watts. The gpu is 75 and the cpu is 65. If the game is a heavy cpu utilizer then it will take power away from the gpu. The other issue is the CPU overheating. in which causes the same thing. So the update will neuter the laptop. This laptop needs better cooling and a better power supply
@@OG_BeeRad ah ok, well I got one on order anyways... I'm going to repaste it and limit all my games to 60fps since that's no issue for me, I guess if I have problems I'll get a better power supply
@@rickylahey9248 I bought a different ac adapter from Amazon and then I bought a IETS GT500 cooling pad. To play, I set the pc fan on max, put the cooling pad on max and put a fan under the brick of the AC adapter. That seems to work. In the end I'm sure Julian and Bubbles can help you. J-Rock might know someone in the computer business ; )
Got this two months ago. Switched the original shit thermal paste with liquid metal.. CPU rarely goes above 80 degrees running heavy games on maxed out settings!! I look forward to the eventual possibility of undervolting the CPU.
Hey i have the problem of really bad temps on cpu , on like demanding games, on this laptop, so should i repaste it , and does it need to be with liquid metal
How much does the power limit of this laptop affects its performance, How does it compare to laptops with maximum power limit? And can I increase the power limit? Thank you
Thanks for showing us this laptop. "1200 pounds for an entry level gaming laptop is cheap" shows the degree how monopol Intel+Nvidia's "money" made the laptop space. They can do whatever they want and people will clap for it. Just like many reviewers clapped for the 4060 release under the marketing name of 4070 for the price of a 80 class GPU. We customers has to pay high price, as AMD abandoned the laptop business in practice. Bad value compared to last years 3070 laptops, DLLS3 , frame gen is not available in 99.999% of games. 4 core i5 with low TDP GPU and both thermal throttles, better not customize that cooling that much to silent as you gonna cook the case... I find this high refresh obsession a joke on laptops, which cannot even hit 60 without tricks on native resolution. Especially as like 0.1% of gamers actually play on the level of a shooter game like CSGO, where you gain advantage with it. The trying very hard to be funny/ blabbering doesn't translate well for me, I would prefer a more data focused approach, with on screen overlays presenting the important data about specs, thermals, fps etc.
there are reviewers that do that, this is just the style of this reviewer and to say that only 0.1% of gamers play games like CSGO just goes to show how little you know about the gamer space
Recently I was searching for gaming laptops cuz my current normal one doesn't really run those games I play and after hard thinking of an Asus Tuf, I found this one and because of it's current price on a site (999€) I tought I can buy it cuz it won't cost my whole payment of this month. I have to say thank you for this review, because it really made my decision, maybe in the future I might buy a better, but for now, maybe a couple years, this will work, especially because the problems of it won't really bother me.
Do you still have that laptop? If so, how does it hold up to games or have you had any problems with it? I'm thinking about buying the same one as in the video
@@pessoaaleatoria4415 yes, I still have it, it can pretty well run recent games too, probably the only problem would be that it may be loud while cooling itself and after a little time, you should mute your microphone if you use it without a headphone, trust me, you don't wanna hear that shit when the microphone and the speaker makes the sound loop, or how should I call it. And if you think of playing recent games, you should get at least a 1, but maybe 2-4tb SSD, and look around for a good laptop cooler, you don't wanna feel the heat of 70-90°
@@tharunmuddapu After having it a couple weeks, I have had no problems with it. I upgraded the M2 to 2 terrabyte, which was very easy to do. I do some 1440p gaming for which I use a 32" monitor. When I game I have the laptop on a $12.00 laptop cooler since the laptop can run hot. I think that it is currently the best deal in laptops, but there are a few others that come close.
saw this for £850 now with 16 gigs and a 13th gen i5, and it looks like a good deal but then saw an Asus Tuf for about £870, but has a mux switch, looks to be a full powered 115watt 4060 instead of the 75 watt in this one. and better overall build quality. saw the 4060 in this runs slower than some 4050 laptops.

Got it for $720 this cyber monday with a promo code. Is it a great deal? Took ram from my older laptop and its now 24GB with 1TB SSD upgrade on top of 512GB it comes with.
