    Can anyone with the 2070 model share the vbios? It can be exported using the button on the right of bios version in GPU-Z

    A GPU-Z screenshot will also be very helpful

    Yup can confirm also working here, with the same TV. The latest TV firmware update added support for G-Sync, and its working perfectly when connected via HDMI from my laptop.

    To anyone who followed the bios unlock, slope and current tweaks still having frequencies capped at something like 3.3 GHz I just overcome that switching to Turbo profile in Msi Dragon Center and putting 0 (zero offset) for both CPU and RAM.
    I used to have it on ECO mode and that blocked my cpu and gave me EDP other all the time.

    I obtain the lowest (time?) on TS Bench: 55.096 on the 1 thread test with no throttle, 64 deg celsius, almost constant 4.1 GHz with a -20.5 mV.
    If I go lower than -20 (like -40) I get bigger score (time) on the same test for a deg more.

    Ignore if useless, I just wanted to give something back :)

    [EDIT] SpeedShift set to 128, 1 core multiplier set to 41

    Finally I received Kryonaut and pads. With the help of an experienced friend, repasted cpu, gpu, used 1mm pads on cpu side chips and 0.5mm for vrams. After load test we got a huge improvement on CPU compared to previous situation. I was having 90+ C temp in any game and close to 99 C on heavy load. Now it does not even reach 80 C on full load.
    GPU did not have much problem before but apparently we made a mistake. Temperature shoots up to 90 C when I run any game and get to 95 C in less than a minute. We had removed stock pads on vrm and put 0.5mm new ones instead. My theory is those pads prevent GPU to effectively contact heatsink. Should I try to remove Vram pads and use Kryo only on GPU side?

    dont use thermal pad on vrams it always blocks the contact between the heatsink and gpu surface ... use kryonat on them or any paste u like it will work like charm

    Should I also remove 1mm pads on mosfets from CPU side and Kryo on them. CPU has great performance atm.

    We did as you said. It is working like a dream now. This much thermal performance difference amazes me, why did msi use such low quality paste for a high end system and beefy cooling

    Corona happened

    In all seriousness though this is what usually happens to threads on notebookreview.

    You got the hype phase when the product is announced at events like computer, the initial review phase, benchmark sharing rave phase, issue troubleshooting phase and then the thread slowly dies down

    I'm selling mine so I won't be contributing anymore. The GE75 has been my favorite BGA laptop I've ever had. I love the fan control, the design, the CPU/GPU capabilities but it's time for me to move on, I switch laptops like some people switch face masks.

    Thin out the herd (of laptops). I kinda had my fun and pushed it and enjoyed it. Like most of my other big laptops after the first few months it never left its perch at my desk setup. I sell them and then buy something new, it's a never ending cycle with me :D

    EDIT** Got in touch with MSI Support, their is no vbios update available for the 8SG.

    Hey guys! So I have a MSI GE75-8SG and was wondering if anyone has an updated vbios. The reason I ask is I have an Oculus Rift S on the way and have read about some pretty common issues regarding random black screens on the Rift S with MSI laptops. Maybe someone with an 8SG and the Rift S can ease my mind on the old vbios! Just trying to be pro-active prior to the Rift S arriving to ensure it works without issue out of the box. Thanks in advance!

    My current vbios is;

    90.04.3B.00.1F
    Build Date: 11/20/18.

    For reference from the Oculus support site:

    If you're experiencing a black screen or compatibility issue with your MSI laptop, try these troubleshooting steps:
    1. Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. Instructions for updating your graphics card drivers can be found here.
      • If the newest drivers don't solve the issue, please reach out to the MSI support team to update the VBIOS that enables HDCP on the DisplayPort

    Congrats on your purchase. MSI tech support would provide you that if you reach out to them. They would ask for SN and current VBIOS info in order to provide you with a matching one.

    Ya no vbios update exists for our laptop. The Rift S arrives on April 6th so I’ll report back for you on performance. Also got a Valve Index on order but thats 8 weeks out.

    Also after a bunch more research I discovered the MSI laptop and Rift S issues were on older models, we should be ok.

    I just installed the new BIOS. The laptop is working normal. Keep in mind that if you want to update the BIOS you must disable Intel BIOS Guard Support, otherwise the process will fail
