Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Yeah except what I needed was NOT located on the the front page. I clearly said my laptop came without any instructions for register the warranty as I got it though XoticPC. I just wanted to make sure I was using the right site due to the 30 day restriction. I can understand trying to keep the forum tidy, but whining about reading the lead post and redirecting people there to be lazy defeats the purpose of this site. Especially after someone has already so kindly answered the problem. Get off your high horses.

Hi omair1995,
Allow me to introduce myself...... I can be grumpy!
The forum is about marketing and advertising, and to this end, social networking. It's participating membership is comprised of notebook novices, gamers, enthusiast, and industry professionals alike. Amongst the membership, it is about the sharing and exchange of information, and ideas.
What seems to have offended you, is a little fun at your expense. EXPECT IT! Many new members post questions (over, and over, and over again) that have frequently been addressed, FAQ's links have been posted, manufacturer websites provide answers, and is readily available in the search engines. Sorry, but seasoned members do expect YOU to do a little homework, and it is a FACT, many come here too lazy for this, expecting the voluntary membership to do the work for them. A FACT, and if you do not understand this, you have not been reading the forums for very long...... AND, another FACT, many ask the questions, without reading at all! Some new members even have the misguided perception that we are here to be their personal Answer Smurf. These really tickle me, especially when they get mad, because they don't receive an instant reply. So, yes, many members ire and grow weary over such as this..... and rather than telling members to 'Get off your high horses', have some understanding, and do your part.
Since you have been a member since 2010, I am surprised you have not understood this by now.
I clearly posted the following in the lead post of the GT70 2OD thread, and hence, my satire:
As such, you would not believe the countless times I have had to repeat this (and other) information, to folks who fail to do a little due diligence. Furthermore, this information is readily available on MSI's own websites, and it takes but a minute or so to locate it. Also, if you have extended warranty from Xotic, they clearly post this information on their site, as well. What other information do you need?

Meh, don't let that ruin your day...... smile and rejoice that the internet is still a place of free expression!
That guy is clearly maladjusted, an egotist on an agenda of obsession..... with a bone to pick, and bridges to burn, he broadcast to the world, "IDIOTs ABOUND, and I AM LIVING PROOF!" I suspect he also feels empowered authoring such a website, but a part of him knows the foolishness therein..... hence, his attempts with anonymity.

Well said -=$tR|k3r=- (I do not know how you manage to get this user, but thank God for copy/paste
) at post #1318...
When I first started reading this thread was inclined in buying this system (though the heat issue was keeping me doubtful). Once I got the machine, I went straight to MSI website, created an account and followed the instruction on this very first page of the thread and had the machine registered within no time. There was no need for him to mention about his horses (he must be on a ranch), I was only courteously answering / helping him; but he took it the wrong way and became nasty for no reason... Anyway, who cares! -

From the best I can tell, the NStech fans are the new noisy fans MSI has started using and is why they are in our new GT60's... the T&T fan is the previous fan that is quieter and physically fits, but Cloudfire has stated is also less powerful. I have the NSTech fan in my GT60, and it does have the noise... I have applied a dab of white lithium grease to the shaft and it helped some, but it's still noisier than it should be.
This is my understanding, but I could be completely backwards as well ha... the NStech growl/hum/grind whatever you want to call it is a bit annoying in a quiet environment, but I use turbo boost when I game and love the cool temps, so curious if the T&T could match the max speed cooling.
Not sure I actually answered anything

'Get off your high horses' is an expression of generations past, of which I can relate. Anyhow, as you know, I am a GT70 2OD owner, but I had to come to the this thread to join-in on the fun. The problem is certainly not unique to this member..... many others before him, and assuredly many more to follow..... so saddle-up buck-a-roos, and let's ride! There is more fun (at their expense) to come, as we lasso those lil' doggies!
I know what you mean about the heat vs. cooling issue..... a problem challenging all notebook manufacturers. MSI has done 'fair' job considering the tech, but if it's any consolation, I know they are mindful of our current concerns. They are listening, and I expect future improvements with this, including power mgmt. and the PA as well.

was everyone else aware that for each color their are 4 different bars to choose which shade you prefer??? just found out now while i was messing wit

Glad you like it, Welcome to the club!

So far wifi has been totally stable, reliable and fast... have connected to four different routers without issue and usually have a 300mbs link, and downloads and online BF3 has been great. So, not sure if it's a driver issue or a hardware issue some are having with the Killer card. Haven't needed to bother with Ethernet yet.
I was one that had the driver issue with Bluetooth turning off and not being able to be turned back on. Reinstalled the driver to the latest version and it's been fine thus far, time will tell So, definitely something a bit wonky with the Killer stuff, at least driver wise.

