ah kk that's cool XP

Hmm~ did you check the link I posted a few posts back? The cheapest price I can find in Australia online shop is only $15 AUD more expensive than Beacon... that's like not very much! At around $113 I think it was

 

I haven't use his tool, I've use Afterburner (auto start with windows).

 

Yes, two compartments on each side. As i said i might take some pictures later when i have more time to set it up.

EDIT : Just to add something to the messenger bag discussion...It is true that i feel like carrying only the Belkin messenger bag because i look so cool and mature with it. Having the ASUS ROG bag at the same time, on my back, doesnt feel that good, but its more or less my own mind set rather then something really not stylish. I bought those two because they are both Red/Black so it really looks nice. The Asus ROG has a lot of space, although i am yet to put the books in it, maybe Ph. Ed. stuff and fit it all together.

The belking messenger bag has also a lot of space, well, a lot of compartments...but just put there this beast, the cables, later maybe eternal desktop GPU, external disks, maybe even the router...and you are done, lol.

My two cents. Ask if needed

 

whats the difference between svets vBIOS tool and MSI afterburner, other than with svet's tool its permanent?

do you get more stability from svet's tool? or better fps?

 

Thanks for the sentiments guys, and I appreciate this, but it's really no big deal here. My statement of " Sorry this thread was not more helpful..... ", was simply a direct response to lonelywolf90's inquiry of a FAQ thread, and his desire to " actually find out more details about the GT780!"...... nothing more, nothing less.

As such, I find myself apologizing again...... Sorry for any misunderstanding. I should have made myself more clear.

 

Thanks Ken, but it's really is not necessary. Those who are apprehensive, or do not recognize the value in Svet's tool, I would not recommend they use it to begin with. It's probably better they stay within the parameters of the tools MSI has provided..... ya know?

 

With svets VBIOS tool, no need to have afterburner running in background. It's "permanent". Should be usefull once you know witch frequencies you want to always use une turbo mode

 

thanks alot i finally found out what the problem was......itunes was the one making it run loud. as soon as i shut off "applemobiledeviceservice.exe*32" it got very quite. again thanks for your help.

 

Lol~ that was a very tedious way, but glad you found out what was causing it!!! I also remember last time I used itunes my laptop slowed down heaps, although the fan didn't get really loud so I never used it again. I suggest this music program called 'foobar 2000' which is a free and small program that a lot of professional music stores use since it provides a much better sound! It also runs much faster than media player, however it is solely for music and you can't play videos on it.

 

Is it normal that with increasing temperature the in-game fps drops ? I got to 90°C somehow during playing Warhammer 40K Retribution - Last Stand....And i noticed that at the beginning i was at nice 70-75 fps and in the end, around the max i was at 15 FPS...Also, given the fact that i had the fan boost on, and have the thermal paste kinda worries me.

Also, P1 seems to have no effects what so ever. I tried using the OC profile in Afterburner with no effect. It didnt yield a single extra FPS. Also the P1 increases the temperature by quite a lot and without any gain, i will keep it off. Same for Afterburner which doesnt work.

If i am doing anything wrong, please correct me. Also, tell me please how to use the P1 with Afterburner properly. Thirdly, why the temps are causing lower FPS, and why the temperature sometimes stays at 60 while playing ( Black ops, 91 FPS ) and sometimes rises by a significant amount - up until 90 ( Warhammer 40K Retribution - Last Stand, 15 FPS ). Least but not last - which cooler would you recommend for this laptop. I am buying "Belkin Notebo​ok CushTo​p Case Steel with Burnt Orange" Under my laptop, and i would like to get a cooler which would lie on the Belkin Pad. Thanks for info. Highly appreciated.

Ya, I did =)
I thought it is normal for Dell to charge more? It is expected..
I bet the real price won't be that costly, better to buy from a shop dealer instead..

Hopefully this Sunday I will get to see the Titan and try it out before buying it XD

Haha, no hard feelings k? I don't mean to make you feel that I've belittled your thread in any way, your thread is awesome and active, look how ongoing it is that it reached the 382nd page already 0_o

Definitely, an improvement to the thread to organise the information would do you a lot of favor instead of redundantly having new members asking the questions that have been asked before, don't you think?

