Could anyone tell me if the GS60 has a TPM ("Trusted Platform Module")?

Not the end of the world, but would like to cover it up if there's an elegant solution.... prefer not to just tape over or color in....
I was looking into a skin.. anyone try that yet? -

On a side note, is it worth it to pay $35 to have the GPU and CPU repasted with IC diamond from Xotic/GenTech. -
Anyway, the vBios that change the clocks and voltages, are you useing Sen7inel's for the 870M?
I really like the idea of having my GS60 run a little cooler and want to know if it's worth doing etc. -

maybe msi can take what youve done and release a new driver that fixes the fan speed... so people like me that dont want to mess with the laptop can just download and install it.

I think the idea of electrician's tape cut with an xacto/scalpal blade may be the best approach - may be able to slot right in over the text. Small enough, too, to not be obvious. -

why under graphics card does it say 6gb/3gb for vram
are there versions of the pro that have 6gb vram? -
MSI Global - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Motherboard, Graphics and more
6GB is useless 3GB is well enough -

Yeah I would not worry about having either amount, it should make 0 impact on what machine you buy.

You might try selecting different channels too
The beta drivers fixed my issue -
. Blahh

if you try the laptop next to the wireless router do you get normal pings?
can you plug in ethernet cable and see if you get normal pings without wireless? -
-
And I do have another laptop that runs perfectly fine, the wifi access I get in the exact same location with it is about 80-90 ms. It's also 3 years older. -

Success! I was able to fully control the GS60 fan(s) with software, no EC firmware flashing needed.
1) Install "RWEverything 1.6.5.9"
Download | RWEverything
2) Extract "Fan Control Tools 1.0.4" somewhere
Fan Control Tools by Pherein v1.0.4
3) Copy my GS60.nb into "Fan Control Tools/notebooks"
View attachment GS60_FanProfiles.zip
4) Copy my Default.rw, Quiet.rw, Silent.rw into "Fan Control Tools/profiles/GS60" (create that last folder)
View attachment GS60_FanProfiles.zip
5) Optionally launch "Fan Profile Editor.exe" to edit the 3 .rw profiles above if you want.
6) Launch "Fan Profile Applier.exe" to set your GS60 to a given profile.
7) Optionally use "Fan Profile Toggle.exe" to have a one-button-shortcut to swap between 2 profiles (limited usefulness)
8) Optionally add "Fan Profile Applier.exe" (with all "Remember" checkmarks ticked) to your Windows Startup so that you never have to worry about manually rerunning Step 6 after an EC flash or EC reset (intentional or otherwise).
Notes:
- Silent.rw has 0% RPM until 60oC, then goes to 44% and so on. That profile is not perfect -- It would be better if the hysteresis was larger than 3-4 degrees (i.e. the fan kept going longer on its way down from 60oC, past 57oC). I will try to figure out if the hysteresis length can be set somewhere in the EC.
- Quiet.rw has 44% RPM until 59oC, then goes to 52% and so on. Turns out 43% sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. 44% seems to work all the time. If your fan keeps going on and off after applying this profile, you may want to try 45% or above.
- When editing these RW files, the first 2 rows are for CPU, the next 2 rows are for VGA. My RW files all keep the VGA curve at default, but feel free to edit it.
- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
EDIT: some users report that the profiles posted above work with EC v.503 but not EC v.504. -
Good work! Can the GPU fan go any higher than stock?

I would disconnect all devices from router, reboot router, and start fresh from there with ethernet plugged in. You should have a perfect connection. If you can't have good speeds plugged in there is no way you're going to get good speeds wirelesssly lol
Something is buggy about your router and the new laptop -

any1 having problems with keyboard backlit? -
i think they're all like that(i have to same problem)

