Comfort point 4 is still performance. First of all, CPU. This product is for notebook PCs and uses the quad-core Intel Core i7-7820HK. The Core i7-7820HK is the same TDP45W as the Core i7-7700HQ for the same mobile, but with a higher clock. It is rated at 2.9GHz and driven at 3.9GHz when boosted.
The CPU is Intel Core i7-7820HK, which has a higher clock than other quad-core CPUs for mobile.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X (mobile version) is adopted as GPU. It is the top GPU among NVIDIA's consumer mobile GPUs. Its performance is said to be close to the desktop version GeForce GTX 1080, and it has high gaming performance.

The storage will be a hybrid configuration of SSD and HDD. The SSD side is equipped with two 128GB PCI Express 3.0 x4 connection NVMe compatible M.2 SSDs in a RAID 0 (striping) configuration, and the HDD side is a combination of 1TB 2.5 inch Serial ATA 3.0 connection model.
Main storage uses 128GB M.2 NVMe SSD RAID 0 configuration HDD adopts 1TB model that can store enough game data C drive CrystalDiskMark score D drive CrystalDiskMark scoreThe memory is DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM, 8GB x 2 with a total of 16GB. Since there are four slots themselves, it can be expanded up to 64GB using, for example, a 16GB SO-DIMM. However, since expansion is supported only by designated retailers, individual expansion is not supported.
MSI's "Cooler Boost Titan" is used for the technology to cool high-spec parts as described above. A total of 10 heat pipes, which are familiar not only for notebook PCs but also for video cards, are used, and they are cooled by two fans on the left and right.
The OC function is the comfort point 5. When I think of OC, I think of a desktop CPU, but the fact that the "K" is added to the end of the Core i7-7820HK mentioned above means that, like the CPU for desktop PCs, the operating magnification of the CPU is not fixed. Performance tuning is possible with this product using the dedicated utility "Dragon Center". In rated operation, the maximum clock of the CPU is 3.8GHz, but in Turbo mode of OC operation, it is raised to 4.2GHz. In this case, it can be said that it is almost the same level as the CPU for desktop PCs.
With the "Dragon Center" system tuner, you can adjust the operating clock with "Shift" and the fan speed with "fan speed". In Shift, Turbo shows OC state, and in fan speed, it becomes fully open when Cooler Boost is set.
