Hi all.

I would please you to tell me which of these three i7 CPU's is better for gaming and less throttles : the i7-6700HQ ,the i7-7700HQ or the i7-8750H?

Please tell me.

Thanks to all in advance.
 
Hi it depends also what gpu has on,memory,but between last two preffer to pick 7700hq and 8750h
 
If given the choice I'd get the 8750H, as it's a hexa-core and features a higher max boost frequency (4.1 vs 3.8). I'm not sure what the boost table looks like but the extra cores would definitely make a difference especially in newer games.
 
Throttling depends on Ambient temp and how great or crappy the laptop cooling is along with how great or crappy the power brick is.
 
How long is a piece of string?

Going off the CPUs listed, I'm going to assumed you're looking at laptops, so much of the throttle question relies on the design of the laptop. Is the CPU paired with a powerful GPU? Is the cooling shared between CPU and GPU? How many fin stacks and heat pipes? Is it single or twin fan? Is there adequate vents? What form factor is the laptop? Is the laptop marketed as thin and portable or is it targeted at gamers?

Your best bet is to try and find a thorough review of the laptop you're considering.

Is it thrue that the i7-8750H throttles more?

See my message above, laptops today are built like crap compared to 2004.

If you are serious about gaming build a itx system
 
Why u started 2 threads for same think identically? :D
 
TBH all of my recent threads I created are to help me in the decision of buying of a gaming laptop.

I am in a big doubt between buying of these two gaming laptops:

and

HP OMEN 17.3", i7-8750H, 16GB/256GB SSD 1TB HDD 7200 rpm, GTX1070 8 GB GDDR5

and

ASUS GL703GS-E5011 - Intel Core i7-8750H (2.2 GHz, 9M Cache, up to 4.1 GHz), 16GB DDR4 (1 mem.slot free), 256GB PCIE G3X4 SSD + 1TB 5400 rpm SSHD (8 GB cache size).

So I would finally please all of you to help me in the decision.

I don't know which one is better,has better cooling,less known issues etc.

Please help me,I would be very grateful!
 
Asus my opinion is suitable more for gaming,better cooling,nice aesthetic.

IS a Rog,Get it!
 
Why not this? Or this?
If only those 2 then I would get the asus but look at the 2 I linked.
 
I've heard that the Asus overheats and throttles ,and the HP has better cooling but bad fans setup.
 
I have an Acer Helios 300 and an older asus rog laptop. With unrestricted air flow they are fine for cooling. Meaning raise the the laptop up a little and you will be fine. I use 1/2" high by 2" long blocks of wood to raise mine up.
 
I have closed all of your threads bar this one, because they all pertain to the exact same thing. Please make a single thread about a gaming laptop and ask your advice there (or here). If you open another thread relating to a gaming laptop, you will receive formal warnings.
 
From what I' gathering between all your posts you have a laptop with a i7 6700hq and a gtx 1070m am I right? If thats your setup then don't bother upgrading to a new 6 core i7 or rtx 2060... Get a ssd or whatever

Thank you for replying!
No I don't have a laptop at the moment.

I would like to buy a new one and in a doubt between these two:

HP OMEN 17.3", i7-8750H, 16GB/256GB SSD 1TB HDD, GTX1070 8 GB GDDR5

and

ASUS GL703GS-E5011 - Intel Core i7-8750H (2.2 GHz, 9M Cache, up to 4.1 GHz), 16GB DDR4 (1 mem.slot free), 256GB PCIE G3X4 SSD + 1TB 5400 rpm SSHD(8 GB cache)

Edit: I liked to know if it is thrue that the i7-8750H throttles more than the i7-6700HQ and 7700HQ,that's why I asked about the CPUs.

From my quick search both look solid, however the asus only has 1 stick of 16gb ram while the omen runs 16gb in dual channel. So I vote in the Omen.

Throttling is a fallacy. If you are mainly gaming you dont need to worry with throttling with those low clocked cpu's.

That Depends on so many things
From GPU used to Ambient Temptures

You could have rolled them all into one Thread and because you did not you got this below

I think I can change the single 16 GB RAM stick ,for 2x8 GB to activate the dual-channel mode on the Asus.

Yes sure you can but it might not be worth the hassle
 
Lithium-Polymer batteries suck though...

However you're probably not gaming on battery power with such a laptop.

i have a g7 dell with an 8750h installed. it did thermal throttle a little at high loads, but there are a ton of videos on youtube on using throttlestop and undervolting it., that has stopped all thermal throttling on my cpu...its a beast of a cpu, just have to either have well over engineered cooling or undervolt it a bit and you are golden
