Heavy Gaming Machine

It is well packaged by MSI, a very elegant laptop. At first I was a little frustrated by what appeared to be small pieces of debris getting between the screen and the case. I used the screen cleaner along with the microfiber cloth that came with the laptop to remove most of it and the problem was resolved. As far as performance goes, I spent the initial time updating the graphics driver, which was easy, and found that most of the drivers were up to date, which was good. I used 3DMARK to test the CPU and GPU. I got the following for CPUMax threads: 371716 threads, 36658 threads, 32884 threads, 23682 threads, 14191 threads, 727. As for the GPU, I got 6287 spy times, which is higher than many gaming laptops. about how high the CPU temperature got during the test. Passed 90 degrees Celsius for most of the test while the GPU warmed up to 75 degrees Celsius. I might have to check if it's the thermal paste they used, but I'm not sure I want to play around with it. So the big battery you'd expect from a gaming PC takes a lot of pressure, the fans do their job but you can hear them and they get hot. The screen performance is amazing and the games on it are amazing. I used it to play the New World Beta on day one and it looked and played amazing. and I recommend headphones or earplugs while gaming as the fan runs at maximum (pressing FN and F8 (fan button) can be very loud! Bring it to extreme power on the MSI Dragon Center which you have already pressed before So you end up needing to use a power bank as the battery will drain fairly quickly when not plugged into the mains, so if someone gets frustrated with something like this they will get annoyed with this power bank.
