For starters, this took roughly 2 weeks to arrive after I ordered it. It was either that or the GT600. The GT600 would have an extended time to arrive due to it being shipped from out of the country (Canada). So I went ahead and ordered this. My laptop is a heavily modified MSi Katana B12VG (Windows 11 Pro, an additional 1TB SSD which is the WD Black SN770 that only has games on it, and 64GB of RAM instead of the stock 16. The reason for 64GB, is because this laptop replaced an 2019 ROG Strix, and it's because of Diablo IV, which I'm able to run with maxed out settings along with raytracing. Laptop has an i7-12650H and a 4070, which does not use GeForce Experience. All the changes to programs and games are made through nVidia Control Panel). I'm also not using the laptop's keyboard and trackpad, instead I use a SteelSeries Apex 7, an Aerox 5 (a standard and the Diablo IV edition, with the Standard Edition used just in case) and an Aerox 9). I also have power profiles since the 12th Gen H series processors cant be undervolted, and those are Extreme (the same as Gaming Mode, with every setting maxed out), Balanced, 99% (disables Turbo Mode), 75%, 50%, 25% and 10% (each cuts the processor speed, with it set to spin the fans up before throttling the processor). With the fans set at 300 (don't know if that's RPM or not), running a Performance Analysis with the power profile set at 25%, for 8 hours playing old Opie and Anthony episodes, and the screen off, the fans never spun up once (normally I'd have the CPU fan on around 2500RPM at about 55-60 degrees Celsius). Normally you'd be looking at the processor fan spinning up and remaining on. But nope. Never came on once. Temps stayed between 35-40 degrees Celsius on the processor and 34-40 degrees on the GPU). Now for Diablo IV, which this is benchmarked against. Slightly increasing the fan speed to 600, the game's temperature dropped 20-30 degrees Celsius (runs about 75-90 degrees on the CPU and 60-80 on the GPU), even after fighting the Herald of Malphas about 27 times (had someone keep activating it), and this is with every conceivable item on the ground. Temps stayed around the 60-70 degree Celsius mark. If I increased the fan speed, it does become more noisy, but I'm using noise cancelling headphones (Sony WH-1000XM4's repurposed for my laptop), so I don't hear the fan for this while playing games. I could probably increase the fan to 700-1000, but once it hits 1000, it starts to sound like a jet engine on an airplane about to take off, and starts to get loud. Speaking of that, I put the thing at 2800, and past 1000, you can feel the air coming out from the laptops vents in the back. You can also slightly feel the air coming from it on the side (if your laptop has a side vent or vents) That's how powerful this thing is. Because of this, I would recommend that the 300 setting be used for general work, and nothing about 1000 for games, unless you live alone. You can comfortably run Diablo IV on a setting (for my rig) at 600-1000 without you standing next to an airplane on a tarmac and that won't bother anyone. The one reason I listed noise level at 5/5, is because at the 300 mark (default), it does not bother you or anyone else. It's only after 1000 that you may get people bothering you that it's too loud. On mine however, there is a bit of a whine that you can hear on the lower settings, but as you ramp the fan to a higher setting, this is less audible, and I've tuned it out. You definitely cannot hear this if you are wearing headphones. Due to that, I will not dock points off. If you decide to get this, you will need to use noise cancelling headphones when you game (it's fine if set at 300, anything higher than 600, you'll need them). All in all, for a mid range laptop like mine, well worth the money I paid for it.