Are you having any problems with it?! Or you are just looking at it because there is a 'new' driver out there?! You know that say, don't fix what it's not broken... What I am trying to say, if it works okay don't meddle with it for no reason. It is not like you are going to see any difference in performance.
And to answer your queries, no matter what killer driver you have installed, you have to remove it completely before installing a new version. I hope you do not mind my earlier lecture

Not that I've seen yet! It appears that the extra power from the bigger supplies a couple guys have tried is not being used, seems to be setup to only use 180w, which makes sense I guess with MSI's NOS "feature" out of the box... it helps casual overclockers and makes 9k+ runs doable on 180w, but is really going to limit those with unlocked CPUs. Supposedly Tom's Hardware received an updated Bios/EC file that allowed it to draw more after their review, but I haven't seen anyone else with access to it... time will tell!
No hard feelings intended either over on the Asus board! Glad to see the 750's are running great! Didn't mean to come across as negative if I did, my apologies.

Well the kicker... or odd thing is... whenever my computer accesses the internet it causes the whole network to disconnect. Like the router itself just poops out and then comes back. Probably not the right place to ask... but worth a shot. I'll be using the internet fine, and my signal in the wireless manager on the bottom right of the screen (that little drop up menu) for "Wireless" is displayed as "802.11.n." However, right before the internet fails, it shows as 802.11.abgn. I've tried looking this up but haven't found anything.
The odd thing is, this has happened to my old laptop, with an intel wLAN card, my current desktop, which uses as Asrock XFAST Lan plugged into the ethernet cable, this laptop, both plugged in and on wireless.

Sorry for interrupting your issue ryzeki, but i have a quick question :
1st question : Will those thermal paste be fine for the 780m ? Cooling.fr - Pad Thermique ADHESIF Ultra Haute Performance 5W/mk 100*100*0.5mm - Pâtes & Pads Thermiques
I live in France so I can't get the same stuff as you guys in the US (100 x 100 x 0,5mm).
2nd one : I repasted my GPU with Artic Cooling MX4. After 30 minutes of BF3 or Tomb Raider (ultra) : I get 93°C max (no turbofan) !! Is that normal ? I read it is a little too much right ?
Thx for the answers
-
Not sure about the thermal pads as my French is rusty but when pushed at 99% GPU usage in a demanding game the GPU temp will run to 93C eventually without turbofan and is normal... it's the fan speed MSI chose out of the box, and I hope they correct it with a revised EC flash, but in the meanwhile I use turbofan and temps drop to the low 70s or use the GT70 Fan Tool set around 70-90%. In less demanding games or with settings dialed back a bit temps drop as usage drops, but as you've seen BF3 on Ultra 1080p 4xAA will peg usage at 99% continuously.
EDIT: On a different note and not to go for 3 posts in a row :hi2: Does anyone have a good laptop sleeve they've found that fits the GT60? I'm looking for a fairly snug fit, ideally with a pocket but that's not required. I've got the old sleeve I used for my G73JH and it swallows the GT60... would like a smaller tighter fit. I've searched a bit on the boards and didn't run across anything, and most of the 15.6" sleeves I see in the store are too small. Have seen a couple 16" online but not sure how they'd fit. Thanks for any info! -
Hi mate
1. Let me recommend you the Phobya thermal pads as they tend to be very efficient at heat dissipation. You can find them on ebay. I'll PM you the link where I bought mine. They come from Germany so no import duties
2. It seems a bit high but in-line with the stock thermal paste performance. I'd recommend putting a good pair of headphones and game with turbofan. At least you're on the safe side.

Could you, by chance, send me the modded inf? Yeah thanks to Dttran83 I modded an inf file to install the beta 326.19 drivers but since I am not home right now I haven't messed up with it so much. If there is a proper inf file, I will use that.
Which drivers are currently the best? That allow overclocking. I plan on going over 1ghz /3ghz clocks -
Don't worry about interrupting anything, this forum is for everyone not just me and sorry for not helping you out before!
1) Sorry I don't know the best pads but those can work. I think they should be 1mm but I am not sure.
2) I also get those temps. You can try repasting if you feel your paste job was off, but in my case, I also climb up to 93 and self downclock without turbo or custom fan. Now with my custom fan profile I game around 80 degrees.
I recommend you use software for framerate limiting, if you produce more than 60 or what you consider acceptable. It will help reduce temps a lot!
You can also try tweaking the CPU and undervolt it slightly to reduce temps on the CPU which eventually help the GPU. Monitor both CPU and GPU to see how both are faring
You should try both a laptop cooler and pherein's tool for the fan. Sure it is no longer silent when gaming, but my temps are more than manageable and I get to be overclocked.
