CPU & GPU are not upgradeable since they are soldered directly on the PCB.

Does the GE70 have 2 x 2.5 drive bays?
Does the 937-176322-217 have 2 x 2.5 drive bays and can it be upgraded to a 970-980 and IPS?

No.

If you buy the one without SuperRAID.
IPS is standard on majority of the models, but please double check with your vendor directly to confirm.

Same as above.
IPS can be installed manually if you possess such component. -

Power Boost is not a bug or a faulty issue but more of a bonus feature that provides more power to the system during heavy gaming.
If you find this feature to be an annoyance you can reduce visual quality settings in the game so it does not drain battery power.
Even if the system does drain battery power, this behavior sometimes isn't constant but intermittent.
Otherwise, we can suggest MSI to make this feature optional. -

Second, but related issue, can you also suggest they raise the power limit of the 980 desktop version, since it cannot draw anywhere near what it's 980m little brothers can, and not even draw the stock adapter rating. I think someone here spoke with MSI and they said it would only pull about 300w from the 330w output rated adapter.
This has greatly affected our performance, and combined with the lack of power boost when battery is drained, we get basically the same performance as the 980m version that costs a lot less. We would appreciate your efforts! -

AC adapter needs buffer to avoid overload since no AC adapter is 100% efficient and safety is most important. -
Please understand I am not being picky, I am trying to point out an issue that we really need resolved. Anything you can do to convey the importance of this to MSI would be appreciated. I would be completely happy even if they just put a setting in the BIOS where we could disable (or at the very least raise) the false limitation, they could put in a disclaimer, just like I've seen in some BIOS overclocking, where you do this at your own risk, etc. The CPU and GPUs already have power limits, there is no need for this additional false limit that is well below the adapter spec.
Thanks again Kevin, I appreciate your help in this matter. +1 for GenTechPC -

On top of that you can indeed connect two 330w adapters as I have, using a dual 330w adapter and it works fine, however it just draws a total of under 300w from the available 660w form the two adapters. -

I have what should be an easy question for Eugene. It may have been posted, but I am not going to browse through 117 pages of this thread. The question is, where in the heck can I buy some things from the dragon collection? ? Everything is so hard to find, its almost laughable. Backpacks, keyboard covers, mice, shirts, etc are practically non existent. Is that not what people crave, and should be readily available? Thanks

Hey guys, i have an answer from our HQ team about the power draw issue.
They have acknowledged this problem and have been doing some analysis and safety testing to find a new way to re-arrange the power plan of the laptop and improve the drop of performance. Once the new plan has been fine tuned and fully tested, we'll make those versions of the firmware files available for download.GTVEVO likes this. -

I sure would like a Hecate backpack, and a GT70 Keyboard cover, I found a DS-200 mouse on Amazon....used....kind of. It was a demo mouse. I have searched everywhere, even asked a couple Aussie sites if they would ship to the US, but they said they could not. Seems to me that the US market would eat this stuff up, as I know I would. Newegg offers a very limited selection as well. They dont even have the latest mouse. It is kind of disappointing that these items are not more readily available.

I have a question Geno. Did the GT60 series get discontinued? I've been looking around on Xoticpc, GenTech and other sites and I cannot find it at all. I even looked on MSI's site themselves and found nothing. I'm guessing I've overlooked some notification of it not being continued somewhere, but I still think I'd have seen or heard of anything like that by now.
-
I doubt this, but is there any chance MSI could help out Svet to create an unlocked, at-your-own-risk EC firmware so that people with a two-adapter system could get the most out of their hardware? Of course, any resulting damage would be completely at the user's expense. -
This year MSI is celebrating its 30 year anniversary. Can we expect anything special coming (laptop-wise) from you guys in the near future?

hi there, I just got my 4k MSI GS60 ghost pro 4k (haswell i7-4720HQ). After reading on the forums, Ive read the panel would have a 48hz refresh rate. However, Intel shows that the panel has a fixed 60hz refresh. Ive checked HWinfo about my screen type, and its the following screen ;
Monitor Name (Manuf): SAMSUNG LƒFL156FL02-P01
After checking it out, it seems it has a 60hz refresh aswell. Whats going on? Does my model has a 60hz or 48hz refresh rate? Im confused. -

Model: GS70 2QE
After installing lastest SCM through service page, it reports .NET Framework error as below.
Note: I did reinstall NET Framework, reinstall SCM, none of them works. Rolled back to previous version and still working fine. I suspect this release only works with those newer models as there is "RestrictModel_DeviceName" in the log. But still, it's in my model service page.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I recently picked up a GT72S DOMINATOR G-037 and i have tried searching the msi website and everywhere else and can't seem to find an answer. Does MSI have a utility to update drivers and such? For what i can tell it says not to use MSI live update. I have registered my laptop and the only thing i see under the download section is what seems to be multiple help desk choices that all look the same .

Hello.
According to official page for MSI GS60 6QE Ghost Pro this laptop has:
- Thunderbolt 3 port which supports 2 4K monitors at 60Hz
- Mini DisplayPort 1.2 which supports one 4K monitor at 60Hz
# Question 2 is: Where to buy splitter Thunderbolt --> 2 x miniDP? Does it exist?
Thanks -

Do we have any news on when the newly announced GS40 with the 960m and the external GPU unit might become available? I am waiting to upgrade and really want to stay with MSI as my current GE60 MSI laptop has been flawless, pretty much, so I figure I should stay with a good thing.
Thanks for any news you have on these two newly announced products. -
anyone has experience with MSI GL62?

I would like to upgrade my GS60 6QE (add 16GB RAM and put 256GB SSD). But there is no quick access to RAM and SSD. So I must disassemble laptop completely to do upgrade.
I have warranty 12 monthes. Will warranty be broken?

I just purchased a WS72 6JQ-008US and loving it! I do have 1 question concerning the LAN Ethernet driver. Device Manager shows me Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 but the driver is ancient v2.1.0.16 04/2013. I cannot find a current driver for it but when I am searching online it seems to somewhat related to the "Killer E2200"
The MSI website shows a similar "Killer LAN & Killer Wireless" package that has drivers that are way newer: 2015-10-19.
Do you know if it is compatible with the AR8161? When I unzipthe package there are several folders available so I'm a little reluctant to try the drivers in the Killer package.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
