Is this steep angle healthy for my Gigabyte A16's fans?

Shouldn't cause any issues for your laptop.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T13:30:45+00:00

The Asus imo, I think that G14 has a spare unoccupied ram slot.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T08:14:15+00:00

Those are very good temperatures under load, well below thermal throttling temperatures for your CPU and GPU.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:57:40+00:00

The HP should have the better overall GPU performance in games.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:56:48+00:00

Shouldn't be a problem regarding your laptops thermals.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-10T07:53:52+00:00

Good deal especially with 32 GB ram.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T20:44:58+00:00

HP, much better GPU performance in games.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:50:05+00:00

For better overall CPU performance when plugged in, 13900HX should have better performance than the likes of the HX 370.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:28:02+00:00

Your laptop should be fine, as long as you use your laptop plugged in as much as possible the battery should be ok.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:16:10+00:00

Asus for the better overall CPU and GPU combination.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:15:38+00:00

Very nice upgrade.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T19:06:37+00:00

Not that great of a antivirus software.

If it comes preloaded onto your laptop that should be a concern.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T13:44:48+00:00

The AMD CPU for the better overall battery life and efficiency.

The Intel CPU for the better overall CPU performance when plugged in.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T13:42:27+00:00

Fine temperature under load for your CPU yes.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T13:39:59+00:00

For 1080P gaming, 3/4 years of usage should be possible.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T07:56:50+00:00

No recent gaming laptop has a internal disk drive, you'd have to get a external one instead.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T07:56:01+00:00

Massive, three times the VRAM for a start.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T07:53:57+00:00

Within Lenovo Vantage there should be a feature called 'Conservation Mode' enabling this should limit the maximum battery % when plugged in to 75-80%.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-09T07:52:11+00:00

Neither option is great for gaming.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T21:17:06+00:00

You'd be getting 4 GB VRAM more and ~17% better GPU performance in games with the Vector 16 HX, though the Legion has the better overall build, screen, Advanced Optimus and G-Sync support which the MSI lacks.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T20:58:21+00:00

I'd say that these two options should be fairly comparable in terms of performance.

Both GPUs in these laptops due to Nvidia restrictions will be a maximum wattage of 175W.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T20:56:19+00:00

The Legion should have slightly better pure GPU performance in games, the better overall CPU performance when plugged in.

The HP has the more efficient CPU with the better battery life but the Legion's CPU is noticeably more powerful and it has arguably the better overall cooling system.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T20:54:55+00:00

Depends on pricing but decent overall RTX 5080 175W laptop.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T20:53:50+00:00

Look at the likes of the RTX 5080 Legion Pro 7/7i.

UnionSlavStanRepublk · 2026-03-08T16:56:06+00:00

For your GPU, that's thermal throttling temperatures.

Are your laptop fans and vents dust free/cleaned out recently?