It is my fault to make you feel that way, so don't feel sorry

 

Hey all - I am loving my rig. I didn't like the quality of unboxing videos so I worked with one my talented co-workers. These machines deserve respect. I hope y'all enjoy it.

GT780DX unboxing video ... done right.

 

Dayum~~~ that was orgasmically good~~~ send it to MSI to air on TV

Also, can you please tell me the music you used in the video?

 

Thumbs up for the video! =)

Looking forward for a review video which is cinematically done too, lol

 

Man they should totally hire you guys to do their marketing. That video kicks so much asses.

 

Yeah that was a great video ..

 

Great¡

In the configuration you put 3 hard drives:
Vertex3
750 hdd
500 hdd

Is this laptop support 3 hard drives?

 

Yes, the 3rd hard drive goes in the optical drive bay. It is an option on our MSI GT780DX Customizer.

 

Courtesy of hainns, I attached his ICM profile to improve the image quality of the original matte display of GT780R/GT780DXR (Chi Mei N173HGE-L11/21).

How to use ICM profile on Windows 7:

• Go to Control Panel -> Color Management -> Add
• Click on the color profile, and select "Set as Default Profile"
• Still on Color Management, switch to "Advanced" tab
• Click "Change System Defaults...", and it will open a new color management window
• In the new window, switch to "Advanced" tab, check "Use Windows display calibration", and then close the window
• Back to the first window of Color Management, select "Calibrate Display" on the advanced tab

 

As I await my AUO glossy panel, out of boredom, I played a bit with Nvidia Color Settings on the original matte display of GT780R/GT780DXR (Chi Mei N173HGE-L11/21).

Note:
This is done mainly to lower LED brightness on my man cave (my dark bedroom)
It may not improve color accuracy, as the main priority is to lower brightness and reduce blue stints on the matte screen.

First, you must remove all color profiles on Control Panel -> Color Management
Open Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust desktop color settings -> 2. Choose how color is set: Use Nvidia Settings

All Channels: Brightness 40%, Contrast 50%, Gamma: 0.88
Blue Color Channel: Brightness 30%, Contrast 40%, Gamma: 0.80

 

Please include this in FAQ!!! And the one above!!!

 

What a really great unboxing video!!!!

 

Thank you all for your kind reviews.

Search YouTube for "Deck the Halls with Blood".

I've been thinking about that. If it happens, I have another co-worker we will use for voice.

Yes, as Palladin said, I put the CD/DVD RW into an external housing as I don't use it much. (I use Steam for my games.) The 500GB has my work IT approved OS/Apps and all work related data.

--------------------------

$tR|k3r - will add the link to your front page? Thanks!

 

Nicely done!

 

OMG!!! It's two steps from hell!!! I have most of their collection XP I like the Dynasty CD best especially Spirit of champions

 

Really well done it's a credit to you, and perhaps MSI should consider hiring you to create their next unveiling.

Not being a gamer I am interested to know what the other components were that you were using, one was obviously some brand of mouse, but what was to the left of the MSI?

Cheers,
John

 

Just been thinking about a cooling pad...Does any1 have one that works particularly well on the GT780?

 

does anyone know how to get access to the two ram slots underneath the keyboard? I want to replace all the memory with Kingston HyperX ram. The auto access key bar seems hard to remove.

btw i have a GT780DX-406US. just bought it on thursday and arrived today.

 

I use the Thermaltake Massive23, I like the raised feel, for me it makes using a notebook more comfortable and it fits perfectly. Although I do not use the fan. It is silent if you do use it. But in the end, if you are looking for better cooling only, any cooler is only going to give you a slight improvement. The cooling design doesn't really need it.

 

Hey guys just got my GT780DXR but I'm having some trouble reinstalling windows 7 it just keeps installing new copies after I told it to reformat anyone help please I don't need 4 copies of windows 7!

 

Thanks, good to know!

 

You need to boot from the Windows DVD. At Windows setup make sure choose custom setup and delete the OS partition.

 

So leave the bios and system part an delete the OS partion? Cause I formatted the os partion before... Do I delete it and then what?

 

This usually happens when after installing Windows 7, you forgot to take out the installation DVD-ROM/Flash Drive or haven't changed the boot order in BIOS.

