board flip looks difficult but it is very easy, i did mine to install 128gb ram, it took 45 minutes to complete with cpu and gpu repast as well. this video helped.

 

Just got my GT75 Titan-013 / Titan 8SG and it doesn't really fit in my backpack. The only hit for "backpack" in this thread suggested https://www.amazon.com/Everki-Checkpoint-Friendly-18-4-Inch-EKP120/dp/B005LMWP78/ , but I was hoping for some other options. I took the laptop physically into Target, Staples, and Best Buy and nothing they had in stock fit.

 

I just upgraded my GT75 8RG with a Samsung 970 evo plus 1TB but when i use the Samsung magician software it says drive is not supported does anybody know why is that please help

LAPTOP CONFIGURATION:
CPU - I9 8950 HK
GPU - GTX 1080 8GB
DRIVES - 2X 256 GB SSD IN RAID 0 MODE
1X 970 EVO PLUS 1TB
1X HDD 1TB

You are in RAID mode for your other drives. That stops Magician from working properly. It is rather finicky software.

 

This!

 

Is this the exact same reason why the Samsung nvme driver not getting installed it says nvme not plugged in.

Yes. When you are in RAID mode, the Intel drivers handle the SSDs.

 

I had the same problem. Not all the connectors (controllers) are the same. They used to be easy to tell a PCIe and SATA apart based on the pin-slot configuration. Now it is harder. Two of the slots are for Intel SSD only, btw. That leaves 3 M.2 slots and the 2.5" SATA. Of the 3 m.2 slots I think only 2 of them are PCIe and the other is SATA. So like you I used the two PCIe slots to get the high performance, and tried the third M.2 slot with the EVO 970 1 TB. I could not get it to be recognized. My final solution was to stick with the two PCIe and use a 2TB 2.5 drive.

 

so now I benchmarked my 970 evo plus and im getting very low speeds
This is my configuration
MSI GT 75 8RG
I9 8950 HK
GTX 1080 8GB
512 GB RAID 0
1 TB 970 EVO PLUS
1TB HDD

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS

 

To be honest, those are better numbers than I am getting from my pair of 970 Pro in Raid 0. I wouldn't be surprised if it is something to do with the driver or RAID controller.

 

Aren't we supposed to get better speeds then this??
I even tried the CrystalDiskMark but still not that great speeds

Try to check raid driver

My benchmarks are from a single 970 Evo plus SSD its not in raid mode the raid 0 SSD's are performing way better

Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

 

It will still use the RAID driver because you have an array already configured. That mode is all-or-nothing.

 

So is there any solution for it by any chance

So i need to get Intel ssd only to get good speeds

I don't have MSI. But this is what MSI have put in the User's manual. Maybe call MSI support.

 

My model only have 3 M.2 slots so I am not sure that is accurate for me.

 

Did you install the latest Intel RST driver?

 

I am presently on 17.2.0.1009.
2x 970 Pro in RAID 0
64GB Optane Module with 1TB WD Black HDD
GT75-056

 

Mine too

What I might try when I get home is to remove the Optane + HDD and see if that helps. We might just be overloading the bus.

 

Maybe try newer drivers from Win-raid https://www.win-raid.com/t2f23-Intel-RST-RSTe-Drivers-newest-v-WHQL-v-WHQL.html

 

Will this help me too??

Newer drivers doesn't always mean better (performance). But if you have problems with what you already have you haven't much other choices than try them.

 

New drivers failed because of my Optane drive. I am ripping that out and just putting a 2TB SSD in place of it and its accompanying HDD.

I did some further research and my 970 Pros are actually performing close to what reviewers were getting on a single drive. I am just not seeing a boost to RAID performance. Probably some limitations on the 4x PCIE link.

Since I probably don't need 1TB capacity for my system drive if I have 2TB on a SATA SSD for my offline games and data files, I will just go to back to a single NVMe and switch back to the Samsung drivers. Fewer points of failure, less power consumption, and an overall simpler setup.

 

Anybody know if the GPU is upgradable? I have the core i9 with GTX 1080 version and looking for the possibility for RTX upgrade in the future.

