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

i have windows xp 32 and 64bit
i have wndows vista home premim, ultimate 32 and 64 bit
and windows 7 32 and 64 ultimate.dont ask if this windows are activated .i just took a printscreen and you can see what are they

 

i have the last bios.. i push alt+ins to popup the north bridge etc but cant find remap or smth like that ( omggg can anyone help me?? cant find anything

 

hey i made 9.7 driver for vista x64 if someone want to test it:
http://rupp3r.free.fr/gt725/test97vistax64.zip
i can t test it because i don t have vista x64 but they should work!
for install, extract, run setup, select custom install and select only the display driver (i deleted other stuff because it s just a test)

 

i will on windows7 64bit

 

don t know if it will work on 7 :s

 

vista 64 works on windows 7 i tried lambo freak .INF for vista 64 on windows 7 and it worked perfectly ! i can even OC'd to 24% without it crashing down !

 

AND YES!!! omgg its working on windows 7 64bit!!!!!
everest says catalyst 9.7 with drivers date 2/7/2009
THANKS M8!!! XX i love you!!

 

also while i am surfing to web and maybe on idle the gpu temperature is 56c ..its ok? that about yours?

 

yes that is fine, mobile CPU shuts down at 120c. Eco Mode should run from 48c up to 58-60 for simple browsing etc: Intense gaming up to 100c

Just make sure you keep the right hand underside of the machine nice and clear.

 

hey glad to know that!
I will improve them and give the new link!

 

i was saying about gpu not cpu.anw thanks..

 

mine is idling at 51

 

improve ? what do u mean? also upload on rapidshare.com coz that link i donwloaded was tooooo slow..! anw now i updated the drivers..what about catalyst cc ?

 

I'm usually @ 44C while browsing and Turbo Batt mode, FF 3.5.1 + c.100 tabs or so. (Running on battery obviously, and turbo batt mode seems to really help, and it actually looks to me like they might be undervolting the CPU a little...)

Now if I'm on AC:
Power Saver mode(Vista) I usuall am around 48-50C browsing/idle.

Balanced mode gets me about 52-54C browsing/idle. 60-70C gaming

Performance mode gets me about 54C browsing/idle, and again 60-70C.

Max GPU temp by ATI tray tools looked to be around 79C IIRC. (while gaming)

Room temps are mostly mid 70sF. (We're headed for the 2nd coldest July in over 140y of records... coldest was in the 19th century. Feels more like early Fall than Summer... only 2 90F degree days so far and they were a while ago now.)

CPU thermal throttling: I thought that they throttled back at 100C and shutdown then if temps didn't decrease.

 

while browsing and listeing music... hdd 44c, cpu 54c and gpu 56.. with coolermaster cooling pad..its good???

 

in improving i mean the other stuff that are present in the package
you should have kept the ccc installed no?

 

True for quadcore desktop, mobiles generaly run hotter.

GPU temps:

Idle
ATI Mobile Radeon HD 4850 512MB = 65+c

Load
ATI Mobile Radeon HD 4850 512MB = 90+c

 

i place the driver on a file hosting service, see the link in my tutorial page, also i wonder if someone could test a little update of the driver on vista 64 ?

 

If you think its hot, change thermal paste.

CPU should never hit 100C unless fans are completely full of dust.

GPU shouldn't be over 90 really, so change thermal paste.

Advent/MSI 8.56 has solved some stability issues with multimonitor.

Cod 5 patch 1.5 im sure is messed up our ability to play multiplayer and just results in full hardware crash or shutdown, ive played this before with 1.2 patches and it worked great single and multi, apparently people say its a problem with the intro bik.

And yeah, GPU idle 48, GPU max game 70, 82 on a game that uses the hardware properly.

 

hea i had it when i was upgrading with your drivers but i have a problem with my ccc. i cant choose skin.so if you can make a tut how to update the ccc?

 

yes, i will try to mod the ccc aswell
but your problem is strange, it should not affect the ccc

 

yea i know the problem was before updating with your 64bit drivers..also what you will upgrade on ccc?

