Just wondering how it manages thermals. I know this gen AMD is really great for graphics, but I know thermals also plays a big role.

Right now im on a X1 carbon with 1165g7, and it supposed has pretty good graphics for intel. But even if im getting 100fps ill get dips down to 2fps at times because it starts to throttle.

So while the CPU and igpu are good enough for me on paper, the performance really isnt.

I dont game a ton on it, but its nice to have for the random esports title every so often (so i wish it was better).

So how is FW? And is there a big difference between the 7640U and 7840U?

Thanks.

    I am gaming on a 7840U connected to a Razer Core X Chroma with a 4070 inside. Just played a session of Marvel’s Midnight Suns (so not *too* demanding) at 4K high settings, achieving an almost locked 60 fps. Even when relying on the eGPU for graphics, the FW understandably still gets a little loud, but not overwhelmingly so. I’m guessing if I dropped resolution to 1080p and capped framerates etc. then it would be cooler.
