MSI Vector GP66 HX Overview:

Performance and Cooling

Like the rest of the 2022 MSI HX series, the Vector GP66 HX brings Intel’s 12th Gen “desktop-level” processors. The laptop is configurable up to Core i9-12900HX. However, only the Core i7-12800HX is available in Nepal. It is a 16-core processor with 8 Efficient and 8 Performance cores. This is paired with NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti which has 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It is capable of drawing up to 150W power with NVIDIA Dynamic Boost.

The Vector GP66 HX is even part of select laptops to support MSI OverBoost 2.0 technology. As a result, it can unlock the max 205W CPU-GPU performance under extreme conditions. To contain the heat produced by the internals, MSI has opted for the in-house Cooler Boost 5—with two large fans and seven wide heat pipes.

Upgradeability
