How does the Octane 17.3" handle a desktop CPU? Does it not get a bit hot...? And also is it even worth the extra money?

Thanks

The laptop has really impressive cooling potential, but still, the only real benefit to the k version of the processor is overclocking which you certainly wouldn't want to do in a laptop, and heat would be nearing its peak. I wouldn't recommend that processor I that laptop unless you had specific requirements for it.

So i'd probably best got for either the i7-4790S or the i7-4790. Even then, what's the difference between them, just the GHz?

Hi masyarrum,

I'm receiving my octane 15' with the 4790K today.
I'm doing a lot of computational calculation (Molecular Dynamic, etc...CUDA is my new friend).
I can tell you in the next few days if i can boil water or not ^^

That would be very helpful! Thanks :)

The 4790s is a low power option, youd have to google to find the differences between it and the standard 4790

Hi, a small update for now,
It took me a while before to have a full and operationnal install of ubuntu but now it's working perfectly.
For the temperature after 24 hours of intensive calcul... (MD using the 8 cores and the GPU (cuda), ~38 ns per day :D)
I have reach 98C for the cpu and 72C for the gpu (70% max load).

Its a bit high especially the cpu but i still need to optimise the scripts ^^, the ratio CPU/GPU is not perfect yet
