THANK YOU!
Thanks awesome video! I fear tinkering and taking things apart but a new ssd is a must!
Dont be afraid. It is really not that hard.
@@MakaiTechReviews yep new ram and SSD hooked up 👍
I'm trying to decide between the Titan and Raider as a desktop replacement... Will 2x48g at 5600mhz work in the Raider, or does the mhz and voltage need to be adjusted in the bios??? Thanks in advance for any info from anyone... 🙂
In summary, the differences between the Titan ( th-cam.com/video/77qHW85cOus/w-d-xo.html ) and the Raider appear to be:
1. The Titan has blue accents and this has red.
2. The Titan has a seamless glass touchpad and wrist rest while this has a traditional click pad. Plus this has a fingerprint reader.
3. The Titan has one more M.2 slot.
4. The Titan has a vapor chamber, this has at least 6 heat pipes.
Actually it looks like that the Titan also has the plug for the Fingerprint:
Titan slot: th-cam.com/video/77qHW85cOus/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mcARdojqBqDFDCsr&t=1220
Raider slot: th-cam.com/video/VunfV4NI0BM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4jTGdWch2aZ4KCIa&t=736
The very left of the motherboard, next to the speaker.
@@MakaiTechReviews the slot for it but not on the machine 😞. (I agree that it's effectively the same mobo and chassis)
@@MakaiTechReviews I'm thinking the Normal finish on the Raider will last longer than the Glass finish of the Seamless Titan touchpad...would be nice to know for sure if the titan had the fingerprint reader indeed, the Glass finish has me wondering if the radiwr would be a better but for durability. I hav an MSI 1decade now, still standing.
Well the motherboard has the fingerprint port, but obviously the reader itself is missing from the chassis.
@@zechssiguro7476 the Titan is glass. I'm pretty rough on hardware and mine is still flawless. Attracts fingerprints like crazy though 😅
Will the Samsung 990 pro with heatsink fit in this laptop? TIA.
Yo Makaitech! Good Evening to you it is evening in my place as of this time of writing! I noticed that the inside of this laptop is spacious. Will this fit an 8 to 12mm M.2 Heatsink? I plan to buy this thick heatsink tomorrow. I have the laptop now!
Hey Makaitech! I am going to buy this 18.4" gaming laptop THIS WEEK! I want to know because MSI did not put this important information in their web when you look at the specifications of this gaming laptop. Will this accept a SODIMM DDR5 5600 MHz memory? I am already eyeing a 2 Kits of 2 x 48 DDR5 5600MHz G.Skill Rip Jaws or Corsair Vengeance Memory. 2nd question is if there is no Wifi Card/WiFi Module faster than the Intel Killer, do you mean that this is the best and fastest Wifi Module to date?
Hi there. Long story short, YES it can handle 5600 MT/s (2x2800 Mhz) SODIMMs. As of the Wifi, it has a Wifi 7 module in it. Currently even very few routers support this standard, as this module is pretty new this is why no other alternatives I could list out in the video. The next possible big leap will be Wifi 8 (~2028 so we are far away from there)
@@MakaiTechReviews
HEY SIR I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? Is the M.2 slot space spacious? Do you suppose that I can fit an 8MM M.2 Heatsink on my 2 M.2 NVMEs?
I didn't buy the raider 18hx in Europe, but I went to Asia and bought one with an English keyboard. The price was more than 3,800 euros. Mine is the RTX4090+2TB version. Unless you pursue the ultimate touch feel, I don’t think there is any need to buy Titan 18hx. Originally I planned to buy the raider GE78hx but it only has a 2k screen and the GE68HX is only 16 inches. I happened to see the newly released raider 18HX. Been using it for a month and it’s great!😁😁
Hi! I am planning to get the 18HX also... Just want to know how is it now?
Planning to take an upgraded one to 64GB RAM and 4TB SSD.
@@ElvYannix Just go and get one! It's awesome machine my old vector gp66 looks like a toy compare to this one. Mine is 32gb 4080 paid £3200 for it. Games on Miniled 4k looks very different as picture quality is almost oled. Bf2042 2560x1600 max settings 125fps @ 4k with dlss on quality 115fps. This feels premium laptop in every way
okay now, how do you put everything back?
Which SSD slot is gen 5 the left for right one?
What do i do after i replace 2 brand new ssd, and these's no system on the ssd? Can someone walk me through the setup step?
You have 2 options:
Either use raid setup (combines the 2 ssd into one, for speed. But i wouldnt recommend it), or setup as 2 different storage space. This can be setup in your BIOS. Then create a bootable USB flashdrive with a windows installer (this can be download from microsoft). Boot from your usb flashdrive and finish your new OS installation.
@@Outoftimet.t go to advanced bios disable raid or it won't detect your nvme unless you get the raid drivers and boot B4 the install which is annoying as heck
@MakaiTechReviews so its f11 to get to bios right? Let say that i want to do 1 drive with window 11 pro first, then the 2nd drive with Ubuntu, is this possible?
Hi! Thank You sharing with us. what about the display? Are they also the same in titan and raider?
I may have commented on your Titan 18 HX disassemble, and same applies here. I am worried about space to put 3rd party heatsinks on SSD. Gen 4 SSDs can run hot, but Gen 5 SSD run so hot I'm super skeptical about putting Gen 5 in a Titan or Raider 18 HX without having to cut case bottom to put full sized heat sink, and then have laptop sit angled on top of laptop cooler like Llano cooler.
Is there even space for a Gen4 SSD that comes with heatsink installed like Seagate Firecuda 530?
Thank you if you can answer these questions. If not, I'm sure someone will eventually have answer before I decide which one I want and start cutting holes in bottom to allow big heatsinks on SSDs. :)
Tks for the concept of the Seagate Firecuda 530... I'll be looking into the coolest running Gen4&Gen5 SSD brands & products.
@@zechssiguro7476 - that would be wonderful, and even more especially for SSDs that are 4GB because I think the bigger SSDs run a little bit hotter, and what even is the point of buying system that's suppose to be biggest and fastest laptop like this or Titan unless biggest and fastest 4GB SSDs (or bigger if they ever happen) are used?
Is it become hot like gs75?
When i play rocket league cpu 80 90 95 c
But gpu only 70 or around it
is the housing entirely made of plastic? any metal part??
Hello i just got my raider 14v and its my first time upgrading which M.2 SSD is the gen 5?
hello sir apply liquid metal cpu and gpu performance and what this pad with used on the vrm and memory gpu
Hi, is microphone/camera cable plugged in to the motherboard with display cable or it's another cable somewhere else?
Yeah, most likely that's the case. I cannot find any other cable routed to the top part.
@@MakaiTechReviewsThank you!
where you buy？i dont see anysome can buy inline
