Best MSI Laptop

The best MSI laptops are more widely available than you might think. While most people associate Best MSI Laptop with producing some of the best gaming laptops on the market, the company has also produced some tough workstations and creation-class laptops.

The similarity of MSI's dragon shield logo to those of Lamborghini and Ferrari is most likely not coincidental.

MSI laptops are well-known for their high-performance components and powerful components. We anticipate that the level of power and performance in MSI laptops will only increase with the introduction of Intel's new 12th Generation Alder Lake CPUs.

Buying a laptop can quickly turn into a stressful experience. This task is complicated by MSI's frequently ambiguous naming practises.

With this in mind, we at Laptop Mag have compiled a list of our favourite MSI laptops to meet a variety of needs and budgets. This list of the best MSI laptops has something for everyone, from high-end ray-tracing powerhouses to business 2-in-1s.

What are the best MSI laptops right now?

MSI's specialty is gaming laptops, and the 17-inch MSI GE76 Raider is the company's most recent and best offering.

With incredible 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor power and game-changing Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU performance, it's a force to be reckoned with.

It smashed our benchmark tests and zoomed past premium gaming laptop norms after taking on our gauntlet of demanding titles.

With dual 2TB NVMe Gen 4 SSDs and super-fast screen refresh rates of up to 360Hz, you've got a system so powerful that you might need an open carry permit if you ever leave the house with it.

The GS66 Stealth is a stunning motorcycle, but beauty is often fleeting.

Fortunately, MSI outfitted this stylish gaming laptop with everything you'd need for a fun gaming session.

A 10th Generation Intel Core i7 CPU with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series GPU (up to an RTX 3080 Max-Q) is a tried and true combination for high performance.

It's a great all-arounder that can handle high-end gaming as well as CPU/GPU-intensive applications.

The Evo tag on the MSI Prestige 14 is comparable to an FDA badge of approval; it is reserved for laptops that have proven to meet the Intel Evo platform's standards.

It is a general indicator of quality in 11th Generation Intel notebooks. The battery life is impressive at 11 hours, and the processor is fantastic, with Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Razer Book 13 Core i7 Laptop Review: Like an XPS 13, But Faster

At first glance, one might assume that the Razer Book 13 is simply a Mercury White Blade Stealth rebranded for professionals and productivity. In reality, it's actually a brand new chassis and 16:10 form factor found nowhere else in the Blade series. Razer is rightfully dedicating a distinct new family of laptops for professionals separate from the Blade name so that the Blade series can continue focusing on gamers.

Of course, the Book 13 naturally inherits more than a few features from the Blade Stealth which we will go over in detail for this review. SKUs start with the Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 1200p matte display, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 256 GB PCIe storage for $1200 USD up to the Core i7-1165G7, 2400p glossy touchscreen, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD for $2000. Our unit is the middle option in the table below.

Competitors to the Book 13 include other 13-inch "prosumer" subnotebooks or office-centric laptops like the Dell XPS 13, HP Spectre 13, Huawei MateBook X Pro, Asus ZenBook S, Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13, or the Lenovo ThinkBook series.

Case

From a quality, texture, and rigidity perspective, the Book 13 is essentially identical to the Blade Stealth since they use the same metal materials. If you love the feel and design of the Blade, then the Book 13 isn't going to disappoint.

The biggest chassis difference between the Book 13 and Blade Stealth lies in the new hinges. Razer had to redesign them for the new display aspect ratio without increasing the thickness of the bottom bezel. The end result is similar to the ZenBook S where the hinges are tucked underneath the base and the base itself will lift slightly when opened. Hinge rigidity doesn't feel any better or worse than on the Blade Stealth, though we noticed slight creaking when adjusting the angles on our unit. The 140-degree maximum angle is a bit shallow as well for our tastes.

The Blade Stealth is already one of the smallest 13-inch laptops in the market and the Book 13 continues the trend by being even smaller without needing to reduce screen size. Dimensions are very close to the XPS 13 to be just a tad thicker (15.2 mm vs 14.8 mm) and heavier (1.3 kg vs. 1.4 kg).