I mainly would like to use this for ci6 age of wonders and trials if cold steel type of games? Mostly rpgs and stuff. Do you think it would hold well on games like those
I just ordered a g5 kf with i7 12650h, 16 ram, rtx 4060, and i have this doubt..., i saw some reviews telling that you cant plug an external monitor via HDMI and have above 60 fps in games, This laptop uses the integrated graphics when you plug an external monitor?, if so how can i use the dedicated one to have the best perfomance while having an external monitor plugged to it?
no this laptop is like shit, it will make you a new oppotunity to build an another lap after few months with hardcore game the heat is just too high it will be better to choose nitro 5 bc it has has a better cooler system
Any comment on the 165W power consumption from the wall from the 150w power charger? I've seen one reviewer point out the 165w consumption on full power
@@himawari3688 i’ve try some Gigabyte laptops, specially some KF models and they are HORRIBLE, they feel like the plastic of a Chinese toy and they hit 100°C easily, the Aero models are good tho
And i personally have tried the TUF and it’s good, maybe the “gamerish” aesthetics are not your thing but they feel good in general, Nowadays my laptop is a Strix G16 2023
Why is it that the older generations of this model had the beeping issue which people said they had with the cooling. Hope this one doesn't have it T_T
So I found this exact laptop for $879 usd but it only has 8gb of ram is that still a reasonable price per performance it’s been like 6-7 years since I’ve messed around in pc gaming and back then 8gb of ddr3 u could game on now I see people say you need more which yeah is only like $60-$80 my other option for a gaming laptop was one with a RTX 3060 6gb gpu ram and then 16gb system ram for 749 in ur opinion which one would be better I want to be able to play scum, squad, Icarus and similar games to those but to me if I have to play it medium settings doesn’t bother me heck even some settings set to low wouldn’t bug me
I have just bought the Gigabyte G5 KF laptop in Spain (16Gb RAM). Paid 910 euros with an extra 1T SSD. This is my initial impression of it: • The keyboard is fairly compact and keys such the shift key is way too small and too close to the up arrow. Making it kind of hard to use it easily. I guess it is only a question of some time to get used to it though. • The mouse pad is not in the middle at the bottom of the keyboard. It is shifted to the left (I assume this is because the NumPad is not “part” of the keyboard according to Gibagyte). This is all good, but your left hand is not resting properly on the keyboard and this makes it uncomfortable to write for longer periods. • The speakers….god….the speakers. I have never listened to speakers of such low quality. They could have just not included them. I am serious. The quality is so bad that listening to anything makes me wonder what they were thinking when they agreed on using such speakers and I immediately switch to my earphones. You cant really do that when you want other people to listen to your music or video, can you? • The SSD. Gosh..a gaming laptop with 512Gb? I immediately bought a 1T SSD in order to have more storage. It is not a terrible laptop, but I am returning it. There is no way I would keep it.
Nothing. When I flew home, I picked up my ASUS TUF that I bought in 2020. I will probably buy a new ASUS TUF (or Strix) with an RTX 4060 or 4070 when I find a good deal in a few months.@@topjii
Temps are very bad Gpu has the lowest tgp with only 75 watts, For more 200$ you may get the MSI katana 15 with 4070 105 watts or the Asus Tuf with 4070 140 watts which has much better thermals and performance 👍🏻
Not a real review tbh, just a fast unbox , tryout. He took down the fanspeeds by custom setup and let the laptop thermal throttle all the way so he doesn't have to listen to he noise :D And all this not even at hot summer room temps. But yeah shows that even low TDP hardware in a small plastic case can cook anything.
4060? Technically, can run Runescape 3 on this laptop. However, can't imagine it reaching more than 10 fps, but putting a few slices of bread with cheese and closing it down while running Runescape 3 would make it a great toaster. Guess RTX stands for Real Toasty Xperience in this case.
Its a great laptot i must say, just have in mind you HAVE TO buy a cooling pad or chill mat , and lets be realistic most of us use headphones so the noise wont be a problem, also dont even think to bring the laptop on your bed or something similar because it will ¡boil!, enjoy!

