HTWingNut's Sager NP6110 / Clevo W110ER First Look & Review

[_meh]

For the individuals looking for a BF3 benchmark of these systems check here:

[hellojello]

The real solution is always Moar Holez™ and Moar Coppah™.

(Different machine, of course. And damn. That timestamp made me realize how long I've hung onto this MSI.)

O.o

those are a lot of holes and copper

Hehehe not always . Problems with more coppahh:

1-For example, put a heasink over a gpu capacitor, one that doesn't need to be under a cool-down thermal system but has to be stable* then put a heatpipe o a heatisink connected to a heavy thermal system and put them closely (touch both heatsinks). You will end up blowing up the capacitor . The heavy thermal system will try to find a thermal balance with the now included capacitor system. Be very carefull with these mods.

2- Copper is also a high electricity conductor, if you misplace it you will short something.

3- If you close the air flux, you will only make things worse.

But yeah it helps alot.

buying a notebook cooler for a 11' seem counterintuitive ~~

I'm hoping to find a small one that just fits the machine and works well in my lap as I'm going to be using this rather often without a flat surface to place it upon.

When it gets here I'm going to go by Fry's and Microcenter with it and see what fits the best.

_meh: Yes, it is true that this lappy will run this BF3 okey but on that video we cant know etc: how many players and explosions there with good 30-40fps were was over there until the map was one of the biggest Caspian

But more important thing for me is how warm was the keyboard under left hand which was under playing BF3 about 30-60min non-stop because same things on LG P330 was toooo hot after 30min and im not lying :/ External BT keyboard have to bought... and that was sad like to buy cooler for this 11.6" laptop, waat??? O_o

I don't mind having a notebook cooler, when using the laptop stationary for excessive gaming.
I'm more interested in if its possible to turn it down that way, that its possible to use it on the go without the feeling you're working on a molotow cocktail :P

I'm not sure, but the p330 doesn't exactly look like what i would classify as "gaming laptop". Looks quite thin to me, and i'm pretty sure that this sacrifices some heat dissipation capabilities and therefore OCing the thing wouldn't be really recommended. Am I wrong?

I think I've settled on this machine, but I'm waiting for HT's full review before I decide. Thank you HT for doing all this, you are a great asset to the community! +Rep.

It is the same class as the M11x, M14X and this W110ER. On January there were like no other same powerfull gaming laptop to this class...yes ALW but this was thinner and powerfuller than M11x and thinner only like M14X--> about same performance.
Now there are not as performace laptop on this class than this W110ER. And... you are wrong Btw, always you people want to OC a little a bit this W110ER what is close to the other.... gtx 56/70m...

I generally just put them over the heatpipes, so I increase total surface area. I also stick them with some really nice Sekisui tape which hasn't shown any signs of coming loose yet.

And it's arguable about the air flow, since you're increasing total cooling surface area, but that's why I always do Moar Holez™.