Connectivity

Port options are better than most subnotebooks as the Book 13 integrates USB-C, Thunderbolt, full-size HDMI, 3.5 mm audio, MicroSD reader, and USB-A with no strings attached. Many competing subnotebooks lack one or more to push owners into using dongles or adapters. Even the Blade Stealth doesn't have HDMI or a MicroSD reader as Razer knows Book 13 owners are more likely to be transferring photos and videos from cameras.

Communication

The Intel AX201 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6 which is one of the requirements for being an Intel Evo laptop. We experienced no connectivity issues when paired to our Netgear RAX200 test router.

Maintenance

The bottom panel requires a T5 Torx wrench to remove. However, there isn't much to upgrade or service other than the battery and M.2 SSD.

Accessories and Warranty

The retail box includes a small velvet wipe and a Razer logo sticker in addition to the usual AC adapter and paperwork. The manufacturer promises full compatibility with the Razer Core eGPU docking station as well.

A one-year warranty comes standard compared to three years on more traditional business laptops.

Input Devices

Keyboard

The Book 13 keyboard is identical to the Blade Stealth in terms of overall size and key feedback. Even the per-key RGB Chroma backlight is present to make this the only productivity subnotebook we know of with such a feature. On one hand, this is excellent for existing Blade Stealth owners as typing on the Book 13 will feel natural and familiar. On the other hand, we're not fans of the shallow travel and weak key feedback. The HP Spectre, EliteBook, ThinkPad, and MateBook X Pro all have firmer keys that we prefer for long typing sessions.

Touchpad

The clickpad is the same as on the Blade Stealth meaning it inherits all the same pros and cons. In short, we like the spacious surface (~11.1 x 7 cm) for such a small form factor while the weak and spongy click feedback could use some work. More traditional business laptops like the ThinkPad T490 or HP EliteBook 735 G6 still integrate dedicated mouse buttons which we find to be easier and more accurate to use if an external mouse is not available.

Display

As we predicted, the Book 13 uses the same or very similar Sharp LQ134N1 IPS panel as found on the Dell XPS 13 9300/9310. In fact, both laptops share almost the same maximum brightness levels and even the same pulse-width modulation frequency when at low brightness settings. This isn't a bad thing, however, as this display is a highlight of the XPS 13 and now also the Book 13. Colors pop, text is crisp, and contrast is high for great first impressions.

The display is also a big reason why the Book 13 doesn't work so well as a gaming laptop. Black-white and gray-gray response times are slower than the display on the Blade Stealth despite the excellent attributes mentioned above. Thus, ghosting is more noticeable when gaming even if the Book 13 is more powerful on paper than some older Ice Lake or GeForce MX-powered Blade Stealth SKUs.

Color space covers almost all of sRGB and approximately 66 percent of AdobeRGB not unlike the Blade Stealth or most flagship Ultrabooks. Nonetheless, the MacBook Pro 13 is able to offer deeper colors covering 77 percent of AdobeRGB while certain larger 4K panels as found on the HP Spectre 15 or XPS 15 can cover all of AdobeRGB. It's worth noting that the 4K option on the Book 13 does not offer wider color coverage than the FHD option.

X-Rite colorimeter measurements show that the display is already well-calibrated out of the box as promised in the advertisements with average grayscale and color DeltaE values of just 1.3 and 1.39, respectively, and a perfect gamma of 2.2. Attempting to calibrate the panel ourselves would result in essentially no changes.

Outdoor visibility is a bit better than the Blade Stealth due to the brighter display on the Book 13. Nonetheless, this is negated somewhat by the glossy overlay of the touchscreen. The less expensive matte SKU may fare better in this regard.

Performance

The Book 13 comes with the Intel 11th gen Tiger Lake Core i7-1165G7 CPU or, for the first time ever on a Razer laptop, a lesser Core i5 option as well. The i7-1185G7 or Iris Xe Max, which would have made the laptop even faster, are not available.

RAM is soldered at up to 16 GB of LPDDR4X running at 4267 MHz. Both CPU-Z and HWiNFO report quad-channel memory while Razer's own specifications claim dual-channel only. We'll update this once we've double-checked with Razer.

We set our system to Performance mode via Razer Synapse prior to running any performance benchmarks below. We recommend becoming familiar with Synapse since key system settings can be found here.

