-->*OFFICIAL: MSI GT725 Owner's Lounge*<--

hmn.. i have exactly the same configurations, still using the default windows though... havent got it up to windows 7... is it significantly faster for windows 7? btw how do u upgrade the windows? do u need to backup the msi files e.g. the laptop drivers first?

 

what ever you do dont buy the wd 640 gig 8MB, terribly slow hard drive.

 

8 gig of ram on gt725 ? Anyone with feedback on this.

Many thanks

 

Lenarass/Kapros/Alex or whatever the hell you call yourself nowadays , just give me a break ! start reading ! It's all here in front of your eyes !

You been asking the same questions for the past 4 months .. how long will it takes for you to understand 1 simple thing ?


Ps: Google translation does exists

 

Thought you meant me for a second there

 

Haha, your the real alex! how could he possibly mean you lmao .

 

only to Alex "the troll" 87

 

how many aliases does lenarass have nowadays, jeeeez he's like a spy

 

Pffft, this is a world full of madness, madness I tell you! The unbelievable could happen.

Oh, and as you're all quad lovers, take this linpack64-stable eek: ), upper cut from the dual core party:




mwahahaha...
...although Im likely defecting to a quad I7 very soon

*runs away*

 

can u confirm what ram u would recommend for 8 gigs please ?

will this work ?

Thank u

man this is confusing me should i nor get the qx9300 now based on above

 

Will work , but why you want 8gb ? photoshop user ? You do realised that it will be your 3rd set of ram right ?

Why based on the above ? he got the same CPU as you.

 

Perhaps thinking hmmmmmm....can I get it to go faster somehow

@Diesel the 8GB kit should work fine

 

well its as fast as minebut im torn foe the quad for it being furure proof and allwhats ur opinion ?

 

Go on

Change of heart eh ? I'm pretty sure you know my answer.

Sell those 2 sets of rams before proceeding ! and those CPUs

 

g-skill already sold =£60
p9500 stock already sold = £100

renegotiated with laptop monkey to buy back x9100 and purchase qx9300 at £289 + x9100 = quadcore bliss

watcha think oh and the 8 gigs to complete dis bad project just need to sort out the video card now

 

Is it that hard to read ? Coventry Uni ain't good enough ? You been asking that same questions for the past 6months ... even after answering , you don't seems to get it ! you been at it over and over again.

 

Lee is a great guy ! pretty sure he will accept

Seriously ? £100 for the p9500 ????? I traded mine for a Q9200 which is worth £200!

EDIT: wait before buying the QX9300 , it's way overpriced for an ES CPU. These were selling @ 300 a piece a month or so ago .. just wait or have a look around

 

very fair im impressed thank u very much for reffering me to him dead2th3world

ps: whats with guy whos having a rant about something and banning etc ??

 

You welcomed Ignore him .. he's a troll ! apparently i don't help him enough ... he been harassing me about my Kingston rams , my BIOS , my CPU for the past 4 or 5 months.

Even when pointing him in the right direction he don't seems to understand. Already got banned more than 5 times in the past month ...

 

Seriously ? sit down and think ! why should I answer that same question again ? after the abuse you think I will ? kept on waiting ... the answer IS on the way

Very nice, if those are linpack stable then even better
Mine hits a system/board clocking wall above this, which could be down to the power circuitry or the voltages being supplied to various components, as RAM timings dont seem to affect it and it's a hard lock but 3fsb higher, whereas I'd expect some signs of impending instability before the hard lock under normal circumstances.

 

it was clean format and install for me. I had to use the 32 bit drivers even though I have a 64 bit system. It is faster on windows 7 and actually uses all 4 gigs of memory. Well worth the trouble if you want my opinion. However if you are happy with vista no need to change its basically the same minus a few os tweaks.

 

Ok might hold out and just get the RAM to keep me busy , I could always flog the processor anyway on my own time.

 

It should be stable as it's turbo OC

Encountered the same issue as you when trying to OC my quad .. without turbo , I can't go over 2.7 without a BSOD.

So I guess it gives the CPU more juice when it's on.

Why do you want the 8gb though ? You do know that performance should remain the same right ? and that most of the extra 4gb should sit there unused.

By the way , Lee got some 8gb for less. check his store. £179

Yeah noticed that maybe I should really hold out a bit longer and just save the cash.

 

problem sorted, it was my new 3 mobile dongle avec issues with avg, so i've put avast instead
Btw i've never dropped my laptop

 

Hi guys,

Firstly apologies for jumping striaght into the middle of your thread but I've been flicking through all of your posts and you look exactly the people to ask about the issue I'm currently experiencing with my new laptop.

Basically I've recently bought an Advent 6555 which as I understand is essentially a rebadged MSI GT725.

