Hi guys so I'm back with MSI's GL 62 M which was a budget gaming laptop that I
picked up for about 899 us so I had a really good price to it and in my review
if you've seen it you would have noticed that thermals just got way too hot I
mean it got up to 96 degrees with thermal throttling and it also ran into
some issues with performance because of this playing some titles like
battlefield 1 that it was would cause these huge frame dips and that was not
ideal at all terrible really so I blamed in my review the performance
of those coolers they put in here so the two fans I thought but probably just too
small and it could not expel that heat fast enough or get a good enough flow
going through it turns out I was wrong here it was in fact the thermal paste
that they used on this so they haven't used a high quality one no repai stood
it and I put some Arctic mx2 on here now I used the begi method which was
basically sticking a finger into a plastic bag and using that to spread a
very even even thin layer of thermal paste on both the the die for the CPU
and the GPU so re pasted both of them there and it's made a huge difference
now to thermals increase their performance as well and we'll take a
look at that so I'm going to retest one game here which was battlefield one the
one that really ran into the problems and see if that's now fixed we'll take a
look at the temperatures again compare them to the previous temperatures I was
getting in my review and also do further overclocking of that GPU so if you're
not familiar with the spec of this laptop here it has an i7 7700 HQ and
that's quite a typical one you will find in gaming laptops and the performance of
that CPU is quite good but of course it got up to 96 degrees 93 in my review
that was causing a lot of thermal throttling and it did end up causing
these framerate dips for example in battlefield we concede now it's just so
much smoother here and performance is really a lot better because it was
dipping down to about 20 frames per second and here you can see it is very
now keeping well above 100 there which is really good performance from the 1050
Ti now the current settings I'm running this game honor it is 1080p but on the
lowest settings that for me seem to be the fastest that I was going to get now
thermals that's what has really improved here maximum of honey wouldn't gonna
last too long of 80 degrees here you can see hang on that was the GPU 65 show you
that in a second so 80 degrees after 20 minutes of gaming this on the stock
thermal job that they did the thermal paste job they did there would have been
about 95 degrees 96 degrees so that's a huge improvement of approximately 15
degrees less to the maximum temperatures due to my repay steer that I did using
Arctic's MX - 2 thermal compound which you know isn't a top thermal compound
it's quite a cheap one two and then sixty five degrees maximum on the GPU so
because of those lower temperatures I also added a higher clock to my Nvidia
1050 Ti here our whopping 292 the core clock megahertz are just quite a lot
there and then one gigabyte to the RAM which is why I'm getting that improved
performance there and I did retest firestrike so I got a higher score
they're nearing up and edging towards the 8000 area which is where the Nvidia
1060 the max Q lies similar kind of scores there so that's not bad at all
considering so overall now was my thermal paste changed a lower
temperatures I'm actually enjoying this laptop because we're not getting those
spikes anymore it just goes to show you the Emma size factory they are putting
on way too much thermal paste and I do recommend that you redo it if you're
gonna be buying this laptop or even any other budget gaming a laptop that you
redo the thermal paste there thanks a lot for watching this video and I do
hope to see you back in the channel soon
