Hi predator comunity i used to known the good and bad about the helios 300 nowdays im really impresed with the aeroblade fan and cooling of the helios 500 lineup (i was a msi only-head until i saw 60°c on the helios 500) im skinny and short but i really love bulky laptops for the cooling system (like titan) but after watching many vids i saw the helios 500 has a well done chasis and enough space for cooling and i love the vents looking my question is.
I'ts true that the gpu on the amd/vega version cannot be oc'd? And just the cpu? Or there's some hidden bios update or something and also my other question is if theres some news regards athe new ryzen model (a bulky one i dont like 15'' ) also is the helios 700 going to replace the helios 500? Like the helios 500 did on the predator17~17x and most important if its still worth buying that model helios500 amd or the intel model over a rtx2060 9gen intel? (Saw many good prices on those and aero blade as i said have impressed me but cant find the thermals on those they are 15" so im still not 100% sure) and just cant find info of the gpu of the vega variant just one user that had the helios 500 amd asking for a bios to upclock the vega and its watts i actually saw that theres much thermal headroom to oc a bit whitout any issue to get 1-3 more fps on gpu that would be great 
Sorry for the long and many questions my brother has a predator and i was thinking of becoming between a titan or a predator user and i think i made my choice (great price/and power /good thermals won at the end) but i want to be sure (im interested on the amd model but any intel is fine as long its not the triton i want bulky and, aggresive looking if the helios700 would be arround the same price would be fantastic even if it has a 2060)

monhun great sword user Btw...


Thanks in advance community

    Vanguard the H500 still a powerfull beast wish i could have one myself :) regarding OC the ryzen im not sure but dunno if the ryzen software would let you overclock or not maybe some of the H500 owners here could share a light on this one and i think the H500 would probably have a refresh or a new variant the H700 its a mean beast but with the new Ryzen 3rd gen not sure which model will come out to support its full new features also the new H300 its also a good engineered machine awesme cooling and pre-undervolted by factory (acer listened to the advices given) bare in mind bios unlocking of any acer device its not allowed to discuss in the community and it will void warranty with immediate effect whats hot now its the new h300 with the 1660ti the benchmarks done on it are great  so there are loads of choices available its up to you to choose one :) this is just my own view anyway

    Thank you very much xapim
    :s i dont want to void anything just wanted to know if there was any oficial update or bios to increase the performance of vega i love that card and cant find info about the overclock in ryzen master or the predator sense i hope some owner can find something But
    I saw the question where you answered regards the new chip the lovely 3700x well i think (not sure only 1% sure so take this that its not going to happen) but if someone had a 2700 and upgraded to a 3700x (in desktop) whitout having to update bios or anything in aai not high end motherboard i think its maybe a possibility that when the predator detects the new cpu asks to confirm the BitLocker TPM settings like it happens on the 2700x (from some review that i saw a while ago) but its just me assuming dont take anything about that serious 
    If that happens wulp i would become a acer head 100% because since i saw the predator of my bro i keep getting amazed of any little thing i used to think that wasnt corrected from way older models and if the 2019 model has factory undervolted omg i think i'll start to advertize the predator line here in my country cuz ppl really suffers from throttling in other brands and here noone knows what undervolt is

    Oh one more question aside from the gpu oc. I asked in chat to custom service about if the ram in the ryzen was 2666 because everywhere ppl says that it comes with 2400 and they told me that it ships with 2666 now im really confused ... ik maybe the performance gain maybe it's not that great but if someone got the amd model with 2666 could confirm? So we can tell if some models actually shipped with those.

    Vanguard Well to answer your question about the new H300 1660ti yes they come pre-undervolted from factory it has great temps and its scoring high in some games surpassing the 2060 and even at a 2070 max q level so yes its a beast :) and all predators (as far a i know not sure about the really older ones but from my model up) support 2666 even if they do not state that in the specs the specs only state the values that was tested with it doesnt mean it will not support more