After a lot of blood sweat and tears I've managed to update the BIOS to the latest version as on the MSI GT725 download page.

HOWEVER, no matter how hard I try I cannot seem to update to the latest firmware for the EC/CAMERA/VGA. I'm currently running Vista 32 (but plan to install Windows 7 64 in a few days) and have tried the flash program but nothing happens. I'd be forever grateful if anyone could advise me how I can do this.

 

Hey Nicmaher , welcome on board. I use this to flash both EC & BIOS. Pretty easy to use .. have fun. http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0

You need to register to access the tool.

 

Wahaaaay, A 6555 user! i need a picture of your vbios with GPU-Z up!

Cheeeeers

 

Calm down Cat, calm down

 

Haha,

Guys quick question, i'm wondering if anyone here knows,

Do components come directly off a manufacturing line? or are they tested before hand?

 

Usually they will get a brief testing, but it depends from company to company and part to part. Most manufacturers expect a percentage to fail/be DOA.

 

Hi guys,

Me again - cheers for the tip-off Dead2th3world, I'll give that a go - am hoping I can get the EC firmware updated as the bloody thing's playing up big time and is refusing to boot when plugged in at the mains...

Cataclysm, I'm not totally au fait with how to post images so I'll just have to tell you that GPU-Z shows my BIOS as 'VER011.016.000.020.031382'. Is that good or bad?!

I'll let you know how my firmware updating attempts go...

 

Video hardware error "A problem with your video hardware caused windows to stop working correctly."

Been getting that for the past 3 days now when gaming.



According the windows debugging thingy , it's "probably caused by : atikmpag.sys (atikmpag+60a4)"

No BSOD whatsoever .. the game the froze for couple of sec then carries on normally.

No it's not related to overheating nor overclocking .. as atikmdag IS related to bad OC .. but what the hell is pag , never encountered this crap before.

Is the stupid card dying ?

OR is it related to the preview driver I'm using ?

 

Pssst. Cat...told you my machine in sig was going to get more beasty sometime soon as I was turning to the 4cored dark side

RE: Above.

Try removing the driver, completely cleaning out any remnants, then reinstall/revert to a known good driver.
Those sorts of issues are usually caused by slighly dodgy driver installs/bugs or failing cards.

 

I took the GPU out .. reseating/cleaning and all .. been playing L4D2 for like an hour now (still running) .. no hardware error crap so far.

Will update if anything new happens.

 

Hey Dead2th3world, hope your video cards doing ok, oh guess what I did as I could not resist

-PLEASE VIEW PIC-

Any info on how i can further speed up this baby would be much appreciated.

MANY THANKS,

 

Thanks still alive and kicking ! 5hrs non stop L4D2 .. no crash and temps were 55

I knew it ! Lee took the x9100 back ? is that your last upgrade ?

To go higher you need to use setfsb and flashing your BIOS .. if ur up for it

EDIT: is that screenie with turbo on ? or is it with C-state & EISP off ?

 

Cool happy to hear the vid cards stable. No I actually kept the x9100, I could always flog it anyway at a later date. So I am not fussed about that.

I'm also getting the 8 GIGS of RAM by monday

But overall performance has increased imensley the 4 cores due make the pc much more zippy when ur multi tasking and games still seem as fast if not faster with this processer then the x9100

Turbo 20% on,

any tricks to speed it up anymore etc would be appreciated

THANK YOU

 

Serious? mine only goes up by a tiny 4% on turbo ..

Set it to 24 .. that's the best it can offer without flashing the BIOS.

Witnessed anything weird when using turbo in games ? Like voice is not in-sync etc ?

 

No all good if anything I played Lost Planet first all sweet with full settings including Quads etc.

 

Im too afraid to try the ram at 800 though as it might go weird again

 

you can leave it @ 667 and set CPU to 24 .. should work nicely without the middle finger

How's lost planet ? is it as crap as the demo ?

 

Its visually stunning but a bit slowww, and boring at times. Ony installed it for the quad performance etc. Now trying to get into Battlefield Bad Company 2, looks COD2 ish but still fun and runs astonishingly (Quad optimized as well )

Its lookin good quite fun.

Oh here are the 3d mark scores so far with 16% OVerclock

 

Glad I didn't get it then How's the single player campaign ?

Nice , 20 & 24 now

 

I'm trying to understand BFBC2 all together, i've been toying with graphics, performance can be bad and good, i can run it max at 1080p but it feels it runs the same at my lappys native res at 1440x900??

And i think its only using half the the cores :S!

 

mines running at 1680x1050 no jutters or stutters, whats ur machine and specs : just curious

 

4850
4 gig ram
q9000

No support for X64? What are DICE doing! :S

That'd explain the low CPU usage i think.

What settings you running diesel?