I just received my MSI GS60 Ghost Pro. I have been spending some time setting it up and making the adjustments to the wireless card, as posted here.
Man is this laptop nice!
-Fan speeds at idle and browsing are not loud, to me. I have an older laptop that is much louder and couldn't play 3d chess if it tried. With the performance the Ghost offers I am very happy with the speed of the fans.
-The screen is great on the Ghost. It is so much better than any of my other mobile devices. My desktop looks about the same and it cost me $600 alone. Very dark, darks and very crisp colors right out of the box.
-I'm sitting a few rooms away from the router and have not encountered the issues with the wifi card that some have seen.
-Build quality is what should be expected of a high end, not cheap, gaming laptop. It is as top notch as MSI could pull off, without having a unibody chassis. The only way they could have made this laptop better is going unibody like Apple.
No regrets going with MSI Ghost over the Razer 14. These were the only two laptops in my consideration due to portability and gaming power. I feel the MSI GS60 has the upper hand due to hardware.
I have to give a big Thank You to Ken and Joyce at GentechPC for their great customer service. I originally ordered a GS60 Ghost but then realized the Pro would be better for me. They were happy to change the order and get me the Pro, and all overnight.bishop225 likes this. -

Those mentioning backlight 'issues' around/under tab/shift/cntrl+f678
Same here.
Otherwise best gaming laptop I have ever owned!
Just amazing screen,870m is very impressive. -
Good to hear. I thought it was a tough choice myself. Waiting for my GS60 Pro now. I think I'll miss the nice unibody shell, but, other than that, everything else was pointing towards the MSI.
What finally put me over was how the RB14 only has HDMI and no DisplayPort. I think the GS60 is thus more "future proof". I guess I like having all the ports at my disposal - much more useful!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! -
Does anybody know if the GS60's 870M can do GSYNC over the displayport? Thanks!
-
1. No battery detected ? It show this even when it works on battery, without AC, and it showing strange behavior, don´t showing exakt % Power sometimes, sometimes charge somteimes not and so on.
2. Fn and + or - to adjust keyboard light can just turn on and off light, not increase the light, so its just one strength or off mode.
Any solutions to this?? -

I think it is just one intensity on this model.

Hey guys, so instead of this problematic Precision M3800, I might be switching over to an GS60. I was wondering that for a normal user, are there any issues such as heat issues or noise issues or even the most simple things like coil whining that could be annoying in a quiet setting? Also, how is the build quality? I am also a former Macbook Air user, so my expectations of build quailty may be abnormally high, but I am fine with it as long as the laptop does not look too cheap or flimsy. Thanks

It switches between AC and battery at random points. I've tried doing an EC reset a couple of times and running the MSI battery calibration, to no avail.
Is it a defect battery? Anything else I could try? -
I've just been reading a thread about the maxwell 860m. They're getting 5k on 3DMark firestrike with a volt mod and overclocking. Can the 870m get that or is it worth getting the 860m version (yes I know it's kepler) and overclocking that.
That's the Graphics only score btw.

in silent mode (fan off) with AC plugged in (with dinamic cpu voltage on -0,85 mw in Intel XTU) playing Youtube video I get 60 degrees C
but on battery (with same eco mode and same settings) I get 54 degrees
so what is diferent in this 2 cases (same mode same settings) and how can I get same heat on battery and on AC plugged in?
p.s. Asus nv550jk with same processor and settings reach 5 degrees less, about 49 -

20:52:40 Active AC 100 % 53,860 mWh
21:19:44 Active Battery - -1 mWh
21:19:47 Active AC 100 % 53,860 mWh
21:34:49 Active Battery - -1 mWh
21:34:52 Active AC 100 % 53,860 mWh
The duration of these switches to battery mode ranges from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. During that time the screen brightness goes to the battery setting (I have lower brightness) which is very annoying. If I'm playing a game, framerate drops to 30 fps (Geforce battery boost). It behaves as it the AC adapter was unplugged.
I have also seen a "Battery not detected" message while the laptop was not even plugged to the AC adapter. Powercfg reported:
Installed batteries
Information about each currently installed battery
No batteries are currently installed
Again, the laptop was running from the battery when I got this message. This issue is similar to the problem axel7 reported on his post.
I think it's a bit worrying that the battery has this behavior with a laptop that is brand new, and can't see any reason why this would be normal behavior.
Anyone has any idea what's going on and/or how to fix the issue?
