Thank you for the video.... I thought it was just me but I have the same laptop and I am having a ton of issues. I am about to insist on a refund or full replacement. Like you mine arrived with one of the Keys not working, the "L" key. Also even after fully charging, shutting down, with in 4-5 days the battery was drained completely. I called Gigabyte and shipped it back to them at my expense. It took 3 weeks, they replace the keyboard and battery. When I got the unit back I decided to make this laptop my primary work and gaming machine. I have the i7-12700H, The RTX 3070 Ti (MaxQ), Upgraded to 32GB of Viper gaming RAM, I am using the primary 1TB NVME for the OS, and I upgraded the 2nd 1TB with a 4TB for more storage (Games, pictures, documents, ect). Now for all the other issues.... Gigabyte support is a joke, I tried to install some of my AE and Steam games. Dragon Age Origins, Awakening, Inquisition, Halo, Halo Infinite, ect. I have a 6 fan laptop cooling plate under it and it still gets stupid hot. The CPU during game play runs at 70c-86c and the GPU stays between 60c-76c. These are older games that should not be a problem for this laptop. The External USB-C ports are not properly labeled in the manual and support does not have a clue. They had no idea that the left side USB-C 3.1 port was also the dedicated Nvidia external monitor port. The rear right Thunderbolt 4 port was the dedicated Intel Iris Graphics port. I have an Alienware 34 inch Ultra wide at 3440 x 1440 @ 165Hz OLED gaming monitor hooked up. Even though the RTX 3070 Ti has 8GB of dedicated memory you can't turn gaming textures up to high even on older games. If you try the games will crash. This is a graphics card memory issue. I turned it down to Medium and the games run, 30-40 minutes into play I start getting ripping and taring on the screen. This is from games ranging from 2009, 2015, and 2021.... I expected a lot better from a new laptop running $1,465.00.

Quality issues are definitely on Gigabyte. But Nvidia is also to blame here as even though it says 3070ti on the box, OEMs get to decide the wattage supplied to the GPU which has huge performance implications.

Those temps are well within specs for a laptop mate, any intel cpu will try to get as close as 100 degrees as possible to give you the best performances, and if your gpu runs in the 60s on the same cooling unit which transfers heat from one component to the other, you're definitely not having trouble. All is well within specs.

@@rekt4guud134 It's been a little while since I posted this. What I found since then has changed some of my thoughts on this. First, I agree with the GPUs. I have had no issues with the Intel graphics as the ability of the system to determine if I was gaming or not was so bad I run the Nvidia graphics all the time when plugged in. I only use the Intel graphics if I'm taking the laptop out using the battery. I found the temperature issues have absolutely nothing to do with the GPU, but are entirely the problem of the CPU. Surfing the web, using Excel, Word, ect. isn't a problem. During games I use a 3rd party program to disable the CPU Turbo, this drops the temps by 10-15 degrees. With all this said the two large issue with this laptop are the USB-C ports and their compatibility with external thunderbolt and USB-C external docks/ hub adapters. I have tried Dell, Acer, Anker, and Verbatim docks/hub adapters. Gigabyte doesn't make their own other than the small adapter provided with the laptop and it's seriously limited. The other is the battery or the power system. The power brick is large if you have to travel with this laptop. Easy solution, buy a 100 watt USB-C charger. It's small and easy to carry. If the laptop gets cold or the battery drops below 50% the unit will not power on its own and the USB-C charger will not work. I ended up spending $100 on another large charger.

@@Woody21369 What i meant was that ur cpu is meant to operate as close as possible to 100 degrees, it's how they're tuned. But also that because the CPU and the GPU share the same cooler, and your GPU isn't throttling or overheating, it means ur cooler is doing it's job perfectly, if not the heat from ur CPU would cause ur GPU to also reach it's limit. there's no real benefit to lowering temps and disabling the turbo, it locks ur cores 1.2ghz lower than they should be (3.5ghz instead of 4.7). As for the rest, i don't have much grounds to speak on other than gigabyte has always been known for cheaping out where it shouldn't in order to drive down cost and sale price.