Processor

Multi-thread performance is higher than the average Core i7-1165G7 in our database by about 20 percent to edge out even the Core i7-1185G7 in the MSI Prestige 14 Evo. The wide delta can be attributed to the decent Turbo Boost sustainability of the Book 13 as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop graph below. Interestingly, the recent Blade Stealth with the same Core i7-1165G7 CPU returns lower scores than our Book 13 by about 10 to 15 percent.

Opting for the less expensive Core i5-1135G7 SKU will entail a 15 to 25 percent performance deficit by our estimates. It's too bad that there are no AMD options as the Ryzen 5 4500U, Ryzen 7 4700U, or Ryzen 7 4800U could have been excellent alternatives without needing to sacrifice multi-thread performance.

See our dedicated page on the Core i7-1165G7 for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

System Performance

PCMark results are slightly higher than the average laptop with the same CPU to edge out the XPS 13 9310 by just a few percentage points. We didn't experience any issues on our test unit save for a Razer Synapse bug where the application would always freeze if disconnected from the Internet after a system boot.

Storage Devices

Most Razer laptops ship with Samsung SSDs while a select few SKUs ship with slower Lite-On SSDs instead. Our unit comes with the Samsung PM981a for much faster performance than the mid-range Intel 660p of similar capacity.

GPU Performance

3DMark results are higher than the average Iris Xe in our database at the moment by about 10 percent. Scores are even higher than the GeForce MX250 or MX350, but actual performance in most games will vary greatly as detailed here.

See our dedicated page on Iris Xe for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Emissions

System Noise

The system remains silent when browsing or video streaming with no noticeable pulsing behavior. At worse, fan noise would top out at just 29 dB(A) against a background of 27 dB(A) to be essentially inaudible in a typical office or conference room. We're able to record 33 dB(A) when running higher loads like Witcher 3.

If the fan is manually set to maximum via the Synapse software, then fan noise can jump as high as 45 dB(A) to be louder than most other subnotebooks with integrated GPUs. However, we never reached this maximum even whilst benchmarking unless if the fan was manually set this way meaning the internal fans will rarely reach their maximum RPMs when on the default automatic mode.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are slightly warmer than what we recorded on the Ice Lake Blade Stealth. When running high loads for extended periods, hot spots on the top and bottom can be as warm as 34 C to 38 C and 40 C to 43 C, respectively. Temperature gradient is otherwise symmetrical much like on the Blade Stealth. The warmth is noticeable but not distracting since the hot spots are toward the rear away from the palm rests and most of the keyboard keys.

Stress Test

When stressed with Prime95, the CPU would boost to 3.8 GHz for the first few seconds until hitting a core temperature of 79 C. Thereafter, clock rates would drop and stabilize at the 2.5 to 2.7 GHz range in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 60 C. In comparison, running this same test on the Core i7 XPS 13 9310 would cause clock rates to fall and cycle to as low as 1.9 GHz with even warmer core temperatures reaching 78 C. In other words, the Book 13 is able to run both faster than cooler than on the XPS 13 when the processor is stressed which backs up our CineBench R15 xT loop test results from above.

Core temperature appears to plateau at 60 C when running high loads similar to what we recorded on the recent Asus ZenBook UX425 equipped with the same CPU.

CPU performance drops slightly if running on battery power. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 10608 and 6973 points, respectively, compared to 12384 and 6812 points when on mains. Note that the Synapse "Performance" power profile becomes grayed out when not on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop consumes just 3 W on the minimum brightness level up to 7 W if brightness is set to maximum. The high performance-per-watt of Tiger Lake becomes obvious when comparing power consumption to the GeForce MX150-powered Blade Stealth. Gaming, for example, consumes about 37 W on the Book 13 compared to 64 W on the GeForce MX Blade Stealth even though the Book 13 offers both faster CPU and GPU performance.

We're able to measure a maximum consumption of 53.7 W from the small (~10.8 x 3.5 x 2.7 cm) 65 W AC adapter. This rate lasts for only 20 seconds when Turbo Boost clock rates are highest before they both eventually fall due to thermal soak. This can also be observed during our Prime95 stress test as noted above.