Try changing the boot order in BIOS to HDD first, and place others below it.

 

So leave the bios and system part an delete the OS partion? Cause I formatted the os partion before... Do I delete it and then what?

 

1. Here are some general tips to lower notebook temperature:

• Take the battery out of your notebook
• Get a good notebook stand as a surface to spread heat evenly and to improve airflow
• Blow dust off your notebook innards with compressed air spray, don't forget to spray the fan ventilations
• Use air conditioner to lower the room temperature

2. Basically P1 Turbo Mode needs to be ON in order to activate overclocking in MSI Afterburner.

3. GTX570M has a hardwired safety measure to prevent overheating, usually it comes in the form of lower clock speed to cool off the GPU, when pushed further it will auto shutdown to protect itself against heat damage.

Did you check the CPU clock speed when getting low FPS?
Who knows Sandybridge processors might be actually the real problem with their infamous CPU throttling issues, if that is the case, then use ThrottleStop with BDPROCHOT unchecked.

 

Excellent advise.
This will be very helpful to many people.

 

When It restarts during installation, DON'T BOOT FROM THE CD.

A good method to follow is to not touch the pc when installing, just leave it install.

 

No I get that I deleted the os drive and installed again and it says windows couldn't install on this system or something like that

 

I'm just wondering how to to a clean install on raid 0 hardware cause windows keeps saying "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"

Can't Wait To Receive Mine Ships on Monday...wondering Is upgrading To a 2860qm and an SSD for the Operating system is worth IT?..and Also does anyone know of Someone who successfully upgraded there GTX 570m to a 6990m?



MSI GT780DXR Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM Processor • NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 570M DDR5 1.5GB • MSI Cooler Boost Technology • Dynaudio Premium Sound Speakers •1.5TB hard drive in Raid 0 • 16GB DDR3 • Blu-ray Disc burner • 802.11 b/g/ n Wireless LAN with Bluetooth

 

I have done what you are asking for. I upgraded to 2860 QM. It's significantly faster then 2630 QM. I switched to SSD as my primary OS drive. Although it is 240 GB but I keep only OS on it. Although I like the speed I am still skeptical about the life of Flash ROM.
Try it out.
Cheers

 

Wow that's some pretty heavy duty equipment. Don't think at my age that I could take that on and especially could not operate left handed.

Cheers,
John

 

I am buying Cooler Master CF-19 the USB 2.0 Version...Its very nice cooling pad.

 

Wow, Striker should add this to the first page info. Very helpful indeed.
Step one, done.
Step two - will finish by buying Belkin Cush Top for my laptop.
Step three - Dont know how to do it. Use any Spray ? How to Spray it ?
Step four - Air conditioner = cooling pad ? If so then i am buying Coolermaster CF-19 As stated above. That should cool the laptop well on top of the belking Cush Top.

Is is correct? ? Anything else ?

PS : Where do i find the ThrottleStop with BDPROCHOT ?

 

INteresting As well as others over OCN, we never understood the design of Cyborg and how could anyone buy it But we are different

I am using Roccat. Only. Roccat Valo + Roccat KONE+...Buying Roccat Isku in few days and will give Valo to my mother, heh

 

ThrottleStop: http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...arket-upgrades/531329-throttlestop-guide.html (you can find the download link in Unclewebb's signature)

Compressed air cans can be bought at supermarkets or hardware stores. Example of how to clean your notebook with compressed air: How to clean the cooling vents on a laptop - YouTube

Air conditioner looks like this: Newegg.com - Air Conditioners, AC Units, just skip it if you don't have it, most likely you won't need it.

 

Hi

I wrote a real nice greeting to this forum but it timed out.
I just got my gt780dxr and had 2 OCZ max Iops 240 to put into it. So far I love it. Thanks so much to this whole Forom, Not just now but I have lurked for many years and benefitted greatly.

Current Pcmark is 1677xand Crystal diskmark 1Gig seq is 570read 490 write.

 

you don't need to change anything in the BIOS but you need to delete the OS partition.

And like xMAR99 said once it starts to installing OS don't touch or boot from the DVD, the installation will restart your system by itself several times to complete the installation.
