FOR COOLING THE LAPTOP HASÂ “proprietary HyperCool Pro technology” that consists of radiators and metal heat spreaders over the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRMs to keep core components below 90 C at all times. Perhaps more notably, the Scar II will carry additional heat pipes to cool its more powerful GTX 1070 GPU and it will likely weigh a bit more than the Hero II BUT COOLING IS WHAT MAKES THE LAPTOP STABLE.
some minimal redesign and another light bar on the front of the laptop.
