Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound on CPU and GPU

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to both the processor and graphics chip during assembly to lower operating temperatures under sustained load. The upgrade targets reduced thermal throttling during intensive CPU and GPU tasks while keeping fan noise in check. Stress testing and burn-in validation are performed before shipment to confirm thermal behaviour meets specification.

Authorised BTO build with full quality control

As an authorised MSI build-to-order dealer, HIDevolution performs a complete quality-control pass including BIOS and driver updates, keyboard and touchpad verification, port functionality checks, and display inspection for abnormalities. The chassis measures 15.91 x 12.09 x 1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs. Buyers who need a lighter chassis or smaller screen for frequent travel should consider alternative form factors.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch Mini LED panel fit in a standard 15 inch laptop backpack?

The chassis measures 15.91 by 12.09 by 1.26 inches and weighs 7.94 lbs, so a bag sized for 15 inch devices will be too small; choose an 18 inch or larger compartment.

Does the 64 GB DDR5 5600 MHz kit run at its rated speed or drop to a lower frequency?

The memory operates at 5600 MHz subject to system capability; the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX supports this speed in dual channel with the installed 2 x 32 GB modules.

Can the 4 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage be expanded later without removing the factory drives?

The laptop ships with 2 x 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs occupying two slots; any further expansion depends on whether additional M.2 slots are available on the motherboard.
