Good day to you all.
I am currently looking into buying a laptop sometime around April this year. I basically narrowed it down to two units.
1. MSI GE72MVR APACHE PRO-001
2. ASUS ROG STRIX GL702VS-DS74 17.3"
On paper, the ASUS looks more promising as it has 256GB more SSD Storage as well as G-sync. The pricing is close to each other (this is in the Philippines so pricing from your perspective may differ)
Seems like a no brainer until I looked at reviews. The ASUS laptop runs really hot. around 95C hot during games with demanding titles. I'm a bit worried that the laptop will throttle all the time or just die from too much heat. Some people claim to have tamed the heat by putting the fans at max RPM (I dont mind the noise) and undervolting the CPU though this only brings it down to about 85C
So my question is:
1. Do i get the MSI instead even though it has a 120Hz display and no G-sync?
2. Should i get the ASUS instead and just live with the undervolted CPU and 85C. Not sure if 85 is fine during heavy gaming sessions.