Battery Life

Though battery capacity is almost the same as on the Blade Stealth (55 Wh vs. 53 Wh), runtimes are much longer on the Book 13. We were able to squeeze almost 15 hours of WLAN use from a full charge to be a few hours more than what we recorded on both of the XPS 13 or Blade Stealth when under similar WLAN conditions.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 1.5 hours with the included AC adapter. We appreciate the fact that there are USB-C ports along both edges of the laptop meaning you can recharge from either side as opposed to most other Ultrabooks.

Verdict

Slap the 16:10 display from the Dell XPS 13 onto a Razer Blade Stealth and you'll essentially have the Book 13. The new Razer laptop incorporates the best of both worlds and with a stronger emphasis on performance and visual style than the Dell alternative. The fact that it uses the same Core i7-1165G7 processor as the XPS 13 and is able to run it 20 to 30 percent faster shows how well Razer has optimized the chassis for Intel's new 11th gen platform. It's slightly heavier and thicker than the Dell, but the extra horsepower, additional ports, and stronger design might be worth it to many users.

On the flip side, the Book 13 skips over a handful of common security features including support for a fingerprint reader and a Kensington lock. You're also not going to find any advanced vPro or handsfree sign-in options that are available on the Latitude 7400 or HP EliteBook x360 1030 G7. The RGB-lit keys, while visually appealing, have weaker feedback than the keys on most other business-class subnotebooks. Call us old school, but dedicated mouse buttons and wider hinge angles like on most Lenovo ThinkPads ultimately feel more ergonomic when on the road. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over such auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche.

Enermax Liqtech II 360 Review

With the ever increasing core count and TDP of mainstream processors these days, cooling has never been more important to your system. Although there are some seriously beefy air coolers on the market today, liquid cooling is still the best way to cool your system. That being said, even with most companies offering some kind of full loop kits, custom water cooling can still be intimidating to many enthusiasts. So, for a lot of people, an AIO, or all in one cooler is the way to go. Enermax is perhaps one of the best-known names is in computer hardware. Having been in business since the early 1990s, they make everything from computer cases and fans to power supplies and peripherals. However, one of the things Enermax is best known for is coolers, and AIO coolers to be specific. Enermax has always held a special place in my heart. The first published review I ever wrote was of the Lepa Exllusion 240. Overall, I’ve had rather good luck with their products in general. So, when they asked if we’d take a look at their new Liqtech II 360, we couldn’t say no. The Enermax Liqtech II 360 is a 360 mm AIO cooler with an insane 500 watt TDP. The Liqtech II is compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Its EF1 pump is said to be seven times more powerful than the average AIO and move up to 450 liters per hour. Now, that’s all well and good, if it lives up to its expectations. Many times, in the past I’ve tested AIO coolers that just couldn’t handle a high core count processor. So, we put the Liqtech II through its paces on the Intel Core i7 8700k. So, did it live up to its claims? Let’s find out.

The Front of the packaging has an image of the block and pump combo, with the RGB lighting illuminated in the foreground. In the background, there is an image of the 360 mm radiator with the three 120mm fans installed. Printed on the bottom right corner is the Liqtech II 360 branding, Below that are badges for the several different RGB software that the Liqtech II supports.

The back of the box has a lot of information on the Liqtech II. Across the top, they touch on some of the key features of the Liqtech II 360. Enermax also has a complete list of features listed to the left. Next, there is a diagram of the length, width, and height of both the pump and radiator. There is also a chart with the specifications of the Liqtech II to the far right.

The Enermax Liqtech II comes packed is a formed cardboard tray. The cooler and fans are wrapped in plastic. The radiator has a protective sleeve over it to provide extra protection. Although I do prefer this style of packaging over traditional styrofoam, I’d rather it be backed in soft foam. But that isn’t really that big of a deal. A Closer Look at the Liqtech II 360

    The Enermax Liqtech II 360 looks much like any other 360 mm all-in-one, or AIO cooler. However, Enermax is advertising a monster 500 watt TDP for the Liqtech II 360. It supports both Intel and AMD modern sockets, with the exception of AMD's TR4 socket. Enermax makes a specific model for the TR4 socket.