 

The GPU is removable. The trick would be finding a replacement in the same form factor that works on the board.

 

Same form factor, heatsink compatibility, and power wattage compatibility (TDP).

 

Any idea where to get this or atleast which site to watch for? , i know eurocom supplied gt73 upgrades and in their websites its just GTX series as of the moment tried to ask one of the rep but did not understand me instead send me to the same link im asking about.

Im not in a hurry or really is a must to have just wondering if i will have to sell my GT75 now aslong as it still has a decent price on it brought mine like couole of months ago the last og GTX series for this model with core i9 on it. That said i don't know if its an option or possible to upgrade the GPU or just sell the laptop now and buy another with 2080 on it?

 

My applogies for throwing questions after questions as mxm is relatively new to me. Anyway i got a response in eurocoms' rep that RTX will not come in MXM format if so are the new GT75 that came in this quarter with RTX 2080 is not MXM?

 

If I dont use dragon center, what software should I use to adjust the cpu/gpu power plan and fan speed?
I planned to use .bat file to input XTU command to change the CPU power plan, does this work for GT73?

How about the GPU plan and fan speed setting?

 

Fan speeds are best controlled by MSI Silent Option.

You want the Skylake version.

 

Thank you so much.
Do you have any recommendation for the .bat file configuration for XTU?

 

No. I found that XTU tended to make my system unstable. I don't overclock laptops so I can preserve battery and keep the heat in check.

 

Hiya guys,
I was considering an 3.8TB m.2 SSD for this laptop. But I realized it is longer than most. Do you think it would fit?
Also would the bios support it?

A friend of mine bought it for his thin Aero laptop and it was too big apparently.

https://www.samsung.com/us/labs/pdfs/collateral/Samsung-PM983-NF1-Product-Brief-final.pdf

 

The GT75 with RTX 2080 is a MXM format , just an over sized body, but same MXM dimension contact plate.

 

If it is longer than the 80mm standard, it won't fit. The width won't be a problem if you use the middle slot and don't have drives on either side of it. As far as BIOS support, I do not know. Given the expense of such a drive, I don't think that I would risk it.

 

Hi team!

Something's bugging me , i'm seeing voltage and or power limit on GPU (GTX1080) I don't know how long its been going on as honestly doesn't feel any performance loss, and I just happen to play around with MSI Afterburner's monitoring optio I tick power and voltage limit to appear on screen out of curiosity. But then I'm surprise as it popped out that there is power and or voltage limit going.

Thermals are stable at 70C-ish GPU usage at 99% and happen on both overclocked or standard. I still have dragon center installed and just using afterburner for monitoring.

Im just surprised because 2 power bricks and im getting power and voltage limit. Anybody could help me clear this is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

GPUs have their own limits on how much power they are allowed to draw and that is likely the limit you are hitting. Afterburner does have options to let you draw more power but if you are already pushing the limits that the software will allow, that is all you can do. Having two bricks will help with total draw from the laptop but won't provide extra power for a single component beyond its limits.

 

Thank you for explaining that. Im just curious because I'm coming from a Razer Blade pro laptop and by far had worst experience with not just thermal throttling and also power throttling maintaining that 250watts brick they supplied. Anyway not to stray off the topic im relieve to know its not the same situation.

 

I dont remember the keyboard shortcut to get into the advanced options of the @hidevolution bios. Can someone give me a hand?

 

Try this.
Hold shift key down and press F2, release the keys and hold alt key down and press F3.

 

Nope

 

It's hold down left alt, right control, right shift, F2.

 

Sent it in a PM.

 

Thanks guys that was it. I think I have a bad SSD, it keeps disappearing when trying to write to it.

 

Whoa, it had a short life?

 

No it is a Kingston HyperX SH103S3240G I had laying around. It has been fine since I put it in. Just the last few days it just disappears when trying to update a game on it. Have to reboot to get it back, then same thing again.

I am going to buy a new drive, just trying to decide on a 3rd M.2 or just a 2.5.
