Notebook MSI GT780R exists to serve the needs of notebook users who require performance and high specs to run heavy applications. MSI GT780R is included in the category of gaming notebooks that can run many 3D games and reviews below can hopefully help you to find out more details.

Screen and Design

MSI GT780R screen that is given by the 17-inch glossy screen type and resolution can reach 1920 x 1080 Full HD you can set complete with adapter and weighs 3.8Kg.

Completeness of Features

Features presented in this gaming notebook is high enough so that berbaga can run 3D games smoothly.

Features are presented fairly complete with a port 3.0 (2 pieces) 2.0 ports (two pieces) on the left. USB 2.0 ports (two pieces). So the total USB ports available 5 pieces and also HDMI, D-SUB and Ethernet side of the back.

Very good bass sound quality by using sub-woofer is located on the left and right parts of the keyboard. When listening to music and play movies, sound quality is also very good.

When playing a 3D game continually for hours and you do not worry this notebook will overheat because the cooling system using heat sink hear cheek and placed on two pieces of memory DDR3 SODIMM and the end of the casing.

System Performance

GT780R performance capable of producing high performance, although results were not as the average of notebooks that use Intel Core i7 processor 2630M, although has been supported in RAID-0 hard disk.

Transcoding process can be accelerated again by applications that support Intel Quicksyc, if using the default standard are also quite fast and tablet or smartphones in the prosess transcoding can you wait.

Final Conclusion

Notebook MSI GT780R can be your choice of attractive features which provide such a high performance, large screen and high specification.

• Extreme Overclocking results from Corsair blog

This post is about the results of some extreme overclocking tests done by Jake Crimmins (from the Corsair blog) and was posted on Nov 09 2011. I wanted you to take a look at it if you are interested. There were both successful results and failures. Here are the results as presented by them at the Corsair blog:-


Overclocking on liquid nitrogen and pushing hardware into the danger zone can be very frustrating but can also be rewarding. We recently released an overclocking video that showed you how I prepare my motherboards to run on liquid nitrogen. I recently took the same setup from the video but with a different CPU, and tried to set the 3DMark03 world record with it.


After a weekend of testing I was able to secure third place in the benchmark with a score of 229,115 3DMarks. I knew I could push the CPU higher, so I made up my mind to try and take the world record poisition. After several more days of testing I was able to get the CPU clocked to 6.68GHz and get a run of 231,239 3DMarks. This was good enough for second place, and only a few thousand points behind first place.


I knew that I could easily get first place if I could just get a few more runs in with slightly higher CPU speed. Unfortunately, like I said earlier, pushing hardware to its absolute limits can be frustrating. After a five hour overclocking session, countless blue screens and crashes, the CPU finally had enough and no longer wanted to run 3DMark03. I tested the CPU one more time but it lost two of the memory channels so I was only able to run in single channel. I decided to run 3DMark05 this time, so I changed out the graphics cards to four 5870s. Again the CPU ran at 6.68GHz and I was able to get a result of 59,626 3DMarks. This was good enough for 6th place on HWBot.org.


Unfortunately I was unable to break the world record in 3DMark03, but with extreme overclocking that is the way it goes sometimes. I was still able to take a solid 2nd place, beating the previous 2nd place score by 2000 points. More details on the scores can be seen on HWBot.org 3DMark03 and 3DMark05.