The radiator for the cooler measured 394 mm long x 120 mm wide x 28 mm in thickness. The Liqtech II 360 supports three 120 mm fans. It comes packed with three static pressure fans. The fans measure 120 x 120 x 25 mm. The fans have a high-pressure blade design that increases cooling performance. The fans come equipped with anti-vibration rubber pads in the corners to prevent noise and ensure noiseless operation. The block and pump combo measure 71 mm in length, 71 mm in width and 60 mm in height. The actual cold plate is 56 mm in both length and width and 3 mm thick, at its thickest point. The cold plate on the Enermax Liqtech II uses their patented shunt-channel-technology (SCT). The shunt-channel-technology is designed to boost thermal conductivity and eliminates heat surge by increasing coolant flow. The SCT allows heated and non-heated coolant to swap channels and increase utilization rates. The Liqtech II features a powerful EF1 pump design with flow rates up to 450 liters per hour. The EF1 pump, on average, moves seven times more fluid than the average AIO pump. The average AIO cooler moves about 65 liters per hour. The EF1 pump delivers a very high flow rate, designed to increase cooling performance.

The Enermax Liqtech II uses flexible, 400 mm polyamide rubber tubing. The rubber tubing has a layer of flexible polyamide weaved through the tubing. A polyamide is a synthetic polymer, the most common of which is nylon. The polyamide layer ensures the tubing is impermeable. The tubing is covered by nylon sleeving. This makes the cooler more aesthetically pleasing. Installation of the Enermax Liqtech II 360 was rather straight forward. The Liqtech II 360 comes with a universal backplate. One side is for modern Intel sockets and the other for modern AMD sockets. First, push the pins through the proper holes for your socket. In the case of this review, it was the LGA 1151 socket. Next step, you use the plastic washers to hold the backplate to the motherboard. The Liqtech II 360 comes with nuts with springs attached. This is what is used to affix the block to the motherboard. A Philips head screwdriver is then used to tighten them down. The Liqtech II features an Aurabelt waterblock with addressable RGB lighting. The lighting can be controlled by your motherboard and is supported by all major RGB software from the board partners. This includes RGB Fusion, Mystic Light and Aura Sync. However, Enermax also includes an in-line RGB controller as-well. This is useful if you have an older motherboard, without RGB headers. There is a 4-pin connection on the same side of the pump that the PWM connector come out of. This 4-pin connector connects the RGB lighting on the pump to either an RGB header on your motherboard or to the in-line RGB controller that comes packed with the Enermax Liqtech II 360. One of my favorite accessories that come packed with the Enermax Liqtech II 360 is the 3-way PWM fan splitter. This allows you to only use one fan header on your motherboard for the 3 fans packed with the Liqtech II 360   Test System, Testing Procedure and Performance.

The I7 8700k has a base clock of 3.7 GHz. However, from stock, it usually boosts to about 4.3 GHz. I increased the overclock to 4.5 GHz and left the voltage at stock. This seemed to be a reasonable overclock, that just about anyone should be able to achieve with an 8700k. In the past, I've gotten this 8700k to 4.8ghz, but not much higher. I tried to set the CPU to 4.8 GHz, and the system crashed instantly. At 4.7 GHz, the system ran. It was fine on light tasks. However, when I attempted to run the Aida64 FPU stability test, the processor hit 100°c in a matter of seconds and the system crashed.  I do my best to keep the ambient temperature around 20°c, or 68°f. Once the ambient temperature hits 21°c (about 70°f), I stop to allow the room to cool down a bit. There are no less than 30 minutes between each benchmark, and or program. This allows the processor to cool down and it gives more fair and balanced results. Although there are several different options to use while testing a CPU cooler, we use the AIDA64 Stress Test to put a load on the CPU. The AIDA 64 Stress Test is a 64-bit, multithreaded stress test. We use both the CPU stress test, as well as the FPU stress test. The FPU tests put far more of a strain on your processor. Therefore, the FPU test produces more heat than the CPU test. You could have a rock solid overclock that passes the CPU stress test but fails miserably on the FPU test. The chart below reflects the package temperature.

