The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23°C – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.
Load measurements were acquired by playing Tomb Raider for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. All fan settings were left on automatic.
The monster cooling system does a competent job of keeping the high end hardware reasonably cool.
We took some thermal readings from the top of the laptop. The massive vents on each side of the chassis expel a lot of hot air from the graphics cards. We measured close to 50°C on the left side and close to 45°C on the right side. The panel above the keyboard peaks at around 34°C.
The good news is that the mechanical keyboard is always cool – close to room temperature. All of the hot running hardware is at the top of the laptop close to the screen. The underside of the laptop can get warm under extended use, but you are unlikely to be using this on your lap at all – let's be honest!
Don’t buy MSI until they have fixed the issues with the GT72 and GT80: Read more: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/gt72-gt72s-and-gt80-gt80s-owners-gpu-upgrade-discussion.795236/ and here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18746748
That’s really pathetic!
What is pathetic?
What MSI has done and then the way they’ve responded.
Yep. My GT72 is not upgradable like MSI advertised.
You have the GTX 880M? Has anyone attempted at placing eurocom’s MXM maxwells in there?

Seems like the GT83VR is a step down from even the GT73VR lol. Raid 0 instead of Super Raid 4. No 120 Htz display, no 4K or turbo mode.
Not even G-Sync from my understanding according to MSI support. So what exactly are you paying extra for here?
Doesn’t seem like you’re getting much of anything here. Other than the two GTX 1080. Not worth as i think might just go back to Asus. Wait for their new GX800 to come out.