I mainly would like to use this for ci6 age of wonders and trials if cold steel type of games? Mostly rpgs and stuff. Do you think it would hold well on games like those
thanks!
I just ordered a g5 kf with i7 12650h, 16 ram, rtx 4060, and i have this doubt..., i saw some reviews telling that you cant plug an external monitor via HDMI and have above 60 fps in games,
This laptop uses the integrated graphics when you plug an external monitor?, if so how can i use the dedicated one to have the best perfomance while having an external monitor plugged to it?
i’m buying this laptop next week, i wanna know does it worth for gaming? like fortnite in good settings? what abt the temps?
Definitely, unless your playing multiple high powered games. Even then just upgrade it
Guys do you think its worth the additional $240 to get this 4060 laptop over an older 3060 Acer Nitro 5 with i5-11400H?
no this laptop is like shit, it will make you a new oppotunity to build an another lap after few months with hardcore game the heat is just too high it will be better to choose nitro 5 bc it has has a better cooler system
Any comment on the 165W power consumption from the wall from the 150w power charger?
I've seen one reviewer point out the 165w consumption on full power
This is luxury
I just got this PC, what is that control center that he is using for the speed of fans and all, I'm using right now Control center 3.0.
if i have 900 euros what do you recomend to buy in black friday?
what did u buy?
An msi cyborg 15 with intel i7 12650h 1tb ssd 16gb ram ddr5 and an rtx 4060
I hope my comment will help you, i bought it in amazon, 950 euros
@@AlexelproLunita is it good? doesn’t have bad temps?
can u make a video about rtx 3060 ti vs 4060. and 3070 and 3080 to see which have best fps.
Just do the research and compare the data
4060 wins against 3060, against 3070 RAW the 3070 wins, but with dlss the 4060 is more comparable to the 3080 in frame terms
Gonna do best buy trade in with my m1 MacBook Air and use the Black Friday deals to essentially buy this for like $200
Are loading times really any different between gen 3, 4 and 5?
Who's thinner, the 2022 or 2023 model?
hi there we’re is the display connected too? i mean what port is the Gpu connected too?
Aight I'll buy this then
i hope ur editor got a paycut after this
1199 pounds is a lot
i wonder which is the best Gigabyte G5 KF or the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 Ryzen 7 RTX 4060 same price not sure which one the buy.... cheers good review
The asus, gigabyte is trash
@@m0r4agim deciding which one to buy too, why do you think its bad
@@himawari3688 i’ve try some Gigabyte laptops, specially some KF models and they are HORRIBLE, they feel like the plastic of a Chinese toy and they hit 100°C easily, the Aero models are good tho
And i personally have tried the TUF and it’s good, maybe the “gamerish” aesthetics are not your thing but they feel good in general, Nowadays my laptop is a Strix G16 2023
@@m0r4agcan you please me a Gaming laptop I'm buying now
Will repasting with a better quality thermal paste improve thermals?
In this case, probably playing in the north pole is the only possibility
Is it good for editing? Like devinci resolved
Why is it that the older generations of this model had the beeping issue which people said they had with the cooling. Hope this one doesn't have it T_T
Guys i need an advice i'm willing to buy this laptop this summer should i go for it or look for a better option ?
wonder if things often fall out of his hands
You're the best, man. 👍
4060 katana gets 65 fps on cyberpunk with everything up dlss set to quality and pathtracing and raytracing on. about the same price
So I found this exact laptop for $879 usd but it only has 8gb of ram is that still a reasonable price per performance it’s been like 6-7 years since I’ve messed around in pc gaming and back then 8gb of ddr3 u could game on now I see people say you need more which yeah is only like $60-$80 my other option for a gaming laptop was one with a RTX 3060 6gb gpu ram and then 16gb system ram for 749 in ur opinion which one would be better I want to be able to play scum, squad, Icarus and similar games to those but to me if I have to play it medium settings doesn’t bother me heck even some settings set to low wouldn’t bug me
I have just bought the Gigabyte G5 KF laptop in Spain (16Gb RAM). Paid 910 euros with an extra 1T SSD.