  While running the AIDA64 CPU Stress Test, the temperatures were not that bad. Both the CPU test was run until the temperature for about 15 minutes in total. This is the target time for each of the tests to be deemed successful in my eyes. The AIDA64 CPU stress test hit a max temp of 58°c. During the CPU stress test, we recorded no throttling. As stated before, the AIDA64 FPU Stress Test put a far greater strain on your processor. Therefore, there wasn’t too much of a surprise to see the CPU throttle a bit. By the AIDA FPU stress test, the 8700k throttled about 3%. This test also ran for about 15 minutes. In that time, it hit a max temperature of 87°c. This isn’t by any means the lowest temperature but considering the load, the FPU stress test puts on your processor, its not terrible either. Our 8700k passed the Aida64 CPU stress test with no problems. The FPU test was a bit different. Although the system didn't crash, our 8700k did throttle a bit. It may have made it to 15 minutes. However, due to the 8700k throttling, we have to consider the FPU test a failure. The cooler that is usually on my test bench is the Swiftech H320 X2 Prestige, slightly modified of course. The H320 X2 Prestige edition comes with Swiftech compression fittings and 5/8 flexible tubing. However, Like with most AIO coolers, the tubing isn't long enough to install the H320 x2 on the Praxis Wet Bench. So, I replaced the tubing. I also replaced the Apogee block that comes stock with an Ek Supremacy EVO. So keep that in mind. The last thing is the H320 X2 is using Mayhems X1 Clear coolant. So, it does have several unfair advantages.

    That being said, the differences were vast. During the Aida64 CPU stability test, our 8700k running at 4.5 GHz, hit a max temp of 53°c. This was 5°c than the Liqtech II 360 hit. The FPU stability test had an even larger difference. The 8700k hit a max temp of 74°c during the Aida64 FPU stability test. This is a full 13°c lower than the Liqtech II was able to achieve. Again, keep in mind there were some modifications made to the H320 X2. While gaming, both the noise levels and temperatures weren’t bad. When the temperature would get too high, the fans would ramp up to lower the temp. While playing Far Cry 5, the average temperature would hover around 65°c and max out at about 74°c. For comparison, the cooler on my test bench is usually the Swiftech H320 X2 prestige. Its also been modified with an Ek Supremacy Evo in place of the original Apogee block it came with. While playing Far Cry 5 for about the same time, 30 minutes or so, the 8700k hit a max temperature of 68°c and averaged around 60°c We also tested noise levels of the cooler using an Android app called Sound Meter. I know its not the best way to measure sound, but it’s the highest rated sound meter app on the app store and can at least give an idea of the noise levels. We recorded the noise levels with both the pump and fan speeds at 50% as well as 100%. At 50%, the system overall had an average decibel level of 37.7 dB and a max level of 42.6 dB. At 100%, it was loud, at times, and distracting. But the fans do not run 100% all the time. But when the temp rises, the fans will ramp up to 100% and that’s when the system gets loud. At 100%, the system ran at an average of 74.5 dB with a max of 83.4 dB. Now, keep in mind that this is on an open test bench and will not reflect noise levels in a closed system. Especially a case with sound dampening material. Not to mention, we don’t know how accurate the app we use is. We mention what app we used so users can compare their results to ours.

As we mentioned earlier, all testing was done with the pump and fan speeds at 100%. The stock setting was the fan and pump speed set to 50% speed. It was whisper quiet. However, it affected temperatures. The chart below represents initial temperatures taken about 20 minutes or so after the system was initially booted, first thing in the morning, on separate days. At 50% speed for both pump and fans, the max temp hit 53°c and the minimum was 43°c. The average was about 44°c at idle. When we tried to run the AIDA64 FPU stress test, after about 6 or 7 minutes, the temp hit 100°c. That is the reason all testing was done at 100% fan and pump speed. At 100%, the max temp hit only 45°c, 8° cooler than at 50%. The minimum temperature hit only 31°c and averaged about 34°c at idle. That gave us, at average, a difference of about 10°c between 50% and 100% pump and fans speed.

Final Thoughts and Conclusion   I’ll start by saying that first and foremost, I prefer custom water cooling. So, my opinion is a bit bias. There are many AIO coolers in the market. Most of which perform similarly. For the most part, aesthetics will hold a large part in the decision making process. Personally, I love how the Liqtech II looks. I've said on several occasions that I am not a fan of RGB lighting. Although, it has started to grow on me when it is done right. I feel Enermax did the RGB lighting very well on the Liqtech II 360. I like the Aurabelt waterblock. The RGB lighting is subtle, and not overdone. That being said, I do think the Liqtech II could have benefited from using some kind of RGB fans on the Liqtech II. I know I just said I don't care for RGB lighting. However, when the pump has RGB lighting, most would assume the fans would as well. Given the static pressure fans packed with the Liqtech II did a relatively good job, even if they did get a bit loud at times.

