pechedesktop class GTX 1080, 64GB DDR4, overclockeable... well seems aggressive for laptops, would like to see moar about its cooling...

P4-630I'm no longer interested in "gaming" laptops, they are just too expensive for what you get IMO...
You might be able to build a 1080ti desktop system for such money...

I sold my gaming laptop a month ago or so.

pecheim glad you just sold your gaming unit, i hope you get a better vaporizer instead! a mech one! lolz:clap::laugh:

P4-630Check my system specs or in my sig:)
I bought a 14" laptop.

P4-630No wonder there aren't prices mentioned....:p

Vayra86LOL 8700k in a laptop. This thing might even throttle to the moon! Such a tremendous waste of silicon... just grab an 8600k, 1070 vanilla and keep it cooler so it clocks higher and actually survives 2-3 years. And even that is pushing it IMO.

Manu_PTI would say a GTX 1060 even. A 8600k with more than 4,2ghz (depending on silicon lottery) will still throttle. But like I said these models make no sense, after i7 8700HQ and i5 8300hq are released.

arbby1212what a pointless cpu 8700hq, and 8300hq are. complete rip off with terrible silicon quality. I will take a 8700k and throttle anyday over those HQ processors. besides, I have had Eurocom's laptop since their haswell 4790k CPU, 5775C, 6700k and 7700k, all run fine and overclock just fine without throttle. simple delid on the later generation CPU and undervolt and problem solved.

sounds to me you are quite bad in computer and overclocking a laptop hmmm?

Manu_PTYeahm can we stop talking about quad cores now? I guess you´re the one clueless about hardware overall. We talking about 6 core chips that get toasty, way more than Skylake and Kabylake. You have no idea about how hot a 8700k gets, delid won´t save it on a laptop. Check notebookcheck forums and go figure.

Sure, you are smart, you prefer to grab a 4kg laptop that is as large as the year 2003 units and let it throttle for days while reaching constant 80º-90º, instead of waiting for a proper 45w chip that will do almost the same clocks you can do without throttling on the 8700k and with 2,2kg.

arbby1212i heard they upgrade the heatsink for the new laptop that can use 8700k, i dont see any problem ! your laptop sense is off, get that checked up

Vayra86Welcome to TPU, I see you have a lot to learn, please allow yourself to get educated. Everybody wins

Meanwhile, lets do a simple google search to see how prevalent throttling is in laptops shall we?
www.google.nl/search?q=throttling+laptops&oq=throttling+laptops&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.3727j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Enjoy, and take special note of the WIDE range of CPUs that suffer from this and the date/year all of these entries come from, all of them with (much) lower TDPs than the 8700k and a vast majority of them not in ultrabooks, but normal/average sized laptops just like the one in this topic. It'll develop some laptop sense in a good way :)

arbby1212what a pointless search for throttling :)

majority of population who owns laptop dont overclock let alone understand overclock and what needs to be done to not throttle. you simply searched those majority of posts and further proved yourself wrong. take in more results of silly users and you'll become silly too ;)

Vayra86Wow. Something got lost in translation, I do hope? Is English your first language?

If not, please re-read carefully what I said. Throttling has zero relation to overclocking per se, it can occur on any CPU in any build, depending on how well it can cool. The search would show you exactly that: a wide range of CPUs, both overclockable and regular, all suffering from throttling in a wide range of laptops from budget to high end, and ALL of them have lower TDP CPUs inside than the 8700k or even the 8600k.

The only laptops that avoid this are the super bulky ones - and this originPC is not that.

arbby1212surprisingly I just came across this the other day,
forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-overclockers-lounge.788975/page-1483#post-10655453

it's alright to admit when you're wrong Vayra86, don't need to feed yourself with stupid consumers and their lies and stupidity. these computer are very capable and amazing!

annnnd just for laughs, bga joke books performance in a 9000$ laptop.

1080 sli getting outdone by 1070 sli overclocked

arbby1212majority of population who owns laptop dont overclock let alone understand overclock and what needs to be done to not throttle.

Vayra86We were talking about CPUs and you barge in with overclocked Clevo's? You're not making sense. The model in the article we are discussing is NOT a Clevo barebone. An 8700k is also NOT an SLI GPU in a heavily modded chassis, might even be open chassis for all we know.

Running a bench/stress test of five minutes and prolonged usage of a laptop in a NORMAL environment are two wildly different use cases. You literally pointed that out yourself in your previous post. Fact remains; if you don't heavily mod the OriginPC of this article, it will throttle like no tomorrow, and its limited cooling heavily limits any OC, if you can achieve it at all.

Get your argumentation checked out, I'd say. When you've learned to compare apples to apples, we can continue this discussion. Until then please don't bother.

lexluthermiesterAnyone who is going to buy one of the notebooks in the article above is going to know about those kinds of things, or will want to learn. Your points are pointless and you seem to be arguing for the sake of creating drama. Do be quiet unless you have something constructive and/or interesting that actually adds to the conversation.

arbby1212LMFAOOOOO LOLLLLL typical losers and form of argument "people wont bother learning it" LOLOL first you argued about performance, then once proven LGA in a laptop overclocked is totally fine, then you proceed to bring up anything else that will help you with your argument after you have lost the first one and the very point you're trying to make.
mentioning a bunch of less relevant facts doesnt make it more factual :) originally by vayra86 was 8700k was pointless in a laptop, but proven better performance, cooling than soldered CPUs, then onto less important things. let me TELL you what your next argument will be, pricing, thickness, portability. HAHAHHAHAHAH people like you are so easy to predict.