 

Has anyone got any games on windows 7 32 or 64 bit? I was just wondering for when it gets released if i should partition my 725 so half is vista 32 and half is win7 64bit, or if i should do a complete clean install on my whole HDD with win7, although i still want to be able to play games and use apps like cubase etc.

i'm using windows 7 64 with gta4 , manhunt , dead space , gears of war , far cry 1 & 2 , fear (all) , condemned ... my list is long older games works perfectly compared to vista , it will be out around october 22nd or something and everything works perfectly in the RC . since installing the RC i'm able to set my Oc to 24% !!! i would recommended it without hesitation

 

I installed Steam and Assassins Creed on my Win7 64 with no problems. I still do most of my gaming on Vista32, but would probably go ahead and switch completely over if I wouldn't have to do it all over again in October.

 

Well found out the cause of my random lockup. I guess my external harddrive which is powered by an external power source (aka wall plug ) came out just a little bit and kept dropping the connection to the computer, well when I tried to load a file off the external and it was like.. half there but half not I guess is what you can say it decided it wanted to lock up. I haven't had any issues with it again after I pushed the power cable back into the external.

Still looking for a 64bit .iso if anyone has one and wants to send one. Also pre-ordered my copy of Windows 7 yesterday.

 

On my MSI I run: Win 7 Build 7264
Steam: Empire Total war, Dawn of War 2, Fallout 3, Anno 1406, Ghost Recon 2, Half Life, Titan Quest
ARMA2, Bioshock, Bionic Commando, Crysis, FEAR 2, Assasins Creed
Apps: Adobe CS4 Collection, 3DS Max 2009, Maya

Every thing works pretty flawless, so I'd say don't hestitate. Would never go back to Vista.

 

The problem before was that windows said it was resuming, but it never did. I used to be able to just restart, but now it goes to the welcome screen and the HDD light blinks on and off, but the log in screen never comes up and it just hangs. What's going on here?
-on a different note...does anyone have the Zalman nc-2000 notebook cooler?

 

sounds like a virus or bad windows install. Have you tried safe mode. It it loads ok then at least you know there's a problem with your OS

 

A list of games I have that work with Windows 7 64 Bit and a GT725:

1. Bioshock
2. Oblivion
3. Call of Cuty 4 & 5
4. Crysis
5. Crysis Warhead
6. Paradise City
7. Fear 2
8. Left for Dead

Hope that helps..

 

Thanks guys, now i just gotta wait for win7 to be released and shipped to me

I had one of the earlier builds and it ran like a dream on my old Pentium 4 @2.8, 1gb ram pc, so i am expecting it will run supppper fast on the 725 xD

 

can anyone help me with this ? http://img34.yfrog.com/img34/9338/58582426.png

 

i run last version of windows 7.. 7600 the same that you ordered.. you will not see different from vista coz our laptop is rocket!! trust me .also i use ultimate..what did you bought?

 

omg your laptop has fiber optical input..plug a jack in the heatphone hole and then unplug it fast and look inside the hole.you will see a red light..OMG AAAAAAaaa

 

I have ordered win7 home premium as i got it for £44.99

 

I have the Zalman NC-2000

 

anw i cant understand you why you spend money on software..anw i will not say anything else coz they will ban me lol...so anyone can help me with the problem i post ...?

 

We need updates most of the time so having the retail versions of things good.

Your problem,

During boot up spam delete, when your there go from the main tab to advanced tab in bios, and press fn+ins or alt+ins, go to northbridge configuration and turn memory hole option on i think. (to 15-16mb.)

 

is it any good ? as the air vents of the zalman are on the front and only 2 small fans ..

 

i also download all updates that your saying: )
make a little research and maybe you will save money

 

ok i turn to 15-16mb ...then??:/

 

I now what you meant by all that i could have got it free if i wanted to (enough said) anyway i think it's well worth the money .. £44.99 ain't that bad for an OS

 

have you tried loading it with the default config in the bios ?

 

yes.pushing f9 f10 that mean load on default.also i try that you said and now the start bar doesnt working.maybe i have to run windows repair ??

 

guess you could try that , re install windows or do a memtest ... as nobody knows what's the prob actually is .. best bet is try those things

 

Maybe if you had paid for it.. you wouldnt have this problem

 

aahhaha true blazin23 )))) anw what do u suggest me ? reinstall windows with memmory hole on desable or on 15-16mb??
thanks

 

I have my laptop quite far forward in order to meet the fan holes, however if you are asking if this is worth the money then i would have to say no. The temperatures dont differ drastically and on the furmark test they dont differ at all.

 

einstall windows with memmory hole disable or on 15-16mb??

 

wow 360 pages nice....im thinking of getting the MSI GT735 because I have a smaller budget than what I would need to get the GT725...(around 800$)