The performance overall was pretty good with the Liqtech II 360. At times, the temps did seem a bit high. However, increasing the pump and fans speed rectified that. That being said, the system did get a bit loud when the fan speeds were increased. I will say again and can’t stress enough that I was using an open-air test bench. So, in a closed system, the Liqtech II 360 will be quieter. The temperature on the AIDA64 CPU stress test of 58°c wasn't bad at all. Although the FPU stress test in AIDA64 did result in the 8700k throttling, it was after more than 10 minutes and the FPU stress test was able to get through the 15 minutes we were aiming for. While gaming the temperatures were about average for an AIO cooler. The results were nothing spectacular, but they weren't causing performance issues and CPU throttling by any means. Enermax is advertising the Liqtech II 360 to have a TPD of 500 watts. But, it had trouble with the 8700k, with a slight overclock. The 8700k is a 95-watt processor. So I'm not sure how well it would do on a processor with say a 140 watt TDP. In conclusion The Enermax Liqtech II 360 is a decent cooler. However, if you’re an enthusiast and love to overclock, then this cooler isn’t for you. Nor was it meant for you either. The Enermax Liqtech II is a great option for the average gamer or consumer that wants something more than air cooling. Many 360 MM AIO coolers from other companies are upwards of $200 USD with the average price seeming to be about $180 USD. At the time of this review, The Enermax Liqtech II 360 is on Amazon for $159.99 USD. However, I have seen it as low as $139.99 in recent weeks on other online retailers. If you buy the Liqtech II 360 with intentions of pushing your processor as far as possible, you may be disappointed. However, if your intent to set up your system simply to play games, browse the web and other things the average consumer does with their PC, the Enermax Liqtech II 360 is a solid option. Especially when you compare the price to other 360 mm AIO coolers on the market. Read the full article

MSI takes the Intel Evo route with the new Prestige 14 Evo

Intel launched the Tiger Lake and the associated Evo platform yesterday, and we've seen a slew of new laptop announcements featuring the 11th generation Intel processor including MSI's own Stealth, Prestige, Summit and Modern series. Apart from the traditional Prestige 14 offering, MSI is also introducing a Prestige 14 Evo edition that adheres to the standards laid out by the new edition of Project Athena.

The Prestige 14 Evo is in many ways similar to the regular Prestige 14. You get CPU options that include the Core i5-1135G7, Core i7-1165G7, and the Core i7-1185G7 all of which feature the new Intel Gen12 Xe LP graphics. Dimensions, port selection, RAM, connectivity, and even the presence of an NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD are common with the non-Evo version.

The Evo platform mandates are certain minimum spec for the battery life and this is where the Prestige 14 Evo differs from the regular Prestige 14. Both models carry the same 3-cell 52 Wh battery with fast charging support. However, the Prestige 14 Evo uses a 60 Hz 100% sRGB panel that draws just 1 W of power, which makes it highly power-efficient and as a result, can afford longer run times.

And true to the Evo ethos, the Prestige 14 Evo does not feature the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU and relies solely on the Iris Xe iGPU. Iris Xe should offer a decent boost in graphics performance for creative applications compared to the previous Iris Plus variants. Since there is no discrete NVIDIA graphics on board, the Prestige 14 Evo offers just 65 W charging via USB-C. MSI says that a 15-minute charge should offer up to 1.5 hours of usage on battery and an overall 12 hours of battery life.

Pricing and availability info are yet to be announced.

MSI Prestige 14 Evo Review: Portability, But at What Cost?

MSI Prestige 14 Evo Review: Portability, But at What Cost?

Intel launched the new Evo brand along with its 11th Gen laptop processors in late 2020, and laptops that have earned this label are now appearing in the Indian market. If you see this sticker on a laptop, it means that the manufacturer has worked with Intel to improve its designs and reduce weight, while maintaining certain standards with regard to performance, battery life, and other…