This is my initial impression of it:
• The keyboard is fairly compact and keys such the shift key is way too small and too close to the up arrow. Making it kind of hard to use it easily. I guess it is only a question of some time to get used to it though.
• The mouse pad is not in the middle at the bottom of the keyboard. It is shifted to the left (I assume this is because the NumPad is not “part” of the keyboard according to Gibagyte). This is all good, but your left hand is not resting properly on the keyboard and this makes it uncomfortable to write for longer periods.
• The speakers….god….the speakers. I have never listened to speakers of such low quality. They could have just not included them. I am serious. The quality is so bad that listening to anything makes me wonder what they were thinking when they agreed on using such speakers and I immediately switch to my earphones. You cant really do that when you want other people to listen to your music or video, can you?
• The SSD. Gosh..a gaming laptop with 512Gb? I immediately bought a 1T SSD in order to have more storage.
It is not a terrible laptop, but I am returning it. There is no way I would keep it.
What did you buy then?
Nothing. When I flew home, I picked up my ASUS TUF that I bought in 2020. I will probably buy a new ASUS TUF (or Strix) with an RTX 4060 or 4070 when I find a good deal in a few months.@@topjii
I think that the Rj45 port is poorly placed and it should have been placed either in the back or on the right.
Is it a buy?
I have been trying to find the perfect wntry level gaming laptop or pc and i think i found it :)
Should i get a 3070ti or a 4060 laptop. Thanks. Mostly doing 1440p gaming.
Probably the 4060 because dlss
Is it durable?
What's the name of the software for the custom fan curve?
Dream Machines best laptop!))
Can be charged on the usb-c port ?
where can I download this app, which is on the screen at 4:11?
Is the g6 with 13th gen Intel better then the g5?
Temps are very bad
Gpu has the lowest tgp with only 75 watts,
For more 200$ you may get the MSI katana 15 with 4070 105 watts or the Asus Tuf with 4070 140 watts which has much better thermals and performance 👍🏻
No, the lowest tgp for 4050 4060 is 45 Watt
Not a real review tbh, just a fast unbox , tryout. He took down the fanspeeds by custom setup and let the laptop thermal throttle all the way so he doesn't have to listen to he noise :D
And all this not even at hot summer room temps.
But yeah shows that even low TDP hardware in a small plastic case can cook anything.
the video you used a TI or non TI?|
The links and description is non TI laptop!
4060? Technically, can run Runescape 3 on this laptop. However, can't imagine it reaching more than 10 fps, but putting a few slices of bread with cheese and closing it down while running Runescape 3 would make it a great toaster. Guess RTX stands for Real Toasty Xperience in this case.
Especially if you're facing zammy boss max settings 😅 those fps drops
HAHA HA HAHA HA HA HA 😐
does windows come with it?
I feel kinda robbed, that I could’ve gotten a 4060 laptop, for the same price as my 4050 😢
But can it run Jedi Survivor at 480p?
Bro when you have 11700 subs i was the other one i subscribed you its was a long time i subbed your channel and it's worth it 😅 i like your channel 😀
Do anyone know if Optimus can be disabled or enable on this laptop? I am looking to connect this to an external monitor. Thanks pls
Theres a G5 with a 12th gen i7 tho
The 4000 series laptops all have stutter issues skip this gen or buy last gen
Its a great laptot i must say, just have in mind you HAVE TO buy a cooling pad or chill mat , and lets be realistic most of us use headphones so the noise wont be a problem, also dont even think to bring the laptop on your bed or something similar because it will ¡boil!, enjoy!
Desktop cpus have a hard time with normal air low profile air coolers in small form factor itx cases…i aint surprised a laptop one is even worse.
im on some a cheap ah asus laptop with core i5 and intergrated graphics , i just like watching things that i will never own tbh
Is this the laptop with the i5 12500H
Can it run minecraft?
it does have the mux switch??
Bri $1479 im getting on for $840 one on amazon

Can I play star field on this laptop
